Review from Marija C (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son had attended Oxford's British Orchard Nursery for 2-years, including during the pandemic. I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are incredibly patient, attentive and loving. My son has had a wonderful time here and has learned so much. The nursery is open and bright, with a wonderful
outdoor space and room for lots of different activities. There are also two rabbits that the children take care of (under supervision, of course). The in-house cook makes delicious meals that my son wants to re-create at home. Every member of staff knows my son really well, and it is obvious they care about him very much. He is now moving on to primary school, but I know the attention and care he has received at Oxford's British Orchard Nursery will have an impact for the rest of his life.
Reply from Celine Sutton, Nursery Manager at Oxford's British Orchard NurseryThank you for your kind words.
We have loved caring for your son; it has been lovely watching him grow into a lovely little man over the years. We wish you all the best!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.642)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.642) out of 10 for Oxford's British Orchard Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.792 for Oxford's British Orchard Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.792
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oxford's British Orchard Nursery is based on 14 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 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

With over 15 years of experience in Childcare, it has always been my dream to run a provision that really provides a 'home away from home' feel. British Orchard Nursery is just that; where learning opportunities are provided at every level and to suit every child's individual needs. My aim is for families, their children and my staff to build such a bond that they remain in contact years down the line, with fond and fun memories of their learning journey here.
