My two children go to Sunshine and Showers and they love going. They both get excited to go and you can visibly see them get excited to see their key person, any staff member. All the staff who work there are lovely. I believe they're well looked after, otherwise, I wouldn't be leaving my children with
them.

Sunshine and Showers is a fantastic nursery. Both of my children absolutely love attending the nursery. The staff are fantastic and make the children feel at home. The setting is clean, with lots for the children to do and explore. The garden area is filled with a variety of activities for the children,
and all equipment is well looked after.

The staff here are amazing.
They give each child a keeper who has helped our little boy leaps and bounds with his speech. Would thoroughly recommend it to any parent thinking of starting their little ones on their first learning journey.

I have used this nursery for many years. My eldest child is twenty four and went here, I currently have two children here and my youngest will be starting soon. The ladies are welcoming and great with the children, it’s a home from home for the kids.

My daughter has had a very happy and positive experience. She was very shy and never let me go away in the beginning but within a week she became very happy. It's a very caring environment, her teacher is a very caring and loving person. My daughter loves her so much. She is more confident now and looks
forward to going into nursery every day. Since joining here, she has developed in so many ways. Thank you, Sunshine and Showers.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.980) out of 10 for Sunshine and Showers is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 4.522 for Sunshine and Showers is calculated as follows: ( (14 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.522

  • 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 3.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunshine and Showers is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.333

  • 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.
