Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Could not have chosen a better preschool for my daughter. From day one, the staff have been incredible, involved and always enthusiastic. They always have smiles on their faces. My daughter always comes home saying how much fun she has had and always loves going to preschool. She actually jumps about
shouting yay! You have all been fantastic, and I'm so sad we can't take all the staff with us to big school. Thank you for everything.

My son has been at Swineshead since he was 2, he has loved every day. The staff are all so friendly and feel me with confidence. My son has loved his time that he spent in the Forest School and the messy activities that the ladies have planned. The ladies have supported my son in whatever he has done
but also made sure he achieves and develops, to make sure he is ready for school. We will miss the friendly welcoming and happy staff.

What a fantastic preschool all three of my children have been here. I live in a different village which it would have been more convenient to send them to, however, the fact I drove each day out of my way for them to go to Swineshead preschool speaks volumes!! I can’t thank each and everyone of the
staff enough they’re incredible!!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.481)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.481) out of 10 for Swineshead Pre-School Centre 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Swineshead Pre-School Centre is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 5
  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 3.481 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Swineshead Pre-School Centre is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.231
  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.
