Review from Jasmine A (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery, from the moment I met the manager at the nursery, I was impressed. She is clearly passionate about caring for and the development of children. She has a great ethos that is shared by her wonderful team. Her team is varied in experience levels and a mix of ages which I appreciate. I was
a bit nervous following moving my children from a previous nursery, but the settling in sessions reassured me and the fact you're kept informed about your child's day is priceless. There was absolutely no issues accommodating our child's dietary requirements either. Messy and outdoor play is encouraged and the outdoor spaces are lovely. I love that there is community involvement and chances to stay and play encouraging children to have a sense of local community. They support small and local groups and businesses which I also value. I would highly recommend this nursery, definitely have a look around.

Review from R T (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Recently moved to this setting, and it has been the best decision we have made for our daughter. From the start of our preschool journey, the staff have been very warm, welcoming and approachable which has made leaving our little one so much easier! The provision is safe, clean and well resourced providing
lots of activities to promote learning, development and independence. Staff regularly update the parents' app with observations and photos which, as a parent, is great to see what your little one is up to on a daily basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Recently moved my children here after what turned into a bad experience at another nursery and so pleased I did. The staff are experienced, caring and engaging and have really helped them both settle. The setting is lovely and they have a great selection of activities each day. There are lots of updates/photos
on the family app. just wish we could have moved them here sooner!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.980 for Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.98
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe is based on 25 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
