Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pied Piper Nursery is a fantastic nursery. All staff know me and my child, despite him currently frequenting the baby room. All staff are bright and friendly, and those who have daily contact with my child's needs. The indoor spaces are clean and well organised as well as bright and engaging. The nursery
take every opportunity for learning outdoors and have a fantastic garden space which is regularly used. I am more than happy to leave my child in this safe, nurturing environment!

The care provided is first class. My little girl has come on so well and is a confident, happy, girl that loves nursery, this is all thanks to the girls at the nursery. The facilities are great and the children are taken out on loads of visits. Would really recommend this nursery.

The nursery provides a great loving caring environment, where the staff make sure my child is welcomed everyday. My wee girl talks about children from the nursery all the time and everything she does day to day.

Review from Katarina S (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We could not have had better experience. Staff are friendly, approachable and keen to share a piece of advice. They helped with our family, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Management gave us a time period when we could just focus on my health only, not on the financial side.
They are also
very flexible in accommodating our needs of different days of child care. I can see my daughter fulfilling her potential, she can write her name, has really good motoric skills and enjoys taking up a challenge. Most importantly she loves her nursery and so do I.

I would recommend this nursery as a good environment for my child's development. Staff are caring and there is a wide variety of activities (indoor and outdoor) that respond to the children's natural curiosity.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.154)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.154) out of 10 for Pied Piper Nursery 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.875 for Pied Piper Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875
  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 3.279 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pied Piper Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.154
  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.
