Review from Bal S (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest who has started pre nursery in January 2025 has settled well and enjoying his time there. Staff are great and so accommodating. I have seen many changes within a few weeks of my son joining with clear speech and more confidence. My eldest also joined at 2 years of age in 2019 and we were
more than happy with the care provided. Maybe introduce hot meals for nursery do they can have a variety over the week.

Review from Craig M (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Mayfield in September 2024, having turned 2 in June. We began on 3 days a week, but soon increased this to 4 days once we saw how quickly he had settled in and how much he enjoyed himself . The team of staff in the pre school section have been brilliant, and the communication we receive
from the school is fantastic - both via the App that gives us daily updates and photos, and from the schools admin office. Since January our son has been attending 5 days a week and a our experience have been first class throughout. We have some had minor issues in getting him to eat his lunch, but working closely with the class teacher we have tried different approaches and found a way that works.
Friendly Head teacher and Deputy head are regularly in the playground at drop off/pick up times, so always available for parents to speak to.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.504)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.504) out of 10 for Mayfield Preparatory School 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.941 for Mayfield Preparatory School is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 34 Ratings = 4.941
  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 3.563 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mayfield Preparatory School is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.313
  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.
