Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our children have both been to Acorn Cottage, and our decision to move, was a very reluctant one due to family life. All the staff at Acorn, have been thoroughly supportive of our children and us as a family over the nearly six years. Acorn have provided the home away from home. The staff are interested
in all aspects of the children's lives, both in school and at home. The encouragement/love/dedication and knowing each child individually is a special gift and our children have formed such special bonds with all the staff and their individual key workers there, that with their support, our children have flourished. The staff are very supportive of home life as well, and personally have found the stability of Acorn for the children, very comforting and helpful in the last 12 to 18 months. The manager and her team are amazing! There are no words to say thank you for everything over our time with Acorn, and it is a heart breaking decision having to change.

Reply from Julie Christmas, Manager at Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School - Acorn Cottage

Thank you for your review, your words means so much as we have created an environment that supports each individual family and all of their different needs. Over the last 6 years your support to the nursery has always been 100%, even with your busy workload/family life, this has enabled us to create an holistic picture of both of your children and the true meaning of "Parent Partnership". We fully appreciate that it was a very difficult decision for you to make, we shall miss seeing you all everyday, family life has to take priority. For us it has been a pleasure to have been part of your children's Early Years journey.

The nursery/preschool is clean and safe for kids, lots of green space outside including forest school. Equipment and games during the day are imaginative and developing for young ones. Staff are friendly and caring and involved in kids spare time (home and weekend time) asking lots of questions about
what they did and encourage kids to talk a lot, kids are engaged with staff.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.100)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.100) out of 10 for Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School - Acorn Cottage 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School - Acorn Cottage is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School - Acorn Cottage is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.1

  • 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.
