Review from Fiona A (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery and pre-school. My boy has been so happy there, made some great friends and the staff are all wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. He has taken part in a huge range of activities and as parents, we have been regularly informed of his progress via EYlog. The atmosphere is very caring-each
child is treated as an individual. We shall be really sad in a few weeks when our boy leaves but incredibly grateful that he gained so much from this outstanding place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Returning to work after having my son was a huge and difficult decision, however, Big Top Nursery have gone above and beyond in supporting my son into settling in there. Big Top Nursery provides a safe, caring and simulating environment and I have complete trust that my son is well cared for. All the
staff know and understand him as an individual, and genuinely care about his well-being. His Key Worker has been amazing at supporting his development and we feel very well informed with everything he is doing on a daily basis and communication is excellent. All the staff are incredibly approachable and always take time to speak to us during pick-ups and drop offs. My son has thrived since starting at Big Top and has learnt so much, every day is packed with lots of activities and from the videos and pictures that are emailed to us, it appears he loves every minute! I really couldn't ask for anything more.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.017)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.017) out of 10 for Big Top Nursery (Waddesdon) 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.931 for Big Top Nursery (Waddesdon) is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.931
  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 4.086 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Big Top Nursery (Waddesdon) is based on 6 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 = 3.55
    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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.536
  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.
