Review from M L (Mother of Child) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Fountain Montessori Colindale for over a year now and she enjoys it so much! She has learned so many new things that she wouldn't have learned at home. English is not our native language so we are impressed when our child sings nursery rhymes that we don't even know!
The teachers have always great activities for the children and look after them with care and attention.

Good, caring staff in the babies group and the pre-school group. Fantastic teaching techniques and material. My daughter is always very happy to attend and always leaves with a smile. The meals provided are all very healthy and there is a global menu. Overall a good nursery.

Review from Shabnam A (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery since March 2021. Since he's joined I have seen such great improvement and I cannot express my gratitude to the Colindale team enough, they've been extremely patient, helpful and supportive not only towards my son but also towards me and helping my son with his
early development even at home by giving us tips and tricks to help improve at home as well.


His communication and socialising skills grew which allowed for his confidence to build. I saw a great improvement in terms of his speech and letting people around him know exactly what he needs and how he can be helped which I think is amazing. I must also include all children at the Colindale branch who are so polite and always taught manners and its a delight to hear my son being so respectful and always remembering to say please and thank you. He's always looking forward to attending nursery and has such a sweet and strong bond with his teachers which makes me extremely comfortable and thankful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this Nursery since January 2021 and it has been an excellent environment to assist in her early development. The staff have always been friendly, patient, enthusiastic and helpful in what I can imagine can be a challenging environment. My daughter looks forward to attending
and has formed a good bond with a member of staff. I really couldn't ask for anything more and very comfortable with my daughter being there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.720)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.720) out of 10 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Colindale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.720 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Colindale is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.72
  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 Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Colindale is based on 20 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 20 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.
