My son transferred to Shine A Light after being in lockdown for nearly 6 months. We were initially worried him settling in but it was clear after just the visit that it was definitely the place for him. He didn't want to leave! He looks forward to going everyday which is amazing for him! The staff are
all super friendly and really get involved, we love all the personal touches and how we are always made to feel welcome. My son has settled in amazingly and we have seen a massive change in his communication and interaction with people outside the family. We couldn't recommend Shine A Light more!

Amazing place, I am having such a great experience with them it’s like home to home care. Sometimes I think she enjoys nursery more than home. Different actives every day and some great ideas. Great friendly staff who love the kids.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After struggling to settle in a different nursery, we took the decision to change. From day one at Shine A Light, our daughter was more than happy to be left and even got excited when we told her where she was going. We had six months of screaming when dropping off at the other nursery. Result. The
staff are so welcoming and very accommodating with our daughter’s list of allergies. Days appear to be well structured with fun activities that encourage progress and learning without being forceful. Staff also go out of their way to pass the time of day when collecting, with some comments about what’s been going on through the day, not just a 'yeah she’s been fine'. They are obviously passionate and diligent in their roles. Absolutely no hesitation in saying this is the best nursery around here.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Shine A Light Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.976 for Shine A Light Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (457 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 468 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 Shine A Light Day Nursery is based on 39 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 39 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.
