My daughter goes to Loughton Bright Horizons, she absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, always keeping me updated and at ease that my daughter is happy. My daughter is always provided with great activities and the staff in her room always make sure her individual
needs are met. My daughter has great bonds with her key worker and all staff always saying their names. I can see she is starting to make strong bonds with her peers. Me and my husband feel happy that now she is in nursery, her social skills have improved so much so thank you so much.

My little boy has been attending Teddies for over two years now and I can’t recommend the nursery setting/pre-school enough. The staff in the room are all amazing as well as the cover and the reception staff. They will always keep you updated and help with any queries and are always very approachable
and extremely friendly. My little boys loves each and every one of them! My little boy is a very fussy eater and they have encouraged him to try new food and will always accommodate him if won’t eat the food offered. My sons learning has also come on a lot in the last year and he loves role play ands outdoor play and I look forward to him staying here until he starts school next September.

My toddler son absolutely loves being at Teddies. He has developed strong bonds with the staff and has thrived in this environment. The office and management have always been friendly and accommodating. The staff is always keen to provide a full report of your child's day and genuinely care about the
children. Overall, I would strongly recommend this nursery and am so happy that we have secured a place for our child.

My son has been at the nursery from one year old. After looking at nine other nurseries Teddies was the one that instantly made me feel comfortable, the staff were so welcoming, the layout of nursery is great and the overall feel was exactly what we were looking for.


Since being at the nursery my

son has grown and developed so much, he is always excited to go in and always smiling when he comes up. The nursery keep us up to date throughout the day with activities they are doing, photos, mealtimes and menus.


I could not recommend them enough - amazing!

I've always had a good experience of Bright Horizons Teddies Loughton Day Nursery and Preschool and think they have coped really professionally through lockdown etc with Covid measures. Although I do miss not being able to enter the building and see my child's environment, I will very much welcome the
long overdue new app when it is launched as I'm sure it will tell me more about my child's day. All the staff are very accommodating and overall I feel very satisfied that my child is receiving the best care and attention.

We are very happy with our choice of nursery. All of the staff are friendly, approachable and caring. They were very supportive during the settling in period and proactively updated us on my child’s progress so we didn’t need to worry. The team seem to understand our children well and they give them
plenty of time outside which is very important to us. Our children have come on leaps and bounds since they started six months ago. We have seen a marked improvement in their speech and understanding and behaviour. Finally, the nursery management and team’s handling of the virus situation has been nothing but professional and reassuring. A big thank you to the whole team.

We were very happy when my son started at the nursery. The staff were extremely welcoming and immediately engaged with him. Since joining the nursery he is much more comfortable with the people and other children. He has developed very well and his learning skills have drastically improved. He is ready
to start school. Whilst all the staff have been fantastic, we would like to thank one in particular. She helped ease him in and has been there for him ever since.

My daughter is quite nervous and the staff in pre school always greet her warmly and help her feel confident to leave me. She always speaks fondly of her day at nursery and adores her carers which is nice to hear. Since starting she has been learning phonics and can now write her name all by herself,
I’m happy that she is learning new things regularly:

Teddies is great. My son has come very far since being in Caterpillars, the staff in there have been brilliant with him. He was always very happy in there and I feel he has progressed very well. Now he is in Butterflies, the continued outstanding work has just got better and better. My son has enjoyed
his time at Teddies and we will be very sad to leave in September.

Brilliant staff and management. My daughter has always been very happy at Teddies. She has learnt a lot and her speech has improved massively over the last 3 months thanks to the input and effort the staff put into children's individual needs and development.
The nursery provides fun activities and
updates resources and facilities outside on a regular basis. All members of the staff are professional, caring and fantastic at what they do. Thank you.

My little boy has settled really quickly and all the babycare staff have been so amazing with him.
I'm always greeted with enthusiasm and know that my little boy is in safe hands. It's made the transition back to work really easy. The staff also give me advice when I'm at a loss for instance with teething.
Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My children have attended this nursery for 7 years. Bright Horizons Teddies Loughton Day Nursery and Preschool have helped them grow confidently and kindly. Currently, my daughter is in preschool. The staff are outstanding, they have helped my daughter learn academically including writing her name.
They are so proactive and they managed a complex issue through supervised play and resolved it compassionately and professionally. The staff clearly care for each child. They have been so supportive of me as a mother, especially if transport has been late and I have been unavailable and delayed. I would not bring my children anywhere else. This is a well managed and happy nursery.

Our son has been with the nursery since he is 6 months old. He settled in straight away and enjoyed every day over the last 18 months. He is developing very well and enjoys the variety of activities on offer. His dirty clothes are proof of how much fun he has every day. He eats and sleeps well and even
starts making friends now bonding with some of the children in particular. The girls are lovely, looking after the boisterous boy really well, comfort him when he is poorly, tell us when he has been naughty and best of all make us feel that he is kept safe and happy all day long.

I am extremely happy with my child's progress since moving into pre-school. He seems to have learnt lots of new skills, made lots of friends and generally developed in all areas. I am particularly happy with the two permanent members of staff who seem to put a lot of effort in and seem to know him well.
They give very good, detailed feedback on nursery life which I find very reassuring and alert us to any issues.
An excellent nursery overall with a family atmosphere.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Teddies Loughton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 5.000 for Bright Horizons Teddies Loughton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Teddies Loughton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 13 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 13 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.
