The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.871 for Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.871
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 Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 15 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 15 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: 2024
Hello,
I’m Becky and I am delighted to be the Nursery Manager here at Thornhill Day Nursery.
I have been working in childcare for 16+ years and have a breadth of knowledge within the sector. I have a BA (Honours) degree in Childhood and Youth studies, as well as a range of other qualifications, including a Level 3 in both Speech & Language support, and Special Educational Needs (SEN).
I understand how important the beginning of a child’s educational journey is, and I strive to make this the best it can be, by ensuring that we meet each child’s individual needs. I have completed lots of work on enabling environments and creating communication-friendly spaces and strongly believe that anything implemented should make a positive impact for the children.
I am extremely passionate about the Early Years and find this job the most rewarding role. I love watching and nourishing all the little personalities of the children develop and see them proudly achieve their goals.
I am thrilled to be a part of the Tommies Childcare family as I believe that our vision and values are in line with one another, which enables me to manage my team effectively to ensure that the children build a solid foundation to grow and flourish.
I would love to show you what Thornhill Nursery has to offer and introduce you to my wonderful team, so why not book a visit?

Hello,
My name is Sharna and I am the Deputy Manager at Thornhill Day Nursery.
I have always had a passion for working with children even from school age where I started gaining my first pieces of knowledge through my child development classes. From that I point, I carried on into college where I completed my BTEC National diploma in child care.
I then went onto university where I gained a qualification in Primary Education with a special focus in the Early Years. Since that point I have worked in a range of different settings ranging from schools, a Montessori nursery, after school settings and then finally Thornhill.
You will see me most days in Preschool having fun with the children and helping them become school ready.
Why not come and see the nursery for yourself by arranging a visit?
