Review from Malcolm Y (Father of Child) published on 17 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My high praise for this nursery starts from the top. The management has a clear vision of what it needs and wants to achieve and most importantly this is fed down and through to every level of staffing and care. My two children have been allowed to develop both together and independently. Communication
from the nursery is continually improving and our questions have always been answered promptly and appropriately. There is always a friendly face on hand at the start or end of the day. The nursery benefits from ample outdoor space which was important to us. The best recommendation would be from the children themselves, who bound down the path and back again each day they are at nursery.

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: 9.0 (9.030)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.030) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.854 for Partou Shepherds Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.854
  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 4.176 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Shepherds Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 8 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 = 3.65
    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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.526
  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.
