Review from Jordan B (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dolls House is a truly wonderful environment, made even more special by its incredible staff. They are kind, welcoming, supportive, and genuinely nurturing. My little girl has been attending for around eight months now, and she has loved every moment of her time there.
It has been such a joy to watch
her grow and flourish-her development has come on in leaps and bounds, and I truly believe that is thanks to the care and attention she receives. She has built lovely friendships, not only within her class but across the whole setting.
The team have shown her so much patience and kindness, and I couldn't be more grateful. They go above and beyond to make every occasion meaningful, from birthdays to Mother's Day and beyond. The activities they create are always engaging and fun, making each day exciting for the children.
I'm so looking forward to seeing how she continues to grow and develop over the next couple of years at such a special place

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.086) out of 10 for Dolls House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Dolls House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.086 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dolls House Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.086
  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.
