I would highly recommend Bright Horizons, Beaufort Park for any parents looking to start their little ones in nursery. Since the change of management team, we have seen a huge improvement in service, communication and are so grateful for the care provided for our son, who started in the under 2's room
and will be transferring to 2-3 room very soon! He really loves his carers in the room and was able to establish good bonds with all of them in a few week's time. Beaufort Park has also very sensibly taken the time to transition him into the 2-3s room the last two weeks, introducing him to his new key person and new friends. Our son is happy to go to nursery every morning and would give cuddles to them! We especially love the updates provided throughout the day, which include pictures and very nice descriptions of activities. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Bright Horizons Beaufort Park since they reopened in September 2021. The management is amazing. They are always helpful, always answer your questions. They accept any feedback from a parent every time you approach them. The staff as well is great. Our daughter is really happy to visit
the nursery and to spend a full time there. I believe this is the most important! Thank you all!

The standard of this nursery is very bad. Made some complaints but the management can't be bothered to improve the situation. Very poor service. There are much better options in this area. Do not recommend at all.

My son has been attending this nursery for 6 months now. The team in the baby room are amazing. Staff are warm, loving and caring. This makes me feel confident that my child is well looked after during the day. He also enjoys coming to the nursery and team welcome him with hugs and cuddles.

I've placed my second child at this daycare and all the staff are welcoming, caring and loving. They took excellent care of my eldest and now my youngest child. The facilities are excellent and the children are always engaged in fun activities.

Wonderful experience. My daughter settled in the baby room very quickly and she loves coming to the nursery. She eats well, sleeps and has lots of fun. This is all thanks to the excellent staff, management and chef. I really appreciate the safe and positive environment. The only area (that however,
I am not asking to improve for obvious reasons) is the outside space is not that big and in the shadow, but at least there is a safe outside space. I will definitely recommend to anyone. Excellent structure.

I highly recommend the nursery. My daughter has settled in well and has developed so many skills. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I really have peace of mind knowing my daughter is well looked after and is in a safe environment. Well done to all the teachers and staff here. It really is
not easy taking care of toddlers and you all do a fantastic job. Thanks for making our experience with the nursery memorable and we look forward to working with you continuously and further development from our daughter.

My child attends nursery essentially full-time and absolutely adores it. Having recently joined the toddler room, I feel she has settled in very well. The environment is very engaging and the staff are warm and committed to the children. It's a good sign, that when pick-up time rolls around, my daughter
is often having so much fun that she's reluctant to leave. It's a great reassurance for me, to know that I'm leaving my child in a place where she is well cared for and I trust the staff implicitly. I would happily recommend Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Nursery and Preschool to my friends and family.

If you are looking to put your child in 2-3s and above, please reconsider. The standard of these rooms is very bad. The staff don't care for the kids and the health and safety of these rooms are very poor. Even after several complaints, the management and the room leader don't care or bother to improve
the situation. They are more focused on numbers as they know that even if you leave, a lot of others will join the nursery. So, they don't really put any effort in improving the care for the children. For the price that you are paying, the nursery is not worth it. Your child will be much more happy in another place.
FYI: The toddlers room is currently okay as it has an excellent room leader. If she leaves, then there is nothing good about this place.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.603)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.603) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.686 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 14 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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.4 = 0.686

  • 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.

Hello,


I completed my level 3 in child care 9 years ago and have loved this job since then. Supporting babies in their development, and seeing them grow and blossom into unique little individuals is really rewarding. In particular, I admire their endless energy, honesty and creativity – it keeps me on my toes and wanting to continue to develop my knowledge to be the best I can be for the children, their families and the team at Beaufort Park.
