Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really like the nursery and the staff as the nursery itself has a lot to offer for the children, lots for them to do - singing, painting, drawing, sensory play, indoors and outdoors. All the staff are lovely, very friendly and kind and welcoming and you can see all the children really love them and
being here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For months I have been looking for a good nursery which my son will like and be happy there. I moved recently to Hanwell town and I was worried that I would find a nursery near my home. I found Hungry Caterpillar Hanwell it is a really wonderful nursery. I recommend all mother's in Hanwell to take place
for their children in that nursery. They are very welcoming, the staff are honest and professional. I am really impressed. They give a lot of help and support to my child.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.575) out of 10 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Hanwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.700 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Hanwell is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.7
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Hanwell is based on 15 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 = 3.875
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
