Review from Stuart (Father of Child) published on 19 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's a fantastic nursery, and I couldn't recommend it enough. The staff are always friendly and engaging and show a very high level of care to all the children. The setting is cosy and there is plenty to keep the children occupied, and the learning is varied and interesting. Our son loved his time
there.

Review from Joanna M (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We and our daughter love Meadow View Childcare. The nursery staff are lovely and caring. They are so flexible, there is never a problem with dropping our daughter early or picking her up late. She learned so much during her time at nursery and is now a very independent and confident little girl. There
is a lovely atmosphere at the nursery and our daughter is so happy there.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.398)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.398) out of 10 for Meadow View Childcare 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.972 for Meadow View Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972
  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 3.426 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadow View Childcare is based on 3 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 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 = 3.25
    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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.176
  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.

Jojo

Job Title: Senior Team Leader Joined: 2020

I'm Jojo. I have worked as a level 3 nursery nurse in the childcare sector for the past 25 years. I absolutely love it, there is not much I don't know about the early years. Happy, well-cared children are my expertise! I like to update my professional practice and have recently completed courses in understanding autism and mental health in young children. I have currently working as one of the deputy managers at Meadow View for the past 2 years. I consider it my work family.


I have been married for 17 years, and we have a son and a daughter who are now teenagers. I love a busy family life.

Hi, my name is Liz, I have been in childcare since I was 18. I have worked for meadow view for nearly 4 years now. I have worked with all the different ages since being at meadow view. I started in the baby then moved to 2-3 and now in preschool. I have two children of my own which is most of my social life. We enjoy going out for new walks, going to museums and going on adventures. I also enjoy going out with my close friends which I have known my whole life to socialize.
