Review from Danielle K (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined the baby room in June 2015. Her key worker made not only our daughter feel at ease but us as well. She looks forward to going to nursery and it's a delight to see her go off and play, feeling safe and secure with kindness and support shown by the staff. Her language skills have developed
beautifully, so have her feeding skills and her ability to play and explore.


The work she took home at Christmas time melted our hearts, such a lot of hard work must have gone into preparing such gorgeous activities. Our friends were very impressed with the quality of work.


Our daughter has special dietary requirements and the nursery has always made sure she never misses out, when they do cookery activities the staff always provide similar but safe options especially for her.


Her learning journal and daily diary is a really wonderful way of keeping us informed of her developments. We love reading the observations made by the staff.


We cannot thank the nursery enough for exceeding our expectations of a setting and keeping our little girl happy and safe!!

Review from Louisa H (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend Mount Vernon Nursery. One child is 3 and the other is 1.


This setting is a very warm and welcoming place to both children and parents, which has enabled both my children to settle well and feel safe and secure in a loving environment.
The care for the children is excellent.


Communication

is fantastic. When you collect your child you are told lots about their day etc and you can ask anything you wish to. Via email there is lots of communication and I particularly enjoy reading the newsletter about what each room will be learning about that month. This enables us as parent to support the learning by consolidating what's been done at nursery and also preparing them for this.


The staff are very approachable at all times and are happy to answer any questions I have had throughout the 2 and a half years my son has been here.
The support for my son has been amazing and the staff have been more than happy to support us a parents on ways forward for him.


The children have a well planned, broad and balanced curriculum, full of fun filled activities such as music, dance, gardening club, languages, piano and much more. As well as their expected learning curriculum.


My son is now in Pre Prep and starts school in September 2016. This nursery are preparing him well for school with the structured routines and expected behaviours. His social development has come on leaps and bounds with a huge input from the staff.


My son has learnt so much here and the staff really take time to put strategies in place on how to bring each individual forward to the next steps of their learning.


My son has had really lovely keyworkers and staff working with him, whom he is grown very fond of and talks about a lot at home. They are part of the family.


My daughter started in September 2015 one day a week. She enjoys the toddler room and has settled well. She too has lovely people working with her and feels safe and secure.


I would recommend this nursery 100%

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Mount vernon Day Nursery since he was 9 months old, he's turning 4 next month! I have been extremely happy with the level of care, attention and professionalism the nursery has offered to not only my son but to us as parents too.
Both the staff and activities in the Baby room
and Toddler room have been fantastic. They helped make his transition into the nursery easy even helping me as an upset parent!! Now he is in the pre prep and loves every minute! He can't wait to go in especially on a Wednesday for show and tell and his piano lesson. I am happy I made the choice to keep him here for another year instead of a school nursery as he does so much more including Spanish and French lessons, Piano, Ballet and Woodwork.
I have been extremely happy with everything about the nursery and will continue to recommend friends and family here too!!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.986) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Mount Vernon Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 10 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 4.833 for Bright Horizons Mount Vernon Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.833
  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 4.153 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Mount Vernon Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 10 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 124 number of registered child places is 24.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 24.8 = 0.403
  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.
