  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.708 for Bright Sparks Day Nursery Belfast is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.708

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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:

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    The 3.395 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Sparks Day Nursery Belfast is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:

    1. 3 + 0.25 = 3.25

    2. Target of 13.8 positive Reviews (69 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 13.8 Target = 0.145

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Report

Review submitted from a Website Submission by (Mother of Child) on Thursday 4 May 2017. Relates to May 2017.

When I returned to work last year I was really anxious about leaving my son for the first time. The staff at Bright Sparks put my worries at ease with a settling in period that allowed my son to build a relationship with his key worker and get used to spending time away from me.
This meant that once I was back to work full time I knew he was happy to be left in Bright Sparks as he was so well looked after.
Every day I pick him up he is playing away, professional interacting with staff and other babies.

The staff in Bright Sparks are always smiling and seem to really enjoy what they do. I have found everyone I met to be professional and passionate about delivering good care to the children.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any friends or family.

Brilliant day nursery, my son went in on his first day without a problem, no tears or being upset. Went to pick him up a bit early and could see how happy he was playing and interacting with staff and other children!
