The Review Score of 8.1 (maximum of 10) for Tiny Adventures 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 13 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Tiny Adventures Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.968 for Tiny Adventures Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.968
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 3.094 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Adventures Day Nursery is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 10.6 positive Reviews (53 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 10.6 Target = 0.094
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My little one started at the nursery in January and has settled so well. The girls are amazing with him and he has built a strong bond with them. He happily trots in without any concerns most mornings smiling and waving me off. They provide such varied activities from messy play to painting to taking them on trips to the park. He always comes home smiling but shattered (which is good for us and he sleeps really well). It's a great atmosphere and all the children who go there seem to really enjoy it

My little boy started at Tiny Adventures Day Nursery at the end of Feb 17. He did his settling in sessions and struggled so the staff supported us in extending these sessions until he'd fully settled. The staff in his room would send us photos during the day to show us how much fun he was having and if I called the nursery they always took the time to speak to me and fill me in on his day. When we collect him at the end of the day the girls always give us a very informative handover. The staff always look so happy to be at work and they always make you feel welcome within the nursery. The activities they offer are always fun and interesting.
Then children go on lots outings and use the garden space which is amazing.
The nursery is always clean, and always bright and colourful with children's art work. All in all, I feel Tiny Adventures is a lovely warm welcoming nursery that offers 100% perfect care, I honestly could never thank the staff enough for the care they give to my little boy.

Whenever I visit the nursery to collect my Grandchild I am struck by the professionalism of the entire staff, the security and safety and cleanliness. My granddaughter's education has got off to a flying start, she is soaking up knowledge and having the time of her life.

My girls love the nursery. They started in December and have developed amazingly. My youngest especially loves painting and my eldest loves doing everything. She loves learning from her friends and the really friendly staff there. Great facilities and activities take place and make us, as parents, feel at ease knowing the girls are having an amazing time whenever they're at nursery.

Fantastic nursery. All staff are lovely and brilliant with all children! I don't hear anybody speaking bad about it. Highly recommended to everyone who's child/children are starting nursery. So glad I chose this nursery for my little girl. She's come on so well with all the help and encouragement from the staff and made lots of friends too. My little girl loves it. My little boy will be going there too.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Natalie H (Mother of Child) on Thursday 24 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
My son started in September this year and after a shaky start, due to him being a mummy's boy, he has settled so well. The staff are amazing and he now loves going to nursery. The transition into nursery has also helped him gain confidence with settling with other family members. His speech has come on amazingly fast and I believe this to be because of the interaction he has with the staff and other children. The nursery has a new security system for gaining access which ensures the children's safety and gives parents peace of mind.
I will be happy to recommend tiny adventures nursery to friends and family, I will also be sad to say goodbye when my son leaves in June.

My daughter has attended Tiny Adventure Day Nursery since the age of 8 months and settled immediately. Transition throughout the nursery rooms was always carried out sensitively. All staff are amazing and create a loving fun environment for the children. There is great flexibility. Great outdoor play area and children are taken out to the park and library visits when the weather is appropriate. In pre-school even French lessons are provided! My daughter had grown into a confident child with the help of Tiny Adventures. Parents are also able to access updates online and view what activities and milestones their child has achieved! Great Nursery!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Hannah (Mother of Child) on Monday 23 November 2015.
Very happy with the nursery, both my children have attended the settling over the years, they loved nursery and made the most amazing bonds with their key workers. I loved that they picked their own and their values and opinions were always accounted for. The setting is lovely and safe and the outdoor area is amazing, providing lots of exciting experiences. They supported both my children to settle into big school, creating special books about them and visits. Overall the staff are amazing and a lovely family to be a part of.

Tiny Adventures Day Nursery is a lovely place and my son loves coming here. The staff are really friendly and fun but also very helpful and informative when I have questions about certain activities or behaviours. The food always smells great and every time I pick my son up he's involved in something interesting. He really looks forward to coming which is all the proof I need!

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Angela (Mother of Child) on Thursday 15 October 2015. Relates to October 2015.
My son has attended the nursery from 9 months of age and he absolutely loves it there. When we drop him off in the morning he doesn't even look back! The staff have been wonderful at settling him in and making sure he is happy and content. I have always felt welcome and this made a strong impression on me when I first visited. Everyone is helpful, cheerful and always willing to offer advice or suggestions when you have questions as a first time parent. I know my son has a fabulous time doing lots of different activities and it is evident that the staff are always thinking of ways to develop the individual child by offering tasks which target their interests. The outside area is impressive also and allows the children lots of space to explore and enjoy the great outdoors. I am always envious of the carefully chosen healthy meals they have too as they sound delicious!
