The Review Score of 7.6 (maximum of 10) for Oranges and Lemons Rosebank is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Oranges and Lemons Rosebank in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.552 for Oranges and Lemons Rosebank is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.552
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 3.077 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oranges and Lemons Rosebank is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 13 positive Reviews (65 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 13 Target = 0.077
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Oranges and Lemons Rosebank has a Review Score of 7.6 (7.629)

The staff are unfriendly and unprofessional. The monitoring of the children is sometimes questionable and if you turn up early you may find certain staff busy on the laptop or tablet instead of supervising the children.

My daughter started at Oranges and Lemons Rosebank many years ago now. I was a young mum and only 17 at the time, however, without the help and respect the nursery gave to me I wouldn't be where I am today. The manager at the time and nursery teacher were excellent caring people. Not once did I feel judged or feel my child was at harm. I was treated with utmost respect and this helped me feel confident to go back to work full time knowing my daughter was in great hands. What I'm trying to say is that nurseries don't just help the young children, they help the parents too. For this, I thank you and all the staff.

We have 3 children who attend this nursery and they absolutely love it! My eldest child has attended the nursery for 3 and a half years and my youngest two for 2 years and from the first day when I left them I have never once worried because everyone is so welcoming and lovely. They are all like an extended family to us. The way the kids have progressed is a credit to the care, attention and learning that they receive here. It'll be a very sad day when it is time for them to leave.

Our son has been at O&L for a year and a half and both myself and my partner are extremely happy with the nursery as a whole. There is so much I could say about O&L, but I'll just comment on a few of the things. The staff are brilliant and genuinely care and take an interest in the individual needs of each of the children in their care - they keep parents well informed and involved in their child's nursery experience. The space given to each age group is great and continually planned and changed around to suit the children (as well as having a great outdoors area). The children are provided with great learning opportunities through active and play based learning that consider the children's needs and interests as well as looking at the wider community and issues. Most importantly, the nursery looks carefully at the development of the whole child and really works hard to ensure that children are well equipped for a life of learning - what more could you ask for for your child.

I have been very happy with the care provided at the nursery over the 4 years my daughter has attended. I am very impressed with the staff, they are approachable and friendly, and they clearly enjoy their work. The staff set boundaries, and they react appropriately to the demands and challenges they encounter.
The children learn so much through the day to day interactions they have with other children, and they are always supervised and given guidance and instruction. I have always been confident that my daughter is safe, and well looked after.

My child has only just started this month and is currently only attending one full day per week. Nursery staff have always been friendly, helpful and the children always seem to respond positively to them. I receive regular daily reports on my child and their day at nursery which I find very useful as I know what she has eaten, what she has played with etc.

I can't fault this nursery one bit, all of the girls are honest and extremely hard working. My son has loved every minute of being there and I am so relaxed at my work knowing my son is very well looked after. The girls at Rosebank are an absolute credit to the company.

Lovely friendly staff, very welcoming and caring. Couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to look after my little girl. Always give you a daily update of what your child has done and eaten. Very encouraging staff to help your little one progress.

My two children have been to this nursery for 2 year now my youngest was only 4 month old when he started so I was worried about leaving him so young but the staff were great and made me feel more comfortable about leaving him, I couldn't imagine them at another nursery! All the staff are lovely and my kids love it!

My daughter has been attending Rosebank since August 2014 and I've never had any problem, the management and staff are brilliant, always a different range of activities for the kid's, also the meals provided are always healthy and of different varieties! I know both myself and my daughter will miss everyone dearly when she moves on to school next year.
