Review from Katherine T (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves going to nursery and is upset when he can't go. They spend all day playing fun games whilst also teaching him so many new things. He has extra needs and requires regular medication and close monitoring and all members of the team have been amazing at doing this. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
them.

Review from Catherine N (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Could not be more pleased with the care my son receives at First Steps. He loves going every single morning. Staff know each child's needs and personality. Individual activities and toys/facilities that are available each day are always varied and exciting. My child has developed so much since attending
and I cannot thank them enough. The blog that is also posted each week, with pictures is lovely to read. My partner and I really enjoy this, and so do our son's grandparents.

Review from Chantelle H (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are lovely and so helpful. My daughter loves going to school. I was extremely worried about leaving her when she first started after her 2nd birthday but it was lovely to know the staff were friendly and they put my mind at ease. By far the best decision I've made to send her here.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.595)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.595) out of 10 for Blue Sky Day Nursery (York) 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.906 for Blue Sky Day Nursery (York) is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.906
  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 4.689 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Sky Day Nursery (York) is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 45 number of registered child places is 9. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.889
  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.
