Thank you for your wonderful review. We're absolutely thrilled that you're so pleased with the nursery and your decision to move your son to Oaklands. Thank you also for your feedback regarding communication. We have taken this on board and hope that the issue has now been resolved to your satisfaction. Our new menus have been designed to provide perfectly balanced nutrition for all age groups and provide the opportunity for children to be introduced to a wide range of new flavours and textures. Please do speak to your child's Key Person if you would like to discuss this in more detail, or have any concerns at all.

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so delighted to hear how happy you are with the nursery and how well prepared your children has been for their transition to school. Our new owners are a group of nurseries, and not a chain. They look to retain the ethos and what is special about the nursery, whilst being focused on improving the environment, the childcare practice and the staff team’s skills and knowledge.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Oaklands Day Nursery 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.844 for Oaklands Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.844
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 Oaklands Day Nursery is based on 23 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
