Review from Maria V (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter previously had an unpleasant nursery experience at another establishment, I was really worried about her settling in at Marlborough and expressed my concerns. From her very first settling in session my daughter was so well cared for. All the girls at Marlborough have been genuinely caring
and attentive toward her and she now talks about nursery in a positive way. I'd have no hesitation recommending Marlborough Day Nursery to friends and family. It's truly fabulous!

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Marlborough Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 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 4.983 for Marlborough Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.983
  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 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marlborough Day Nursery is based on 24 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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 24 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.923
  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.

Job Title: Joint Officer in Charge Joined: 2012

I have over 20 years’ experience in early years; a career that I am very passionate about. Marlborough is where I trained and qualified and it just feels like home! After a 2-year break, I rejoined the team in 2012 to take on the role of Officer in Charge alongside Lisa. Together, we lead a professional team of dedicated practitioners, who share our passion in providing the very best outcomes for the children in our care.

Job Title: Joint Officer in Charge Joined: 1999

I began my early years career in 1999, starting with the company as a trainee straight out of school! In addition to my early years qualifications, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience which enabled me to progress to Officer in Charge in 2010. Children thrive from strong relationships and knowledgeable adults who can really tune into their individual needs; I believe our small group approach really does facilitate this!

I began working at Marlborough in 2009 as a trainee. Since then I have not only progressed in my roles up to Deputy Officer in Charge, but have also gained a number of early years qualifications from NVQ level 2 and 3 right up to Level 7. A particular highlight is achieving my Early Years Teacher (EYT) status. My passion is working with 3 years plus, preparing them for their next journey in education, through challenging activities and opportunities whilst using my knowledge and experience to nurture each child based on their individual needs and development.

Job Title: Senior Nursery Officer – Head of Toddlers Joined: 2016

I started working at Marlborough Day Nursery in 2016 as a student. Within my 7 years here, I have gained my early years level 3 qualification, taken on room leader roles and progressed into a senior management role. I have experience within all ages of the nursery, and a great passion to support the children with their holistic needs and development. I believe that every child is unique and the reason I love my job is that I get to help each one discover their own strengths and talents and nurture those traits through my educational approach.
