a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Old Rectory Nursery School (TORNS) in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 15 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 4.941 for The Old Rectory Nursery School (TORNS) is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.941
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 The Old Rectory Nursery School (TORNS) is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 14.8 positive Reviews (74 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 15 Reviews ÷ 14.8 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.

My grandson has learnt so much at his time in the nursery. He has made some positive changes in his behaviour and mannerisms. My grandson did not know how to play in groups or was unable to engage in activities, he is now able to do so. Everyone is nice and welcoming and also very helpful.

The Old Rectory Nursery School has looked after my son since September 2014 until September 2017. Throughout the years and as management changed hands, the nursery has come on leaps and bounds. They have made tremendous improvements throughout the years. This has been reflected in my son's progress, they provided him with a firm foundation to started reception. That by October, my son can sound most letters and count to 30 as well as write his name.
Excellent nursery, with excellent caring and well-trained staff. They did a range of activities with him and he regularly brought his masterpieces home! They make each child feel special and a part of the family.

I'm very happy that my child was going to this nursery. He was very happy here, which makes me happier.
He learnt how to play with other children, he started to talk English, he learnt colours and many other things.
I'm very happy and I will come back here again.

I am very pleased with the service we have received from TORNS. My daughter has developed and learnt so much in her time she's been here.
This is down to the great service the nursery provides and the amazing staff that have helped my daughter along the way.
My daughter has grown in confidence and is so intelligent which is down to how much she has progressed over the years.
I would strongly recommend this nursery to friends and family.
Thank you to TORNS for always making me and my daughter proud and happy!

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Mrs M (Mother of Child) on Monday 11 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
I would like to say a big thank you to the whole team of (TORNS) for looking after my daughter and making her shine and grow into an independent smart girl. She loved her teachers and always wanted to come to nursery in the morning very happily which used to make our day. We trusted the staff and they did a brilliant job for which we cannot thank them enough. Even office staff were very helpful as they accommodated her whenever we needed her to attend extra sessions. She made good friends and is going to miss them a lot, not forgetting kitchen staff for cooking and providing the children with yummy food which she also loved. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you all for giving the children enormous love and hugs.

The nursery is managed very professionally by friendly staff. It is situated in a safe area away from the busy roads. My son tells me about new fun activities that he has been learning about every time he has attended. They help with all my son's needs, for example, education, health and self-care. It is a nice clean, bright environment for all.

Thanks for making my daughter's days in nursery wonderful. Very good nursery in my opinion and would highly recommend it. The care, love, affection, motivation and moral ethics my daughter has received and the changes I have seen in her since she has joined the nursery is outstanding and I thank them for all that. It's like a big family in which the teachers knows all the names of each single child. My daughter is going to miss their warm cuddles every morning....

I would highly recommend this nursery, I found it extremely welcoming, smiling faces. You all actually made me feel special, you took time out to speak to me especially me as a grandmother. My granddaughter loves coming to you as she must be loved, she loves people to hug her and make her feel special and you all were extremely loving towards her. I will miss you all too, but we know my granddaughter will too and she will remember you all dearly. Thank you all very much and keep up the good work. I will highly recommend you thoroughly.

My granddaughter attends this nursery, teachers are very friendly and my granddaughter enjoys coming to the nursery. She asks all day to come in, it's a good nursery. My grandson also attended the nursery 3 years ago. I would recommend this nursery to everybody, it is very clean and tidy. The children have fun and it is a very happy environment. If I have another grandchild I will definitely send them here. I have always had good experiences here.

I am so much satisfied with TORNS. My son enjoys the whole time he spends in the nursery. Have seen so many changes in him. He is very attached to the teachers and staff. Staff is very friendly and helpful. All of them have put a great effort to make my son who he is today and to help him adjust in the nursery and in the main stream school. I am so thankful to all the staff for taking care of him and making him a good boy today and for the future. You all will be sadly missed. I strongly recommend TORNS to my family.

When we were looking for a pre-school to enrol our children, we looked at a lot of pre-schools and I am very happy we chose The Old Rectory nursery School. The teachers and the staff are great. Their dedication to my child's growth academically is second to none. We are happy with what our child has learnt and how much she has improved.

Our initial attraction to this nursery was the excellent cleanliness of the environment upon our first visit in 2013, and we have proved it wasn't a one off. We are very impressed with the management to the front-line staff because they are approachable and we have developed a good rapport. We trust the nursery hence we have entrusted three children in their care in the last three years. We are exceptionally happy with the care they offer to our children and the regular updates we receive about their development. The excellent learning environment can be seen in our kids development and interpersonal skills.

Excellent staff and nursery. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at nursery despite being reluctant before due to language barriers. The teachers were able to deal with his difficulties really well and I am extremely satisfied with his academic performance and improvement in speaking skills. The nursery itself was very well safe guarded for children and I am happy with the food that was provided all being healthy. Overall an excellent nursery for children under five.

Torns is an excellent nursery which provides a high level of care and learning. The friendly and experienced staff made everything from settling into the day to day activities all fun and exciting. Our daughter spent two and a half years at Torns and felt totally at ease with the nursery environment. She has become a confident little girl and mixes well with other children. A varied and rotating food menu has encouraged our daughter to try new foods which has made her a less fussy eater. The overall standard is excellent and I would highly recommend this nursery. We are now getting ready to enrol our second daughter.

Fantastic nursery!!
Being first time parents; my partner and I naturally wanted to ensure we found the best placement for our daughter.
We, and most importantly, our daughter absolutely love the nursery!! Our daughter joined at 9 months old and is now a very bubbly confident chatty inquisitive 21 month old.
The staff are fantastic. I also love the fact the nursery has a large enclosed garden so the children enjoy outdoor play and aren't cooped up inside all day.
A diary of food eaten, activities and naps is completed daily and parents are able to read these as each child has their own pigeon hole. All in all I would recommend The Old Rectory Nursery School 100%.
