The caring Montessori certified teachers enrich the children's learning with hands-on activities that let them use their imagination, growing their confidence and social skills.

With modern security measures for a safe environment, children aged 12 months to four+ years are nurtured to build respect, creativity and a sense of self.

I am really happy with the nursery in general. The staff has been really helpful with my daughter during her settling week and all the way through. My daughter has learned new words everyday and she has become more independent. We had a parent meeting for her progress this month, to talk about the steps
we need to take at home to help her have better communication and progress further. I really want to thank the nursery staff for their great job.

Friendly and professional staff who are always willing to help share tips and push the development of the child. Good facilities for children to learn through play and they host interactive sessions for the parents to also be involved. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been at the nursery for 2 month so far and we can see she has developed and is trying to be more independent. The staff are all friendly and keep me updated on how my daughter is getting on.

I found the meeting very useful to get an update on how my daughter is progressing at nursery. Hearing about her achievements and next few months goals. I would like to thank the whole team at the nursery for everything they do.

My husband and I went through several nurseries before we settled in Fountain Montessori Colindale. The first impression to us was that the nursery is clean and tidy and the staff are well trained. Also, it is the first time for us to understand the wills and ideas about Montessori Education. I was
impressed and agreed with the respectful of children's wills. My daughter feels safe and enjoys her time at school. I have seen her progress and happiness after going to nursery. I feel thankful to all the practitioners and caretakers they treated my daughter very nicely and swarm I hope all the staff can work happily and I recommend this nursery to other parents.

So far we are happy with the standards of care provided; our baby seems to have bonded well with the staff. He is usually happy when we pick him up. I noted he is well-fed and has frequent nappy changes - he is rarely hungry when we get home and never has any nappy rashes (this indicates good care).
The place is clean and we feel welcomed. I can see some changes since our baby started nursery, especially in the social aspect and being more confident when exploring. I would suggest a review of the nap times for the smaller babies - 1 scheduled nap a day is a big push (most babies under 12-14 months need 2 naps a day). We like the variety of the menus - considering it's a vegetarian school. Children are offered nutritious meals and snacks. Overall we are very happy with the nursery!

Fountain has proved to be a great stepping stone for our little one to start her nursery experience where she has become a confident and independent toddler. Fountain were very flexible from the outset to tailor the experience to suit our requirements which helped set them apart. The settling in experience
was smooth and carers have been personable and genuinely interested in our child. As a result, she now enjoys going to the Montessori!

Our daughter has been attending Fountain Montessori Colindale for over a year now and she enjoys it so much! She has learned so many new things that she wouldn't have learned at home. English is not our native language so we are impressed when our child sings nursery rhymes that we don't even know!
The teachers have always great activities for the children and look after them with care and attention.

Good, caring staff in the babies group and the pre-school group. Fantastic teaching techniques and material. My daughter is always very happy to attend and always leaves with a smile. The meals provided are all very healthy and there is a global menu. Overall a good nursery.

My son has been attending this nursery since March 2021. Since he's joined I have seen such great improvement and I cannot express my gratitude to the Colindale team enough, they've been extremely patient, helpful and supportive not only towards my son but also towards me and helping my son with his
early development even at home by giving us tips and tricks to help improve at home as well.


His communication and socialising skills grew which allowed for his confidence to build. I saw a great improvement in terms of his speech and letting people around him know exactly what he needs and how he can be helped which I think is amazing. I must also include all children at the Colindale branch who are so polite and always taught manners and its a delight to hear my son being so respectful and always remembering to say please and thank you. He's always looking forward to attending nursery and has such a sweet and strong bond with his teachers which makes me extremely comfortable and thankful.

My daughter has been attending this Nursery since January 2021 and it has been an excellent environment to assist in her early development. The staff have always been friendly, patient, enthusiastic and helpful in what I can imagine can be a challenging environment. My daughter looks forward to attending
and has formed a good bond with a member of staff. I really couldn't ask for anything more and very comfortable with my daughter being there.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.498)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.498) out of 10 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Colindale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.598 for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Colindale is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.598

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fountain Montessori Nursery & Pre-School - Colindale is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
