Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My toddler recently joined the play corner, my son is always so happy to attend and always come out with a smile on his face. The staff take pride in what they do, they are understanding, patient and informative.
They took very good care of the children in the setting and the environment they are
in, they have so many planned activities, they make great efforts to keep you updated throughout the day, I always look forward to the updates, my son is always happy, exploring, playing and learning. This is a warm and welcoming setting and I will never hesitate to recommend the play corner, they are amazing!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The girls here are absolutely amazing! My son absolutely loves going to nursery I don't even get a goodbye anymore, which is sad but also so comforting because I know he's happy,safe and well looked after I always worried putting him into nursery because I was sure I wouldn't find the right one to help
support and accommodate his needs but I was wrong, this isn't the first nursery my son has been at with these amazing ladies and my biggest regret was not moving him with them at the same time! They are a fantastic team, and help and support with the smallest of things to the biggest, within 17 days of being there my son is COMPLETELY dry during the days! After him being so scared to used the toilet for a wee and poo for the longest time, and within such a small amount of time he has overcome his fear , I love hearing his stories about him playing with his friends, that's my favourite time of day!
1000% recommend to anyone who feel like they haven't found the right one yet

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.419)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.419) out of 10 for The Play Corner 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for The Play Corner is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 22 Ratings = 5
  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 3.419 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Play Corner is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.294
  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.
