The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Wonderland Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Wonderland Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.799 for Wonderland Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.799
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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wonderland Day Nursery is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 20 positive Reviews (100 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 15 Reviews ÷ 20 Target = 0.750
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My daughter has been attending Wonderland since she was 10 months old and she is now 4 years old.
I am so pleased with her progression in terms of her speech, numeracy and literacy development.
All the staff are very welcoming and seem to really care about the children.
It is also clearly displayed what activities the children have done throughout the day and also the food they have eaten.

My son has loved this nursery since he has been here and so has his father and me.
I cannot fault them at all.
There's always a wide variety of activities and meal choices available.
My son has come on so much from being here.
The staff are always friendly, you are always greeted with a smile and they do their best to help you and answer any questions.
Highly recommended!

It is very good when it comes to the staff, they are very polite and understanding, however, the fees are very expensive.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Jazmeen H (Mother of Child) on Friday 24 November 2017. Relates to November 2017.
Wonderland is very lovely nursery. My daughter started there when she was 7 months and left when she was nearly 5. Over the years since being at the nursery, she has gained a lot of confidence, made good relationships with the staff and she has been given a good head start before starting school. Wonderland is the best nursery in Wednesbury and I’m glad my daughter came to wonderland knowing what she knows for her age goes down to the nursery and the staff and the great training they are given. I’m a very proud mom.

My daughter started at 15 months old and left in July to go to school nursery in September. My daughter was so happy to come to nursery and loved telling me about her day when i picked her up from nursery. The staff are all amazing and they all do a really good job.

My daughter joined Wonderland Day Nursery when she was 9 months old. She was well looked after by the team and nicely settled in. Today, looking back, I know it was the best choice for her. I am so glad that I picked Wonderland Day Nursery as not only the staff are nice and friendly but also the way my child developed the confidence etc was heartwarming. It was rather hard to leave them in the end.

Wonderland is a fantastic nursery. My son really enjoyed his time here. He developed so much in such a short time and it's all thanks to the staff. He was very shy and refused to talk to anyone which all changed quickly. The staff are really supportive and we can't thank them enough.

My daughter joined Wonderland Day Nursery when she was 5 months old. Since then she has grown so much. She started walking, talking, counting very fast.
She has developed very well and she is very good with other people and children. I am very happy we chosen Wonderland Day Nursery.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sarah (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 15 November 2017. Relates to August 2017.
My son attended Wonderland Day Nursery from 10 months old until he turned 3. The staff are fantastic and his progress during his time there was above and beyond. His progress was well documented with a "learning journey" folder (including pictures) which we got to keep. There is a great family feeling at the nursery. I would definitely recommend this nursery and would consider using again in the future.
