The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Altrincham Preparatory School and Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.892 for Altrincham Preparatory School and Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.892
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 Altrincham Preparatory School and Nursery is based on 10 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 10 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.

I then went on to qualify as an Early Years Teacher, which has given me a thorough understanding of how best to support children's learning and development between the ages of 0-5. Since joining the Nursery at APS in 2018, I have been lucky enough to work closely with it's dedicated team who are truly committed to providing a positive experience for our boys and their families.

Hello, I am Miss Parkinson and I am ready to welcome you to Nursery with a friendly smile and a positive nature.

I then later went on to qualify as a level
2 Teaching Assistant in 2021. I have gained experience though working in private day nurseries and as a private nanny, finally then finding my lovely and wholesome working home at Altrincham Preparatory School. I love it here and I am sure your children will too!

I hold a degree in Communication and have gained diverse experiences in roles that involve working with people, including teaching at high school level.

In 2022, I took on an exciting role in Nursery, where I have committed myself to providing dedicated and positive support for the youngest boys in the school and their families. Last summer, I completed my Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification, further enhancing my skills and passion for supporting little learners.
