The Review Score of 7.2 (maximum of 10) for Cavendish Lodge Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Cavendish Lodge Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.5 out of 5 from 13 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 4.737 for Cavendish Lodge Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.737
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 2.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cavendish Lodge Day Nursery is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 9 positive Reviews (45 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 13 Reviews ÷ 9 Target Reached = 1 , then divided by 2 = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Cavendish Lodge Day Nursery has a Review Score of 7.2 (7.237)
Review submitted from a Postal Card by James L (Father of Child) on Thursday 16 February 2017. Relates to January 2017.
I have had four sons in this setting since 2009. All have had a good experience and have been happy to attend. Staff give regular feedback on their learning and play. CCTV is used to check accidents and is reassuring to have in place. Staff are approachable and always happy to help. Overall all my children have always looked happy when I say "time for nursery!". The only thing that lets it down is the access road from Cavendish Street it has smokers/drug dealers/drinkers to negotiate sometimes.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by LB (Mother of Child) on Thursday 16 February 2017. Relates to January 2017.
Staff are very friendly and show interest in each child. My daughter loves going to nursery and always talks about the staff and friends. There is a nice welcoming feel to the nursery and it's very clean. Activities are different each day and my daughter is always excited to see what she can do that day and play with. Staff ask how your child is each day and are willing to help if there's anything you would like them to help you with eg potty training. They have plenty of resources to the outside, bikes, scooters, climbing frame, which is great for children while playing outdoors.
