Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been at this nursery since he was about 5 months old and we love it. The staff are all lovely and friendly. They do lots of different activities throughout the week and he always come home shattered from having so much fun. Thankyou!

Review from Ricky Y (Father of Child) published on 15 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with Acorn Community Nursery. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place for their children. We have a boy who's been there for just over 12 months, and he's loved every day he's been in. They treat our boy like their own, and it feels like a family.
We have a newborn, and she will be going there once she is 12 months old.
Reply from Stella Oglivie, Manager at Acorn Community Nursery
Thank you so much, Ricky, it's lovely to read as we all work so hard, it's a pleasure having your little man and we look forward to getting the new baby.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.071)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.071) out of 10 for Acorn Community Nursery 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Acorn Community Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.071 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorn Community Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.071
  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.
