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 4.9 for Edenhurst Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.9
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 4.391 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edenhurst Nursery is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 12.8 positive Reviews (64 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 12.8 Target = 0.391

We are very satisfied with the level of service we have received by Edenhurst. We really would recommend sending children to this nursery. Both our children have attended and we feel they benefited from this when they started school.
The nursery have always been accommodating and flexible when our working hours have changed. The staff are always pleasant and seem to have the child's best intentions in their hearts.

My son is extremely happy to arrive at nursery, and is easily left. I cannot walk away from him in any other setting (i.e. With family) without tears.
When I collect him he appears content. He is always clean at the end of the day, clothes not stained and I have never had issues with a sore bottom.
He appears to eat well also.
The staff are all welcoming and seem familiar with my son even if they do not work in his room.

My daughter absolutely loves the nursery. She's made brilliant progress whilst she has been there. I'm kept updated every day on what she's done that day and weekly on what she's learning the following week. We get regular reviews of her progress against the EYFS curriculum. An outstanding nursery with caring, friendly, compassionate and professional staff who are helping my child become a confident, happy and clever little girl.

My daughter joined Edenhurst Nursery in October 2016 at 18 months old having previously attended a different nursery. Despite me being extremely anxious about moving her, she has settled in extremely well and loves her new friends and carers. The Nursery is modern and purpose built, and has a lovely outdoor play area. It is also relatively small, so my daughter gets lots of 1-2-1 attention and I really like that the Nursery emails parents every Friday afternoon with a weekly planner which shows what activities she will be doing the following week. The staff are all lovely and knowing my daughter is being well loved after while I am at work gives me great peace of mind. I'd highly recommend the Nursery to anyone looking for a caring, friendly and educational setting for their child.
