The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Poole Montessori Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.907 for Bright Horizons Poole Montessori Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.907
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 Bright Horizons Poole Montessori Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 18 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Joined: 2000
I have been at the nursery since 2000 and I thoroughly enjoy my time at our busy nursery, watching the children grow and develop into independent little people ready for school. I have a true passion for Montessori and completed my Montessori certificate in 2015.
Together we strive daily to provide an outstanding home-from-home environment for all our staff, children and families, which was recognised by OFSTED in both 2012 and February 2018. Our staff team are one of the biggest assets with long-standing and dedicated individuals who pride themselves on understanding your children's individual needs.
My hobbies include spending time on the water with my husband and children and exploring the world around us.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2014
I have been working at Poole Montessori for 8 years. I started as an apprentice and have worked my way up to Room Leader and Third in Charge. I am based in the Baby and Toddler Room and enjoy providing a home-from-home experience and helping the children grow and develop through learning experiences and messy play such as sand, water and paint.
