The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 33 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 17 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 4.719 for IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood is calculated as follows: ( (300 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 392 Ratings = 4.719
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 10.4 positive Reviews (52 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 17 Reviews ÷ 10.4 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.719)

My son loves attending this setting. Both my husband and I love to see him interacting with children and the nursery staff. At the end of each day, we are always briefed on how the day went for our son, what he ate etc.

I would highly recommend IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood. Since my daughter began in preschool over a year ago, she has grown so much in confidence and learnt so much through play. She enjoys going to nursery and loves to come home and tell me about all of the new projects that the children have been looking at, the activities she has taken part in and the friends that she has been playing with.
The staff are all so welcoming to both the children and parents, nothing is too much trouble. There is always good communication from the staff whenever I collect my daughter to tell me about the day she has had.

Very impressed with babies and toddlers. Slightly less so with preschool due to freq staff variations and consequential lower confidence of child with staff. Have noticed vastly accelerated learning of child compared to the previous child at a different nursery. Appears to be a wider variety of learning experiences such as yoga and go-go beans. Also lovely outdoor space.

I changed my son from a playgroup to IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood as I felt they were not listening to me or my worries as a mother regarding my son having suspected autism. Since being there he has come on well has a good relationship with the staff. His younger brother also started January with no concerns at all. He loves going in and comes out telling me he has done even shows me his yoga moves.

This nursery has great potential, the majority of the staff are friendly and will do anything in their powers to help.
Our daughter attends and is very happy and will continue to attend until she starts school.
IntoPlay seems to have a communication problem and things can get lost in translation between staff and parents - this can cause unneeded upset and stress to parents and children.
Overall, the nursery is fantastic and we are very happy with the service the nursery has provided; they also provide ongoing support to our daughter who has multiple allergies (with of course a few hiccups along the way). Our daughter is very bright and very demanding and the staff deal with that incredibly well and we value the work they do in supporting our daughter.

Lovely clean modern and up to date nursery.
The staff are lovely and always give me a run through of what my daughter has done and eaten etc that day which I think is a must.
We always see work and activities they have done in the day.
My daughter has learnt so much in the last year here and she loves going!

From our very first tour of the facility, we had a great feeling about the nursery. The staff have lovely relationships with the children and it’s obvious that the children are safe, happy and trust their carers implicitly. The settling in process was thorough and ensured that our son gradually got used to his new surroundings and was able to get to know the adults who would look after him. We are so impressed with how well the staff have got to know our son and how they use their knowledge of his personality and interests to plan activities for him. Handovers are precise and thorough, thanks to succinct records, which are updated throughout the day. The nursery is always striving to improve and we are kept informed of any changes. We have regular and easy access to the learning journey, which is updated frequently and displays a range of photographs, assessments and observations. We are so lucky to have found Into Play and would not hesitate to recommend them to other parents.

I leave my children knowing they are in safe hands and with staff that are professional and genuinely care. All the member are staff are so lovely and the manager is extremely helpful, friendly and will do anything to help.
My children have come so far with the help of the IntoPlay Day Nursery staff. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Great nursery!
I moved my son here after standards at his previous nursery had slipped. I was a bit apprehensive as I didn’t want to unsettle him. However with thanks to the great staff he settled in straight away and loves going to nursery. I know he enjoys himself as he looks forward to going, he has made friends and looks forward to seeing staff members. I only wished I had moved him sooner!
Staff are friendly, work hard and are brilliant with the children!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to others

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Paula (Mother of Child) on Friday 5 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
My daughter has been attending Into Play Barnwood for 15 months and she absolutely loves going there. The staff were very supportive whilst we settled her in and during the later transition from the under 2-year-old room to the 2-3-year-old room. I am impressed that they are keen to work with parents to help the child's development and deliver a good standard of care, and they act on feedback given.
My daughter is an only child and Into Play has helped her learn how to interact with other children, to share toys, to sit and listen during story time and even how to be a bit more gentle with younger children. All invaluable skills which I, as a parent, don't have the opportunity to teach.
I would highly recommend IntoPlay!

Just wanted to write a review on how great my nursery is. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds ahead of her age all thanks to the time and development the staff give to her. She has made some amazing friends, she eats so much better and it's a clean and healthy environment. Staff and management should be proud.

My son started at IntoPlay Barnwood in October 2016 and he settled in really well. He had three settling in session, to begin with, which allowed him to feel at ease with the staff and his new environment.
My son is very fond of his keyworker and often talks about the activities they do during the days, such as yoga and outdoor play.
Overall I'm very pleased with the staff, environment and activities that IntoPlay Barnwood provide.

Wonderful nursery and wonderful staff.
I have a child under 2 who is here full time. He is a happy confident child. He eats a full variety of healthy, homemade food every day. They carry out activities that you wish you could do at home but couldn't stomach the thought of cleaning up after. His development is on target if not ahead and I would credit a large part of that to the stimulation and social skills he picks up from nursery and his table manners are impressive.
I am happy with the staff. They really get to know your child and work with you when you choose to make small changes such as weaning or dropping naps. They are approachable when you need advice or if you need them to keep an eye on any concerns you have.
There isn't a negative thing I can say about the place, which is a good thing if you consider that my child spends a large percentage of his life there.

My little boy (20 months) is so happy and settled at Barnwood IntoPlay. The staff are brilliant, they have really strong bonds with the children which is lovely. I always arrive to find my little one having a good time. He is always bringing home bits he has made during activities and the staff are so thoughtful helping the children make things for special occasions like Christmas, Mothers Day etc. The regular nursery newsletters are great for keeping parents up to date with special occasions and general goings on.
I cannot fault the food, it is home made and I am regularly told my little one has had 3 servings of lunch! He obviously loves it! The nursery itself is a lovely, large building with big airy rooms and brightly decorated walls, there are more toys and activities than the kids know what to do with and they have a large garden to run around in with all sorts of toys and activities to play with.
Its such a lovely nursery and I have recommended IntoPlay to several friends.

A super nursery. My daughter is two and loves the days she spends here. I am now in the process of introducing my second daughter here before I return to work. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and the staff are super, they ensure that your child gets plenty of settling in sessions so that they are happy and ready when the time comes for you to leave them and go to work. Excellent management, the manager is very open, friendly and accommodating with all your needs.

My son appears happy, confident and keen to engage with all aspects of his day in nursery. He surprises me with increasing evidence of socialising skills and polite behaviour (he is only 3). The nursery staff communicate well and engage with my husband and I to optimise care and the learning journey my son is on. As a parent, I am pleased with my choice of nursery and I would definitely recommend IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood to any parent.

My son attends this nursery and is enjoying it very much. He loves all the staff and has already built up a great rapport with them. He doesn't even look back when I drop him off! He has only been going a few weeks and has already brought home a vast variety of things he's made. I am very happy that he is safe and secure. He's had a great range of meals and is utterly content with being there.

Very pleased with the nursery. They are very helpful and my son loves it there. He couldn't talk much but since hes been going there he has come out on his own and they are very understanding. All the staff are lovely and kind and they care of your children and they always want what best for them and to help them improve. I would differently tell my friend about the nursery to take their children there
