My son has attended Woodberry's preschool for over a year now and we have been consistently pleased. There is a caring, happy and positive atmosphere in the nursery and the staff have gone out of their way to get to know our son as an individual and to help his confidence and development in a very
personalised way. The activities programme is also very good and prepares the children well for school.

Lovely bright and friendly staff who love the babies. My daughter lights up as soon as she sees them! Lots of educational activities and messy play which my daughter has fun taking part in every week. The staff were very supportive with my return to work and helped me do a phased return to work. Everything
is catered for and the facilities are wonderful for babies. I'm very glad I choose Woodberry for my little girl.

My 2 year old son has been attending the nursery since Oct 2014. From the moment I stepped into the nursery, I have never seen a member of staff with a grumpy or unhelpful attitude. Staff are always smiling and always willing to help. The manager, deputy manager, team leader and key worker have been
absolutely amazing. My son absolutely adores his key worker. I'm really happy with the progress my son has made since he joined, and would definitely recommend to others.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.625) out of 10 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.637 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill) is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.637

  • 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 4.988 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill) is based on 17 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.988

  • 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.
