There's always a worry about leaving my child with someone else, but when bringing him into nursery I know he will have the best time while being correctly cared for.
Time in the Sun room seems to be going very fast! I just
We really appreciate all the care and time spent with him. It has really helped our little one become a super noisy, happy and clever toddler and I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow.
It's also lovely to see the manager so involved with each of the rooms and having such a lovely bond with so many of the children.
Only half negative comment - when new staff members are joining the room, it would be nice for them to introduce themselves. I am unsure how many people work in the Sun Room, but there are only 2 I know the names off.

Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 8.2 (8.230) out of 10 for Newcastle Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 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 4.806 for Newcastle Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.806
-
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 3.424 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Newcastle Kindergarten 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.174
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.
