After a difficult experience at another nursery, enrolling our daughter at Blue Nest Montessori School was the best decision we made. The staff are incredibly caring, creating a warm and welcoming environment where our daughter has flourished. The Montessori approach has ignited her love for learning
and we appreciate the excellent communication and involvement from the school.
With great facilities and a focus on hands-on exploration, Blue Nest Montessori is a fantastic choice for any parent seeking a nurturing and stimulating setting for their child. The management and the team are absolutely amazing and they go above and beyond to make every child happy.
Highly recommended!

Our son has been going to Blue Nest Montessori School for over two years and we are very pleased. It's a fantastic nursery run by intelligent, thoughtful and extremely caring people. The nursery understands its responsibility of looking after and protecting your child while nourishing the littluns with
plenty of activities which open their minds and make them smile. They spend lots of time outside in the garden and sometimes they take the kids to parks or to the library. Furthermore, the food they provide is nutritious and always devoured by our kid.
Most important, is how happy our child is when he arrives and (even sad!) when he leaves. Thank you so much for looking after our lovely kids.

The care and development of my daughter is brilliant. I always feel 100% confident she will be well looked after. The activities they do with her are age-appropriate and work towards all of her developmental skills, they are also lots of fun.
My daughter has made great relationships with all the staff
and she enjoys coming to nursery.

My son has been attending Sparkling Stars since he was 9 months old and he is due to leave to go to school this summer.
We have always been really pleased with the nursery and staff. They are all genuinely very caring and helpful. He is very happy here and will very much miss it when he leaves.
We
have nothing but positive to say about the staff and would definitely recommend.
The nursery has gone from strength to strength.

I am a parent of a child that is at Sparkling Stars, it's a lovely place and my child has grown in confidence, she loves going and she has made many friends. The staff are polite and warming and always make me feel that I can talk to them if I have any worries about my child, my child is very happy
and it's all down to the hard work, love and care of the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.885) out of 10 for Blue Nest Montessori School - Borehamwood 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 5.000 for Blue Nest Montessori School - Borehamwood is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.885 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Nest Montessori School - Borehamwood is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.385

  • 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.
