Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the setting for over 6 months and he has settled in well. The staff have been amazing and have been attentive to his needs and very supportive. Communication regarding his care has been great and we are always updated on his development and any concerns, they have been addressed
and they have been able to implement plans to fully support him. The setting is well-equipped with a variety of toys and learning equipment. I would highly recommend the setting to parents.

My son absolutely loves his nursery, he has the biggest smile on his face when he walks into the nursery and he will not even look back to say bye.
The staff are so lovely and welcoming - they are all so knowledgeable and no question is too silly to ask.
The resources are out of this world and the
nursery rooms look amazing.

Review from Priya P (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter moved from a different nursery to The House That Jack Built Nursery, Hemel and we are truly astounded by the hard work of the team behind the refurbishment of this nursery; the before and after photos speak for themselves! The educational and learning resources provided are brilliant and
I know my child is in the best of hands. We have previously had settling issues with lots of tears, however, since our daughter's first visit to this nursery last week, she has not shed one tear! We are so relieved and at peace knowing that our daughter is happy here and we would 110% recommend this nursery to everyone! We cannot wait for our younger daughter to start in a few months! This nursery does not have a garden, however, an indoor garden room has been created which I find amazing as it's utilised more with the likes of UK weather and children are taken for daily walks which in my opinion is more beneficial for child development. Thank you to everyone for your continued hard work and dedication.

My child has settled in very well and loves the nursery. This is all because of the wonderful staff and care that is given to the children. The girls in the room are great, and always helpful. I am very grateful to all the staff and her key workers who have been amazing.

Excellent staff, amazing nature for the children they teach and are always on hand to help the amazing Senco team. My daughter has been going to this nursery for 3 years and has had help from most of the staff. They are able to meet her needs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for The House That Jack Built Nursery 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.935 for The House That Jack Built Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.935
  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 The House That Jack Built Nursery is based on 18 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
