The Review Score of 7.4 (maximum of 10) for Helter Skelter 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 7 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Helter Skelter Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.5 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no 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 4.905 for Helter Skelter Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.905
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 2.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Helter Skelter Nursery is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 4.8 positive Reviews (24 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 4.8 Target Reached = 1 , then divided by 2 = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Helter Skelter Nursery has a Review Score of 7.4 (7.405)

My Son has been attending Helter Skelter nursery since September 2016 and I have been thoroughly impressed from day one. Although my son settled in quite quickly, on the first morning he did cry a little I was delighted to find a message before I had even arrived at work to say that he was fine and now off playing quite happily. I really like that the team has a flexible plan of topics they cover with the children which they integrate into various activities. I also love that the children are regularly out and about visiting the local park, beach and town. All in all, it's lovely nursery where I feel my son is extremely well taken care of right down to the healthy hot lunch he receives at lunchtime. The staff are wonderful and the set up of the nursery and the hours they offer have been great for our son and our family as a whole. I would therefore highly recommend Helter Skelter Nursery.

My child has just started at the Helter Skelter Nursery but I couldn't wish for anything better he loves it. Staff are amazing and have made him settle in with ease. Couldn't rate this nursery and its staff enough.

I am extremely pleased with how proactive the nursery has been in identifying my son's additional needs and, subsequently, seeking the relevant support promptly.
The staff and management are approachable and friendly so I have felt I can ask any questions I may have.
They foster an inclusive and welcoming environment, which has put my son at ease whilst settling in.
They have also gone out of their way to cater to his food intolerances, which I realise must have taken time and research!

Helter Skelter been amazing with my little boy, he loves it there.
He was a little boy who was very attached to me and wouldn't go to anyone else but since he's been here, he waves me goodbye and gives me a kiss and happily goes and plays.
They are kind, caring and always keeping me informed and up to date with everything. I couldn't praise them enough.
