The Review Score of 7.2 (maximum of 10) for Mayfield Private Nursery 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 9 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Mayfield Private Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.5 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no 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 4.682 for Mayfield Private Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.682
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 2.488 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mayfield Private Nursery is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 8.2 positive Reviews (41 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 8 Reviews ÷ 8.2 Target = 0.976 , then divided by 2 = 0.488
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Mayfield Private Nursery has a Review Score of 7.2 (7.170)

Mayfield nursery have given my child fantastic care and support. They have listened to her and engaged her in a nurturing and supportive environment. This has allowed her to develop close friendships and meaningful relationships as well as embarking on a more structured learning journey, recognising colours, shapes, numbers and letters. Most importantly, my child loves going to nursery every day and we feel safe, happy and confident in sending her. I'd recommend it to anyone.

My son started the nursery a good few weeks ago and I must say it's the best thing I have ever done was put him into Mayfield. The staff are absolutely brilliant and couldn't be any nicer, they welcomed him in with open arms. The difference in him is amazing with learning new things and trying to speak a lot more, would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

My son has attended the nursery for around 2 years now. He loves going to nursery and enjoys a wide range of activities. I have had meetings with his key worker and we have developed a plan for his learning. It was great that I was allowed to be involved so much. They have helped to prepare my son for an operation. They have a hospital role play area and spoke with him about what the hospital would be like. Without their support I don't think preparing him for the hospital would have been so successful.The staff really do have a child centred approach for every child. They have recently been carrying out improvements in the garden and in the nursery rooms. They are looking excellent and you can see the effort and dedication staff have put into making a child friendly space for children to explore. The style of the building makes it very homely and not like a factory building like most nurseries. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My child has blossomed while attending the nursery.

My daughter has been attending for a little over a year now and found it easy to settle in - she has developed strong attachments to staff; they are very friendly, approachable, caring and interested to cater for both my daughter's needs and our's as parents. She receives one to one attention, takes part in a variety of activities (craft, outdoor play, visits to the park and more), and they provide a varied diet. When I pick up or drop off my daughter they are happy to recap on the day's events and there is also a diary to refer to as well. As a parent I feel involved as we receive regular emails with details of updates on policies / events and are asked for feedback too. I have every confidence in the nursery to provide the nurturing environment my daughter needs to develop. I also see how my daughter laughs, plays and interacts with the other kids and staff - this makes me confident she enjoys it!

My son has been at Mayfield Nursery since he was a baby and has loved every minute of it. He is now due to leave and go to school. The staff are friendly and helpful. They meet the needs of my son whilst making his days fun. There is a high turnover of staff which for me personally is an issue. They do however, have great core staff also, who are wonderful at what they do. Since appointing the new manager the nursery is 100% better and can only improve even more. They have a good selection of lunches and the kids have an input in the choices. The chef is very accommodating also. They get outside a lot which is my favourite thing about the nursery as my son loves the outdoors. They also have plenty of other activities for the kids to enjoy like dress up days (What kid doesn't like dressing up?) Teddy bears picnic and other fun events. I hope this helps to give a little insight into Mayfield. Oh they have very recently introduced a uniform which I also think is great.

The nursery and staff are fantastic. The staff have ensured that my little boy's development has always been the focus during the multiple activities they do on a daily /weekly basis. You are given full feed back of your child's daily activity, including meals etc and I know other nurseries don't provide this. I would recommend this nursery to anyone, as it is a great environment foryour child to learn, develop and also have lots of fun.

My daughter always looks forward to going to nursery. The staff are very attentive and responsive to her needs. They have made the transition of going back to work a lot easier for her. She was very shy at first but was encouraged to come out of her shell in her own time. They were incredibly patient and gave excellent advice during a difficult toilet training process.

Happy to send my daughter to Mayfield twice a week. She comes back having experienced new things and is always smiling.
Staff are helpful and take care of my daughter in the baby room.
Would recommend the nursery as they care and support any needs.
I also like all the outdoor play.
