Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is a lovely, positive, nurturing environment. It has fantastic equipment and facilities as well as benefitting from the extra facilities afforded to them by the school. The staff are second to none. They go above and beyond and genuinely care for the children. My son is so happy, settled
and content at nursery. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Kevin D (Father of Child) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending RGS Dodderhill nursery for the past year. From day one I saw my son thrive and start to engage with adults and other children. It is a fantastic nursery providing many opportunities for the children. The main nursery room is bright and well-organised, providing excellent fun
experiences both socially and academically, which prepare children for school. The staff are phenomenal, the care they provide and the constant interaction and adaptation of activities to the children’s needs is second to none. It is extremely child-focused. As the nursery is set within RGS Dodderhill school, the children have access to a forest school, sports hall and grounds. Additionally, being part of RGS Worcester family of schools there is strong, supportive management.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.571)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.571) out of 10 for RGS Dodderhill Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.971 for RGS Dodderhill Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.971
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for RGS Dodderhill Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 6 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.
