Review from Gillian N (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot put into words how fantastic the staff and facilities are here.
The staff are very supportive of the children and every day there seems to be something different on for the student. Our daughter started at the beginning and has grown as the nursery has in numbers. This has not impacted on
the level of care at all from the early days of only a few children in the room. Each key worker is fantastic at knowing their individual children and they always pass relevant information on, even if it's a quick phone call or email to keep you up to date on how they are once they return to the nursery after illness.
I could not recommend them more.

Review from R B (Mother of Child) published on 5 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child joined the Nursery at LES in the autumn of 2016, having been at a different setting locally. She is utterly thriving there. The rooms are well set up, with high quality equipment and have clearly been designed with the children in mind.
Meals are nutritious and varied, and it is wonderful
that the kitchen feels part of the nursery, with children able to see the meals being prepared.
But most importantly the staff are caring, supportive and engaged with the children, encouraging them to explore their interests and learn through play, and caring for them as individuals.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to others.

My daughter started at The Nursery at the beginning of 2017. From day 1 my husband and I have been thrilled by the level of care and attention from the team. We were concerned about the transition from one nursery to another. There was no need to be. She has settled in beautifully and is so happy.

Our daughter settled into nursery quickly and sees it as her second home. The staff give her so much attention and she has made so much progress since joining last September. They plan from her interests and her creativity has just grown. We love the online learning journal- we feel we really know what
she is up too. She loved going into the nursery gym and using the parachute and ribbons.
The whole nursery is exemplary. We were impressed from our first visit and couldn't wait for her to start. You can really leave children there in confidence and know that safety is the highest priority.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Loughborough Nursery 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 Loughborough Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 192 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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Loughborough Nursery is based on 16 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.825
  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.
