The Review Score of 7 (maximum of 10) for Jelly Beans Pre-School Day Nursery 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 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Jelly Beans Pre-School Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.1 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no 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 4.867 for Jelly Beans Pre-School Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.867
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 2.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jelly Beans Pre-School Day Nursery is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 20 positive Reviews (100 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 20 Target = 0.250 , then divided by 2 = 0.125
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Couldn't recommend this nursery more! It has really upped its game over the past 6 months and you can really see the difference. The Staff genuinely care about the jobs and their environment and that makes such a huge difference.

The nursery is such a lovely place for the children. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Children are always cared for extremely well and I know my nephew is always happy when he comes home. I have looked in his learning folder and it is really nice to see all the pictures, I like the nursery has been refurbished and looks new. I really like Jelly Beans and I recommend to anyone who has children.

Jellybeans is a kind, friendly and welcoming nursery who genuinely cares about every child as individuals. The staff are all approachable and caring to the children making it a fun and happy place to be. They have a variety of home cooked meals every day cooked by an excellent chef. Jellybeans runs lots of activities, music, fun time and has a lovely library for the children too.

I would just like to say how thrilled I am with the Nursery. There have been so many improvements, both cosmetically and internally with staff training and the difference is amazing. The team form such fantastic bonds with the children that I would be more than happy to recommend Jelly Beans to other parents in the area.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Nicola J (Mother of Child) on Tuesday 14 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
All of the staff are very caring of every child and that is priceless - number 1 in my book.
My son has loved being here from 6 months old now 2. He plays and learns so much from the other children and all the activities they get to do. I am informed every day of the good and bad actions my son has done during the day. I miss my son while I'm at work but I know he is in very safe hands.
The freshen up that has happened is lovely and the staff have put their own efforts to make it look fun and bright.
The food is amazing such a variety of food, my son eats everything. It's made to high standards with homemade biscuits show such love from the cooks..
Polite, honest, caring and cuddles all have helped me feel happy to leave my son. Very happy to recommend this nursery to any mum.
