Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Pros:


Competitively Priced.


Modern nursery with parent portal tracking day's progress.


All toys, fixtures and fittings are brand new, so everything is fresh, engaging and does not look tattered or tired.


A variety of activities.


Accepts child care vouchers via Computershare.


Good parking.


Cons:


The

baby area on ground floor is hard flooring which is not kind to delicate baby knees and or feet when crawling. There are some rugs and cushions scattered however a fall on a hard floor is not good.


Nursery feels chilly/cold and has this minimalist feeling.


The nursery has no character.


Must provide pre-measured milk bottles.


Relationship lacking between Nursery and Parents. (Sometimes you get the feeling staff are running off a script/tick box exercise.)


Even with months of notice you still have to pay nursery fees for the time taken off.


No events.


This Nursery has a promising future and needs to mature which will come in time. We are happy so far and would not be looking anywhere else for the time being.

Reply from Anna Sarginson, Director of Communications and Development at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank)Thank you for your review of Minibugs Nursery Wincobank.

It is really important for us to receive feedback from our parents / carers so that we can continually improve our nursery care and environment.

Your comments were helpful as it has highlighted that it might be useful to give some further background to the operational arrangements in the nursery so that you can feel comfortable that everything you refer to has been previously considered to ensure we provide a safe, caring and happy environment for all our mini people.

We will provide further information directly on any points which have not already been addressed.

We are delighted with the overwhelming positive feedback we have been receiving from our registered parents / carers and look forward to working in partnership with all our families to support the children’s learning and development journey

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.864 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank) is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.864
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank) is based on 19 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
