Review from Ally S (Nanny Carer of Child) published on 23 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sleepy Hollow offers a high quality of care and education to children. The whole setting is a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the staff are of high professionalism and have good qualities of knowledge of child development and also have sound knowledge of how children develop through play.
They also
understand the need for observation and how to link children's personal styles and outlooks into their daily planning and help encourage children to expand their own imagination and play opportunities.
I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow as a nursery setting to anyone looking for quality care.

Sleepy Hollow is a great nursery. They keep parents informed through nursery PAL, Facebook, you Tube and web page. Management and staff are fantastic, always a welcoming smile, even at the end of a hard day's work. I am very impressed by the multicultural ethos.

I have 2 children. They both started this nursery when they were babies. It was very hard as we are from another country but now they are very good. We love this nursery because they have lots of friends and we love the staff because they always help when needed.

My daughter has attended Sleepy Hollow since Jan 2016. I really can't recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are excellent, facilities are outstanding and the Reggio approach is brilliant. My daughter loves coming to nursery and as I said Sleepy Hollow is the best nursery in the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Sleepy Hollow since she was 9 months old and has made my life so much easier. Sleepy Hollow is fantastic, I love the whole Reggio Emilia approach that they use. Love how the children use natural resources to play with and love lots of open natural outdoor space. My daughter
loves Sleepy Hollow, especially the Donkey. I would highly recommend to anyone. They also have their All Ireland Centre of Excellence. Fantastic achievement.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Crumlin 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.886 for Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Crumlin is calculated as follows: ( (319 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.886
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Crumlin is based on 30 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 30 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.
