I can not express how lovely this nursery is. It truly is such a nurturing and caring environment. The team were amazing with my son, and I have recommended this nursery to several other parents who have also stated that they were impressed. Not only does it have an indoor setting, but they take the
children out to a garden club within the village and walk to the forest. Would definitely recommend a visit, to say the least!

My son attended Meon Springs aged 2-4. He was welcomed with kindness and lots of smiles from friendly staff. Meon Springs has a passion for nature and my son enjoyed the Forest School and Garden Club activities.
They're in a quiet location away from the main traffic and love anything to do with nature!
Home-cooked meals are a winner and the effort the staff put into ensuring children's interests and needs are met is incredible!

I can’t recommend Meon Springs Montessori Nursery more highly! The staff team have created a safe and nurturing start for my little one’s early years journey and could not have had a happier two years. Lovely outside excursions for forest school, gardening club and sports activities. The staff create
interesting weekly themes (often child-led) for the children to explore and learn with lovely resources. Excellent parent/teacher communication and I love seeing photographs of what they get up to each week. A cosy, warm and secure environment in a lovely, quiet village setting.

A wonderful, nurturing and dynamic setting. I am especially impressed by their weekly changing theme, a huge amount of work and thought obviously goes into it and it is always current and relevant. The staff are fantastic and the addition of a daily home/site-cooked lunch which the children share together
is really lovely. They also spend a lot of time out of doors, whether playing in the village hall garden, the field opposite, attending garden club and forest school or just going for a walk around the village. Such a brilliant experience all round for my child.

We have had two children at this nursery and have only positive things to say. Nurturing, cosy, friendly and all-round wonderful. Fabulous setting in a village hall in a rural village and plenty of outside time in the garden, opposite field, forest school and a local garden for gardening club. Inside
there are lovely toys and activities led by the experienced teachers and delicious hot food for lunch. We have been pleased with it!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.176)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.176) out of 10 for Meon Springs Montessori 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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 4.783 for Meon Springs Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.783

  • 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 4.393 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meon Springs Montessori Nursery 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 28 number of registered child places is 5.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.893

  • 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.
