Review from Joanna H (Guardian of Child) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandaughter, who was already a bright and confident child, has blossomed during her first year. Her language skills have really advanced to the point at which other adults comment on her vocabulary. She loves attending and asks why she can't go in the school holidays. The staff in both rooms know
each child really well and are always ready to listen to and pass on information. They are sensitive to a child's individual circumstances and needs.
It is unfortunate that the nursery ceased to accept Early Years funding, but the decision to allow my grandaughter to continue here anyway was not difficult given the her progress and the obvious benefits to her.

Review from Naomi W (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't ask for a better environment or set of practitioners to care for him. He has grown into such a confident, independent and bright little boy. He takes part in a varied range of activities and appears to thrive in the Montessori class environment. He amazes us with the sheer amount of knowledge
and facts he comes home with. They run Forest school sessions which my son adores, his love of the great outdoors has just been intensified by this fantastic opportunity. Their online learning journey is fantastic and gives such a valuable insight into his fun-filled days. I love the fact that I can contribute to this from home also. If you want a nurturing enabling nursery environment for your child to attend where they can feel safe, valued and respected as individuals then Brookes is for you. Your child will grow in independence and be given endless opportunities to follow their curiosities and be taught key skills for life.

Review from Gemma P (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brookes Cambridge Nursery is a really lovely, safe, creative, calm, and nurturing environment for my child to grow and develop in. He has been attending this nursery for 2 full days a week since he was 1 and is just about to turn 3. My son has benefited from the small class sizes and the Montessori
way of learning. He loves all the outside space at the nursery and really enjoys forest school, yoga and French.
The staff are really friendly and attentive to both the children’s and parents needs. It is clear to see the nursery manager genuinely cares about the children (who adore her) and is committed to her job. She is is a total asset to the nursery. My son has dairy and multiple food allergies and the nursery and catering staff go out of their way to accommodate his needs and to ensure he feels included in special events.

The nursery staff are wonderful. My child loves going to school because he enjoys the variety of learning resources and feels genuinely cared for by the staff members. His unique strengths are used to facilitate learning and exploring.

Review from Kelly K (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my boys have attended the Brookes Cambridge Nursery over the last 5 years. The staff at the nursery are outstanding and they work so well together as a team. I always feel rest assured that my children are cared for to a standard I would expect at home. They provide amazing conditions with
a huge range of activities including a forest school which is much loved by all the children.
I have no worries in saying that my child is fed nutritious food and never comes home hungry. The Montessori environment means that my child can express himself and learn in a way far beyond the classroom. The facilities are well laid out and there is an abundance of equipment and areas for the children to play with. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Nursery to any future parent.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.515)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.515) out of 10 for Colourbox - Cherry Trees is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 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 4.936 for Colourbox - Cherry Trees is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.936
  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 4.579 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Colourbox - Cherry Trees is based on 17 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.654
  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.
