Amazing nursery! The staff are brilliant, caring and understanding. The food provided is fab, and he has such a varied diet. He has learnt so much since joining, and we are so pleased with his development. We love sending our son here and would recommend it to all.

My child absolutely loves the nursery and staff who are really experienced and great at what they do. My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 11 months old and has grown and developed amazingly. The nursery has improved this year with its online portal and communications which is informative.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Footsteps Binley 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-School is based on 23 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 23 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.

Abbye Dowdall

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2016

Hello, my name is Abbye and I am the nursery manager, and I joined the nursery in 2016.


I hold an NVQ level 4 and have over 15 years of experience working in the early years sector. With this experience, I have been able to provide a stimulating and balanced environment for the children to thrive.


Being a mother of two, I can relate to and understand our families’ requirements at nursery, always remembering the little extras go a long way.
