Review from Will G (Father of Child) published on 7 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been going to the Muswell Hill Preschool for approaching a year and we couldn't be happier. After reviewing many nurseries / kindergarten / preschools, we felt confident that our little girl would flourish here and we have been justified in our decision. The staff's warmth, care and
dedication as well as her development has been really reassuring. We have built such a strong relationship with the team and our little girl just adores her time and friends. The food is diverse, healthy and nutritious. The facilities are spotlessly clean, modern and innovative and you get a real sense of family within the Preschool. We have recently had a second girl and the pre-school have gone out of their way to support us with that transition as a family. We would have no hesitation in recommending. An outstanding team of staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son started in September 2020 and due to covid, his social and communication development was falling behind. This last year, his mentors/staff have taken the time to put a plan of action together to help him develop these skills further and since putting this plan into action his ability at communicating
verbally has significantly improved.

Review from Carla R (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I felt very reluctant to send my son to nursery until I came across The Muswell Hill Preschool – it was the only nursery I visited, that I felt excited about sending my baby to at only 11 months old. I thought it was the right place for us from our initial show, due to the staff's professionalism and
dedication – besides the great environment. This only confirms after starting and I can genuinely believe my son feels respected, loved, safe and inspired, with fun. He loves the food as well, besides having an egg allergy, which the staff takes very seriously! The team have made our son very settled, respecting his adjustment time and he adores his key worker and the support team. We are pleased to work together with the nursery, giving our son the same message at home and the nursery in terms of validating his feelings, respecting his time and letting him lead the way whenever possible. We are delighted we found them and hope to have our son there for the rest of his nursery duration.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.140)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.140) out of 10 for The Muswell Hill Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.574 for The Muswell Hill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.574
  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 4.566 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Muswell Hill Day Nursery is based on 12 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.566
  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.
