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 4.838 for Fixbees Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.838
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 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fixbees Private Day Nursery is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 7.6 positive Reviews (38 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 7.6 Target = 0.132
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My one-year-old daughter joined Fixbees nursery in October 2017, she was allocated a place in the baby’s room
The manager and her team helped immensely, in ensuring that my daughter felt comfortable and safe in her environment, a great emphasis was placed on creating “a home to home” environment. This, in turn, gave me confidence that my daughter was in a safe, nurturing environment and I did not have to worry about her well-being.
The manager developed her staff, both in training and in nurturing style. This was reflected on how they dealt with difficult situations with my daughter, they have settled her down when distressed and enjoyed happy moments together, which helped in my daughter learning needs.
The team gave me snapshots of her day profile, I was able to use my daughter’s favourite blanket in the nursery, weaning solid foods. The manager and her team, especially two nurseries nurses were very supportive, they read her favourite books, played with animal models.

My little girl has been attending since October, she has recently turned two. She is so happy here and coming on leaps and bounds in her development. She is a very happy little girl at this nursery and they keep you informed on all things that happen. We have an online account and can see what she is up to throughout the day. Great staff and great ratio of staff to kids, which I do think matters for development. Thanks for taking care of her so well.

We are very happy with the nursery. My daughter is comfortable there and goes in of her own accord with all members of staff. The staff are friendly and helpful with advice. The nursery is happy to accommodate any extra days I need which is very helpful. Her development matters assessment is currently up-to-date but more pictures, recent ones, would be great to see. My daughter is coming on very well in her learning and social skills plus her speech is getting clearer every day. The staff have now offered to help with potty training - fab!

We visited Fixbees before making the decision to send our daughter there and were so impressed from the first moment we stepped into the nursery. The staff really are a credit to them. From the age of one our daughter, who is now over two years old has developed into such a well spoken, polite mannered child. Her learning and basic knowledge all round is fantastic and I can only put that down to the incredible staff and Fixbees.

My son settled in so well at Fixbees Private Day Nursery and loved going to nursery. The staff are all really lovely and professional I had no worries at all leaving my son in their care. I was really impressed with the variety of activities available to my son to help him learn through play, both indoors and outdoors. I would highly recommend Fixbees.

Sending your child to the nursery is such an emotional time. You need to feel that the nursery staff really care about your child. I never questioned this with Fixbees Private Day Nursery.
We went to look around several nurseries but none were as good as Fixbees Private Day Nursery. They have a light airy building, wide open spaces and great rooms for the age groups.
The staff are so dedicated and are constantly going above and beyond. The theme days, new food and experiences the children gain are invaluable. I loved accompanying my daughter on a trip to a local airport and then picnic in the park. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son absolutely loved it and they developed him amazingly in time for school. This was more like my son being brought up by an amazing extended family than being at nursery. They have healthy eating to the highest standard, growing vegetables and forest school. It is worth every penny. This is an amazing nursery with staff who have been there for years and love their job. Thank you Fixbees.

I would Highly recommend Fixbees Day Care Nursery. My little boy enjoys coming to nursery, he has developed really well since starting this nursery. The staff are very informative and will pass on messages about how my child as been throughout the day.
I like the fact that I am able to see on a daily basis what my child gets up to, also I like the fact that I can access the parent zone so that I can see all the observations and the new learning that my little boy does.
I love this nursery and would not hesitate to recommend it.

I've always found Fixbees staff to be friendly and professional. My child enjoys attending the nursery and is always challenged with interesting and age appropriate activities. I feel the nursery involve the parents with stay and play sessions and I receive feedback about my child's progress through Parentzone and parents evenings. I love this nursery and would not hesitate to recommend it.
