The Review Score of 6.5 (maximum of 10) for Abacus Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 2 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Abacus Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 1.5 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no 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 5 for Abacus Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
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 1.535 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abacus Day Nursery is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3 then divided by 2 = 1.500
Target of 14.2 positive Reviews (71 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 14.2 Target = 0.070 , then divided by 2 = 0.035
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Abacus Day Nursery has a Review Score of 6.5 (6.535)

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abacus to other parents. My son has been with the nursery since he was 11 months old. I'm wholly confident in the care he receives, the surroundings he is in, nor can I rate staff highly enough. Communication between nursery and parents is excellent, all meaning that it's one less parenting worry!

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Melanie C (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 24 February 2016. Relates to January 2016.
This nursery was fabulous with my daughter who at the time was 7mths old. The staff here were so welcoming and my daughter settled here in no time even though I only needed childcare for 4 weeks whilst I finished uni. The food is made on site and my daughter loved it, they also kept a diary of what she'd eaten through the day and nappy changes etc which I got to read at home. The staff are really friendly and made me feel at ease as I was very apprehensive leaving my baby at a young age, they were very understanding when I rang everyday to check on her!
I would definitely use this nursery again... 5 star rating from me.
