Review from Tahnee O (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
So, so glad I found this nursery for my daughter. All the staff are amazing with her, and she calls her key workers her best friends. She is excited to go every day and has made many friends already. She develops and learns new things daily, and they really have a huge variety of activities for the
children to partake in. The food always smells amazing, and my daughter is now eating more healthy food that she would never have tried at home. So happy with this nursery, and I have no worries about leaving her there every day. The fact I can log in to the nursery camera at any time of the day to watch my daughter really is the icing on top of the cake.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.143) out of 10 for Tinky's Day 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.976 for Tinky's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.976
  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 4.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tinky's Day Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.467
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2021

I hold a BA(HONS) degree in Early Childhood Studies and have over 10 years of experience working in the Early Years sector. When I first graduated I began working in a nursery as a nursery practitioner and gradually worked my way up to become a manager. Throughout this journey, I have gained invaluable skills and knowledge from various professionals that I am proud to share with my staff team.


I am committed to providing a safe, fun and stimulating environment for all children in my setting. My dedicated staff team and I are passionate about sparking children's creativity, imagination and curiosity through carefully planned learning opportunities.


I have always worked in the Early Years sector and I believe that there is nothing more rewarding than watching children thrive and reach their full potential.
