Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My boy is happy at the nursery and has learned and progressed a lot.
I feel confident in leaving my child at the nursery knowing he will be looked after for the day. The staff are so good with him and he even talks about the staff when he gets home.
I will recommend this nursery!

My daughter loves attending this nursery, they are always doing new activities and doing songs with the children, and the staff are so lovely too. The outdoor space is really big and full of fun areas for the children to explore.
Highly recommend them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The ladies at the nursery are absolutely exceptional. I'm always promptly updated with staff changeovers or any accident forms. I feel like my child is 100% in their best interest and he is now thriving thanks to the staff here. If anything is marked down, it isn't aimed at the ladies who deal with
the children daily.
Keep it up.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.367)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.367) out of 10 for Sallowbush Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.467 for Sallowbush Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.467
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sallowbush Preschool is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 9 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.
