Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend this daycare enough. My daughter has been attending since the age of 2 and she has thrived so much since then not only in her learning skills but her Welsh also. You are always so on top of things and always go above and beyond. The communication is brilliant and I am always informed
of my daughters day to day whilst there. The food you supply is also brilliant. I can't thank you enough for all that you do!

We love Gofal Plant Cwtch Childcare, my daughter has been going since age 2. She started at Cwtch and now she attends afterschool club. She loves all the aunties and makes new friends. It's hard to get her to leave! My son also attends baby Cwtch, he loves going and I feel so at ease as a mother knowing
he's cared for and loved by the staff. I always recommend Cwtch, they try and help and make my life so much easier knowing my children are happy and content.

My child enjoys it so much, she loves going and playing with all the children and she tells me about all the different activities she does. She always says how friendly the staff are and they are always very friendly when I or Dad come to pick up.

My children love going to Gofal Plant Cwtch. They enjoy all the activities and always come home and talk about what they have done. The management and staff are always supportive and they update daily on the app about my children's day. I highly recommend this nursery.

My little boy started at Fairwater Cwtch and then moved up to Penrebane Cwtch when he turned 2! My son absolutely loves Cwtch, even on a Saturday he's asking to go to nursery! He is well looked after and fed. Wouldn't have one bad word to say about Cwtch, I'm so happy to have my little boy there. Thank
you to everyone at Cwtch you're all amazing.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Cwtch Childcare - Pentrebaen 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.974 for Cwtch Childcare - Pentrebaen is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.974
  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 Cwtch Childcare - Pentrebaen is based on 13 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
