Review from Jenny C (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Explorers in September 2022. Since starting, he has been very happy and settled. The staff are lovely and welcoming. Our son is very shy and can be anxious at times. However, Explorers have been brilliant with him, and he's really coming out of his shell. The communication is fabulous,
and we are well-informed and often get sent pictures of what they are doing in the session. We are really happy with the preschool and highly recommend it.

Excellent. My 2-year-old son started nursery in September and since then he developed so much. At the beginning, he was speechless now he is talking so much and is more active, more involved in our daily activities. Well done and congratulations!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend this nursery and will be signing my daughter up too. The staff are friendly and helpful. They helped wean my son off his dummy and now his speech has rapidly improved as well as him learning to share with others. But more importantly, he absolutely loves it there and loves getting
ready and going to nursery - his excitement makes me a contented mother!

My daughter absolutely loved going here. Shes moved on to big school now, but she still talks about her time at the nursery constantly. Staff communication was amazing. The app is really helpful to know whats going on with the kids while theyre there for the day. Thank you!

Review from Arvinder K (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter had the best time here. She was well looked after and enjoyed every day. Staff are very attentive and caring. The app is brilliant in keeping you informed about exactly what your child has been learning/doing during the day - especially when your little one doesn't give much away! I also
have a nursery learning journey now as a keepsake to look back on in years to come.
Lots of lovely memories. Surprise Easter bunny appearance, cooking, singing, painting, outdoor visits, mud pies from mud kitchen, robot reg and a lovely graduation ceremony at the end. I loved that parking is just right on the door step which makes pick up and drop of a nice experience too. Finally, this place really prepared my daughter for big school. She is a quiet girl who struggled to leave my side in the beginning of nursery. The transition to big school was so smooth. Thank you Explorers.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.673)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10 for Explorers Gidea Park 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.923 for Explorers Gidea Park is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.923
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Explorers Gidea Park is based on 10 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 = 3.75
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
