The Review Score of 8.9 (maximum of 10) for First Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for First Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 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 4.917 for First Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.917
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 3.994 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Day Nursery is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 16.4 positive Reviews (82 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 16.4 Target = 0.244
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Kids friendly nursery. Staff are very professional with approachable and flexible management. Children always appear happy when I go in. My daughter loves going to nursery and has made so much progress since she joined the nursery. She is always happy to go to nursery and she loves the food.
The nursery is extremely clean and very well maintained. It has enough resources for kids' development. I am so happy that I found this nursery for my daughter.

The First Day Nursery is a lovely place for our little one to have fun, learn and develop.
He is so excited each morning to go to his nursery and play with his friends including his caretakers.
It feels really good to be greeted and treated so warmly by all the staff there.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to all those parents who are looking for a safe, clean and fun place for their children.

This is my child's first nursery. He starts going to nursery at age 3. So we were worried initially that it will be difficult for him to adjust. But staff are experts in their field and they handled it well.
They have given special care to my child and make him very comfortable.
We are happy that we choose FirstDay Nursery for our child and definitely recommend to others.

My child started to go to this nursery from the opening. My child is very happy to be there. Since she started to go on this nursery her speech has progressed a lot, she loves the food given. In the nursery, everything is organised on the way I do for my child at home! I am very happy and would strongly recommend!
