Review from Amy M (Mother of Child) published on 24 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
There have been a lot of changes at this pre-school.
However, after taking a 10 week holiday, my son settled back in really well.
The agency staff seem to have been replaced with a permanent team and they have made my son feel involved and grow. He is really happy at this pre-school.

Review from Polly R (Mother of Child) published on 24 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has really grown in confidence since joining. Staff supported her adapting to pre-school and she's gone from being shy to the chatterbox we know from home. Staff are all friendly and welcoming and lets us know about her day. Her experiences here will have prepared her well for school. Thank
you.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.851) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Downend (Downend Road) 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.783 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Downend (Downend Road) is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.783
  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 4.068 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Downend (Downend Road) is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.568
  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.
