Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My child has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old, the staff are always welcoming and friendly, she is happy at the nursery they do lots of activities with the children and she always comes home with paintings, drawings etc. They have been very supportive during potty training and always encouraged
her to use the toilets and are happy to change her if she’s had an accident. They hold Christmas fairs, bingo events and summer fairs to help fundraise for the nursery and encourage parents to come along and join in which is good for the community.

Fantastic nursery. Can not fault them. They have been very adaptive to my child's needs. I have a child with medical needs and I know I am able to leave my child with them and know they are well looked after. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Definitely happy with everything, kind staff, interesting activities for children. It makes my heart melt when my baby comes home with a little present. My son enjoys it and in school holidays ask when he goes to nursery again. No complaints at all. Can say a huge thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Gaywood First Steps 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.830 for Gaywood First Steps is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.83

  • 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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gaywood First Steps is based on 12 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.882

  • 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.
