The Review Score of 5 (maximum of 10) for The Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0 out of 5 from 0 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 5 for The Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 5
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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Nursery is based on 0 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
0 = 0
Target of 20 positive Reviews (100 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 0 Reviews ÷ 20 Target = 0
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
The Nursery has a Review Score of 5 (5.000)

Extremely happy with The Nursery. All staff are friendly and attentive. They all make an effort to make both myself and my son feel welcome upon arrival. I felt at ease leaving my son with them from day one due to the staff and great facilities. Meals/snacks are great. My son enjoys the activities on offer such as painting, playdoh and especially the garden. It's really nice that they go out walking with the children to various locations. Would highly recommend.

We've used two different nurseries for personal reasons, and these had a tough job as we were really pleased with our previous nursery and they were amazing.
Their focus on learning is exquisite, the focus on the detail is something we have been so impressed with.
Our child's learning has drastically accelerated since she has been here and I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

The Nursery is a wonderfully safe, clean, educational and calm environment for our daughter. Staff are professional, friendly and caring. Everything is of the highest standards, including the food choices, activities and feedback and progress reports to parents. By far the best nursery and daycare facility in the area and our daughter absolutely loves attending. We couldn't be happier!
