The Review Score of 5 (maximum of 10) for Elms Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 2 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Elms Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0 out of 5 from 0 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 4.958 for Elms Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958
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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elms Day Nursery is based on 0 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
0 = 0
Target of 22.8 positive Reviews (114 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 0 Reviews ÷ 22.8 Target = 0

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Sarah B (Mother of Child) on Monday 9 November 2015. Relates to October 2015.
I have two children at The Elms and could not be happier with it. The girls both clearly love it there and love all the practitioners. In particular my eldest, has recently gone through a very clingy phase and the staff dealt with this brilliantly - both ensuring she was happy and reassuring me. When we are on holiday they both talk about nursery lots - I think this is a sign they like it! The nursery itself is clean and welcoming. The outside space, whilst not huge, is well kept and has lots of equipment. The forest school and the new sensory room are both added bonuses. I couldn't recommend The Elms more.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Catherine G (Mother of Child) on Tuesday 25 August 2015. Relates to August 2015.
Fantastic nursery that my child really enjoys attending. Good range of structured and child led activities, including baking, music and craft. Particularly like that there is plenty of outdoor space and a forest school also that the children sometimes visit. Good and varied lines of communication including facebook group. Child's progress is tracked in a learning journal and regular updates given via parents evening. We have used this nursery for about two half years and so far have nothing but praise for it.
