I cannot thank the staff team at Silkstone Pre-school enough for the attention to detail and the amount of care they give to my little boy. He has been settling in since September and I have been and continue to be extremely grateful for the way they have gotten to know him, gone out of their way and
bought some of his favourite things for their provision and also bought him things to aid his development. As a parent, these minor details mean the world to me as it shows the care they have for my child and there is nothing more you can ask for as a mum than someone to have a genuine, caring connection to your whole world. The way they have gotten to know him, in particular his key person in such a short space of time, makes me feel at ease that he is in very safe and capable hands. He talks about her lots at home and beams from ear to ear. I believe that working in childcare is not to have a job but to have a gift, and I'm so grateful that you are sharing that gift with us.

My little boy started at Silkstone pre-school playgroup in September. He had been attending another nursery prior to this but settled in here so well. He absolutely loves going and often asks me if he's going to nursery.
His key workers have made a real effort to get to know him well and they often
post pictures on the app that the nursery uses. It's great to see him doing so many different activities that help his learning and development on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My child has attended this nursery for the last two years. He's a happy, bubbly child who loves going and playing with his friends. The staff are wonderfully friendly and treat my little one as their own.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.744) out of 10 for Silkstone Pre-school Playgroup is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 4.917 for Silkstone Pre-school Playgroup is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.827 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Silkstone Pre-school Playgroup is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.577

  • 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.
