Review from Anne M (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two year old daughter only started in the toddler room in May 2016 but I have been incredibly impressed by everything at the nursery. When she first started, I assumed she would only stay until she started at school nursery at three but now I'm looking into her staying there as long as possible.


Every

staff member I have met, has been so kind and caring. From day one I have felt comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. She loves going to nursery, talking about her friends and what she does there on her non-nursery days. The small class size in her room means she knows everyone.


Her speech and social skills have come on hugely in such a short time. I really would recommend Loretto Nursery to anyone.

My child has only been attending for a few months however, in this time he has shown signs of development which I am extremely happy with. The staff are very welcoming and supportive. I have been very happy with the nursery so far.

Review from M-L O'D (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has had an extremely positive pre-school year at the Loretto Nursery. The attention to his care and education has been second to none in a relaxed, happy, cheerful, well-equipped and suitably furnished modern nursery environment a stones throw away from the Loretto Junior School campus. The
dedication and enthusiasm of the staff is apparent every day with experienced, skilled nursery teaching and calm leadership clearly being key ingredients to its success. We were confident that each day we were leaving our son in safe hands and that everything was being done to prepare him for the next step - starting school. Our thanks to the manager and her team for all that they have done.

Review from Mihirini S (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son settled into the nursery quickly and easily, and he seems to be enjoying his time there. For me, this is the strongest proof of the quality of the nursery. If I could suggest any improvement at all, that would be include some messy play activities in the child's days.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.799) out of 10 for Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 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 4.819 for Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.819
  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 3.98 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.8 = 0.38
  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.
