The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for The Village Preschool E17 is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.694 for The Village Preschool E17 is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.694
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Village Preschool E17 is based on 25 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
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.

Joined: 2023
Hello! I'm Emma, a passionate and dedicated Early Years Teacher with a lifelong dream of shaping young minds. I proudly hold a Bachelor of Education Degree (Primary), specialising in Literacy, which I earned in Canberra, Australia.
During my degree, I immersed myself in various educational environments, including working in a nursery and diverse settings focused on children under the age of five. These experiences provided me with invaluable insights into child development and the important stages of early childhood. I was honoured to be promoted to the role of Room Lead for Toddlers during this time, which allowed me to lead and support their growth.
Seeking further experience, I expanded my teaching career in a local Catholic school, where I taught Year One and Reception classes. Additionally, I had the privilege of overseeing extension and enrichment programs for gifted and talented children. This opportunity deepened my commitment to providing personalised and enriching educational experiences.
London became my home in 2014, and since then, I have continued to enhance my expertise in both state and independent schools. In North London, I embraced the role of Lower School Coordinator, where I oversaw teaching and learning from Reception up to Year 2. Recently, I had the privilege of serving as the Acting Head of Nursery at a leading independent Montessori nursery in West London.
I believe in creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and inspired to explore their potential. Through a play-based approach and personalised learning, I strive to ignite a lifelong love for learning in each child. I am dedicated to fostering their intellectual, social, and emotional growth, preparing them for a bright future.
I am excited to continue making a positive impact on young learners' lives and contributing to The Village Preschool's educational journey.
