Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Took extra care to settle my little one in who took a little longer to settle. He loves spending time at the Twizzle Tops Day Nursery Basildon and is always happy playing when I pick him up. Staff are always polite, helpful, welcoming and friendly. Always good feedback of how my little one has spent
his afternoon. Good choice of menu for dinner. Excellent communication between myself and the management and always receive a quick response to emails when I contact. My little one has built a good relationship with the nursery staff and although he may get a little upset me leaving I know he will be absolutely fine and is in good hands as they know exactly how to make him feel better.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Twizzle Tops Day Nursery Basildon since he was 18months old, he is now 3. He absolutely loves it and the staff, he learns something new every day and has come along way. The staff are so accommodating and I feel so at ease with them, it's like leaving my son with family. We
have built such a fantastic relationship with the staff that it will be very sad when my son leaves to go to school.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.141)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.141) out of 10 for Twizzle Tops Day Nursery Basildon 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.875 for Twizzle Tops Day Nursery Basildon is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875
  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 3.266 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Twizzle Tops Day Nursery Basildon is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.141
  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.
