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 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.

Andy Pandy Day Nursery has been amazing with our daughter, it's like having an extra family (but I got to pick them lol) they have always been very helpful and caring. They helped with potty training and have been a big part of our daughter's development. She talks about nursery a lot and seems to be really happy there. Thank you to everyone at Andy Pandy's. You all work very hard but you're always smiling and welcoming.

My daughter first started at Andy Pandy's in June. I was very on edge to send her to another nursery as I had previous bad experiences with another nursery. When she first started with Andy Pandy's, to put it bluntly, she was a nightmare. She was scared because of her bad experience previously and I was so worried she'd never be able to settle at a nursery again. After a week she was like a different child.
She's always clean and very content. The baby room supervisor and one particular staff member did a brill job in settling her in. The baby room supervisor really took my daughter under her wing to make sure that despite her difficult start she could settle into nursery life. She has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn't be happier I now don't have to worry and feel guilty leaving her because I know she is in safe hands. It has the unique homely environment that you just wouldn't find anywhere else it's the perfect way to prep children for school without it being a daunting school sort of feel. Thank you for restoring my faith in day nurseries! :)

I dreaded sending my little boy to nursery, especially at such a young age (6 months) but he absolutely loves it and can't wait to get through the door and I'm sure that is because the staff are so friendly. He is an active little boy but he has come on even more since being at nursery. I am kept updated daily on how he has been and it is clear that they have got to know him so well. The nursery does their own cooking so I feel confident that he is being fed well and they have helped with weaning him. There is a nice outside play area which I am aware they regularly use and it has beautifully clean premises.

This is an absolutely brilliant nursery environment as the setting is a very home from home and the children are easily able to settle and become comfortable. The Manager and the team are very caring and attentive to the children. There are a wide range of activities carried out daily at the Nursery and I am extremely happy with the speech and social development which is encouraged. I would highly recommend this nursery in every way and feel happy that it will give my child a good start on her educational journey. Thank you.
