Review from G B (Father of Child) published on 16 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Flitwick Day Nursery provides a good education/learning environment for our children. They have been there since they were 11 months and most of the staff have made them feel so welcome it is like a second home (even asking for the staff when at home). Meals are very good and dietary needs are well
catered for. The parent communication app is excellent and allows you to communicate directly with the members of staff who care for your child. Our child has developed so much - socially, personally and in all areas of the curriculum- sharing nicely, beautiful table manners, lots of songs and rhymes learned and a new word or two every day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Flitwick Day Nursery has been amazing since my daughter has started back when she was 9 months old! Now she is 18 months and she is thriving with the help of staff and loves playing with the other children. The staff really take into account what your targets are for your child, as well as what they
observe! The app they use is amazing, which gives you updates throughout the day, and as a first time mum it has been so reassuring! Would highly recommend the nursery to everyone and thank you to the manager and the team for an amazing job you do every day!

My son has been attending nursery since he was 15 months and he’s now 3 1/2 and still loves it! I’ve always had great communication from the staff, seeing the photos and activities they do is a lovely touch. It’s been great to see how my child has grown and developed over the years and has made some
lovely friendships.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter recently started at the nursery and absolutely loves it! She runs in every day excited and is always coming home telling me about the wonderful things she has been up to! The staff are friendly and approachable, nothing is ever too much! The nursery itself is clean, welcoming and decorated
with children’s art! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Fabulous and Friendly... my son loves his time at this nursery... I struggle to get a kiss from him in the mornings as he is eager to go and play. The staff are all warm and welcoming and it's very comforting to know that my son is being looked after in an environment which is safe, caring and a place
of fun which he enjoys.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Flitwick Day Nursery 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.942 for Flitwick Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.942
  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 4.852 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Flitwick Day Nursery is based on 16 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.952
  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.
