Review from Nel T (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been with A Step Ahead Shoreham since he was 8 months old. He has learnt so much and has been nurtured and encouraged by the staff who have helped shape him into an intelligent, kind and happy little boy. He is now in the pre-school room with his keyworker who is doing a wonderful job of
preparing him and the other children for school next year. The premises is very spacious and split into three well-sized rooms beside each other with a lovely big outdoor space for the children to spend a lot of time in. The nursery is like a little family and we know that our child’s learning and wellbeing is their number one priority. Our youngest will be joining them in a month and there is no other nursery in Shoreham that we would even consider sending them to.
Reply from David Hancock, CEO at Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-schoolWow, what a wonderful review, thank you Nel.
It's our pleasure to care for your children and I am super happy to know you rate us so highly.
My team of amazing practitioners will be so pleased to read your comments.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at the nursery in September 2020 for 2 days a week and from the first contact, the manager and rest of staff were really helpful and provided us with all the information we could need, unlike some other nurseries we had spoken to. Settling sessions were handled brilliantly and they
give us plenty of feedback about my daughter's activities for the day. My daughter loves the nursery and is thriving here.
Reply from David Hancock, CEO at Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThanks for writing a five-star review for our wonderful team at the Shoreham nursery.
I am really pleased to hear we helped with the settling process so well - it is delightful to know your daughter loves the nursery so much.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery staff are always friendly and welcoming and my daughter always enjoys her time there, they don't mind you asking questions or querying anything. Recently I needed to place my daughter in for extra days at short notice and they were more than happy to help out which meant a lot at the time.

We all really like our nursery. My son has such a great time every day is full of play, learning and new friendships. I'm extremely grateful for their care about my son’s food allergies, he is safe and happy there and I'm calm without worries.
Thank you indeed, happy days.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.982 for Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.982
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
