Thank you for your review.
It is so lovely to welcome siblings and have families return to us with their younger children.
We also have plans next year to try to make our outdoor space bigger, which will continue to show our commitment to investing in the nursery and reviewing what we offer.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very fortunate to have a beautiful sensory room that does give another experience to learning for the children however we are currently developing our outdoor area to ensure it also reflects a wide variety of learning opportunities.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) out of 10 for Building Blocks Nursery - Great Barr 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.919 for Building Blocks Nursery - Great Barr is calculated as follows: ( (410 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.919
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 Building Blocks Nursery - Great Barr is based on 37 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 41 number of registered child places is 8.2, which has been reached with 37 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.
