Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandaugher started at jandsplayhouse in February 25 and this is the best decision thather mother made for her after visiting and attending several nurseries. She is so happy and learning so much. The staff are all trained in various subjects to meet the Early Years, and this makes me happy.

Review from Andrea T (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
J&S Playhouse is a great nursery to send your child to. When my child started there in January 2021 at the age of 3, he had a severe speech and language condition. You could not hear what he says clearly because he was still babbling like a baby. He was receiving speech and language therapy. SEN officers
and the Pre-school team work very hard with my son, and by the time he left for Primary school in September 2021, he was talking very clearly! One lady taught my son my full name! He advanced so much, he knows all his letters, can count up to 100, all the colours, planets, days of the week, names of dinosaurs, months of the year and could, knows his full name and can write very well. J&S Playhouse makes sure your child achieve their full potentials in all 7-areas of the curriculum. I have no regrets and is very proud of J&S Playhouse.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.965) out of 10 for J&S Playhouse is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.833 for J&S Playhouse is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.833
  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 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for J&S Playhouse is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.132
  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.
