  • Wolfson College Day Nursery, Oxford
The Wolfson College Day Nursery is based within the College grounds in North Oxford and is available to all members of the community, including those not associated with the University. It aims to provide a safe and stimulating educational environment in which children can develop their knowledge and skills at their own pace. The setting aspires to produce happy, well-adjusted and confident children by working in close partnership with parents.

The nursery believes in creating a ‘home away from home’ for children and families. Staff believe that by providing children with an environment where they feel safe, secure and supported they will be confident enough to explore the world around them and learn naturally through this exploration.

They acknowledge the critical importance of children, parents and staff as partners in a learning community that promotes the wellbeing, education and development of all children.

They encourage family and parent participation and believe this is a key part of running a successful childcare programme. Play is an important part of a child’s development. Through play children learn about the world around them and it is, therefore, important to understand how valuable toys and play are in the development of the child.

The key-person system ensures consistency of care and a two-way partnership between parents and carer.

Oxfordshire provides a choice of nurseries, but few can offer an environment nestled between Summertown and the city centre, in the heart of a peaceful College environment.

The nursery prides itself on being self-reflective and working alongside educators and parents to create a ‘Continuous Improvement Plan’.

This plan is reviewed quarterly and updated where applicable. It allows the nursery practices to stay relevant and developing to coincide with industry developing to coincide with industry developments and any regulation or legislation changes.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have been most reassured at how accommodating all staff have been in helping my son settle at the nursery; they have been professional and courteous at all times, and have made great attempts to help him feel at home at Wolfston nursery. I am immensely impressed with the flexibility in the times I
can bring and collect my son, this makes a huge difference to manage child care on a daily basis. It is also most reassuring that my son eats fresh produce that is cooked on the college site and enjoys wonderful walks on the college grounds. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.822) out of 10 for Wolfson College Day 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 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 4.972 for Wolfson College Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 3.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wolfson College Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 25 number of registered child places is 5. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0.6

  • 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.
