It is always lovely to hear when a parent has chosen Crafty Wizards again for their second child. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We gained our Early Years Quality Mark accreditation again last year. The team work hard on stage and off to provide a safe, happy place where our Crafty Wizards can be inspired in their learning and curious about the world around them.

Spell-binding! Our management team know our 'Crafty Wizards', running whole group activities, supporting planning and leading the team from the pre-school stage floor to behind the scenes. Thank you for your sparkling review. We are looking forward to celebrating our equality week next week and promoting that our 'Crafty Wizards' can grow up and succeed in whatever they want to, we promote an 'I can' attitude and the power of 'yet'. We have recently spent lots of money and creative thought on our outside areas from a new log cabin at Crafty Wizards World, a whole new learning space at Avery Hill Park and mud kitchen equipment at large out door countryside feel New Eltham site. There is more to come shortly.

5 sparkling stars in all areas! Thank you. Seeing our Crafty Wizards grow in their confidence, resilience, ability to problem solve and develop their imagination skills is the secret fuel to our magic! We want our Crafty Wizards to have fun, feel secure and nurtured, be challenged and supported. We work hard to make the learning environment sparkle with awe and wonder from enabling the physical environment to quality staff interactions. We look forward to our end of year 'Crafty-Arty-Graduation-Party'. Details to follow.

Magic-nificent! It is always heart-warming to hear that a parent has chosen us for both of their siblings and to hear that they love coming to Crafty Wizards. The team work hard to make learning magical through creativity. This year has brought unprecedented challenges but it is through the tough times that we learn how strong we are. Look out for some exciting things in our 10 year anniversary!

Thank you, a magical 5 stars in all areas! We have tried our best to be transparent throughout and keep parents/carers updated as soon as we have been regarding the pandemic. We are having our Wizarding week this week and look forward to our book week coming soon. Thank you for your support, we enjoyed our 'Share The Love' idea at the end of last half term, we couldn't make magic with our Crafty Wizards, their life long teachers (parents/carers) and our Wise Wizards (staff!).

We love that you are 'unbelievably happy' with our pre-school. We are having a 'share the love week' this week. We have been sharing lots of positive praise from parents/carers to our team, our key people have been sharing what they love about our Crafty Wizards and our Crafty Wizards are sharing what they love about their parents/carers. This is our cycle love! We have been making more resources for our minibeast area, mud kitchen and small pond area. Photos coming soon on our private Facebook group. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Spell-endid! Our home learning sacks are being extended again next week, now we have key person take home sacks, maths learning backpacks, maths challenge backpacks, topic backpacks and we hope to have more online learning opportunities arise soon!

This review sparkles with 5 stars! Thank you for taking the time to write this. We love our Forest School at New Eltham. During normal times we also have regular visits at our New Eltham site to Greenwich University's allotments. We hope that we can start this up again shortly. In the meantime, we are adding more resources to our mini beast and mud kitchen area. As a small pre-school your review really helps let others know how we try our best to make learning magical through creativity.

Sparkling! Thank you for your review. We have tried hard to offer support for our 'Crafty Wizards' and their families during this challenging time. Our 'Crafty Wizards' have enjoyed returning to pre-school and shown how resilient children can be with change. Our team has implemented Covid-19 safe measures for all and continue to offer learning opportunities that are stimulating, creative, engaging, challenging and supportive. Instead of our usual parent stay and play session we are having a literacy focus day at pre-school with ideas for fun home learning activities. Watch this space!

Magical! Thank you for your 5 stars in all areas review. We work hard to communicate with parents through our private Facebook group and our Parent Zone.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Crafty Wizards Pre-School - New Eltham 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.885 for Crafty Wizards Pre-School - New Eltham is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.885
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 Crafty Wizards Pre-School - New Eltham is based on 16 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 16 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.
