Review from Michaela H (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It gives me so much happiness knowing my son is in this amazing setting. He is so looked after, the staff are welcoming, knowledgable, and maternal. It is evident they are so happy in their jobs, and that they have amazing relationships with parents and children. The learning environment is outstanding,
they have workshops where children are given the opportunity to explore their skills and creativity, a climbing wall, lego wall, not to mention thousands of other stimulating activities and resources. I can't thank the team enough for looking after my boy so well every day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been extremely happy with the service at Hitchin House Day nursery. Communication from management is excellent, especially through the ongoing changes with our current Covid-19 climate. Staff are friendly, cooperative and clearly have a passion for caring for our little ones. The environment
and resources are fab and my son loves the messy play activities. All in all, it's been a very reassuring and stress-free experience returning to work and sending my son into their care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Hitchin House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 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 4.948 for Hitchin House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.948
  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 Hitchin House Day Nursery is based on 21 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.875
  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.
