Review from B G (Father of Child) published on 20 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been attending for two weeks now since the nursery opened and it feels like she has been there for months.
The care and support the whole staff team have given during the settlement process and these early days is exceptional.
At a previous nursery we had battles to get her to leave
us and go to staff members but here she is skipping through the door each morning and doesn't look back.
When she arrives home there is so much she has to tell us about her day, it's clear to see she absolutely loves her time at nursery and has developed good secure relationships with all the staff.
Food is fantastic, all freshly cooked onsite and goes down well.
Even with the rubbish weather lately she has been able to play outside, the staff's enthusiasm and excellent outdoor space is what allows this to still happen.
We genuinely can not recommend the nursery enough, if any doubts just book a tour and see for yourself.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Salisbury 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.938 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Salisbury is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.938
  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 Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Salisbury is based on 23 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
