Thank you for this lovely review! One of the great advantages of a nursery that is part of a wider school is that, throughout the year, the children get to use all our incredible facilities, including the gorgeous St Mary's Church.

Many thanks for your review. One of the advantages of the Squirrels Nursery is that the children are able to participate in the wider activities of Northbourne Park School and have so many wonderful role models in the older pupils.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. As the famous saying goes, 'There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing'! We love to see our Squirrels outdoors as much as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're so pleased to read your feedback on the specialist lessons and our super staff. French, Music and Forest School are such an important part of the weekly timetable at Squirrels Nursery, and it's wonderful to offer these alongside our usual programme of activities and learning. The Nativity is the highlight of the year, for sure!

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) out of 10 for Northbourne Park Squirrels 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 4.7 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 4.976 for Northbourne Park Squirrels Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.976
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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Northbourne Park Squirrels 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 7 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.
