Review from Laura (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend this nursery. I am always happy to leave my little girl in the care of the lovely staff who I have full confidence in. When I pick my little girl up I am always fully informed of how her day has been and the girls let me see what she has been up to. Management are always friendly
and welcoming and I know their door is always open for any questions I may have.
An excellent nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a top class nursery with fantastic staff and management.
Five stars.
My daughter first came to nursery feeling shy but now her confidence has grown amazingly. The food provided is healthy and well planned to give the kids good variety.
I love the fact that they take the kids to the nursery
and encourage reading.

I have recommended this nursery to two friends who have chose to send there kids here. My son has been going here for just under 3 years and the standards have always remained high. Hours of opening are excellent, the staff are great and the level of communication received is high.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.609)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.609) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.895 for Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.895
  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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld is based on 12 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.714
  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.
