Thank you for your spell-binding review! It is fabulous to hear that only after 3 months he is doing so well and enjoying himself! The F in C-R-A-F-T-Y is fun! Here is our ethos: We have a new ethos now and it's C.R.A.F.T.Y! C = Creativity and challenge. R = building effective Relationships with all. A = Accept, value and respect others. F = offer FUN and personalised learning. T = develop and support Tomorrow thinkers. Y = develop a confident "Yes I Can" attitude. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your magical review! Excellent in all areas! It has been a pleasure knowing your grandchildren. It is great to hear your positive comments, particularly as you have worked in childcare. As a Together In Communications provider, we aim to provide the best possible opportunities in early communication. Management always think creatively to inspire both children and staff in the early years. Please ask staff about our most recent staff training in London, briefings and staff meetings! Thank you for your time.

Since joining he has completely excelled in his speech, listening skills and his confidence in independent tasks. I can't praise Crafty Wizards enough, as they are extremely hard working, caring and attentive to your child's needs.

Magic review! Thank you. We are a prestigious Quality Mark Award holder in early years and management are very committed to ensuring that personalised learning opportunities are inspiring and provided in a safe and fun environment. We work hard on early communications with a Makaton in particular, we teach staff and children a sign of the week. Please ask staff what this weeks sign is! I will pass on your praise to staff. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your positive comments. We do take safety seriously and constantly review our policies and practices. We now do lock-down drills as well as a fire drill. We even have risk assessment checklists for our children to have a go at completing so that they begin to have an awareness of reducing dangers themselves. The food we provide during snack time is locally grown from our local greengrocer who provides a range of fruit and veg. Unfortunately, due to our small size as a pre-school we are unable to offer hot meals and packed lunch remains the only option at lunch times currently. Thank you for your time in writing a review. We hope that you continue to enjoy the sparkle!

This is very heart warming to hear. We strive to offer the best for our Crafty Wizards and to hear that they go on to primary school with increased confidence, progress well and are happy makes all the hard work worthwhile. We hope that you can come down to the Winter Wonderland event on December 10th 10am - 1pm, we will be posting information on Tuesday on the Crafty Wizards past parents facebook group. I will pass on your message to the team. Thank you for taking the time to write this review, as a small Pre-School we appreciate parent word of mouth.

Thank you so much for your review. It is always good to get feedback. We are bringing out a new 'Wondrous Wizardry' sheet for your Crafty Wizards Magical Moments folder where you will have a clear log of the next steps for each term and information on any intervention groups that our Crafty Wizards might be taking part in to support and challenge them in their learning. We are also starting a new Wizards Quill that should have a bit more sparkle for parents! I will pass on your positive comments to the team, thank you.

My son has really been supported at the school and has really made progress in developing his confidence and speech. We agree with the other viewers that the staff are really welcoming and enthusiastic as you can see on all the children's faces just how happy they are to be there.
We would definitely recommend this school to others.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review. We will make sure that all our staff hear your kind words. We hope that we will see you at our Easter Eggstravaganza or enjoy our allotment visits next term and our Reptile day!

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It is good to hear that we are nearly excellent in all the areas in your opinion. Please do ask your child's key person about the range of resources we have and the ICT we use on a daily basis; our interactive white board screen, our tablets, children's camera's and electronic toys, phones, calculators and more. We recently have also invested in Education City which is a programme that is currently used on our tablets for learning in all areas. It is particularly good for aiding phonics and counting. Unfortunately we are limited with what we are able to have in our outdoor area as we rent the property from the Scouts. We do have a mini-beast area, sand pit, wheeled bikes and a range of outdoor toys to develop gross motor skills as well as other areas of learning. Our snack table offers a choice of various fruit and veg with milk and water daily which is accessible throughout every session.

Thank you for your review, it sounds that you are 'shocked' in a good way about the progress you have seen. Our new Parent Portal should keep you update on their observations and progress.We look forward to another term shortly where we will be welcoming African snails and will have our Easter Egg-stravaganza.

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.
