Good morning, thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave such a wonderful review! We love our outdoor play and firmly believe that children thrive and flourish in nature! The children and practitioners all love their new garden too and are spending as much time out there as possible! Communication and maintaining the nursery and parent relationship are so important to us, so it is great to hear that the use of our app is so effective. I love the food too, when I visit the nurseries I always make sure have a little plate! We put a lot of work into our menu, working with a nutritionist to make sure that every meal is both delicious and nutritious! If there are any team members in particular that you would like to mention, please do email me - reward and recognition is something of great importance to us, and we love to celebrate our practitioner's hard work!

Hi - thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! It's wonderful to hear that your daughter has transitioned to nursery with the help of our team. We put a huge emphasis on that settling-in period, as it can be stressful for children (and parents!) to start nursery, so it's really great to see that it is working. The team at the nursery are so wonderful, and I too get that warm and cosy feeling when I visit! We are really proud of our menu - I always make sure to visit the nurseries at lunchtime so I can have a plate of the lovely food! We love our outdoor play and firmly believe that children thrive and flourish in nature! If there are any team members you would like to mention in particular, please let me know - we take reward and recognition very seriously and love to celebrate our hard-working practitioners!

We put a huge emphasis on that settling-in period, as it can be stressful for children (and parents!) to start at a new nursery, so it's really great to see that it is working. We make sure to only employ the most passionate and dedicated practitioners in our nurseries, and it is great to see that this is reflected in your daughter's development. We are really proud of our menu - I always make sure to visit the nurseries at lunchtime so I can have a plate of the lovely food! Every child's individual needs are vitally important, so I'm pleased that this is being reflected even in the meals the chef provides to ensure your child can still enjoy the tasty food on offer, despite navigating the milk ladder.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.867 for Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.867
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 Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 26 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
