Home From Home - The Nannery Ltd concentrates on life skills as opposed to classroom schooling.
The children are able to enjoy incredible opportunities inside and outside of the nursery.
The indoor space is free flow, the children’s days are relaxed and the activities are planned to encourage their overall development. The learning opportunities are incorporated into the children’s play and this combining with the warmth of the nursery allows them to settle into an environment helping them to feel secure and comfortable.
Their aim is to provide children with a 'home-from-home and to see children thrive in fun and laughter. While offering children a happy and inviting place to have fun with others; in environments that are homely, comfortable, stimulating and exciting.
Staff promote traditional values and fun, such as: home cooked food, regular outings and small, friendly play groups.

a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Riverside Nursery - Home from Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.2 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no 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 4.986 for The Riverside Nursery - Home from Home is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.986
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. 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:
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.
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.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 2.188 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Riverside Nursery - Home from Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 16 positive Reviews (80 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 16 Target = 0.375 , then divided by 2 = 0.188
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

I love the nursery. My daughter is learning so much. She loves coming and seeing her friends. The staff are lovely and accommodating to needs. The place is clean and warm. There are always changing activities and toys. I love receiving work she has done. She has come along so much since starting here 1 1/2 years ago at 1 and a half. Would never change her even though we have moved and I would recommend to others.

From the first day, we absolutely loved this nursery, everything from the food, toys, learning and first the overall experience my son had. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough. The hours are great with the flexible selection. I love the constant updates on the tapestry and the way the staff always listen to key points and work on them with the children. My son and I adore it here and will be sad when it's time to leave.

My daughter loves the nursery- staff are very friendly and welcoming. My child has learnt a lot since coming here- how to count - how to spell her name.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Georgia L (Mother of Child) on Friday 24 February 2017. Relates to February 2017.
My son settled in within seconds of starting here. I have always felt so relaxed and comfortable leaving him with the staff here. He often asks if he can see his friends and the staff at home from home when we are at home. We have had nothing but a fantastic experience so far here and I would be happy to recommend anyone sending their children here. We both love it.
