Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest Son went to this nursery a couple of years ago and I was apprehensive of sending my daughter as it has changed management, however, I am so pleased with the care and commitment the team have shown it has helped both parents and our daughter settle in. Such a daunting time for everyone getting
used to a new routine when returning to work and they have helped and continue to support this transition.
Lovely environment and nothing seems a trouble.

My daughter has been attending almost a year now and she absolutely loves it. She looks forward to going every day. The staff are fantastic and I have every confidence in their care. They know my daughter as well as our family do. They offer a good mixture of activities and a well-balanced diet for
meals.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pour daughter was nervous around people, including close family members.
Since starting at Stepping Stones, she is more confident and content around others. More curious and responsive to new activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are always professional and helpful. The nursery is always clean with a good choice of toys. My child's learning has improved massively since attending Stepping Stones. I always feel my child's best interests are a priority and my child is well looked after. My child always enjoys a variety of
fresh, homemade meals by the cook. The team are always doing fun activities with the children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Kids Planet Linthwaite is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.917 for Kids Planet Linthwaite is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.917
  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 Kids Planet Linthwaite is based on 19 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
