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 5 for Castle Nursery at Perryfields is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
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 3.119 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castle Nursery at Perryfields is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 8.4 positive Reviews (42 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 8.4 Target = 0.119

My son has been with Castle Nursery since July 2017. When we initially looked at Castle Nursery we felt at ease and comfortable. Staff are always kind, caring, humorous and know every detail about my child’s day.
The activities are educational and fun, my son is always excited for nursery.
I can’t thank the staff enough at Castle Nursery for the care and skills they give my child every day.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Elsa P (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 17 February 2016. Relates to February 2016.
The nursery has a wonderful friendly atmosphere, its clean, modern and well equipped. There is a separate outdoor play area for the baby room which is secure and has lots of great outdoor toys. I immediately felt much calmer about putting my son in nursery when I met the lovely staff they have time to listen to any concerns and really get to know your child. They put lots of time into making regular newsletter doing lovely displays with photo's and cover lots of topics at all age levels. They do lots of art projects with the babies, have light shows, music etc. Plus the foods great. There's always something to be involved in and help you as a parent feel included (parents evening, book week, baking for children in need etc.) I looked around many nurseries but instantly felt at home here and knew my baby would too.
