Thank you for such a wonderful review. To read your kind words means so much as we pride ourselves on doing our best by the children and their families. The staff work so hard in making sure they know everything about the children to ensure they provide the best care so to receive your feedback is just lovely. We are so proud of the progress your son has made. He has done so well and we love still being part of his care even though he has started school. Thank you for also recognising the work of our manager. She is certainly an asset to our nursery and we are lucky to have her! Your review is much appreciated by us all.

Since joining nursery he has developed so quickly and his social skills have come on so well being able to play with other kids on a regular basis. We were so pleased with the nursery we recommended it to a friend whose little boy is around the same age and now they are best buds!

The facilities at the nursery are great, every day the children are doing something different and updates come through to the app to keep me and mum in the loop. She always seems to eat all of the provided food as well, which is nice as at home sometimes it can be a struggle, so it's good to know she's being well fed.
The staff are lovely and friendly, our daughter calls them her nursery family and she is clearly very fond of them and happy to be there; on nursery days she is through the door and goes off to play as soon as we turn up. She always comes home and is absolutely wiped out as well, a testament to the
hard-working staff.
Highly recommend!

Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Footsteps Day Nursery Llanbradach 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.972 for Footsteps Day Nursery Llanbradach is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.972
-
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 Footsteps Day Nursery Llanbradach is based on 18 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 18 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.
