The nursery is wonderfully managed and all staff are very professional and nice. Not only my child is always happy at the nursery but also he learns new things every week or so and tells me about things he does at the nursery. I absolutely love the nursery and recommend it to all my friends. They really
supported us during the time of my son's medical problems for which he had to go through major surgery. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The manager and her team is excellent. They care and teach children how to communicate, be independent and get ready for primary school. I am very happy with the service. This is one of the best nursery in this area.

From a child who was crying badly every day these people made my child enjoy each day of nursery/preschool. They helped me with any concerns and gave me feedback regularly about my son's activities and how is he developing.

Since my son started Barley Lane Nursery he has become so much more sociable, and mature and seems happier as a whole. He always talks about his peers and teachers and is always smiling. He seems so much more settled. The staff are really caring and friendly. Very responsible staff members.

We found the nursery to be very well run and organised. Being able to now come inside the building is a huge improvement and the children enjoy being able to show mum and dad where they spend their time and what they do. All the staff are a pleasure to deal with, always friendly and patient even if
the child is distressed or misbehaving. The children all seem to have a very close bond with each other which shows they enjoy their time at nursery.

I am extremely happy for choosing Barley Lane Preschool for my daughter. A friend recommended them to me, and I can honestly say that they are the best, friendly staff with good communication skills, very supportive and caring staff. My daughter has really improved since she joined the nursery, her
speech has improved, and she is always happy.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.043)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.043) out of 10 for Barley Lane Montessori Preschool and Afterschool Centre 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.943 for Barley Lane Montessori Preschool and Afterschool Centre is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.943

  • 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 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barley Lane Montessori Preschool and Afterschool Centre is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.5

  • 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.
