Review from Claire P (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really lovely & friendly team, even carers who don't work with my son are always happy to see us and are very welcoming.


The staff member in the office has been our main point of contact and has been extremely kind and helpful, with nothing too much trouble.


Our key worker is really great at keeping

us informed and ensuring our son is happy and the nursery in general seems very well run.


Our son seems very settled and happy so we couldn't ask for more.

Review from Emma H (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest daughter attended Silks Farm so when the time came for my youngest daughter to attend nursery there was going to be no better place. The settling in period is well thought out and catered to the individual child, the staff are all excellent and I feel completely happy dropping my daughter
off with any member of the team. The variety of food my children experience is wonderful, and well the things they get up to during the day is fantastic, if only I could stay there for the day.


All in all a wonderful nursery, in a countryside setting with an amazing team of staff.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.849)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.849) out of 10 for Silks Farm Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 8 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 4.811 for Silks Farm Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.811
  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 4.038 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Silks Farm Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 103 number of registered child places is 20.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.6 = 0.388
  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.
