The Review Score of 8.4 (maximum of 10) for Nursery Rhymes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Nursery Rhymes in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.983 for Nursery Rhymes is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.983
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 3.393 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery Rhymes is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 14 positive Reviews (70 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 14 Target = 0.143
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Amazing nursery, very understanding and caring staff. You know your child is in safe hands here, they are absolutely lovely.
I love how they concentrate on a child's development and work on what they need to improve on, they also keep you very well informed about your child's day, I would definitely recommend them.

My son adores all the staff here and has developed mentally and physically a lot since starting. He feels safe and enjoys his time with the other children and staff. I couldn't think of a better nursery to send him to.

My son has been going to Nursery Rhymes now since January 2017. In the short time of him being here, he has come on leaps and bounds. All of my family have seen a change in him, his development has come on amazingly. I have noticed his speech is improving so well and his social skills are so much better, he listens so much better and is in a really good routine as a result of the nursery. All the staff are lovely and he loves his key worker and is always talking about her at home and shouting for her. On his first day of going, he was very teary and quite attached to me but after a few days of going he says bye and runs off to play with the other children. Would definitely recommend this nursery. All activities that are set in place here are brilliant and I love him going there.

We picked this nursery for its baby room, which has a lovely feel to it, the staff are great with our son who took a while to settle but absolutely loves going now which is down to how much effort the staff went to settling him in. The outside facilities are good and our son loves the meals as well and seems to do a good range of activities every day.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 9 months old and it has the best decision I made to pick this nursery.
The staff and manager are excellent. The service they provide is second to none. Never had an issue and they have been dealt with promptly. I know my little girl is in safe hands.
Highly recommended!!
