Our one-year-old attended this nursery for nearly a year. It has an outstanding Ofsted rating but the service we received was not outstanding. The communication between the nursery and ourselves in our experience was not good and the management and staff were not easy to converse with. This resulted
in us having to find alternative arrangements at short notice. I would not recommend it to other parents.

Reply from Bill Richardson at Strawberry How Nursery School

This parent visited the nursery twice. Once for one of the free taster sessions (initial look-around) and later on for an extra day when he picked up late at 6.05pm. We never actually charged them for that extra day. Our communication efforts go beyond the "call of duty" and include - a public website - a secure website with detailed information after log in (never used by this parent) - settling-in information on the website for parents of new children - parents' handbook for each room - introductory email - free taster sessions including gathering information from parents - parents fill in an "all about me" information sheet. On a daily basis - personal morning handover - end of the day handover - daily diary published on the app - office contact always available - key person's system. There is a one month settling-in meeting - daily use of online app to parents phone (this parent never logged in) - we have a secret social media page that only our parents can access - there's a monthly newsletter - parents meetings - two year report and meetings with parents - transition meeting with parents and transition reports. We have a zero tolerance policy towards inappropriate behaviour towards our staff. It is true that in this instance we were unsuccessful in trying to communicate this. Nevertheless, we will post his review internally for all our parents to make their own judgement.

My son spent 4 years at Strawberry How Nursery and has absolutely loved it. The staff are lovely, caring, enthusiastic and helpful and this is reflected in the children’s behaviour. Everything is done to such a high standard and he has thrived both socially and otherwise with all the activities on offer.
Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 2.8 (2.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 2.8 (2.833) out of 10 for Strawberry How Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 2.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0.0 out of 5 from 0 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 2.833 for Strawberry How Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (4 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 2.833

  • 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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Strawberry How Nursery School is based on 0 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) =

    • 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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0

  • 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.
