Thank you for providing this insight from a parent perspective, I know the team and prospective parents will really value the feedback you have given. Best wishes

Thank you so much for your wonderfully detailed review. It is so nice to hear that your experience of the nursery has been so positive. We are extremely proud of the outdoor space we have and how it lends itself to so many learning opportunities for the children all year round. The staff work very hard to ensure each individual child's interests are taken into consideration alongside what their next steps in their learning are when they plan activities. This supports children to engage and progress in their development. It is so important to us that children feel safe and secure. We know they learn best when they do! A huge part of this is down to the dedicated staff who are compassionate and care deeply about the children and the families they support. I will ensure they receive your feedback, I know it will be appreciated. Best wishes

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Yew Trees Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.957 for Yew Trees Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (426 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 444 Ratings = 4.957
b) 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 Yew Trees Nursery is based on 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
