The Review Score of 10 (maximum of 10) for Cricket Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 9 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Cricket Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 5 for Cricket Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 5
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cricket Nursery is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 9 Reviews ÷ 8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Cricket Nursery has a Review Score of 10 (10.000)

My son goes to this nursery and he seems like a happy baby when he is dropped and picked up. The staff there are very friendly and approachable, it has a calm atmosphere and is very hygienically clean.
Every day my son learns new things such as nursery rhymes, interacting with other kids and also feeling new textures such as sand and paint.
Overall I am very happy with the nursery and will recommend this to friends and family.

The care and support the staff team at Cricket Nursery have extended to us has been amazing in helping our child. The owner has been tremendously patient with us during the settling in period, offering cups of tea and coffee and the odd tissue when required! As a result of this, our child felt comfortable to leave us and explore on her own from day 2 and it was me who required the tissues! There is always a vast selection of resources readily available for children to explore and we especially like the investigation table/activities that are set up each half term. Our child comes home talking about magnets and wanting to find all the things made out of metal at home!
We are hoping our child will attend an independent school for the next stage of learning and Cricket nursery are already laying the groundwork for preparation required for these further coming assessments.

Great nursery. Great staff. Happy kids.
We like that we are sent pictures weekly which helps keep us informed. The staff team are exceptional at helping kids settle and show a great deal of flexibility in trying to accommodate our needs.

We have been in above nursery about a couple of weeks. We are very happy in our two week's experience and by the reception of the staff, but it is too early to have a say about the whole thing but so far we are very satisfied by the staff.

Our son has been extremely happy at Cricket Nursery. The new management team have turned the nursery around and can now bounce off new furniture and resources.
The latest Ofsted report shows just how well the nursery manage children's progress and how inspiring the teachers are. Last week my son came home telling me all about the magnets that he had been playing with at nursery.
It is a relief to know that at Cricket Nursery our son is so well cared for and is learning so much.
