The Review Score of 8.9 (maximum of 10) for Wellingborough Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Wellingborough Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 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 4.775 for Wellingborough Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 356 Ratings = 4.775
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 4.078 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wellingborough Day Nursery is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 12.2 positive Reviews (61 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 12.2 Target = 0.328
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Wellingborough Day Nursery has a Review Score of 8.9 (8.853)

My son only attends 1 half day a week but the change in his confidence and how well he is developing is a testament to how well the nursery is run, and the hard work from all the staff. Very pleased with all aspects and looking forward to my son attending more regularly.

Staff very friendly and always working with parents or carers to ensure the children's needs are always met. My children love going to nursery and look forward to seeing the staff and their friends. The children are always doing different activities inside and out, messy play to imaginative play, always different things to do and my children always look forward to a new day there. The manager is always there to listen and help with any concerns.

My son has attended Wellingborough Day Nursery since he was 12 weeks old. He is now 33 months and he loves all the different activities the nursery set daily, and the little outings they take. The staff are so welcoming and always go that extra mile to help with the children from potty training, settling them in and feeling welcome to helping with behaviour changes by rewarding good behaviour with smiley charts. I personally wouldn't chase any other nursery. Overall my experience and my son's has been great.

Overall we are happy with the service provided by Wellingborough Day Nursery. Our daughter has been attending their nursery for 2yrs and seems to be happy and progressing well in her developmental stages. She has been well looked after, natured to achieve her full potential. Staff are friendly and patient which is an essential aspect in forging long trusting relationships thereby creating a good environment to develop.

What can I say? My little girl started at the nursery back in September 2016 (9 months old) and six months on I can't believe the difference in her. She is so much more confident and the staff have done an amazing job. All very approachable, friendly and prompt to answer questions.
I feel very happy knowing that my little girl is content and safe when I'm at work. Great job.

My daughter attends nursery here and really loves it. She is so grown up and always comes home smiling and I can't thank the nursery enough for what they do. My daughter learns new things every day, and that's down to all the lovely staff I have met at this nursery.
I would really recommend this nursery to anyone who is searching for the right one.

My grandson has attended Wellingborough Day Nursery full time for a little over a year having originally begun with 2 days per week. I collect him most evenings and he is always happy and clearly, has a great time whilst there. His personal development has been fantastic to watch, with the nursery providing daily activities that make learning fun for him. His social and communication skills are excellent, they provide him with an understanding of how to behave as part of a group, and on a one to one basis supporting his mum's efforts. The nursery provides a wide variety of meals with a great balanced menu. The manageress and her team are outstanding, his key worker deserving particular praise for the guidance she gives him, and has played a large part in his development and always provides comprehensive feedback each day.

The nursery is a brilliant place to bring your children, my oldest daughter came here since she's been two and now she's gone to primary school, my youngest has now joined as soon as she turned two, the nursery has helped both my daughters exceed everything in life ready for my oldest to start big girl school, both my daughters have thoroughly enjoyed coming that we also paid a further day for my oldest, in the short space of time that they have had my youngest she has come out of her shell and is coming on with speech and socialising with different children and adults, she is also developing relationships with the staff and the other children, they help and support the parents and I would thoroughly recommend this nursery I would never put my children anywhere else.

An absolutely amazing nursery, I used them previously with my older children and wouldn't go anywhere else for my baby, the staff are all lovely and polite and instantly make you feel welcome. The standard of care for the children is outstanding and the food options are great. The children's activities that they plan are brilliant and changes each week to keep the children happy and entertained. My daughter is really happy and is enjoying making lots of friends and gets on very well with all staff. The nursery is very clean and the fees are very good. The best nursery in Wellingborough by far!

I like the fact that the nursery is open during school holidays so I can still take my bigger kids out to do activities that may not be suitable for the smaller ones. I find the staff to be very friendly and approachable.

Our daughter has attended the nursery for 7 months and really enjoys her time here. She does lots of creative play bringing home artwork most weeks. She enjoys the freshly cooked meals and snacks. We feel she has come a long way in a short space of time. The staff are very friendly and we are glad we chose this nursery.

When I came to first view Wellingborough Day Nursery for my son we were very well welcomed and felt comfortable with the nursery and the teachers that would be round my child. He also settled in well and due to circumstances that me and my child were going through they helped and I have seen a massive change in my son for the better with the help that Wellingborough Day Nursery have given, so I would highly recommend the nursery to friends and family.

My son really loves coming to nursery , I have already recommended Wellingborough Day Nursery to a few friends. I love that he is trying new food, and I think the menu is brilliant. I really like the new Tapestry online updates, you have taken some great photos and gone very in depth in writing what he has said and done. The staff have always been very friendly and kept me updated on what's been going on each day my son attends.

I'm happy with the care my son receives when at nursery. All the staff are very helpful and good with feedback, since he has come to nursery his development has really come on well. My son has an allergy and the procedure that is put in place is to a very high standard and puts my mind at ease, I have also never had any issues.

My son has been in this Day nursery since September 2014. His social skills and vocal ability has come on leaps and bounds as when he began my son was limited on both areas but now is thriving. He has learnt colours and can count to 10 with no help and to 20 with assistance. His eating habits are getting better too with the help of a sticker reward chart introduced by staff so now is trying new things. He has good relationship with all staff and so do we. They make every parent feel welcome and confident that our children are in a fun but safe learning environment. My son is always excited for his sessions. I recommend this nursery as I feel it works to the highest standard.

I have really enjoyed sending our little boy to Wellingborough Day Nursery. Since he joined the staff have helped him develop with his speech as well as self independence such as putting shoes on, going to the toilet. The staff are very welcoming in the morning which gives us such confidence leaving our son there for the day. I cannot fault any of the services or staff. I would definitely recommend to anybody.
