Both our children have attended Old Macs Latimer since they were 9 months old (the first one started at the beginning of 2022), and we have always felt they have received fantastic care. They go in happily and come out happy too. We get daily updates and photos from the new app they are using and always
feel that the staff are there to help and listen if we have any worries or queries, they are very supportive and try to work with parents to have consistency from home to nursery (e.g. reward charts etc). The staff all clearly care about the kids and are lovely with them. They have a forest school accredited practitioner now, and the children get to spend lots of time outside which is wonderful. They are great at giving my two "sibling" time together, and I often arrive to find them playing happily together, it's nice that the different age groups have the opportunity to mix and play together at times. Overall highly recommended!

My daughter has been attending Old Macdonalds Nursery since September 2023 and always looks forward to going to nursery. Every evening when we pick her up she has a smile on her face. She’s clearly formed close bonds with her key care workers, which is comforting.
The girls always have a smile on their
faces and you can tell they really care about the little ones. They are always engaging with my husband and I and keep us updated on how my little one is getting on. Going back to work after maternity was naturally difficult, but it was made a little bit easier knowing my daughter was being well looked after.
Couldn’t have asked for a better setting for my daughter to learn and develop.

My one-year-old has been at Old MacDonald for around 4 months. We are so happy with the care he receives. I always find the team to be friendly and caring. The setting is beautiful and the building is perfect for a nursery. He has a varied diet there and we get daily updates on his progress.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.693)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.693) out of 10 for Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Latimer 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.933 for Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Latimer is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 3.76 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Latimer is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.26

  • 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.
