Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've had a very positive experience with Serendipitys nursery. The staff takes excellent care of the children and provided warm, personal attention. Since my daughter started attending I've noticed tremendous improvement - she has become more confident and independent.
I am truly happy with the nurturing
environment they provide and would highly recommend Serendipity to other parents.

We have been using Serendipitys for six years now and are more than happy with the part the nursery has played in helping to raise our children. The staff are great, we have complete confidence in the manager. The children do lots of activities including walks to the town park and french lessons. The
building has a lovely calm, safe feel to is and whilst the the outside space isn't large, it is used imaginatively. We woulddefinetly recommend Serendipitys.

The manager and the toddler room staff have been supportive and welcoming to myself and little girl. It was incredibly important to us to find the right placement for her to find somewhere homely, comforting and supportive of her likes and learning abilities and Serendipitys has all those qualities.
She is developing her confidence and skills everytime she attends a session.

Cannot praise Serendipity Grantham and the staff who work there enough. The care and love for our child is clear to see. Staff go above and beyond to support him and us.
My child is always happy to go to nursery and loves spending time there. There are lots of activities that the children take part
in, and discussions and observations of different days and celebrations. The food always sounds excellent, my child has a good range and it's great to know he's had a healthy lunch and tea before coming home.
My child has always been happy here, from baby room, to toddlers and now pre school and that makes for happy child and happy parents!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Grantham 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 5.000 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Grantham is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 5
  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 Serendipitys Day Nursery Grantham is based on 26 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 26 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.
