Our son has attended Smarty Pants nursery since he was 10 and a half months old. He will be 4 next month. Over the past 3 years, we have been totally satisfied with the care he has received. All the staff are friendly, caring and helpful and quickly developed a great relationship with our son. They
have always taken our son's food allergies seriously and were supportive throughout his potty training. They offer a wide range of stimulating activities for the children and overall we are confident that our son is happy in the setting.

My son has now attended this nursery for over a year and I am very happy with all aspects of his care. The staff are very warm and caring; the children are always busy with a range of stimulating activities, and healthy eating is encouraged.

My son started Smarty Pans Nursery, in Plaistow, in January. We could not have had a better welcome. The manager has been hugely supportive, she is exceptionally warm and friendly. Her approach has helped me feel really happy with our choice to have our son with them. I'd like to say thank you to our
son's key worker. She has already built a brilliant relationship with him over the various sessions, and over the past few weeks. My son's key worker and manager are also supportive of me as a parent, nothing is too much trouble. They give me lots of information and assurance that my son is happy and well cared for. I have peace of mind that my son is in great hands.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.428)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.428) out of 10 for Smarty Pants Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.944 for Smarty Pants Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 3.484 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Smarty Pants Day Nursery 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:

    • 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 = 3.25

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.234

  • 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.
