Review from Hayley S (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant nursery. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here 2 years ago. He loves going to nursery and is always learning something new. The staff are all excellent and always keep you updated with everything. The learning journal online is fantastic so you can keep up to date on what
your child is doing at nursery and you can also upload your own pictures too which is a good idea.
I would highly recommend this nursery!

Our son has been going to this nursery since he was 16 months, the staff are all very lovely, what we like the most is every member of staff personally knows our son as it's not a crowded nursery, we feel assured that our son is very well looked after whilst in their care.

Review from Julie C (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the care my son gets when he goes to nursery. Going back to work is a hard decision for any parent but knowing that he is happy and cared for makes it a lot easier for me to go to work after having 9 mths off. My daughter also attended the nursery from 18 mths and thrived from day
1 although she had an unsettled start, but the kindness of all the staff helped her settle. A brilliant home from home setting and a warm feeling.

An amazing place, true home from home. My little one has been attending since he was one and we are sad to leave now he moved onto school. The staff have been amazing in helping him grow and learn. They will happily adapt to the child’s needs making it a great experience for both me and my son.

My daughter has been going to Charnwood Day since she was one. Personally, I have found her care amazing. The staff have become friends and genuinely care for the children they look after. Any concerns are dealt with in a professional and prompt manner. The children get to do a wide range of activities
and love their time there.

Review from H R (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended here since she was around 8 months old. She's now in the preschool. She's always been very happy here and transitions between baby room, nursery room and pre-school have been managed with thought and care. Staff are kind and friendly. Any little niggles have been quickly addressed.
She takes part in a wide variety of activities and always comes home shattered but happy!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for Charnwood Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.744 for Charnwood Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.744
  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 Charnwood Day Nursery is based on 15 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 15 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.
