Honestly, I could not ask for a better nursery for my son. Not only has he made some lovely friends he has made some wonderful relationships with the staff. Since joining the Old School House 1 year ago, his speech has come on significantly, he shares more with his brothers at home and he now loves
to ride his balance bike, which he learnt to do at nursery. I love that they do activities with the children! I recommend them to anyone!

Our daughter has had the most wonderful experience at The Old School House Walmley since starting. She has developed so much and continues to each week, we can see progress in her personal and social skills, confidence, communication and she is always happy to go and happy when she comes home. The team
are fantastic and when she struggled at the beginning to settle, we were not pressured in any way to leave her and I had the opportunity to stay and play, which helped her to settle. I get feedback every day and on the app regularly throughout the day and I always feel that she is safe and well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery, I was very anxious about leaving her at the start and I am so pleased to see how much she has thrived whilst being at this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for The Old School House Nursery Walmley 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.976 for The Old School House Nursery Walmley is calculated as follows: ( (411 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 419 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 The Old School House Nursery Walmley is based on 35 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 35 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.
