Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so happy with the care our daughter receives. She started when she was 8 months old and watching her development since she started has been wonderful. The activities she does every day are stimulating, and she eats all the food provided (which she doesn’t do at home!). She loves all the staff
and constantly asks for them when we’re at home. This nursery is a little out of the way for us but we wouldn’t dream of moving her, because she loves it so much.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter is happy and settled and comes home telling me all the things she has done. Recent staff changes have left her a little unsettled but all staff seem caring and understanding.
Hopefully the Forest school will be used more now the gate has been fixed and I look forward to seeing what the
summer weather brings.

Review from J W (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter enjoys nursery. We have kept her at Wellesbourne despite moving a 30-minute drive away as she is so settled. She learns new things at an incredible rate. There has been a high turnover of staff since we have been at the nursery which is sometimes difficult to explain to her. It would be
nice to have more frequent observations recorded and regular parents evenings,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy recently graduated from Seedlings to attend big school! What a day! They had a little ceremony and wore caps! I had a tear in my eye as it was a sad day as well as a special day! My son started when he was just 11 months back in 2012. What a fabulous journey he has had! He has learnt so
much, made wonderful friends and loved the staff. He was very happy at Seedlings!

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Wellesbourne is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.941 for The Old Station Nursery Wellesbourne is calculated as follows: ( (509 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 538 Ratings = 4.941
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Wellesbourne is based on 45 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 45 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
