My son attended the nursery since he was 11 months old.
We absolutely love our son's nursery, and he loves it just as much! He's made so many wonderful friends here, and it's been amazing to watch him thrive in such a positive and nurturing environment. The staff are simply outstanding - they go above
and beyond in everything they do. The manager is fantastic and truly cares about every child and family. The level of care and attention they provide gives us complete peace of mind every day. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend this nursery!

My child was constantly attacked by this boy who, by the confirmation from the nursery's management team, had behavioural issues and the manager of this nursery did not do anything to prevent this boy causing physical harm to my child.
After one of the many incidents, when nobody from the nursery even
noticed multiple scratches on my child's face, I complained in writing to the manager but she just ignored me! The next day my child attended this nursery, she was attacked again, by the same boy!
When she was confronted about this, the manager started defending the boy and describing this boy's problems, completely relinquishing herself from any personal responsibility for failing to protect my child under her care!
My child was scared and frightened to go to this nursery again and their casual managerial style did not instil me with any confidence that they have the competence to prevent any further harm to my child, so I had to resort to moving my child to another nursery.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, though we are disappointed with its content we can appreciate your feelings. As you have transferred to one of our other branches we appreciate that it is not with our company or service you are not happy with just in particular one of our staff members who happens to be one of our experienced managers. It is with sadness that we have not had the opportunity to discuss this situation either prior to you relocating your child to our other setting and or since transferring. Children with neurodiversity have different strengths and challenges and as a result, require understanding to enable them to meet their full potential, it has always been our intention to support all children with both neurodiversity needs and children who do not have these challenges. I am pleased that your child appears happy to attend nursery and engages well with children. I am happy to meet with you to discuss your feelings at any time to discuss and resolve this.

I have 2 boys attending Hanwell Montessori, my eldest has been there for over 2 years and both of them love it. The staff are great and I can tell the boys are well taken care of.
The food they provide is nutritious and my kids are always coming home showing off new things they’ve learned. I’d highly
recommend this nursery.

Really happy with Hanwell Montessori. All staff are extremely friendly and caring. It’s such a relief to know my daughter is being well looked after while my partner and I work. The communication from staff is excellent and I can tell that my daughter feels comfortable/happy there. Really impressed
by how healthy the catering is too. Whilst choosing a nursery, we visited a few who gave babies cake and ice cream! Hanwell Montessori gives out a fruit platter for children’s birthdays. They are also really conscious about allergies! I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son has attended this nursery for over a year now and we have found the staff to be kind and caring. Our son enjoys coming to nursery and we feel he is well cared for. The nursery provides a variety of activities and he’s thrived in this setting.

My daughter started this lovely nursery aged 2. She was very reserved and shy. But the kind and friendly staff (teachers) helped her a lot. She looks forward to going to Montessori every day! Even on a Sunday. She made a special connection with both the children and teachers. She loves her key person,
and the manager. She always says her name and what fun days she's had. All staff are so kind, caring, supportive, understanding, and respectable! I 100% recommend this fabulous nursery.

I am so lucky to find Little Inventors in Hanwell Montessori Nursery & Pre-school
, truly a lovely nursery with amazing staff and facilities.
My twin boys couldn’t be happier with their teachers and they feel as comfortable as they are at home since day one. The quality of care and education are fantastic
with highly experienced teachers.
The facilities are very clean and safe environment for the children.
Thank you so much little inventor's family for supporting me and many other families to raise our children with great manners, high level of learning and preparing them beautifully to be ready for school learning.
I definitely recommend little inventors Hanwell to any parent reading this review; rest assured that your child would be looked after; this is out my family’s experience with the nursery.

A truly brilliant nursery with wonderful staff would highly recommend it! Our daughter started at Hanwell Montessori when she was 9 months old, we viewed a few different nurseries but instantly fell in love with this one. The baby room staff were so caring and fun, they were helpful and considerate
of our child's allergies, and always showed lots of care and affection. Our daughter is now 3 years old and loves the nursery, the staff and other children. Thank you for looking after our little one and for providing such a happy and safe place for her to grow, learn and develop.

I have twin boys here at the nursery who are 2 and a half, I feel like a lot of our children who were born throughout the pandemic have found it very difficult to socialise not being used to being around a lot of people. Here at Hanwell Montessori Nursery & Pre-school, the staff are like an extension
of our family, the boys are made to feel loved and cared for and they wake up every day looking forward to going in, the transition was made so easy from being at home with just me to being around other adults and children and that's all down to the extraordinary staff.
The boys come home singing beautiful songs they've learnt, counting numbers and recognising new and wonderful things from a nursery. I'm currently potty training and the nursery are very proactive in the daytime and mimic what I do at home which is helping the process so much. I have nothing but positive things to say I'm so glad I found them.

I couldn't ask for a better environment for my son; kind, communicative and educational, the nursery has been a great start for him and I've seen him flourish - both physically and developmentally - at the setting. You can tell the staff have great relationships with the kids there and when I drop him
off in the morning (which isn't always easy) they go out of their way to make the children at ease.

I have two children in this nursery and have always been happy with their development and care. My oldest (4) has learnt how to put her coat on and is very independent. My 2 years old can also put on coat, and socks and shoes. They learnt about hibernation the other day and they learn all about the
seasons and celebrations of different religions. They both come home with lots of artwork and have lots of friends at the nursery. the app means we can see what they ate and if they have slept. We are happy with this nursery.

My son loves this place and was so excited about coming back after lockdown. The staff team are great, there have been some changes over the two years we've been there but the new manager is excellent and has made lots of positive changes. The environment is really nice with a lovely outside space
and lots of different areas to play in. The learning is top notch and they work with the parents to ensure we are all on the same page with both teaching and behaviour. My wife and I have found the feedback from the staff team each day really helpful and give us lots of things to talk to our son about to embed the teaching, and so he can talk about all the 'fun things' he gets up to. When we first started there, our son struggled to be away from us and so the nursery team created an individualised plan for our son which made all the difference - they really care about the kids and it shows. The nursery opens at 07:30 and last pick up is 18:30 which is great, as both my wife and I work.

Generally very happy and feel the standard of care is good but communication to parents could be better. Very late in sharing important updates like management changes, staff training days and themed days (Easter bonnets, pyjamas day etc). Communication about incidents that have happened at nursery
is getting better but there is room for improvement.

Hanwell Montessori is a great nursery to send my child to. The environment the children are in is safe and stimulating. The staff are very nurturing towards the children. There are lots of staff to observe and interact with the children. They do lots of activities to progress children's learning and
play. We are satisfied with our son's development.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 10 months old. He is now 2 years - it has been the perfect balance of nurture and development. The diversity of activities and freedom for them to grow as individuals is exactly what we wanted. The key workers are friendly and it's clear they have as much
fun as the kids making it a lovely, happy atmosphere.

Very pleased with how our son's speech has progressed since starting at the nursery. The staff at the nursery, particularly his keyworker takes a keen interest in the welfare, development and happiness of the children. Hanwell Montessori Nursery & Pre-school provide a warm, safe nurturing environment
for children. Our son loves attending the nursery and is clearly very fond of all the staff which makes us very happy and confident.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.089)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.089) out of 10 for Hanwell Montessori Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.159 for Hanwell Montessori Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.159

  • 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 3.93 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hanwell Montessori Nursery & Pre-school is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.33

  • 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.
