Review from Jazmyn (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Flying Start since she was one and is now in the toddler room. She loves going into the nursery and the staff all make so much effort to make sure she is happy if she's having a bad day. The room always looks fun and exciting and something always manages to catch her eye
first thing in the morning making drop offs super easy! Everyday she learns something new and is always making new friends!

Fantastic staff, lots of varied activities each day for children. Safe outdoor area. Brilliant lunch meal provided.
Has a lovely family feel. The Christmas fair and fun days that they put on are great fun and really involve the parents.
My children love it!

Review from KB (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started in June and has settled into this nursery extremely well.


Day by day I notice advancements in their development. Each member of staff makes a real effort to help each child's development and regularly checks whether you have any concerns. When you collect your child you are updated

on their daily activities, which is substantial due to the extensive facilities and resources available.


The whole nursery has a relaxed and happy vibe, and when I collect my child they are always happy and smiling. I am confident in the knowledge that my child is receiving excellent care. It's not just the place but the kind and friendly people that make Marjon Flying Start a wonderful place to take your child for daycare.

My daughter attends Flying Start Marjon, she loves it there, she enjoys all the activities they put out everyday and loves the staff in the toddler room. The building is very well presented and always looks clean and tidy.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.953)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.953) out of 10 for Flying Start @ Marjon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.953 for Flying Start @ Marjon is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.953
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Flying Start @ Marjon is based on 16 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
