The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Treetops Grove (Leeds) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Treetops Grove (Leeds) in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.667 for Treetops Grove (Leeds) is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.667
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 4.741 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Treetops Grove (Leeds) is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 10.8 positive Reviews (54 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 8 Reviews ÷ 10.8 Target = 0.741
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Treetops Grove is a lovely nursery. The staff are all extremely friendly and professional and they are wonderful with the children.
The nursery, as a whole, is very well run and organised and has lovely facilities. The meals cooked for the kids are very nutritious, varied and mine certainly enjoys them.
It's great being able to take my child to a nursery that I have total confidence in.

My little boy loves going to nursery. He jumps in every morning. He loves all his nursery nurses. There are lots of things for the children to do and play with. They always have events going eg. Sports day, Halloween.
The garden is massive with lots of space for children to run around. Lovely nursery, staff are great. I'm very happy with my choice.

The staff have been very supportive during the transition from one from to another which has been very comforting for my son and they have kept us informed at all times which has put our minds at ease.
Unfortunately, over the last few months, there has been a high member of staff leaving and new starters. This has sometimes led to staff cooking after our son and they haven't introduced themselves to us. This should be improved.

I feel so at ease dropping my child off at nursery in the baby room. The staff are so friendly and always smiling. She has settled so well in the nursery with support from her keyworker. The rooms are homely, very inviting and stimulating for babies with plenty of opportunities to play, explore and learn.

The staff in the nursery are lovely and my son feels very welcome and is extremely settled.
Any queries are dealt with fast and sufficiently. The outdoor areas need looking at and more resources available (especially the big garden). The menu is a little adventurous for children, my child never seems to eat much.

My child is in the baby room and I have been very impressed with the staff. They are kind, patient and friendly. There is a good routine established, including settling my son to nap regularly (which is no mean feat!) I like the fact they do a variety of activities even though they are young. I was pleased with my clay mother's day present. Also, the staff give full and detailed feedback every day, both verbal and written.

Over the last 3 years, I feel the nursery has gone from strength to strength. The current management team are the best yet and the overall level of care, compassion, expertise and professionalism among the staff is excellent.
My son absolutely loves going to nursery and I absolutely love sending him there.

After viewing lots of nurseries, Treetops Groves stood out because of the friendly, welcoming staff. My son settled in straight away and always seems to have enjoyed his days at nursery. My first impressions of the staff were spot on - my son has had wonderful key workers, but every member of the staff appears to know him really well and are able to tell us funny stories from his day.

My son attends the Monkey room. He settles lovely every morning and I have no problems leaving him. The staff in the room are great and extremely friendly. The nursery provides a lovely, caring environment which is colourful and very inviting. The nursery provides lots of activities to involve families and the management are very approachable. All in all, a very nice nursery with lovely staff.

Treetops has been fantastic from day one. Our daughter quickly settled at the nursery after being supported by caring staff who paid close attention to what helped reassure her and quickly built her confidence. The daily reports and opportunity to talk to the staff ensure you have a full picture of what has happened each day. The opportunity to attend "parents evenings" also allows us to reflect on each child's development and was reassuring for us. I had my reservations about sending her to nursery but our daughter has been so happy and the expense so positive I would happily recommend Grove to anyone. Their staff are a credit to them.

My son has been very happy at Treetops Grove since he started there aged 11 months. I love the friendly, intimate environment of the nursery. The staff are all lovely and I have total confidence that my son is cared for by people I trust. I also love the huge garden and the large amounts of time the children spend outdoors.

My little boy moved to Treetops due to a change in location for my wife's job. Right from the beginning, the staff helped to make the transition so smooth as possible. They were very helpful and didn't mind us ringing most days to start with to see how he was.
My little boy now loves the nursery and always talks about the staff at home. A massive thank you to everyone invited.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sarah C (Mother of Child) on Tuesday 15 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
My daughter has been attending Treetops Grove Nursery for over 2 years since she first started in the Bear Cubs room. I have been extremely impressed by the quality of care and range of activities on offer across each age group room she has been in. My daughter loves this nursery and all the staff, so I always feel reassured she will be looked after and have a fun day when I drop her off each morning. The facilities are great, with a wide range of games, toys and learning for both indoor and outdoor play. My daughter attends full time and has really developed socially as well as learning self-feeding and hygiene skills. I wouldn't be able to offer my daughter the range of stimulation, learning and fun I know she enjoys each day; therefore Treetops Grove Nursery has been invaluable, allowing me to continue working, secure in the knowledge that my daughter is safe and happy.

My children have all loved going to Treetops Grove Nursery . The staff are all very welcoming and helpful and they have a good relationship with their key children this makes the morning drop of a breeze. There is a large garden for the children to play in and explore. I also like how as parents we are encouraged to get involved. We attended sports day in the summer and it was lovely to see the children having fun.

My son has been attending Treetops Grove Nursery since he was 8 months old and has always been looked after very well by the staff here. The staff are great at communicating with parents so you always feel informed about what your child has been up to. More recently he has really gained in confidence as he has progressed through the rooms and achieved more milestones. He now runs into nursery, is happy to see his friends and key staff and has a great time!!
