The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Hither Green 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.956 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Hither Green is calculated as follows: ( (389 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.956
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 Hither Green is based on 34 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8, which has been reached with 34 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.

“A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkles them with love and patiently nurtures their growth to produce tomorrow’s dreams”
As a mummy of two busy little children, I understand and respect the importance of ensuring every child receives the best 'OUTSTANDING' childcare they deserve.
I believe children learn best when feeling safe and secure within their environment. Learning takes place through play, especially focused activities within their interests, engaging their imagination and expanding their knowledge of the world. Creating and extending opportunities for children through their play has always been my passion and I take great pride in supporting my team to educate our children in this way. I believe encouraging children to be confident, independent, and full of self-worth is key to giving them a firm foundation on which to build their future. I strive to ensure that communication is high-quality
I hold a Bachelor of Education Foundation Stage degree, Quality Teacher Status and qualifications in Business Administration and Management alongside completing my Operations Management Course within childcare. I have over 18 years of experience within the childcare sector which mostly is within Early Years. I have recently completed a Level 3 SENCO qualification. This helps me to ensure that all children are supported and included in our setting.
My vision is to create an outstanding learning environment where children feel safe, unique and valued.

Job Title: Deputy Manager and Well-being Lead
Joined: 2021
My name is Mel, and I currently serve as the Deputy Manager and Wellbeing Lead at Monkey Puzzle Hither Green Day Care Nursery. My journey in childcare began when I earned my CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Child Care and Education, which ignited my passion for Early Years education. I firmly believe in the importance of laying a strong foundation for a child's future during their earliest developmental stages, which inspired me to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Years. For the past three years, I have been a proud member of the Monkey Puzzle family, where I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of childcare settings, including primary schools, nurseries, crèches, and as a nanny. Each of these experiences has enriched my understanding and approach to nurturing children's growth, helping me to set deep roots in this rewarding field.
