Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son joined Dizzy Ducks nursery last year, he has developed in so many ways. He is growing more confident and is making steady progress in his learning and development, this is down to the team work between myself and the staff at Dizzy Ducks. They have been putting the care and attention in
place from the very start, which is exactly what I was looking for in a nursery. I feel that the staff are easy to talk to if I need advice or have concerns about my sons development, I feel that they will always be honest and reassuring. I would like to praise the staff at Dizzy Ducks for always being professional, caring and nurturing to all the children, and i would personally like to thank the staff for making my little boy feel comfortable, settled and most importantly Happy.


Son is 2 years old and has global development delay.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.564) out of 10 for Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.564 for Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.564
  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 Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school is based on 13 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 13 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.

We are a child’s first educator after their parents, and we understand that their very first steps in learning will guide their future. It’s important we work closely with parents to nurture them so we can create a better world.
