Review from Morgan Q (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves coming to nursery and has made some really good friends and likes the staff. She's come home having learned Spanish and French and can communicate with me in these languages. Great menu with lots of variety. Staff are friendly and I feel safe leaving my child in their care. Gets on
fantastic with her key worker.
Overall great experience.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Holly Bank Nursery 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.950 for Holly Bank Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.95
  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 Holly Bank Nursery is based on 15 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 15 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2024

I began my childcare career in 1979 when I completed the NNEB at Thomas Danby College in Leeds. My career has been varied across the sector, starting as a Nursery Nurse working at St James Hospital on the maternity wards and special care baby unit. Then going on to work for the local authority progressing from Nursery officer to Deputy Manager. I then worked in Australia for just over 4 years still within in the childcare sector before returning to the UK. I first became a Nursery Manager in 1992 and have since gone on to successfully manage 6 different settings. In 2008 I went on to complete the BA Hons in Early Childhood studies at the University of Leeds.


Outside of work I am passionate about baking and am always on the lookout for a new recipe to try. I love to travel and have been fortunate to visit some amazing places around the world, but I also love exploring the UK too.


Just like you I want our children to be happy, settled and provided with exciting challenges to encourage their learning and development during this important period in their lives, building a respectful and trusting relationship with the children is my goal.


Qualification: BA Honours Degree in Early Childhood Studies
