b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 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 4.932 for Best Friends Private Day Nursery, Worsley is calculated as follows: ( (552 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 587 Ratings = 4.932
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 3.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Best Friends Private Day Nursery, Worsley 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 17.8 positive Reviews (89 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 17.8 Target = 0.225
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Laura H (Mother of Child) on Monday 21 August 2017. Relates to March 2017.
My daughter attended Best Friends nursery from October 2014 until leaving earlier this year due to relocating.
The staff in the baby room were excellent, so were the staff in the toddler room who were very helpful in supporting her with potty training.
What I feel was a slight let down was the constant change in staff, either from one room to another or leaving altogether (some excellent ones too). I lost count of the amount of times the manager changed. This had a knock on effect as I don't think issues were addressed as proficiency as they should have been and it certainly lost the personal touch it once had.
Overall, a good nursery which I'm sure could be great again with a long-term manager who gets to know the children and parents and looks after their staff.

Charlotte, Admin at Best Friends Private Day Nursery, Worsley responded to this review on 24 Aug 2017:
Hi Laura,
Thank you for your lovely comments about the staff in our baby room and toddler room. We’re very lucky to have such a wonderful team and I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to them all. Of course, we recognise that a long-term manager is important for our nursery and appreciate your frustrations in this regard. We're delighted to say that our manager has settled in wonderfully and has made lots of positive changes to our setting. Thank you once again for taking the time to give us your feedback - we hope you’ll keep us up to date on how your daughter is getting along.

The staff in the baby room have been absolutely brilliant with my son. He has settled in so well and that's down to the lovely ladies who look after him. The nursery room is large and never seems overcrowded even when full. There is plenty of toys for the children to play with. If your child has a routine the staff keep to it. I cannot praise them enough.

My daughter has been going to Best Friends Nursery from the age of 4months, I have always been really happy with everything.
The girls in the baby room are fantastic and I feel they really care for my daughter. She really enjoys nursery and now goes 4 days a week.
I have recommended the nursery to lots of friends.
The only bad point I would say, is there have been a lot of staff leave the baby room, which they haven't replaced. The girls are amazing but I think they need one more full time to support them.

I have had 2 children through this nursery. Management change within last year- great improvements in natural play and outdoor provisions. Staff enthusiastic, motivated and very knowledgeable. Menus great for children and support healthy eating. A fabulous, stimulating and nurturing environment where children are happy and safe.

My daughter has been here for a year now and I am very pleased with the care she has received. The staff are friendly and caring. The staff are always understanding of any concerns I have and try their best to work alongside me in overcoming any problems which may arise. My daughter truly enjoys coming to this nursery and they always try their best to take the children out as much as possible. This nursery has good outdoor facilities, good staff and is run very efficiently. I would always recommend.

We feel this is a good nursery, as our daughter is well looked after, safe, and enjoying her time here. We have noticed that our daughter is developing very well,especially with her speech and understanding.
The French lessons are also welcomed as this helps her to learn and develop in other areas, and have a greater understanding of different cultures.

Best Friends Nursery is a fantastic nursery. My son & daughter have only been attending around 4 months and have both come on leaps and bounds. I was worried about the change from there old nursery to a new, but I had nothing to worry about! my son settled in within the first day! Everyone was so lovely to him and welcomed him in, there was tears from me rather than my son!
The staff and management are fantastic very experienced and always keep me informed and up to date with everything.
The facilities for both children in both rooms are great lots for each child to do. The food and menu is excellent a good variety each week.
I would defiantly recommend Best Friends! its great to be able to say when I drop my children off in the morning I know they are in good safe hands and I know they will be enjoying there time there!

I think Best Friends Nursery is excellent, both my children love going. They have both really settled in and are really developing. The nursery keeps us up to date with parents evenings and they also encourage the children to continue to learn at home. The staff are excellent! Very friendly, very experienced and caring. They always let us know straight away if my children are poorly, the food is very good and varied. They take a real interest in the children and I am very happy I picked Best Friends!

Our daughter has only been at nursery for 1 month and we are amazed at how quickly she has settled in. She is a very happy and confident little girl. She is no longer upset at all when I drop her in the mornings as the girls have been so good with settling her. It's harder for me - but the staff are always brilliant when I call 10 times a day to see if she is okay!!
We are really happy with everything, everyone is really friendly and our daughter enjoys her time at nursery, staff go the extra mile to make sure mummy and baby are happy.

My daughter has been attending Best Friends since she was 9 months old. Now approaching 3 years, she is confident, happy, energetic, and loves her time at nursery. My daughters speech is fantastic and her communication skills are far better than my friends children of similar ages not attending Best Friends. She interacts with others very well and is very happy. Best Friends have played a huge part in her development and for that we are very grateful.

We moved our daughter to Best Friends following a bad experience with another nursery. The management team facilitated a seamless transition to integrate our daughter into the nursery. All the nursery staff provide a top level of care and are extremely professional in their work. In addition to this the food provided during the day is first class, this, together with the nursery's excellent facilities, convenient opening times and value of service meant we had no hesitation in sending out second daughter to the nursery.

We have two children in the nursery and are very happy as are our children. The nursery provides a friendly, warm and comforting atmosphere for our young daughter. They do age appropriate activities and have toys that encourage their development, she loves the nursery and lights up when we pull up in the car park. The pre-school class offers extra activities such as swimming and french lessons, which I couldn't be more impressed with. The outdoor area is great and the children are encouraged to embrace outdoor activities, recently sports day. Much more than I expected from a nursery.

My son has been at the nursery for 2 years and has developed during this time, has been monumental of a significant part of the character his is today. He is subjected to a wide range of experiences , people and places which is the reason why we chose this nursery. The establishment has been consistent during this time and we are not second guessing to bring our second child here (even though we still have 3 months before she is born!)
All the staff are friendly, approachable and informative. The food is nothing short of excellent on all levels from choice, quality and variety, I wish I could come and eat here 3 days a week too. I am fully satisfied with the mind set that he is looked after for his well being rather than for it being somebody's job.

An excellent nursery in all respects. The staff and management are highly professional and excellent at what they do. The facilities are fantastic and they have a really good variety of activities for the children. My daughter has really advanced under their care, they are great at feeding back how she is doing and working with us as parents to progress in certain areas. The food is also excellent. A lot of care, effort and consideration obviously goes into all they do at the nursery.

My son has been in this nursery since he was 9 months old. He leaves for school in September and we'll be so sad to leave. Staff are fantastic and so caring and supportive to both the children and parents. They have made me feel so comfortable about my sons progress and development, giving him cuddles and encouragement when needed. Special thanks to his key person who has been incremental in his development and confidence. Excellent nursery, fantastic staff!!!

Best Friends has been my sons nursery for over 2 years now and the staff are fantastic. They are very patient and helpful. They always look out for the best interests of my child. The facilities are also fantastic. We even had a hamster sleep over our house for the weekend.

My son loves nursery. The staff are courteous and treat each child as individuals, they do lots of group activity work like singing, dancing, painting and lots of outdoor play. The staff are professional and enthusiastic, always really to discuss your child's development. They are approachable and I have full confidence in the care, attention and learning they provide for my son. He is now 19 months having started the nursery when he was 4 months.

From day one it has been excellent. We have watched our son develop in confidence and happiness since being at Best Friends. The activities and facilities are very good and are continually improving, our son loves attending. Equally we love dropping him off knowing he will have a fabulous day and will learn so much. Excellent staff and management. Management are super friendly and clearly very dedicated to the nursery.

My daughter has been here since she was age 1 (she is now 3). She has been well cared for and she has developed really well. Her interactive skills, her confidence, her speech, empathy. She's always enjoyed her days at nursery, and told me how much fun she has had with her friends. I am amazed by the stories she comes home with. I think Best Friends is a great nursery as they are always looking for ways to improve and always take parents views and concerns on board. I had no hesitation to put my second baby in - she is 1 now and has been here for two months.

My son has had fantastic support during his time at nursery. The staff have gone above and beyond as he had delayed speech and so the support has been exceptional in helping and encouraging his development. In my opinion, the nursery is very safe and secure with 'FOB' entry access or via intercom, the staff are professional, friendly and above all, caring. I am confident that every time I leave my children that they are safe, happy and will have lots of fun.
