Dear Danielle,
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We are very sorry to have received this review from you. We pride ourselves on the service we provide to parents looking to make one of the most important decisions regarding their childcare.
We completely understand your concern regarding staff turnover at the nursery. Unfortunately, nurseries and other childcare providers across the sector are having significant difficulties in recruiting. However, it is vital that we do everything we can to ensure that we hire the right people to care for the children in our care. While our stringent recruitment procedure may mean it takes us a little longer to hire staff, we believe this is the correct approach to take.
In regard to your other concern, we can only apologise for the breakdown in communication on our part. We believe this relates to a graduation event which was due to be held at the nursery. While we accept that the date of the event should have been communicated to you and your husband in a more productive way, we assure you that there was no intention to mislead you.
We would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss your concerns further. Should this be something you wish to do, please feel free to reach out to us.
In the meantime, we wish you and your family all the best for the future.

We are very sorry to have received this review from you. We pride ourselves on the service we provide to parents and go to great lengths to ensure that parents receive a great customer experience, so it is a shame that we have not met your or our own expectations on this occasion.
At the time of the issue you have referenced, the guidance we were following from the DfE was that children displaying symptoms of Covid-19 either needed to self-isolate for 10 days or secure a negative test result before attending the nursery. As you decided not to test your child (neither PCR nor LFT), our policy was that your child would then need to self-isolate for the required period. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, however, we were duty-bound to follow the guidance in place at that time.
We wish you and your family all the best. If you wish to discuss your concerns further, please do feel free to contact us.

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.300) out of 10 for Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.833 for Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.833
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 4.467 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 8 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 = 3.8
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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.667
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: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2024
Hello,
My name is Bilal Iqbal and I joined Tommies Childcare in March 2024, where I am the Deputy Manager at Springthorpe Day Nursery.
I started my childcare journey as an apprentice. It began with a fervent curiosity about how children learn and grow, which led me to achieve my Level 3 qualification in Childcare and then work my way up to my new role as Deputy Manager. In this time, I have not only come to develop my passion for childcare but also my love for child development. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with children of diverse backgrounds, abilities and temperaments, honing my skills in fostering their social, emotional and cognitive development.
As Deputy Manager, I am committed to supporting families, empowering staff, and sharing my values such as believing every child is unique and deserves to be respected and encouraged to explore the world around them.
Together let's embark on a journey of discovery, learning and endless possibilities. Arrange a visit to Springthorpe today!
