  • Bright Kids Barley Lea, Coventry
Bright Kids Barley Lea, Coventry, opened in September 2021. Situated in the Stoke Aldermoor area of the city this nursery is able to serve other local districts as well, including Willenhall, Whitley & Binley. The Barley Lea Nursery will provide the same quality, friendly childcare services that Bright Kids have become know for across all of their other Midlands nurseries.

Bright Kids are proud to be taking over the Barley Lea nursery, based on The Barley Lea itself and close to Aldermoor Farm Primary School and St Catherines Church. The Barley Lea Nursery will continue to offer indoor and outdoor play on a daily basis, providing the children with essential play opportunities to learn from.

The facilities at Barley Lea include an outdoor classroom and a large play space that is ready for them to enhance further into an interesting environment for children to learn and explore. Indoors, babies have their own dedicated area with activities suitable for their development. Toddlers & Pre-school children share a space with integrated learning aimed at their individual learning needs.

The team plan to bring all of the experiences that they offer in their other settings to Barley Lea. Bright Kids has introduced a Curious theme to their learning as well as offering training to the whole team. They will also be looking to continue their adventures in the local area and seeing how they can interact with it through taking walks and joining in with local activities.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.017)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.017) out of 10 for Bright Kids Barley Lea is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.817 for Bright Kids Barley Lea is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.817

  • 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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Kids Barley Lea is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.6

  • 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.
