The Review Score of 9.2 (maximum of 10) for Treetops Tewkesbury (Gloucester) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Treetops Tewkesbury (Gloucester) in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.694 for Treetops Tewkesbury (Gloucester) is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.694
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.536 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Treetops Tewkesbury (Gloucester) is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 11.2 positive Reviews (56 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 11.2 Target = 0.536
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

The staff at treetops are fantastic - I cannot fault any of the individuals who have been involved in my daughters care. They're so understanding of little ones who struggle to settle and treat each child as an individual. I'm so glad we took the decision to start my daughter at Treetops and wish we'd done it sooner, she's come on leaps and bounds in confidence since starting.

Treetops nursery is a lovely nursery for babies. The staff are excellent and the environment is just the right size for them to explore safely. They really care about the children and try very hard to give them a good range of activities/stimuli. The food is really great and my little boy enjoys and eats all of it. I am really happy with the care.

Standards at nursery have improved immensely. From communication with parents to staff knowledge, friendliness and overall management. I feel very confident leaving my child in their care, knowing he will have an activity-filled and fun-filled day. Learning and being very well looked after.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Rosie C (Mother of Child) on Monday 19 October 2015. Relates to September 2015.
My daughter started attending Treetops in September this year. The staff are lovely and willing to help you out with any changes you need to make to the hours your child attends. My daughter is currently in Clever Crocs room and every single member of staff is approachable. I do feel that I can talk to anybody about any issues that I may have had (which is very very rare!) but when they do occur they are entirely taken on board and genuinely cared about by the members of staff in the room.
My daughter enjoys attending treetops and she's always coming home having learnt something new. What I really love about the staff members, is that they're not afraid to give your child a genuine hug!! My daughter is a cuddly little girl and loves invading personal space...!! From what i've seen, none of the staff mind this at all.
She's very very happy at Treetops and I will be sad to send her on to school next September! I know for a fact that she is getting the best preparation at the moment to prepare her for Reception class.
