As a working parent, my experience with this nursery has been frustrating. Communication is poor, relying on overwhelming emails that lack personal interaction. A major issue is their inflexible scheduling, which forces parents to separate siblings. They accept primary school students from 7:30 AM but
refuse younger siblings until 8:00 AM, despite being on the same site. This rigid policy creates unnecessary stress.
When I raised concerns, the response was dismissive, suggesting I should "look elsewhere" if unhappy. This reflects a troubling lack of customer service and empathy. It's no surprise that other working parents have withdrawn their children and sought alternatives outside the village. The nursery seems unaware of the negative impact this approach has on their reputation. Overall, this nursery fails to support modern working families. Despite its convenient location, I cannot recommend it due to poor management and a lack of consideration for parents' needs.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 2.1 (2.083) out of 10 for Biddenden PlaySchool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 2.1 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0.0 out of 5 from 0 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 2.083 for Biddenden PlaySchool is calculated as follows: ( (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 2.083

  • 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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Biddenden PlaySchool is based on 0 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) =

    • 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0

  • 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.
