Friendly and caring nursery from day one. The staff are brilliant. They really take the time to learn about your child. Good communication through the app, email and phone. If ever there's a problem they will follow up with you. We really enjoy taking our child to this nursery and never had any problems.
Have recommended to others.

Simply amazing.
All the staff are so caring and you can see they are very dedicated to their job. Always very informative at handover and my son is always happy to go there and comes home smiling! The children do so many activities and my son has come such a long way in the year he's been there, with
his confidence and skills he's learned.
Always a great atmosphere and everyone is always happy.

We looked at many nurseries before settling on Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori. It was clear from the moment we stepped through the door that this place was different.
The staff are well-trained and education focused. They nurture, teach and put time into planning activities and a curriculum that is
engaging and enriching.
Both of my children have flourished here. The nursery prepares them brilliantly for school and when my youngest leaves this year, we will be genuinely sad to have to say goodbye!
When Bambinos took over, I had extreme reservations however with the manager I know the Montessori approach and ethos that had been built over many years are safe. The nursery has gone from strength to strength and with the high expectations they have of their staff, I know this will continue to be the case.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Co-ordinator at Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It truly means the world to us to hear how much your children have flourished in our care.

I absolutely love this nursery and my eldest calls it her special place. My youngest now attends, she is really shy and all the staff have been amazing with her. I always leave smiling. There is so much for the children to do here, they have a brilliant outdoor space as well. First class nursery.

All of the team at Frogmore are absolutely amazing with our son. He massively enjoys his time there and has done for the last 2 years. I cannot recommend this nursery any more highly than to say that I would never consider sending my child anywhere else and would urge any parents that want an amazing
Montessori experience for their child to check them out!

Small nursery and preschool, with a family feeling, now part of Bambinos group of nurseries. My son has been attending for two years and I can say that staff go above and beyond for the children. The setting's management team is highly trained and knowledgeable in all things early years, Montessori
and SEND (special educational needs and disabilities). Highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since 11 months old and it is really fantastic. I work as a paediatric specialist so I am familiar with a lot of settings and I'm super critical but immediately it has just impressed me by being so nurturing and all staff have a great understanding of how
to encourage and develop cognitive and play skills, speech and language and also the focus on self-care has been really great in encouraging independence. She has grown into a wildly independent, inquisitive child and that is largely due to the work that they do. All staff are approachable and happy to talk through anything.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Family Liaison Advisor at Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We make sure to only employ the most passionate and dedicated practitioners in our nurseries and it is great to see this being reflected in your kind words. It's wonderful to hear that they have played a part in supporting your child to become independent and inquisitive! If there are any team members that you would like to mention specifically, please do get in touch with me.

We love Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori! It's a beautiful nursery with such caring, dedicated staff. After viewing lots of other nurseries, we just didn't get the same feel that we got from Frogmore. My little boy is so happy at nursery and comes home with lots of stories about his day. My second little
boy is due to start in July. I wouldn't put him anywhere else!

Reply from Jess Robertson, Family Liaison Advisor at Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori

Thank you for your lovely review! We are proud of our dedicated, caring team at Frogmore and as they read all of the reviews, these kind comments will make their day. We're happy to hear your little boy has such a wonderful time with us and are excited to welcome his little brother soon.

Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori has offered and supported us, as a family - our 2-year-old has a medical condition which means he has the development of a 6-month-old - Frogmore has supported our son's needs and adapted nursery life to suit him.
We could not praise the nursery enough.
The nursery
is always clean and the activities are wonderful.
We have kept every piece of artwork they have made!
Food is yummy and nutritious - our son eats every mouthful.
A wonderful nursery - a home-from-home.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Family Liaison Advisor at Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad to hear your son is having such a wonderful time with us and that the adaptations are supporting your family. The Frogmore team work so hard to make sure that every family feels safe and confident entrusting their children into their care, so it really is wonderful to read your comments.

We feel grateful to have discovered such a nurturing environment for our son's early years. All of the staff, four in particular are truly exceptional. Our son, who has been gradually opening up and engaging more, has shown remarkable progress under their guidance. From sensory exploration to practical
life skills like baking, art, and reading, to outdoor adventures in nature, each day is filled with fun activities, fostering his growth and confidence.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication, love and care.

It’s not easy when you leave a piece of your heart in nursery, especially for me because my son hasn’t many friends in the UK but he feels very loved and happy after a few weeks, he’s enjoying spending time with new friends and being able to learn new things, Especially When I see my son’s key worker,
I think he’s with my mum or my sister because his key worker is a great person and she’s understanding exactly what my son needs. My son is a bit upset when I was leaving him in the morning but after a few minutes, he was settled nicely and started playing.
I want to say thank you so much from the deep of my heart.

Newly joined, 2024, and so happy we chose to join. Our child is happy and excited to attend, his needs are met and any struggles are dealt with kindness and help. Specific shout out to two members of staff, in particular, who have been instrumental in this huge adjustment for our child and are amazing
staff.

Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori feels more like a second home than a nursery.
My daughter happily goes in every morning and is happy and content on pick-up. The staff go above and beyond to reassure, communicate and tell us, as parents, all about the day and how my daughter has been.
I have been
through the nursery process in a different setting with my eldest child so it is easy to draw comparisons and in all honesty - there are none- Frogmore comes out on top every time.
I feel my daughter is not only emotionally content but is also coming on leaps and bounds with her communication and skill set which I wholeheartedly believe comes from the wonderful care and support she receives during the nursery day.
The staff also do a wonderful job at making me feel included as part of the setting and each and every member of the staff that is warm and friendly, not just the odd one or two.
They are constantly looking at ways to improve the facilities on offer and the garden space is wonderful.

I have consistently found Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori exceptional. Staff provide a very caring and nurturing environment. The activities and play are always creative and fun and I love that a lot of time is spent in the outdoors! I also love receiving all of the creative drawings and cards that
are often sent home!
One member of staff has been a wonderful support to my daughter and me personally. She is always so welcoming and informative and it is wonderful to see how much she clearly cares about her job and the care she gives. My daughter often talks about her at home which I think is testament to the positive influence she has had!
Another member of staff is wonderful! She is always so smiley and is very caring and fun and has consistently been great.
Another member of staff is such a warm and caring support. She is so informative, kind and is clearly lots of fun too!
Another member of staff always has the biggest cuddles for my daughter!
The manager manages everything wonderfully. She has been a brilliant support to us and leads a wonderful, happy team!

I highly recommend Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori for your child's early education. As my third and final child prepares to move on, I can attest to the wonderful experience they've had here. The staff, led by the manager, are exceptional - her wealth of experience shines through in the nurturing environment
she cultivates. The nursery boasts a fantastic garden and outdoor play area, providing enriching experiences for children to explore and learn. Your child will thrive in this caring and stimulating environment.

I was worried about sending my daughter to nursery but I didn’t need to be. They worked with us to get my little one settled, she now loves going to nursery. I really like how varied their activities are and how much they enjoy exploring the children’s interests. Most days there is a board outside saying
what the children have done, the staff are always excited to tell us what our daughter has been up to as well. The staff are always enthusiastic and care about the children, it seems like a home from home.
My daughter always talks to me about the staff with a smile on her face. She likes spending time with one member of staff, in particular, because ‘she’s lovely and funny’, she also says she enjoys talking with her key person.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori, they’re welcoming and I feel my daughter is safe and well cared for with them.

Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori

Hi - wow, what an amazing review! It's wonderful to hear that your daughter has transitioned to nursery with the help of our team. We put a huge emphasis on that settling-in period, as it can be stressful for children (and parents!) to start nursery, so it's really great to see that it is working. The team work so hard to make sure that every family feels safe and confident entrusting their children into their care, so it really is wonderful to read your comments. The team read every one of these reviews and this will really make their day!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.945 for Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.945

  • 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 Bambinos at Frogmore Montessori is based on 17 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
