  • Little Oaks at The Oratory Prep School, Reading
The Little Oaks Nursery at The Oratory Prep School was opened in 2005 and offers both term time and full time provision. The children have busy and exciting days with lots of activities and learning, both inside and outside. The Forest School takes children in every age group for a class once a week, and Kindergarten children also have a weekly swimming lesson in the onsite school pool. The children are all part of the school community and the older children in Year 8 regularly take part in activities with Nursery and Kindergarten - for example reading stories with them.

Having moved around the country, we have tried multiple nurseries and Little Oaks is by far the best we have ever used. The facilities are incredible, the children get to do dance, and even PE and swimming when they’re in kindergarten/pre-reception. The staff are unbelievably kind and attentive, they
treat the children like they’re one big family and I love that. My daughter would run in happy as anything, every day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.114) out of 10 for Little Oaks at The Oratory Prep School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Little Oaks at The Oratory Prep School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.114 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Oaks at The Oratory Prep School is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.114

  • 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.
