My husband and I, sincerely appreciate the wonderful care Snowflakes Day Nursery and Montessori has given our daughter. We never have to worry about her because we know that she was always having a great day. They provide her with a safe environment, which is very important to us. Their nursery is a
perfect size because we felt she got the attention she needed to grow emotionally. In addition, we are very happy with all that she has learned before entering primary school. Our expectations have been exceeded with the level of care she has received from all their team.
We are so happy that we will bring our new baby born as soon as we need it, and definitely will continue to recommend the nursery to other parents.

Snowflakes is a great nursery. My child is always happy when he goes in and comes back from the nursery. The range of activities is amazing. He always says how much fun he had and how much he has done through the day. He loves nursery food. The teachers care so much for him, and I am always updated
on everything that happens. I feel that my child is happy and safe there, and this gives me peace of mind when I leave him at Snowflakes and go to work. Highly recommend it to everyone who wants the best for their child.

This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been attending since she was two years old and her confidence has grown so much. The staff are friendly, approachable and very caring towards my child. The staff and the nursery keep me updated with the progress of my child and for any change. The best thing
is that my child has a great time learning new things and having fun playing outdoor and is a happy child when she comes out of the nursery. I would recommend this day nursery to every parent.

Snowflakes nursery is a nursery beyond my expectations! My daughter started here in September 2019, and from day one, we were welcomed with kindness and support. The staff are very helpful and professional, and they answered all my questions in a kind and professional manner. My daughter is in the Greenroom,
I must say, every single individual in this nursery starting from the managing director, deputy manager, administrator, nursery nurses, chefs, everyone is super kind! I have high expectations, and I heard many stories from moms finding their kids with dirty nappies or wet clothes saying that ‘nurseries can’t be perfect ‘! Well, at Snowflakes, this never happens! If the clothes are wet, my daughter gets changed immediately, and she is not left in a dirty nappy, since if she was, she would have a rash instantly, so I would know. She is fed well and looked after well, so I feel so grateful for finding this nursery! The staff work extremely hard, so a huge thank you!

I am incredibly pleased with Snowflakes Montessori Nursery.


My three year old started at the nursery in September and has come on leaps and bounds in her development, her speech, her creativity and her social skills.


I value and appreciate the friendly, kind teachers who constantly make a big

effort to understand my daughter, her character, her likes and dislikes. They work with her to bring out her best, giving her educational, but fun activities that she raves about when she gets home.


I was apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery due to her shyness, but I needn’t have worried, I knew I’d made the right choice when my daughter came home after her second day and said to me; ‘I didn’t miss you any more mummy, I love my nursery’.


The only regret I have is not enrolling her sooner.

My 2 sons attended Snowflakes Northolt. Boys happily say goodbye, always came home clean/dry. The bond they had with the staff was so great not to mention the professionalism of all staff including the manager. It was clear they had learning needs. It was amazing how the nursery brought this to my attention,
organised someone to work closely with them at no extra cost and commissioned a SENCO. I had difficulty understanding at the beginning but I was well informed and the support I got was tremendous. Every day I saw them learning new things. The team met the needs of my children in its entirety, placed them in the right school and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. I would like to add how patient the manager has been with me around some of the issues I faced, she is very understanding but also firm, just as a manager should be.

My daughter has been attending Snowflakes Day Nursery since June 2019. I see the difference in her day by day. Actually, when she started to go, she was 18-months-old, and she didn't start to speak. As soon as she started to go regularly, she started to talk. She is learning lots of new activities,
she has started to sing rhymes, and she loves to read books. She has learnt how to tidy up. I feel so happy when I see the growth in my daughter. I am happy about joining her at Snowflakes Dat Nursery.

Excellent nursery. Extremely clean. Very caring and friendly staff. My little one has started school now but still misses Snowflakes Day Nursery. She thoroughly enjoyed her time. I would highly recommend Snowflakes Nursery to all parents looking for a nursery for their child. Seeing your child happy
is an amazing feeling and at Snowflakes Nursery my child had a great time. It's the best place your child can be. We are so happy that we were introduced to this nursery. Couldn't have found a better one for my daughter.

Our son has excelled whilst being at the nursery. Initially, he was quiet and reluctant to participate but in the space of 2-3 weeks, he came out of his shell and has become a confident and engaging child. As parents, we could not be more happier with the service provided. The staff genuinely care and
want each child to achieve and for us, we are so grateful for choosing Snowflakes. Thank you from us all.

My two kids went to this nursery when they were one year old. Teachers are fantastic. They provide very homely touches with the kids. My two kids were very happy and loved all the teachers. Coming to school has been their favourite thing. May it be Christmas/Diwali/Eid, they celebrate all the festivals
and teach kids as to why we celebrate. The get-together parties, fireworks, graduations, Christmas dance - everything is fantastic. My kids learnt all phonics and started to read and write before they started primary school. No words to explain. This nursery is fantastic.

Both of my children attended the nursery and both loved it despite the difficult start settling in. It feels as a second family, where we know each member of staff by name, with some very special and truly amazing teachers. Both children thrived at the nursery, developed communication skills, made friends,
had lots of fun and learned letters and numbers as a bonus. Nursery offers varied healthy menus, fun activities, walks in the park, loving and nurturing kids on their own. Junior members of staff should shadow senior members of staff to ensure the same standard of care is provided by staff members.

Snowflakes gave my daughter the best foundation for her education. The teachers are friendly, supportive and always communicated well with me.
My daughter is in the first term in reception now and is excelling. She is reading and has a good understanding of maths. I truly believe that this in part
is due to the work completed at Snowflakes. I would highly recommend this nursery. They also facilitated my daughters medical condition.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 1 year of age. Most importantly, she is soo happy. When she is not at the nursery she is talking about the staff and other children. She uses the word 'love' towards staff. They cuddle and comfort her. Now she is older she is able to tell me
these things. She has learnt so much whilst being there. I'd rate this nursery as outstanding.
They have a transition period for the kids to settle in a new environment. They took the time to get to know my daughter and took lots of information. They were so happy to accommodate dietary requirements, health issues etc.
They provide details feedback daily when you go to collect your child. In the first year, you get a book with that information in. I loved this, read them every day. Also, ensuring I'm not giving the same meal to my daughter in the evening! They are in the process of making a move towards making this electronic. Have so much more to add but there is a word limit.

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.
