Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Nursery Rhymes only since October and I have seen a pleasant improvement in language, behaviour amongst other vital development criteria. My daughter is more confident and enjoying Nursery Rhymes more with each visit. I am confident and assured with my choice of nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have seen an amazing transformation in my daughter, since starting the nursery. She used to be so shy and reserved but now has happily changed and enjoys playing with children and going to nursery. I have seen her confidence go higher and her trying to have conversations with men now.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl started in August aged 6 months. She has had no problems since starting. She had developed well with all aspects. The care received at Nursery Rhymes has been second to none, and it has felt like home from home when she is dropped to nursery.
Staff are always open to any of our recommendations.
They are always making sure she is fed, which is good! Very happy and recommend to friends and family.

I cannot stress enough how amazing Nursery Rhymes - Leicester is. My second child now attends here and it is still as good as if not better than when my first child went. I would highly recommend Nursery Rhymes - Leicester to anybody who wishes to give their child the best start in early life.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is calculated as follows: ( (317 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.938
  2. 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 Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
