Over the last six years, every October, we have sent out Satisfaction Surveys to all Barnet state schools and PVIs and Childminders, asking three questions about BELS services:
Q1: How Satisfied are you with this service?
Extremely Satisfied
Satisfied
Not Satisfied
Not at all Satisfied
Q2: How likely (0-10) is it that you would recommend this Service to another school or setting or colleague?
Note:
Any response that gives 0-6 are termed ‘Detractors’
Any response that gives 7-8 are termed ‘Passive’
Any response that gives 9-10 are termed ‘Promoters’
The scores from all the respondents gives us a Net Promotor Score (NPS). These scores range from -100 to +100. To calculate the Net Promoter Score we subtract the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. e.g. if 50% of respondents were Promoters and 10% were Detractors, the Net Promoter is a score of 40.
Q3: Why did you give this score?

Analysis of the Satisfaction Surveys
When the surveys closed, we analysed the responses in order to give us:
a percentage for each service who were either Extremely Satisfied or Satisfied; We received an overall satisfaction level of 96.16%, the highest level of satisfaction since we started doing these surveys. It is pleasing to note the five-year improving trend regarding the schools’ satisfaction with our services.
