My son started here when he was seven months old, he absolutely loves it and learns so much. The tapestry record they update is lovely, as I can see what he’s been doing. The nursery is well run and parents are kept in the loop with everything. His key worker is really lovely and my son adores her.

Our son has been at The Old Barn since he was 6 months old and will be leaving for Primary School soon. There have been a few staff changes in his time but all have been handled well and we have always been confident in sending our son there.
We moved away from Narborough 18 months ago and looked
at other options closer to home but we didn't feel comfortable with any of them so kept our son at The Old Barn. He has always been happy to attend and the staff are very attentive and caring.


I have recommended this nursery to numerous friends and will continue to do so.

I have all 3 of my children at The Old Barn, with my eldest due to leave to start Primary school this year.


We have always been pleased with the environment and feel of the nursery. There have been inevitable staff changes over time, but this has never impacted on the service and care received.


The

activities and resources implemented have shown real variance and the children enjoy. The online journal is a great way of monitoring your child’s progress, as well as regular parents evenings. The staff are brilliant and engaging with the children, of which we have enjoyed seeing them develop since attending The Old Barn

Overall I'm very pleased with The Old Barn Day Nursery. My son has learnt new words and is responding to questions, overall he is progressing really well with his learning and that is down to the staff working along side of him. I find communication can be poor at times with certain members of staff,
this can cause confusion and can sometimes affect my sons learning progressions. My son gets very excited to go to nursery and gets on very well with staff and I'm really pleased with choosing The Old Barn Day Nursery for my son.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for The Old Barn Day Nursery 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.

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 4.859 for The Old Barn Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 The Old Barn Day Nursery 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, 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.
