The Nursery Ladies are excellent communicators; they are knowledgeable about my son and care for him a lot. They explained his needs and progression well, and we couldn't be happier with the experience he is having. Thank you all.

We couldn't be more grateful to the wonderful staff for making our little one's transition so smooth! When our son first started, we were naturally a bit nervous, but the patience, care, and warmth from the nursery team have been incredible.


Thanks to their support, he has settled in beautifully

and now absolutely loves going to nursery! The staff have gone above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. It's amazing to see his confidence grow each day.


A huge thanks to all the carers for your kindness and dedication. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery!

I just wanted to say thank you, to you and your team. I am indebted to the service you and your team provided my son. He loved going to nursery and came leaps and bounds from the first day he walked in. I want to thank you for your nurturing care and all the help in developing his mind, behaviour and
social skills. It was all summed up at the graduation, where I proudly saw him stand patiently, engage with his cohort and participate with his own lines. You have been a vital part of his development and deserve so much credit. Again, thank you so much for everything you all did for him. I know he misses you all deeply and would go back in a heartbeat. Good luck to you all, I wish you all the best! Keep up the amazing work!

My experience with Fountain Montessori has been positive. My son has come on leaps and bounds with the support of his teachers and independent learning. The teachers are attentive, and welcoming and update regularly my son's progress. I thoroughly enjoy the Montessori style of learning and the independence
this has brought to my son. I would recommend the nursery for your child.

My daughter started attending Fountain Montessori Edgware in April 2024 and 2 months in I can already see huge progress in the way she communicates and lives her daily life. I am extremely happy to notice how she is closely monitored by the teachers and to receive daily updates via the app. The vegetarian
menu shared in advance with parents is also a great addition, as allows the child to make healthy choices even outside the nursery. I would recommend Fountain Montessori Edgware to any parent who wants the best education for their children, while they play safely and grow up healthy.

My twins have been at Fountain Nursery since they were 1 year old. I have found the staff to be incredibly nurturing and engaging with my children. They walk in with a smile every morning and I am confident they will be well looked after and cared for whilst they are not in my care. The food on their
menu is excellent and the grounds are large and colourful.

We are extremely happy with the care our son receives at Fountain Montessori - our daughter went there and despite this being further away from her school, we wanted our son to receive the same. The teachers go above and beyond for the growth of the child and my son absolutely enjoys going everyday,
and looks forward to seeing his teachers and friends. They have been wondering in recognising the individual needs of a child and focusing on them allowing my son's confidence to grow in a secure, safe setting.

We have had a generally positive experience with Fountain Montessori. The staff is warm and attentive, making a noticeable effort to ensure the children feel welcome and secure. Our child has enjoyed her time here and has made significant progress in several areas.
The spaces are bright and well-equipped
with a range of activities that keep the children engaged. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to blend educational activities with play, which has helped our child develop both academically and socially.
Communication from the nursery is consistent, with regular updates on our child's progress and activities. This has been very reassuring and helps us stay connected to what our child is experiencing each day.
Overall we are pleased with our choice of nursery. It provides a nurturing environment where our child feels happy and supported. We would recommend it to other parents seeking a solid early education foundation for their children

Our older child went to Fountain Montessori Nursery in Edgware and now our younger child is there. We have been very happy with the Montessori teaching and have seen how fast our children have developed here. The teachers are excellent, so caring and compassionate and have real skills in getting 35
3 to 4-year-olds to sit quietly and listen! Without such amazing teachers, it wouldn't be the same.

Fountain (Edgware) has the most friendly staff that all love children and understand their needs. The nursery celebrates diversity and encourages parent participation and has taught my wife and me quite a few things about how to effectively nurture my child. The Manager leads a wonderful team where
they endeavour to accommodate our every need. The admin team is quick to respond and is efficient in discussing/explaining. Her designated key carer has been so good for our child and always keeps us up to date with their activities. This nursery gets 10/10 on my report card.

Very happy with the nursery. My daughter loves it there. She always smiles and is keen to get inside when I drop her off. She has close bonds with teachers and everyone at the nursery is putting on extra effort and extra warmth to comfort her and connect with her. Really appreciate that teachers provide
extra support and care when a child has a hard day. They will spend more time with the child, extra cuddles and more attention. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my daughter is well looked after and her emotional needs are well taken care of.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Edgware is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.863 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Edgware is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Edgware 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, 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.
