Our experience with Echo Montessori Winchester has been nothing but outstanding. The manager is the friendliness person you ever speak to and all the teachers there are so committed to each child's development. My little boy joined this pre-school, unable to talk, and now he doesn't stop talking since
they did one-to-one sessions teaching him how to express himself. I will be forever grateful for this. If you are looking for a preschool that will bring your child out of their shell, then this is the preschool for you.

My son went to this nursery from 11 months old until he turned 2. The staff is very caring and you can tell they really put the children’s interests first. They organise lots of activities and they are very good at comforting the babies when they’re upset. The outside space is very limited. They do
go out regularly though. They’ve improved their Ofsted rating recently by making some changes. They don’t provide nappies, wipes and sunscreen like some other nurseries but that means you can choose what goes on your baby’s skin.
After leaving, it has taken them 3 months to refund my deposit and I only got it back after signalling it to court so just something to be aware of.
All in all a great nursery with lovely staff but improvement needs to be made at management level.

Our three-year-old has been at this nursery for nearly a year and absolutely loves it. It's a warm, nurturing environment and all the staff are lovely and seem to really care about the children. Our daughter has blossomed since she started there and her confidence has really grown. They do lots of activities,
and she gets plenty of stimulation. The only downside is the outside space, which is small, but they've done the best they can with it and packed it full of things to do.
Our one-year-old also started recently and seems to be settling well. The baby room is a wonderful space for little ones - it feels both spacious and cosy. I would absolutely recommend this nursery - especially to children who get a bit overwhelmed in larger groups.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.046)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.046) out of 10 for Eco Montessori, Winchester is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.708 for Eco Montessori, Winchester is calculated as follows: ( (20 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.708

  • 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 3.338 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eco Montessori, Winchester is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.213

  • 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.
