Thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention, we take all feedback very seriously. The views you have shared are somewhat unexpected. You expressed in an email on 12/09/24 that your children had been cared for by some incredible staff and you would not post anything negative about the nursery. In response to a lack of visible senior management, both an Assistant Manager and Deputy Manager have always been available and on site, apologies if this did not meet your expectations. Our aim is to provide the best possible care, and it is something we take very seriously. Once again, we are sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations and wish you and your family the best for the future.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.573) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Altrincham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.573 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Altrincham is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.573
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 Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Altrincham is based on 18 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
