I have been happy with my experience of Rushden Kids Club. All of the staff have been fantastic, really supportive and caring towards my daughter. It has been wonderful to see how she has really grown in confidence since she started and has developed better in language and physical skills. The environment
is great for the children and I really like that the nursery really cares about the environment and tries to reduce its impact.

My children have settled in very well and really enjoy coming to Kids Club. They don't always feel comfortable in settings away from home. They have made some lovely friends and have made some great connections with the staff.

Kids Club were very quick to respond to an email asking if they could accommodate my son at short notice. He has had a great time every day that he has attended. They have lots of play equipment and the staff are very efficient and friendly, whilst still maintaining rules and structure.

My son used the Kids Club once a week during the summer holidays. There was always something exciting happening that he would talk about for days afterwards. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be using the Kids Club again in future school holidays.

My boys both enjoy coming here and are always excited when I pick them up, overexcited from the fun they have had. Staff are very friendly and wonderful with both my boys. Sending my boys here whilst I have had to go to work has been a massive help and will be most definitely be sending them again.

Overall the nursery is as described when we came to look around. Staff are very friendly and nice, even the office staff. My little one really likes them which shows they are nice to her. Also, we like that they try to be environmentally friendly.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.103)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.103) out of 10 for Blossoms Day Nursery and The Hive 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.875 for Blossoms Day Nursery and The Hive is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875
  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 3.228 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossoms Day Nursery and The Hive is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.103
  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.
