The Review Score of 9.6 (maximum of 10) for Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) 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 27 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.833 for Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.833
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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 15 positive Reviews (75 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 12 Reviews ÷ 15 Target = 0.800
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.633)

Have been using the nursery for over a year. Have found the staff extremely empathetic and helpful both to children and adults. The children are stretched in their knowledge, skills, behaviour and are clearly very happy with extremely positive atmosphere which is projected.
Nothing is too much trouble and they are always looking to see how they can develop individuals and group further. Their personal, academic and social skills are enhanced on a daily basis and we are regularly surprised and delighted by developments that we see and the children love the atmosphere.

Upon returning to work I was very nervous at the prospect of leaving my little boy. However, this soon changed when I visited and decided to send him to Vicar Water. All the team are excellent and more than exceeded my expectations as did the office manager. A fantastic nursery and team, would highly recommend.

The nursery is absolutely fab! Staff are so involved with the children and keep up to date with events children have done outside of nursery. They have both learnt so much and confidence wise, they've come on in leaps and bounds. The garden is everything a child could want. My son loves the allotment. I think it's great how what's grown is cooked and eaten for the children's dinners. 10/10. I could not fault the nursery and I will be sad when my children become too old to come.

My 1st son came to Vicar Waters and loved coming so I put my 2nd son in. He really enjoys coming every week. The staff are all lovely and always give plenty of feedback at the end of every session. I strongly believe that both have developed so much from coming here, and would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for all your hard work and support.

My daughter has been at Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) for just over a year and is 2 and a half. She has come on so much over this time and the nursery does all they can to nurture and develop her. She comes home desperate to share with us all she has done and is always eager to return. The staff are exceptional and really do care for her as an individual rather than just a number as some other nurseries do. I have already and will continue to recommend Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) 100%.

My little boy has been attending this nursery for 20 months now. He is absolutely flourishing there. His confidence is clear to see and he has built many friendships both with other children and staff. The staff have designed learning and play activities around his interests and have supported him to develop his love of numbers and letters.

My son has been coming to this nursery for nearly 2 years now and he absolutely loves it.
He cannot wait to ger his shoes and coat on in the morning. I usually find myself running out of the door trying to put my coat on all so he can see his friends at nursery. Not only are the staff so good with my son, they bend over backwards and give their best efforts to support and work with parents. For example following through with toilet training at nursery as well as at home. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They are so kind hearted, friendly and welcoming everyone we visit. Keep up the good work Vicar Water Day Nursery staff.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Kay P (Mother of Child) on Friday 29 April 2016. Relates to April 2016.
Staff are really open and approachable, they are always on hand to offer advice and reassurance. I feel that they know my sons needs and support him to help him learn and grow. Since being at nursery my sons confidence and social skills have improved a lot. He now talks non-stop and is confident to join in with other children and do new things on his own. The facilities are excellent, especially the outdoors space which my son loves. My son loves nursery and looks forward to going and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. That can only be a good thing as when he first started he'd cry whenever I left him. I always ring to check on him and staff always are polite and reassuring. He is definitely enjoying learning and has improved in all aspects of education; numbers, colours etc.

The nursery has brought my daughter along very well, the staff are very knowledgeable and always want to give my daughter the best development that they can. The facilities are excellent and in the short time my daughter has been at the nursery her improvement in speech and interaction with others has come on leaps and bounds away from the nursery as well. We are very happy parents.

I would definitely recommend Vicar Water Treetops, we've only been coming for a few months and my little girl has settled in really well. All the staff are friendly and very patient. The outside area is fantastic with plenty of space for everyone to play and runaround.
Some mornings she struggles to let me go and the staff are brilliant, they encourage her to go off and play or read or they just talk to her which makes it so much easier for me to leave whilst knowing she's in safe hands.
It's great to hear about what she been doing during the day and how she's been, we even get a daily log.
The kids even get a healthy snack when leaving which goes down very well!
