Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy attends 2 full days per week, he is currently in the Explorers room (babies). The staff are fabulous, with over 20 years combined service at the nursery I was extremely confident that he was in good hands. They are very attentive to all of his care needs and to mine as a parent also. As
an early years teacher I am really impressed with the educational experiences he is exposed to, his electronic learning journal allows me access to his nursery day from my iphone and I can keep in regular touch with his key person about any new learning moments! We shared his first steps together and they supported him in gaining his confidence! Now there's no stopping him! The room is set out lovely with beautiful wooden furniture. It is clean and safe. They have a wonderful covered outdoor area which is a little decked area and then a grassed area with toys and equipment for physical development. There's also a sleep room and he loves falling asleep to the classical music we play at home!
I couldn't ask for any better and soon he's moving to the next room...I can't wait!

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.370)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.370) out of 10 for Footsteps Atherstone Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Footsteps Atherstone Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.453 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Footsteps Atherstone Nursery & Pre-School is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.203
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
