Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery has provided the perfect nurturing environment for both of my eldest children, from nine months through to three years. The staff are excellent, build strong relationships with the children and encourage them to meet developmental milestones. The use of the app to show
us pictures of them at nursery and keep us up to date with their progress is really good. The kids love all the different activities that they wouldn’t experience elsewhere and we couldn’t be happier with our experience as a family.

My daughter is very happy at Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. She skips into nursery each day and when she went through a clingy phase, one staff member instantly solved tears at drop off by encouraging her to help with a simple activity. She comes home in a great mood, full of stories about her day
and what they've been doing. Lots of outdoor time, which is great! The staff are so supportive; happy to answer any questions about her day and give advice when requested!

Really good nursery and the staff are lovely and go above and beyond for your child. My son never settled in any nursery until I put him into this one. Three years later, he is so comfortable with this nursery; I really don’t want him to go to school.

The girls are very welcoming, they always take the time to inform me of the new things my children have been doing and really seem to care about them also, which is paramount to me. There is always a variety of activities to keep them busy and have big smiles at the end of the day.

My daughter has special educational needs and the nursery have been absolutely incredible with their support and care of her. They have been like family to us. They are always responsive, communicative and helpful with her specific needs. The staff always go above and beyond their basic responsibilities
to ensure my daughter is supported and encouraged in her nursery education. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a family-centred environment for their child.

Staff are great and both my children have loved nursery. It could do with some investments in the garden/outdoor space, and we are pleased to hear forestry school will return this year. Overall very pleased we chose this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.723)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.723) out of 10 for Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 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 4.928 for Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.928
  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 4.795 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery is based on 14 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.795
  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.
