My son has learnt a lot since joining the nursery. He eats really well here and enjoys the garden. He tells me all about the things he enjoys whilst he is here, especially likes the soft playroom. The staff are also friendly and easy to talk to.

Review from Lisa D (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have seen lots of improvements to the nursery since my child attended last September.
We were initially concerned about lots of staff changes and location changes but all of the improvements have reassured us.
My child is often very difficult in the mornings and staff always make a massive effort
to make my child and I feel better.
Communication is 100% better this was a real issue.

My son has come a long way since attending Spring Nursery Cedars. His speech has improved massively and he is now quick to make new friends. He very much enjoys his days spent at nursery and loves all of his teachers.

My daughter is very well cared for at Spring Nursery Cedars and loves attending her sessions. She is learning lots of new things all the time and the communication to us of how she is doing is very good. My daughter's diet at nursery is well varied and healthy.
My daughter has an excellent relationship
with her key worker.
We are extremely pleased with the nursery and at ease leaving our daughter here.

Staff are brilliant, my daughter enjoys going to the setting.
The food provided by the setting is amazing and they can get my daughter to eat more than I can at home.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.810) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Cedars 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 Spring Nursery Cedars is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 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 3.81 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Nursery Cedars is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.435
  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.
