Thank you for the lovely review and we are delighted that the Forest School is allowing your son to flourish. We have seen that the power of the outside world really facilitates learning opportunities in a fun and engaging way. The children learn without pressure and enjoy discovering the world around them while developing their vocabulary, and communication skills and establishing strong bonds with their teachers.

It gives us great pleasure to hear about your son's positive experience in the wonderful outdoor environment that our Forest School offers. The teachers and managers are constantly seeking new ways to engage the children in the natural world which captures the children's imagination and develops their love and respect for our environment. Your son's enjoyment of the Forest school is a joy to all who care for him. The level of interaction between him and the staff offers many opportunities to learn. This is enhanced by the high teacher-to-child ratio of 1 adult to every 4 children.

With a genuine love for nature
I can't say enough about how much my daughter has fallen in love with the great outdoors since she started here. The forest becomes her playground.
They strike a great balance between learning stuff and just letting the kids be kids!

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Rainbow Forest 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.954 for Rainbow Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.954
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 Rainbow Forest School is based on 11 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 16 number of registered child places is 3.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
