Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since beginning nursery, our little boy has learnt so much and settled in really well thanks to caring staff and their flexibility. We were initially worried about how he would settle but he now strolls into nursery himself with so much confidence. He always has lots of fun and new activities to do
and we love hearing how he is getting on through the app.

My daughter is very happy schooling with this nursery. She wakes up early every day and prepares for school. This shows that she is so excited and happy with all the teachers and the environment. I am happy for her development. I can't thank the nursery staff enough. May they continue with this spirit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After my daughter being at a nursery we were highly disappointed with, we then took her to Children 1st @ Bilborough where she was welcomed and cared for with outstanding care.
My daughter has special relationships with certain girls and I am very happy and feel she's in a safe environment when I'm
at work.
I love reading her diary at the end of the day knowing what her days have been like and love reviews on eylog about her whilst I'm at work. I couldn't be happier with the level of care.

My 16-month-old daughter started at the nursery about 2 months ago, she absolutely loves it!
When dropping her off she now marches off into the rooms with just a quick wave and smiles back at me! Her development has come on leaps and bounds since she has been going here. I can’t praise the staff
here enough they are so attentive and have kept me informed of everything my daughter gets up too. Fantastic nursery!

My son has attended Children 1st @ Bilborough since Oct 2018. As the only baby currently they always ensure he is busy. The staff are amazing with him and he has built beautiful relationships with all.
He smiles all the time and I always receive notifications of what he is busy doing. He always has
lots of fun at nursery. I would highly recommend the whole nursery to all. The set out is beautiful, the resources are amazing and the staff are all brilliant!

The care is amazing here. All staff are lovely and my son loves all the staff and enjoys coming to nursery, he's always learning new things. Couldn't ask for a better nursery or staff.
Everything is excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School 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 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.896 for Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (524 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 584 Ratings = 4.896
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School is based on 49 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4, which has been reached with 49 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.
