Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope you have settled into your new home now. It has been a pleasure to care for your little one. It is a bit sad that we don't have outdoor space, however, the children have more learning opportunities when they are out and about in the locality. It is amazing just how many people know us and look forward to seeing the children exploring the local parks/gardens and the children love waving to the boats from the Millennium Bridge. Good luck with the new baby (remember to let us know when it arrives). Wishing you all the best of everything. Managing Director and Team at Smithfield House.

Thank you so much for your comments. It was such a pleasure to watch little man's character develop during his time with us and to hear his grasp on the English language also develop so quickly! We wish you all the very best for the future. Remember to pop into the nursery if you are ever back in the UK.
Take care

Thank you for your comments. I can't believe she is just about to move through to the next room - where has that time gone? I know she will flourish and develop so much when she gets there.

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.050) out of 10 for Smithfield House Childrens Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 5.000 for Smithfield House Childrens Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 5
b) 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 4.05 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Smithfield House Childrens Nursery is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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 = 3.7
ii) 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.35
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
