A spacious and enriching nursery in Bracknell

Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool is bright, homely and welcoming, with carefully designed features and layout to support your child’s education and development, from 3 months to 5 years.

Each age-appropriate room has play and learning resources to engage the natural curiosity of your child. Practitioners in the Baby Room use their knowledge and the variety of exciting resources to support cognitive, muscle and motor skills development, as well as standing, walking and speech. There is also a separate baby sleeping room for those quieter times. Toddlers love learning about the world around them, challenging their growing independence and understanding through word play, number games and teamwork.

The Growing Enhancements programme for preschoolers, unique to Bright Horizons, includes Growing Readers, Writers and Mathematicians, alongside Growing Artists and Creative Cooks. These enriching activities are designed to encourage your child’s natural curiosity to learn, and inspire their interest in food and art, helping to lay the foundations for future academic and creative achievements.

The nursery in Bracknell has a beautiful garden, split into separate areas for each age and stage. Children love spending time outdoors, exploring nature through the mud kitchen and planting boxes, and practising their coordination on the balance equipment. In the summer, children enjoy bug hunting, reading under the canopy, and learning about the foods they can harvest from the growing area.

The long-standing team would love to meet you and your little one, so book a visit today and they will show you everything the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

All the staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
My daughter is in the baby room and the team there have been so supportive of our transition into nursery.
I get regular updates on her well-being and activities throughout the day through the app.
I cannot recommend Brighton Horizons Bracknell
enough.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Bracknell Day Nursery since she was 9 months, she's now 27 months.
The staff, learning and trust I have with the team at Bright Horizons is amazing. My little girl has barely disliked going in and has always strived since attending. Developing ahead of
her friends of the same age who don't attend nursery.
She says night to her teachers before bed and sometimes asks to go to school which shows she enjoys it. Her enjoyment is the real testament to this nursery.
Thanks Bright Horizons!

Our little girl has been coming to Bright Horizons Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool since September 2023 and we couldn't be happier with the nursery and how the staff have helped her settle and transition into the next room this year. The range of activities offered to the children is amazing and
she always comes home telling me what she has done today as well as who she has seen (the staff names are always the first shared!) She has made really lovely relationships with the staff, particularly her key workers and we are always given a summary of how she has been at pick-up. She loves coming to Bright Horizons and we are very grateful to all of the fantastic staff who work there.

A wonderful nursery and preschool! Our daughter attended Bright Horizons Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool from being in the baby room when she turned 1 and is now off to school aged nearly 5. She has absolutely loved her time here and has never had a bad day. The garden is great, excellent food,
lots of resources to play with and support with whatever she needs.
Lastly, the staff are wonderful and are all so happy, with a very low staff turnover. Also, so great to see two long-term male staff members here! Management is great, always improving the setting and supporting their staff. We are sad to say goodbye as our daughter moves on to school but recommend this setting to everyone.

Really happy with this nursery. The staff in the babies' room have been so supportive and really help with ideas so that I can face the challenges when at home.
They have been helpful in all transitions (starting bottle, stopping bottle, sleeping without rocking etc.) and he is so happy to be handed
over each morning! I completely trust the staff there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.809 for Bright Horizons Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.809

  • 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 Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 28 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
