We are very happy with Yellow Brick Nursery. The staff and senior management are exceptional, very friendly and brilliant with the children.
The drop offs and pick ups are a very smooth process and the breakfast points are a really good idea to assist this process. Both our boys went here, however,
one has left last year due to school. Our youngest is still in "small bears" and loves his time there. I would highly rate this nursery and the staff are the most enthusiastic and patient I have ever met.

Brilliant, friendly staff from her key worker to the other girls, the chef and the managers. I do not have a bad thing to say about them. They took my daughter at 7months as I went back to work and have looked after her extremely well. She recognises nursery and loves going there. She enjoys all the
lovely variety of food and has developed well. They have a great online source to monitor development and the feedback every day is informative and helpful. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

The team at Yellow Brick have cared for both our children over the last five years. The nursery is good quality and the facilities too, but it's the genuine care the team show in looking after the children, helping them develop and have lots of fun, that sets it apart. Would recommend.

All the staff at Yellow Brick Nursery are friendly, helpful and very experienced. I have complete and total confidence in their abilities. We have tried other nurseries in the area and Yellow Brick is the only one we would even consider now. Our little girl is encouraged to learn, play and develop and
she does have a very positive experience. If you are looking for a nursery then choose Yellow Brick Nursery as it is extremely safe and pleasant for the children attending.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.948) out of 10 for Lower Earley Day Nursery (Yellow Brick House) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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.

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 4.810 for Lower Earley Day Nursery (Yellow Brick House) is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.81

  • 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 4.138 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lower Earley Day Nursery (Yellow Brick House) 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.438

  • 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.
