What can I say about Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori, whatever I say won't be enough to describe my experience. My daughter developed so well, she's very happy and confident. Staff and teachers are welcoming and positive. My daughter learnt not only about the world and essential skills at her
age but she was also ready to join reception confident on maths and English. Thanks to everyone who contributed to her development.

It's been over five years since my elder son entered Snowflakes on his first day, now he is already in year one, and my daughter now has been in Snowflakes for 2.5 years. I am very grateful to all the staff in Snowflakes for taking care of my two children, all of them are very patient and helpful, and
my kids are well looked after and learned a lot there. Especially want to say thank you to the manager; she always gave me help and advice when I needed it. Thank you for all the staff’s hard work.

My four-year-old has shown great improvement since he joined the nursery last year. He socialises much more and has made friends too. Has learnt to read and write and is learning maths now. Lots of co-curricular activities and a variety of learning activities. Overall, a good place to have your child
in.

I have been sending my daughter for about a year and a half now, and I could not be happier or more appreciative of the care they provide for her. Every day she comes home telling me about the new things she has learnt, and their wide variety of topics is incredible. I trust them all implicitly, and
I can see that they genuinely care for my daughter, which is truly the best thing about the nursery. The teachers are all so lovely and approachable, and feedback is shared daily, so we feel very involved in our child’s development.

I have sent my two boys to Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori, the elder one is in year three, and the younger one is going to go this year. The nursery is outstanding. Both of them were looked after very well. They have excellent staff who give attention to detail to every child. Staff is very patient
and polite and works really hard to nurture every child. Nursery is very inclusive they celebrate all the festivals. My kids enjoyed the food served in the nursery. And the Montessori is very educational, kids learn a lot before they start reception at school. I am highly grateful to the manager and her staff for their perseverance in putting in hard work to nurture my kids.

My son attends Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori, and since joining, I can see how confident he has become. He absolutely loves it, and I am happy he has already made friends. The staff are friendly and interactive; they have different activities for the children like science experiments, computers,
cooking and also Montessori free play. As my son is very active, he enjoys joining in all the activities. I am happy to see him learning new skills as well as seeing how independent he is becoming. You can tell the staff care about the children as they give you detailed feedback at the end of each day. I am glad I found this nursery, and I am confident this is the right nursery for my son to thrive in. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for about four months. The teachers are amazing, informative and loving. They always communicate and are transparent about everything. I was nervous at first, but I am comfortable here now. She loves it and made many new friends. I love the safety measures they
have in place and feel super safe. If you are looking for quality care in a safe and fun environment, then this is the place for you. Thank you.

Nursery with the best team. Snowflakes nursery was recommended to me by other parents, and I was not disappointed. I am very happy that my children can attend it. The teachers are very friendly, they do their wonderful job professionally. My kids love to go back to nursery every day. I couldn't imagine
a better one. The director and the whole team are wonderful and very protective, approaching each student individually, professionally, to the best of their ability. I recommend this school with all my heart.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Snowflakes for the care, attention and education provided to my son. I had returned to the UK after two years of Covid in India where children suffered tremendously with no outlet for play or learning. My initial experience was with another nursery where there was
no learning structure in place (no agenda, no key workers, no reporting system), and the staff were off-hand and detached in every way. I moved my son to Snowflakes after reading some wonderful online positive reviews. From day one, my son exited the nursery buoyant and crying out jubilantly - 'this is the best nursery ever!' From the leadership, the admin head, the fabulous team of headteachers and the rest, my son bloomed under their care. They were thorough to the T - professional, attentive, caring, and covered everything from playtime, social development, Montessori, academics, and fun. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

My husband and I are so pleased with the dedication and care the staff give to our daughter. She started nursery at 18-months and has come a long way. The staff organise a variety of activities and encourage a growth mindset, which we feel is so important. They care for our daughter so well and provide
daily feedback, which is fantastic and very reassuring. Each developmental need is met, and our daughter comes home happy and excited for the next session. She has become an independent little lady and has many interests which are encouraged at nursery. It's also lovely to see her social skills develop. Can't recommend this nursery enough, and we will be sending our son also. Thank you, Snowflakes Day Nursery staff!

We had a wonderful experience with Snowflakes Nursery. Friendly and polite staff helped my son to settle into the nursery and they helped boost his self-esteem. The staff are well trained and they provided individualised support to my son to achieve his best potential. In a positive healthy environment
of a nursery, my son developed his speech and language very quickly with the help of interventions led by staff. Staff always gave me constructive feedback to help him at home as well. It was a very pleasant journey to work with the nursery and, as a working mother, I could rely on them always. The helpful office staff and management responded to my queries immediately and dealt effectively. I strongly believe they set a fantastic foundation of school learning and made my son ready for school.

My daughter joined as a baby but left a confident little lady.
My wife and I cannot thank the staff enough for how they have cared for our daughter, educated her and provided an amazing environment for her to flourish as a person.
Our daughter started nursery when she was approx 18 months old, and
she was very shy and quiet. Within a month, we saw a massive change in her confidence and her speech. The nursery keeps the children engaged in a variety of activities, and our daughter was always learning something new.


The staff genuinely care for each child and treat each child as if they were their own, and as a parent, it gave us the greatest of assurances our little girl was receiving such great care.
We will forever be grateful to Snowflakes Day Nursery, and it will hold a special place in our lives. If you are thinking of sending your child to Snowflakes, you will not regret it.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.984 for Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.984

  • b) 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 Snowflakes Day Nursery & Montessori is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
