Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eighteen month old son has settled in really well to Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown). The family app is great as you can keep in touch and see how their day is going. If there are any concerns, they contact straight away. There are times where Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) have been flexible to my
needs but most of the time, I just need to know that my child is in a safe happy environment, which he is.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown). My older child actually asked if his sister would be going because he enjoyed it so much! The team are all really friendly and supportive. I've seen the development of my children grow whilst attending and they always leave happy and content.
Thank you everyone at Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown).

Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) have looked after my child from nine months old. Each unit have provided an excellent level of care and patience throughout our time in Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown). My work patterns have changed several times over the years and our requests have always been accommodated
without making us feel that we were being a pain! We have been kept in the loop throughout the years on progress, development, eating and everything we would like to know about. There's a real family feel and we know our child will be sad to finish when the time comes. Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) have been fantastic through the pandemic, from both management and the staff. They have made sure that they get things in line with all of the new safety measures and make the children feel at ease while wearing masks. I would definitely recommend Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown).

My son has attended Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) for around nine months. He is very happy there, always keen to run in during morning drop off and is always happy at the end of the day. The staff provide regular updates during the day, of my sons progress and they provide varied activities as part
of his development. I’d highly recommend Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) and look forward to sending our next child.

My son has been at nursery since he was six months old and is now currently three and a half. He loves attending nursery and loves the staff. I can’t thank the girls enough for their work. He has come forward in leaps and bounds.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.994 for Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.994
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 15 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.
