Review from Heidi W (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Blake attended MSDN from approx 8 months old, it was a challenge to send a baby so little to be cared for by someone else but the staff and space felt so caring and like a home from home. Blake loved being at nursery, he made friends and learned new skills and was cared for exceptionally the entire
time he was there.


Blake made amazing connections with other children but also the adults all of whom remembered every child's name and have been welcoming and kind.


We are very greatful for the time Blake had at MSDN and it set him up to succeed in school.

Reply from Jonathan Irons, Director at Montagu Square Day NurseryThank you for your kind review! We are so glad to hear that Blake enjoyed his time with us at Montagu and that we helped to make his transition to school go smoothly.

Review from Nicola E (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one is in the baby room here and absolutely loves it. I was nervous about going back to work but the staff have been amazing and made the transition so much easier. They do lots of different activities - crafts, garden time, sensory trays etc. I love that all the staff know our little ones
name and have really gotten to know their personality, even if they don't work in that room. Highly recommend

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Montagu Square Day nursery for just over a year. During this time, she has grown in confidence and formed good bonds with the other children and the staff.
She takes part in lots of different fun activities each day she attends which has helped with her development.
The
staff are warm and friendly and always give a thorough update at the end of each day.
Overall, I am extremely happy with Montagu Square Day Nursery and would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery, my child settled really well and genuinely loves all the staff. I like that it's an independent nursery and that the majority of staff has worked there for a long time. You can tell they all care about their work and love doing it
Reply from Jonathan Irons, Director at Montagu Square Day NurseryThank you so much for your kind words!We are truly proud to be an independant nursery as it allows us to be flexible for our parents and staff in ways that a corporate setting cannot.If you have any more feedback on what we can do to improve we'd love to hear it!

Review from Philippa W (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy (now 15 months) started at Montagu Square just before he turned 1 and he absolutely loves it. He looks forward to going in the morning, comes home happy in the evening and we get lots of photos of him enjoying lots of different activities during the day. The staff genuinely care and
I love that everyone in the nursery knows his name, not just the staff in his room. My two comments for improvement is that the food can be quite sugary (e.g. biscuits for snack, brownie for pudding) but this will have to change with the new government regulations anyway, and that messy play could be messier (e.g. real leaves and natural objects rather than replicas). But a happy boy and a happy mum, highly recommended.
Reply from Jonathan Irons, Director at Montagu Square Day NurseryThank you so much for your lovely review, it's always a pleasure to hear such glowing feedback!Your comment regarding our menu choices is completely understandable. We are commited to ensuring that our children eat healthy, balanced, home-made meals and snacks whenever possible and the new goverment guidelines are being adapted to our existing menus.I'll be sure to pass on your comment regarding messy play to the managers to see if we can review the materials we use for those activities.We really appreciate your candid feedback and are so glad to hear that your son is enjoying his time at Montagu so far.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Montagu Square Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.910 for Montagu Square Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.91
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montagu Square Day Nursery is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
