The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Shepherd Lodge Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Shepherd Lodge Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.861 for Shepherd Lodge Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.861
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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shepherd Lodge Day Nursery is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 10 positive Reviews (50 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 10 Target = 0.600
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 Kathryn C (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 7 March 2018. Relates to March 2018.
My baby started in the Baby Room in January 2018. The staff were extremely approachable and friendly and made me feel at ease when leaving my child in their care. The activities provided are very enjoyable for my child. Staff keep me updated with my child's progress and tell me everything about what she has been doing that day. When I collect my child, all children are engaged with an activity and staff are interacting with them at all times.

My little boy has been at Shephard's Lodge Day Nursery for almost 1 year. He started when he was just 6 months old and I can't recommend it enough! The staff in the baby room have been amazing. His key worker always tells me what he has been up to and his likes/ dislikes of the day. They have settled him in brilliantly.

Staff are amazing, caring, passionate about educating children, accommodating with parents requests, encouraging towards the children. Each child’s progression is overseen by a keyworker that spends ample time with the child and good relationship built between them due to this.

The staff are all wonderful. I love how even the ones who don't work with my daughter know her name and interact with her too.
My daughter has always been very shy, but they have done a lot to help increase her confidence.

My nephew attends Shepherd Lodge and he is extremely happy and settled at the nursery. He is excited to go and recognises the route to nursery.
