The Review Score of 9.8 (maximum of 10) for The School On The Green 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 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The School On The Green in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.814 for The School On The Green is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.814
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 School On The Green is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 4 positive Reviews (20 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 4 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.

School on the Green is a lovely warm, friendly nursery. My son absolutely loves it there! The staff are professional and extremely supportive to parents. I am very sad my son will be leaving in September.

We moved our daughter from another local pre-school to attend this one. She absolutely loves attending The School On The Green. The level of care and support from the teachers is fantastic, the mix of indoor and outdoor play and many different creative activities is superb. We have a second child who will also be attending when she is old enough.

School on the Green provides an excellent start for children. It is set in a beautiful location, allowing the children to be outside in a large open area. The staff are superb and treat the children like their own. My daughter absolutely loves it there and hasn’t once moaned about going, in fact I think she’d love to go more if she could!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Clare O (Mother of Child) on Friday 17 November 2017. Relates to November 2017.
All 3 of my children have attended this preschool and they have all been extremely happy here. The staff are highly experienced, care and support the children like they are their own. The setting itself has lots of outside space and is in a pretty rural location. They provided excellent SENCO support for my son with ASD diagnosis and have worked hard to progress my other son's speech that was delayed for his age. In my opinion, there is no preschool like this locally. I can't recommend it highly enough.

A small nursery with a caring, nurturing attitude. All staff engage well with the children, developing good relationships. They make the most fo the lovely setting and provide good opportunities to explore, play and learn.
