Report
I don't want to say too much for fear of breaching the review policy on here, but suffice to say that the nursery is not what it once was. To the point
My concerns were raised with the nursery on a few occasions and actually saw some improvements made, but there is so much more that I feel could be done.
Also, the staff listed on this site are no longer present at Owl and Bear, as turnover in that area is one of the highest I have ever seen in my 25-year career.

In terms of improvements to be made, I would love to see the nursery use an online tool to upload work and info too so that my partner and I can log onto view. I know many nurseries use this nowadays, but this one seems to be a bit behind on the use of technology. It could help improve the involvement of parents and help parent engagement and communication.
Reply from Annabel Bushell, Deputy Manager at Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare
At our nursery we haven't yet brought into an online or electronic portal with learning journeys or contacting parents, simply due to the safeguarding aspect and not feeling any of the systems, at present, are safe enough.
However, we will keep looking into different avenues surrounding this idea.
At present, paper-based Learning Journeys are constantly being updated on every individual, these can be accessed by a parent at any point. Along with the regular parents' meetings and open days.
Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery.

The Review Score of 7.1 (7.097) out of 10 for Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 3.833 for Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 3.833
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 3.264 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare is based on 2 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 = 3.125
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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.139
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.
