Review from Bianca B (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Blue Nest nursery after having benefited from their nurturing and professional service for my both sons for the past 6 years. My first son is now in year 2 and my second son is just coming up to his last few weeks before going to Reception. The boys have loved the staff, the
facilities and the Montessori style has suited them and helped them develop into good communicators and independent learners who can manage their emotions.
I thank them and I am very grateful for their efforts. They played a vital part in my children's development.

He was close to his teachers and looked forward to the warm relationship and friendship he formed in his time there.
Recommend them for Pinner area.

Amazing nursery with caring staff!
Since my child transferred to this nursery, they've absolutely fallen in love with going to school. The environment is so welcoming and the teachers are incredibly attentive to each child's individual needs. My child has made so many new friends and often tells me
how much they like their teachers. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child receives here. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended this nursery since he was 19 months. He took a month to settle in but the nursery staff were reassuring, patient, caring and attentive towards his emotional needs in order to settle in.
I could track my son's progress and what he did on the app which is brilliant. I could immediately
see the positive achievements that my son has developed during his stay there.
The staff are very warm and lovely, I felt safe to leave my son at this nursery. He enjoys all the creative activities that they plan out. He enjoys the meals they provide which are delicious.
One of the best nurseries I have come across.

My son has been attending Blue Nest Montessori School, Pinner since September 2023. My son took little time to settle and staff and management are very helpful and caring. Staff updated me very often and communicated throughout the settling. There are many resources and activities throughout the day.
Highly recommend Blue Nest, Pinner.

I can not praise this nursery enough. They are truly a great find!
The staff and management are all passionate about providing exceptional childcare.
My twins were initially tricky to settle however with the experience and care of highly trained staff, they have both settled extremely well in the
nursery environment. They are developing several skills and growing into interesting little characters.
Thank you to the team at Blue Nest Nursery in Pinner.

My daughter has been attending the Pinner branch since January 2022 when she had just turned 2 and she has been excited every day since to go. The nursery has a homely feel and all the staff provide excellent care and learning opportunities. I’m particularly pleased with the new online communication
system where updates of activities are posted throughout the day and we can see a snippet of her enjoying enriching activities often with a big smile on her face.

Blue Nest Montessori has been a wonderful home from home for our son. We were a little apprehensive about how he would settle into a nursery, but the staff were incredibly supportive and made the transition almost painless. Our son now enjoys the place so much now I think he'd happily stay overnight
if he could! Thanks very much for looking after my son, he's grown so much over the last few months and we are eternally grateful.

Blue Nest was a wonderful nursery for my very clingy child. They made the transition happen with a great amount of care and patience. I was always kept in the loop. A very good experience all round. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.498)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.498) out of 10 for Blue Nest Montessori School, Pinner 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.798 for Blue Nest Montessori School, Pinner is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.798
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Nest Montessori School, Pinner is based on 7 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 + 0.1 = 3.7
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 7 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.
