Review from Zainul A (Father of Child) published on 27 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We first used Playdays last year in 2018 for our eldest son. We were very impressed by the organised and structured approach. Staff were always helpful and polite and able to answer any queries raised. For that reason, we used Playdays again this year but for both our young boys.
Each day was noted
to be different, with a variety in activities and even visits/day trips out. Both boys loved their time at Playdays and made it quite clear that they had fun at each visit.
As a parent that sees the importance of developmental play and learning, I would highly recommend Playdays as a place to use for your young ones.
Keep up the excellent work Playdays and we look forward to seeing you again next summer holidays!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two daughters have attended Playdays over the last 6 years. The nursery and staff have been fantastic, they have nurtured and cared for both our girls, providing lots of fun and a great learning environment, any issues were resolved quickly and both my daughters have thrived and loved their time
at nursery.
Thank you so much for giving them such a great start, they have both started school happy and confident and settled in straight away.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first day we visited Playdays, we knew this was the right place for our girls. They both started around 10 months old and are now 4 and 2 and I can honestly say the kids absolutely love it and I can't say a bad word about it in all that time.
The staff are so so friendly, helpful and very
approachable and the nursery has always had such a welcoming feel to it. I couldn't recommend it enough it really is outstanding!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy attended Playdays for 12 months from the age of 2 and although apprehensive at first, he settled in really well and much sooner than I anticipated. This credit must go to the staff who knew exactly how to handle a clingy child and a worried mum!
The nursery is run in an organised and
competent way with parents always informed of any changes or events happening within the nursery.
Communication is key when it comes to childcare settings and Playdays exceeds at this.
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and we were always greeted with a warm welcome at drop off, even from the staff who didn’t look after for my son. I never once picked him up with food all over his face or clothes which has certainly been an issue with other nurseries that I have had experience of.
My little boy was very happy, well cared for and genuinely made to feel welcome at Playdays and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.590)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.590) out of 10 for Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.965 for Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965
  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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 12 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.625
  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.
