Thank you for taking the time to submit a review.
I have fed your comments back to the Nursery Manager. She has confirmed the Air Con is up and running, and they are having a new unit fitted soon.
She will keep all parents updated through the Parent Memo.
Please feel free to check in with her for updates.
Kind Regards,

Eating was one of my, so many, worries, then when I
The nursery has done an excellent job of supporting the kids learning in many areas. In the last 7 months, my son has made so much progress. One thing I would like to highlight is that they really support and encourage bilingual. His key person(s) can even say some words in my own dialect to make my little one comfortable and to build that connection. Amazing!
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

The nursery has spacious rooms with big windows allowing natural light in, lots of toys, books – even a slide in my son’s room! There are also different
We are also impressed by the staff and management team. Friendly, approachable, they always take time to welcome our boy once he comes in and discuss with us his progress and things we can do either at home or what they are planning to do at the nursery to further support his development.
We also really like the activities he is participating in - gym class, cooking, drawing, walks on the Wharf, messy play. Lastly, we really appreciate the daily updates we receive talking us through his day.
We have seen him grow so much over the past 6 months and we are certain he is well taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery!

The practitioners are dedicated and close to the kids. If we ask for extra attention on some specific points, they always take care to update our son's nanny as she picks him up and/or to write some extra notes in the diary.
Our son has been going to CC for more than 2 years now and we are very satisfied with his experience. He loves the special activities such as the Spanish lessons, the sports sessions, and outdoor chalk drawing.

What struck us most about the nursery was the space - it’s spacious, clean, there’s lots of different activity rooms and the indoor play area is fantastic. So we knew our daughter would have fun, which would help her settle quicker.
Our little one has some allergies but there are clear processes in place to safeguard the children and as all the meals are prepared fresh on site, we know there’s no need to worry. I have recommended this nursery to lots of our friends and will continue to do so. Two thumbs up for Columbus Courtyard nursery and their fantastic staff!!

After an extremely awful experience for our son from another nursery, switching to Columbus Courtyard is certainly one of the best decisions we could’ve made. And perhaps, a decision which we will always regret of not having
Upon switching in Jan 2018, our son’s transformation was phenomenal. Within about 4-5 weeks, our son has come out of his shell again. Transforming from an extremely quiet and reserved little boy and into this much bubblier and confident child (much his usual self!). He’s willing to talk again, to interact and learn to trust his carers, started to make friends again to other children etc.
I can say my son (and younger daughter now) are in extremely good hands: physically, socially and emotionally – under Columbus Courtyard’s care. Couldn’t rate this nursery higher!
P.S. Not just the staff, fellow parents here are lovely as well. This is always a great bonus.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Columbus Courtyard Day Nursery and Preschool 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.902 for Bright Horizons Columbus Courtyard Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.902
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 Bright Horizons Columbus Courtyard Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 24 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 110 number of registered child places is 22, which has been reached with 24 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Hello, I'm Tyler, the Nursery Manager at Columbus Courtyard.
With a master's degree in Childhood Studies and a background as a qualified teacher, I've explored various roles like nursery nurse, mentor, holiday club manager, nanny, teaching assistant, and deputy manager. The early years are where I feel most at home, finding immense reward in giving children a strong start to flourish into well-rounded individuals.
My focus lies in supporting children's emotional well-being and instilling vital skills like co and self-regulation, crucial for their future resilience. Additionally, I'm passionate about metacognition and fostering key learning behaviours in the early years for lifelong support. Beyond direct work with children, I thrive on supporting families, building robust parent partnerships, and recognising parents as lifelong influencers in a child's learning journey.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Hello
I have worked in childcare for over 20 years and joined Bright Horizons in 2019. I have had the opportunity to gain more managerial experience while still working in rooms sharing my knowledge and introducing new songs to the children. I have built good relations with the children and parents and this is reflected in the nursery. I have been a part of the team to helped build the nursery and gain a strong Ofsted rating and look forward to working alongside the new management team to drive the success of the nursery.
