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 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.

My son has been going to Tudor House since he was 8 months old. He is now nearly 4 and thriving. He loves his time at nursery and is coming on in leaps and bounds. All the staff are amazing and have a great bond/relationship with him. They have helped me in many ways with good advice and kept my son's routine. I love the nursery and can't wait for my daughter to start her journey at Tudor House in November.

I think the nursery is lovely and the staff are great. It would be nice if the Tapestry updates would be more frequent.

Carole-Anne Benson, Manager at Tudor House Montessori Nursery responded to this review on 10 May 2017:
We are still new with tapestry and observations are being posted each week now. We feel Tudor house offers very good value for money, our full time hourly rate is only £4.20 an hour for our three year olds. Thank you very much for your positive comments about the nursery.

Fantastic nursery. Great staff who are always so welcoming and helpful. My children love going and have developed in confidence considerably. We've made some lovely friendships and I've been really impressed with the preparation they have done with phonics and number work to get my daughter ready for primary school.
