Review from Jasmine D (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Children love it at Pennypot. They always have a good time but what they didn't realise is that they are learning all the time through play. Food is good and healthy, all cooked onsite and that's what we like about it too. All meals comes with dessert and all breakfast is accompanied with fruit. It's
reassuring for us to know they eat well as that is important for us.

Review from Debbie C (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My boys have attended Pennypot since they were 1 year for my first and 10 months for my second. I have felt that Pennypot was a very big part of my life for the past 6 years. My second son graduated (lovely!) last week and with great sadness we all said goodbye. As a teaching and learning leader for
KS1, I cannot speak highly enough for the care and learning opportunities that the nursery provides. My boys have had the very best start to their education and a lot of fun along the way. I have had a few occasions where they have cried going in and NEVER left the premises unhappy. Having watched on the screen in the office I have seen how soon the tears stopped - no more than 10 occasions for both children in 6 years! The staff are great, SO happy with every part of the day, food is great, facilities/ resources excellent.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) out of 10 for Pennypot Day Nursery (Chobham) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.971 for Pennypot Day Nursery (Chobham) is calculated as follows: ( (303 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.971
  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 Pennypot Day Nursery (Chobham) is based on 26 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 116 number of registered child places is 23.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
