Review from S E (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I had my own personal issues going on at the time and the nursery, the owner especially, was completely and utterly unsupportive, and gave dangerous/unsafe entry into the building. Mealtimes didn’t appear to be sufficiently monitored as on numerous occasions they came home with a full lunchbox or someone
else’s things in the bag which isn’t good practice with food allergies. My child also came home with stickers on their back with their name, even after attending for 18 months, the staff responsible for each group was constantly changing. I fully understand the reasons behind the latest Ofsted report and would agree with the points they have raised, you especially can’t let small people climb an outside fire escape as an entry point.

I think in this nursery my children have had excellent care. The staff are the best and so are the managers. My oldest child finished this year and he learned a lot and is ready for school. He likes to come back when we pick up his sister. Very good nursery, I can happily recommend this nursery to my
friends.

Our daughter loves attending nursery, the staff are friendly and always happy to answer any questions. Activities are great and there's lots for children to do. There is a daily walk to the park across the road as well as lots of outside space at the nursery itself. Staff have been incredibly supportive
during the tricky toilet training phase! I would highly recommend Parkside to any parents looking for childcare.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside 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 83 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 81 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 4.907 for ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside is calculated as follows: ( (942 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 992 Ratings = 4.907
  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 ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside is based on 81 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 81 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.
