Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

As a single parent, it was very daunting to imagine anyone looking after my son that wasn’t me, however when he started Belmont Farm and was in the charge of his keyworker I just knew from the get-go that I had made the right decision in nursery schools. Fast forward a year and he could not be happier.
He has come along in leaps and bounds in both his confidence and his physical and emotional development. Also coming back after lockdown and transitioning from Bumblebees to Dragonflies, I had no qualms in knowing that everything would run smoothly because of his keyworker. I am so thankful that we are at Belmont Farm Nursery and that she was there to take my son in from the start of what was a very difficult journey for me and give him the same love and care at nursery that he gets at home. All of the staff at Belmont are just fantastic, my son and I could not be happier. Thank you all for everything you do.

Our daughter started attending in July at the age of 10 months. She has settled into the Bumblebees class so well. We are so impressed by how many fun things she does there!
Her main key workers have shown such care and attention towards her and she is always so happy to see them.
We would definitely
recommend the nursery to other parents and are so glad that we chose it for our daughter.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery. The teachers are all amazing and take care of him so well. His key worker is great with him and he absolutely adores her. The regular updates throughout the day are fantastic and I love seeing all the exciting activities he gets up to. The staff are always so
happy to help and the communication is one of the best things about the nursery!

Our daughter loves going to nursery and that is testament to the nurturing care, rapport and support from all the staff. Everyone takes the time to say hello, smile and show a genuine interest which in total provides such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
This, together with all their family events
and all the thought that goes into daily activities and festivals makes it feel as though you are part of something very special. A positive community caring for all the needs of your little one. The app keeps you informed so you feel a part of their journey each day and the food is so good, our daughter always eats it all.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My 10-month-old son started at Belmont Farm Nursery almost as soon as it opened. From day 1, the whole process has been brilliant. The facilities are absolutely second to none, it's nice to know everything there is new and never been played with. The location is wonderful too, considering technically
we live in London, I'd never have expected to find such a green and nature-loving nursery.
My son was quite attached to me before starting but the settling in process, including a home visit, was thorough and sympathetic to both of us and after a month there he is now completely happy there.
The staff are all really lovely, and the app that the nursery use is brilliant and the girls are fab at keeping in touch and sending pictures.
Obviously it's a bit more on the expensive side but it is worth the money. I wish it has opened 3 years ago so my eldest son could have gone, I feel his city semi-detached house doesn't even compare to Belmont Farm!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.477)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.477) out of 10 for Belmont Farm Nursery School 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 18 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 4.991 for Belmont Farm Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.991

  • 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 4.486 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Belmont Farm Nursery School is based on 18 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 185 number of registered child places is 37. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 37 = 0.486

  • 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.
