The Review Score of 7 (maximum of 10) for Old Rectory Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Old Rectory Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 3.944 for Old Rectory Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 3.944
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Old Rectory Day Nursery is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 12 positive Reviews (60 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 12 Target = 0.083
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

I'd highly recommend the Old Rectory Day Nursery, I looked at a few when choosing somewhere for my daughter, and I 100% chose the right one, I feel comfortable leaving her there whilst I go to work, I'm kept up to date with whats going on, and the skills that she is learning is fantastic, she really enjoys going to nursery and every member of staff has been very welcoming towards myself and my daughter. The food is cooked on site, all the toys both inside and out are kept very clean, and the level of security at this nursery is far better than I've seen elsewhere.

Our third child is currently attending the Old Rectory following in her 2 sibling’s footsteps. I only have positive comments about the nursery and their staff.
My oldest daughter who is 10 now still speaks to staff that were there when she attended, something that I think is rare in Nursery settings.
The facilities are fantastic with dedicated outside play areas for both the younger and older children.
The toys are always looked after and cleaned and the grounds are huge with a gated driveway.
Having looked at the other review on here I can’t believe that any of it is true.
The fees are very competitive and the Nursery has an outstanding Ofsted rating and it is fully deserved in my opinion.
Trips are a regular thing in the Nursery mini bus. They offer swimming lessons at a local pool as well.
All of my children have enjoyed attending the Old Rectory and it has set them in good stead for starting school.

We visited this nursery with our daughter to find a child wandering around alone, due to the gate being left open (twice). In the small room they had 18 children and only 3 adults. Upstairs they have a big light that has smashed, it has broken glass in the shade above playing children. We would not feel safe leaving our child here.
