The staff at Zone4kids are truly remarkable. Their dedication, professionalism and genuine love for children shine through in everything they do. Our son has formed strong bonds with his teachers who go above and beyond to ensure he feels safe, supported and happy every day. The learning environment

We're absolutely delighted that our little girl and boy are both attending Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge.
From the moment we arrive in the morning, we are given a warm welcome. Our older daughter comes home telling us of the wonderful activities during the day. At collection time, we are given an informative
summary and we are given online reports of children's progress.
As parents, we are so thankful to the carers in the setting who keep our children safe, engaged with learning and laughing.

My child thrives at nursery. It's a joy to see how happy she is every morning, going in and showing off all the things she's made. It's been lovely to see her make friends and come on in her social development.

Zone4kids is a brilliant nursery. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We visited a few nurseries before Zone4kids and they just didn't feel quite right, as soon as we walked into Zone4kids we knew this was the one. My son has come on leaps and bounds and I have the keyworkers to thank for that. They
listen to any concerns and keep you updated. The manager always goes above and beyond to help if you need any extra/last-minute care of needed. I'm due my next baby this spring and wouldn't put him anywhere other than Zone4kids.

Zone4Kids is truly outstanding, from the staff to the interaction with the children. It really is second to none, What is really impressive is the diligence paid to the emotional and well-being support of each and every child. The staff are to be commended for the relationship maintained with the parents,
we are well updated everyday on the progress of my child. We love Zone4kids and I would recommend it to any parent, anytime. Thank you so much!

Ever since my child started at Zone4Kids, he has loved his time. He loves coming home and telling us stories and seeing his progress. Care here has been very supportive and created a great environment for him to grow.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge First School 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 5.000 for Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge First School is calculated as follows: ( (492 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 492 Ratings = 5
  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 Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge First School is based on 41 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2, which has been reached with 41 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.
