Review from H S (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall we are very happy with our daughter's nursery and can really see her confidence and personality growing. We are happy with the care she receives and I know that she has a fantastic bond with her key person. We enjoy the app to see her daily updates and photos. I have been worried about the building
work going on while the nursery is open and I do hope the small amount of outside space the children have access to is not lost.

Review from Neil K (Father of Child) published on 25 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall I am happy with the performance of the nursery. Staff are always happy to communicate about my child's day, this is an improvement I have noticed. Other improvements I have seen are the different activities and resources. The staff have been very good with my son's allergies, especially when
we were unaware of what the actual allergies were. My feedback would be that there still seems to be some differences between little learners and pre-school in development. I would expect to see more information on my four year olds development within his milestones than I see in my two year old.

Review from Lacey (Mother of Child) published on 9 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has gone to Cherry Harbour since he was 13 months (now 3) he settled in so well and still absolutely loves nursery. The staff are very caring and supportive of the children and they often put on lovely events for the children at Christmas and Mothers Day, etc.
I have also found them very flexible
and accommodating when I have requested to change hours to drop my son in early on the odd occasion. Perfect to support our working family!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) out of 10 for CherryHarbour Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.914 for CherryHarbour Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (508 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 549 Ratings = 4.914
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for CherryHarbour Nursery is based on 46 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
