Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The senior management team have been excellent.
A member of staff in pre-school has been outstanding lead, teacher and key-person towards my daughter. My daughter always had some difficulty during drop-off time, but this member of staff always made sure she settled fast. Her level of care towards the
children is outstanding.
The app has also been very helpful.
Thank you team BarleyMont!

Our son has been at this nursery since 2022, over the last 3 years he has progressed so much, we are so grateful to the staff here. The staff have accommodated our every need, and they have been an integral part of his development.
Our son has formed the most incredible bond with Soma and all the
staff throughout the different rooms he has been in, they will always be remembered as part of his journey.
The manager is always on hand to help and she has helped us alot over the past 3 years on numerous occasions to have our son in on nursery even if they are not his usual days, we are ever so grateful for this, your hard work doesn't go unnoticed!
Thank you for being a part of our journey, our son is ready for school and we cannot thank you enough for all your hard work!

Our daughter has recently graduated from BarleyMont having started when she was 10 months old. She has thrived in the setting and we are so grateful to all of the team there who have worked so hard to not only care for her and support her development but also to keep her entertained and happy, including
through challenging phases (not least lockdown). They go the extra mile to put on thoughtful trips and events for the children, including fantastic Christmas parties and a really lovely graduation ceremony. Thank you BarleyMont team, we think you’re fantastic.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a mother of two children who both attended BarleyMont Fairlop Montessori Nursery. My youngest has just graduated this month. This nursery has been fantastic in the growth and development of my children and getting them ready for school. Every single teacher is kind, compassionate and ensure children's
safety is at the heart of what they do every single day. Any issues or concerns are addressed with progression and compassion. My children loved attending this nursery each day and I always recommend it to other parents I know. Thank you to all the staff for everything you have done for my children.

My son was really very happy in this nursery. He went on all 5 days and they were very few days he was sad. He always wanted to go to nursery to meet his friends and the staff present. All the caretakers were kind, caring and responsive. Thanks to everyone who participated in his happy moments in the
nursery.

Review from A K (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We joined the nursery in January 2020 and both of my children have been attending. The flexibility of opening hours and the flexibility of the staff and management team to meet the last-minute needs of working parents has been amazing. My daughter is now in reception and every time we pick up my son
it still feels like home. Montessori education is fantastic! Only one thing, 12 hours counts as a day is tough when you attend 8 hours and aim for a free week of 30 hours, but flexibility does have a cost! We love it there!

We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our son. The staff are so genuine, kind, hard-working and the care for each child in their care. Our son loves going and has grown so much developmentally since joining. We have already recommended the nursery to new parents looking to return to work.

My son has been attending BarleyMont for the last 3 years and I have seen him flourish into a confident, happy and independent individual which can be credited to him attending BarleyMont. All the staff at BarleyMont are great with the children and I have complete trust in their care. BarleyMont offers
a range of activities and learning for the children that really helps give them a great foundation in life and school such as tidying up, group activities, learning about different cultures etc. The other practical elements of BarleyMont are their opening hours, parking facilities on-site and the close proximity to Fairlop tube station. I would definitely recommend BarleyMont to any parent.

My son joined after my daughter. They both settled in well. The keyworkers and nursery manager have been great to deal with. No complaints. I am happy with my child's development and feel he is ready for the next chapter in Primary School. Lovely setting and would recommend to others.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.010)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.010) out of 10 for BarleyMont Fairlop Montessori Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.833 for BarleyMont Fairlop Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.833
  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 4.177 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for BarleyMont Fairlop Montessori Nursery is based on 6 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.577
  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.
