It's a Berkshire Healthcare nursery which provides additional assurance to the standards they keep - It's always clean and tidy (somehow!).
There's a range of staff that have been consistently there, all of which are incredibly engaging. I have not seen much of a revolving door other than Maternity leave which is positive. The nursery manager is such an asset, always responsive and present.
The fee rates are competitive, and despite slight increases in the last 2 years, I have not thought for a moment to look elsewhere.
5 stars for the whole team from me.

Thank you for your review and for the points you have raised. Our area manager will speak to our IT and information governance teams regarding the photographs. It can take new children a while to get used to the nursery routine and menu. Please do speak to a member of staff in your child's playroom with regard to this. We are very pleased that you have a good relationship with our staff team and we will pass your comments on to them.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Jack in the Box Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.807 for Jack in the Box Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.807
b) 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 Jack in the Box Nursery is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
