What a journey, thank you for your beautifully detailed review! Watching your daughter grow from a baby to a confident 4-year-old has been such a privilege. It's wonderful to hear how supported you felt through every stage, from breastfeeding and allergies to bilingual development and picky eating. Our team takes great pride in fostering a caring, respectful, and educational environment, so your kind words mean the world. We'll miss you both dearly, but we're so excited to see your little one flourish in her next chapter. Thank you for being part of our Potters Bar family!

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Little Garden The Potters Bar Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Head Start Potters Bar) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.899 for Little Garden The Potters Bar Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Head Start Potters Bar) is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.899
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 Little Garden The Potters Bar Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Head Start Potters Bar) is based on 14 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
