I would like to start my review with how brilliant the teaching staff are. They really make the children feel comfortable and safe at all times. My child was a bit reluctant at the start, but each and every teacher made her feel comfortable and made sure that she was fine at all times. Really happy
with the nursery and the atmosphere provided by the staff.

I have a great experience with the nursery and with the staff. I am so happy to see that my daughter's improved her speaking in English. Also, any time when I need the staff's help, they were more than welcome to help me. One word - this is the best nursery.

My son has been coming to this nursery from about one year ago. I'm very happy with all the staff. My son has become more friendly and less sensitive and I'm very happy with that.
Thank you to all the staff.

This nursery was the moment of joy for my little girl, in only 3-4 days although she was only 2.5 years old. She befriended the teachers and she is so happy to go every day. I am very excited about the way she started talking and she loves all the activities. For the way the teachers are involved, I
only have words of praise. I am always pleasantly surprised. Thank you, teachers!

I would like to recommend parents to consider this nursery as the communication of teachers to parents is brilliant and amazing. Observations sent to us via the app to know how the child is progressing and the children's safety is on point. Also, my son has learned so much since September 2020 with
communication, socializing, getting connected to other kids, learning lots of activities they perform at school, nursery rhymes and he has developed a lot with this place in the past months and it has helped my child and us a lot. I definitely recommend this nursery for your child too.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.994 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.994

  • 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 Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery is based on 15 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
