The Review Score of 8.8 (maximum of 10) for New Life Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for New Life Pre-School in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 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 4.917 for New Life Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.917
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 3.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for New Life Pre-School is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.375
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

I have been sending my two children to New Life since 2013. The nursery staff are friendly, nurturing and child-focused. They ensure the children have fun whilst learning in a clean and exciting environment. Be reassured this is far the best nursery I have found in the area. My daughters absolutely love it here and I will always be very grateful for the support that has been provided.

I send both of my girls here. They absolutely love it. The staff are fantastic and very informative. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. One of my daughters attends speech and language therapy and the nursery have been involved with this to progress her speech. The kid's love(d) attending. Keep up the good work ladies.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Joanne H (Mother of Child) on Friday 9 March 2018. Relates to March 2018.
I have been sending my children to this nursery since 2012 and have always been very happy with the care they have received. Staff genuinely want the best for the children and are happy to spend time keeping parents informed of the child's activities during the day. Meals are good and the children are given independence to serve themselves. The ethos of the nursery is Christian, and also about what's natural for children, so they have the opportunity to learn and play in a calming physical environment (natural colours, materials etc). Much of the learning and play is child-led and staff encourage parent participation (e.g. uploading information about the child's week at home to the secure website) so that children's home interests can be followed through in nursery. On this same website, parents can see the observations that have been made in nursery. My children have always been very happy here. I would undoubtedly recommend this nursery to anyone.
