Review from Ivana M (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Car park has been untouched for over 1 year - filthy. Cobwebs near ceiling inside the nursery has got hundreds of dead flies trapped in them. Children not dressed properly on a number of occasions when going out in cold months. Lack of care (help with going to the toilet, thirst,...) I don't agree with
foam and flour games (what does that teach kids apart from ruining their clothes we had to pay for?) Overall our child likes the nursery and that is what matters to him but value for money is non-existent.

Review from Andrew C (Father of Child) published on 14 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my daughters have attend this nursery since they were 7 months and they love coming, so much so sometimes they don't want to go. The staff are friendly and committed to ensuring my children stay safe, progress in learning and development and are happy. I am very happy with the standard of care
they receive whilst having fun and learning.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.393)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.393) out of 10 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Fishponds) 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.915 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Fishponds) is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.915
  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 4.478 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Fishponds) is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 45 number of registered child places is 9. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.778
  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.
