Review from Julia M (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two boys have been at Shepherds since it opened in 2010. The staff are amazing and they have gone over and above their duties on many occasions to make the boys feel loved, safe and secure. The boys now attend The Break and they thoroughly enjoy the activities and outdoor space. I would highly recommend
Shepherds Daybreak. Many of the staff are long running members (which speaks volumes) and they do a brilliant job and they will always have our support. Thank You!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.894) out of 10 for Partou Shepherds Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.833 for Partou Shepherds Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.833
  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 4.061 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Shepherds Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 7 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 = 3.6
    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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.461
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2015

I have worked at Daybreak since 2015 starting as a student while completing my level 3 nursery nurse qualification. I then went on to become the room leader of the preschool. Throughout my years of experience, I have developed my knowledge in Special Educational Needs work, supporting children to reach their individual next steps and building partnerships with outside agencies.
In 2018, I started my BA Hons degree in early childhood studies which I proudly graduated in 2021. Taking on a degree while working full-time taught me skills which I find very useful today. It has given me a wider knowledge and awareness of early years, discovering new ways to enhance children’s learning and understanding of how early brain development is influenced.


In 2021, I became a deputy manager at one of our other nurseries in High Wycombe. When I heard that the deputy manager position had become available here at Daybreak, I jumped at the chance of coming back, now becoming the nursery manager.


I am very fond of Daybreak; it was the nursery I attended when I was younger. It has been such an amazing journey seeing the transformation of this wonderful setting. The changes to the nursery environment and the way the children have adapted have been truly inspiring. My aim is to create an outstanding nursery setting for the children.
The staffing team here are incredibly fond of the nursery too. They also inspire to create of a warm, welcoming environment in which the children are able to thrive. They make the nursery feel like a home away from home feeling for both the children and the families.
