Reply from Natasha Smith, Manager at Muddy Boots Nursery (Gildersome)
Our aim is that mealtimes at Kaleidoscope are happy, social occasions for children and practitioners. In line with our Nutrition Policy and government guidelines, we encourage healthy eating by providing healthy foods for children. At breakfast time we offer a selection of cereals or toast. Alongside various fruits daily. Allergies are very common, and we must ensure that all needs are met. If a child has a milk allergy or preference, we then substitute this with oat milk or soya milk. Although our aim is for all children to sit alongside peers for meals, we do understand the importance of individual needs and children's choices. Breakfast is offered to all children regardless of if they choose to eat what is provided, the opportunity is inclusive for all children.
We appreciate all feedback to continually improve our practice.
Thank you.

All the staff know each child really well and are really friendly at drop-off and pick up. It is lovely that they ask after my eldest child (and
I decided to leave my job six months ago and we have kept my son in nursery. I think that this speaks volumes for how we value the level of care and education he receives.
The communication with home is excellent - I love the app and social media page. It is so nice to view photos of what they’re getting up to each day. The menu is fantastic and very varied and he eats very well. The activities planned are brilliant and I like how they get to spend lots of time outdoors.
I can’t recommend it enough!

The small, homely feel of the house suits our children better than some of the bigger venues we looked around, and the open plan layout encourages the children to mix and ensures good supervision and oversight
We are so impressed with the staff who offer very personal care, taking time to listen to our children and what's going on in their lives, and always are engaging with the children when I do pick up. They have been very responsive and worked closely with us when we have asked for adjustments. Our eldest daughter is quite sensitive but all the staff are so caring when she gets upset and comfort and distract her. They also cater to our specialist diet and our eldest has recently done the forest school programme which she absolutely loves.
They deserve their outstanding Ofsted rating.

The nursery staff and management communicate brilliantly with parents and grandparents. Email queries are answered promptly and we are kept well informed of changes and events at the nursery. They have parents evening where you can get a more in-depth look at your child’s development and get to taste the food menu with recipe ideas to try at home.
The key workers my children have been involved with have known them inside out, are loved by the children and they help to support routines and behaviours at home. We keep up to date with each other using an app, and it’s updated each day they attend so you can talk about their day and activities at home.

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.896) out of 10 for Muddy Boots Nursery (Gildersome) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.671 for Muddy Boots Nursery (Gildersome) is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.671
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 4.225 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Muddy Boots Nursery (Gildersome) is based on 6 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 = 3.6
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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.625
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.
