Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery! My little boy has been attending Montagu Community Nursery since 2019 and he loves it! All staff members are welcoming, friendly and caring! The staff members make me feel really comfortable to go to them for any advice or concerns that I might have. I have really loved watching my
little boy grow and develop at the nursery and hearing about his day, things he has learned and hearing him sing songs and reading the same books at home that he hears at nursery.

Review from Gemma W (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Montagu since September 2020 and was shown the absolute best care when settling and despite it taking him a while to settle he now jumps out of his pram and runs to his room excited to see his friends and staff. He is now eating a wider range of food after being given lots of homemade
meals that he's never eaten at home before. The staff are genuinely amazing and nothing is too much hassle. Management are always welcoming and will do anything they can to help you out or put your mind at ease in a manner that makes you confident enough to approach them with anything.

Lovely staff, we know our child is safe and well looked after while she is here. Our child enjoys the food and loves the staff.
She's always happy to be dropped off and is full of smiles when we pick her up.

I have to say since my son has been to this nursery he has come on leap and bounds. The staff are so friendly you can have a good chat with them and they always tell you if your child has had a good day and what they have had for their dinner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Montagu Community Nursery for over 2 years now and absolutely loves it, she even asks to go to nursery on a weekend. The staff are fantastic, are lovely with the children and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter has learnt so much and she has become such a confident little
girl, I will be very sad when she leaves to go to school. If you are looking for a nursery where your child can have fun, learn and grow this is it! I would recommend Montagu Nursery to all my friend and family.

Review from David J (Father of Child) published on 4 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Montague Nursery is a fantastic place for our children to attend as they grow, develop and learn in their early years, the staff are dedicated to giving our children the best possible care and meeting each child's needs. I am a single father of four young children who all attend Montague Monday to Friday,
all staff and management at the nursery have always been very supportive of my whole family from the beginning they are there to listen and give guidance or help when needed, they are also very flexible, especially in certain circumstances. Most importantly my children really love the time they spend at Montague and they all have great relationships with their key workers and all staff. I feel my children really are receiving the best possible start in life.
I cannot thank the management and staff enough for all their continuous support, thank you all very much.

My son went to Montagu Nursery from the age of 2 and unfortunately, he had to leave earlier this month, as he is due to go to reception in September.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough, my son loved it so much and was sad to leave. Each and every one of the staff are lovely, caring and helpful.
My son came on leaps and bounds with his education. This nursery is a fun, happy and very enjoyable place for child and parent. Always made to feel welcome and very friendly.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Castle Nurseries at Montagu is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.955 for Castle Nurseries at Montagu is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.955
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castle Nurseries at Montagu is based on 15 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 = 3.875
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
