a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.583 for Midford Road Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (15 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.583
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.583 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Midford Road Nursery is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 6 positive Reviews (30 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 6 Target = 0.333

My son has thrived over the last two years at Midford Road Nursery. The care is excellent and they have a lovely approach and attitude.
The focus is on creative play and they aim to take the children out most days to the park, farm, ivy house, theatre and have a wonderful outdoor field and wood nearby.
The mix of babies, toddler and preschool is perfect and although they have their own spaces, I think blending them together works really well.

Midford Road Nursery has been fantastic in settling and caring for my daughter. The staff are supportive, innovative and motivated. This results in a wonderful atmosphere for the children.
The children are always kept busy, going on daily excursions to the woods, parks and allotments. The free flow environment means the children are free to make their own choices in terms of play and can learn from the older preschool children.
I can't rate them highly enough. Any child would be lucky to go there.
