My daughter has adapted well to the nursery, exceeding my expectations. She was very attached to her mum but now enjoys attending. Big smiles all the way. The staff are fantastic and I'm still amazed by her progress, even though it took about four months (approx). Their regular feedback was invaluable.
Regarding the settling-in process, a gentler approach would have been preferable to minimise the child's distress. The abrupt separation caused significant parental stress, as our daughter's adjustment took four months. Unlike other nurseries, we could not remain with her during the initial familiarisation period. A more accommodating and child-centred approach would have facilitated a smoother transition. This is such an important stage in any child's life and can make it an interesting change rather than an unpleasant experience.

Reply from Tina, Nursery Director at Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback. I'm delighted to hear that your daughter has adapted so well and is enjoying her time at the nursery-it's wonderful to know she's making such great progress. The dedication of the staff and the regular updates have clearly been invaluable in supporting her development, and I'm so glad to hear that.I truly appreciate your perspective on the settling-in process. I understand how challenging the transition can be, both for children and parents, and I'm sorry to hear that the approach taken didn't feel as supportive as it could have been. Your feedback on a gentler, more accommodating approach is really valuable, and I will be sure to share this with the team. We always aim to make this important stage as smooth and positive as possible, and your insights will help guide us toward improving the experience for other families in the future.Thank you again for your kind words and constructive feedback.

My eldest son joined Eilmar in 2020 and my youngest has been there since July 2024. Our experience has been nothing short of fantastic, with the nursery manager, extremely supportive of both our kids. My youngest actually doesn't want to leave when I try to collect him, which speaks volumes about how
much he enjoys his time there. Would highly recommend this Montessori to anyone.

I sent my eldest to Eilmar (started in Sept 2021) and now my youngest goes here too. The kids have thrived there and always come back very happy. We've had a very smooth experience at the nursery and have always had great interactions with the staff. It's a lovely setting and we are very happy with
Eilmar and the experience we've had.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.776 for Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 Eilmar Montessori Day Nursery is based on 24 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
