I couldn't praise The Old School House enough! Their ongoing commitment, professionalism and all-round friendly nature goes a long way! Our daughter loves her days there, and I always feel reassured that she is going to a safe and well-established environment - Thank you to each and every one of you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been so happy with The Old School House. My daughter has been there since 9 months of age and has always received outstanding care. The staff are amazing and truly make a big difference. I feel so confident knowing she is receiving a high level of care from that staff that go above and beyond.
I really could not fault anything about this nursery. The site is lovely, staff are amazing, management is wonderful. They've made a huge positive impact on my child's learning and development way above what I would have expected.

Review from Candice E (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
10/10 nursery, I made the decision in August 2020 to place my son here at this wonderful setting, the owner showed me around via video call due to COVID restrictions and I fell in love with the nursery setting without even viewing it in person. My son has been going since he was 11 months old and he
has developed and learnt so much and made some wonderful friends. He learnt to walk here and now talking so clearly. The dedication and enthusiasm all the staff have is just incredible and I couldn't imagine my son being anywhere else. So thank you Old School House and I will really miss my son going here when he goes to school next year.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for The Old School House Nursery & Pre School 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 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 4.986 for The Old School House Nursery & Pre School is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.986
  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 Old School House Nursery & Pre School 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, 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.
