My daughter has had the most amazing time here at the nursery. Staff are great, professional and caring. I feel my daughter is safe and well looked after when I drop her off and that is very important to me.

The nursery is a safe and engaging environment. The staff know the children well and offer a positive and loving place for them to learn. Staff have been fantastic in pre-school and always have time to discuss any queries or concerns I may have. My children are both very different characters and in
the 7 years, I have used the nursery the staff have always met their needs to a high standard. Thank you.

I only put my son in from May this year and I think the nursery is great. My son has settled in really well and is really happy. That is down to the lovely and caring staff. They made sure he had lots of settling in classes before he officially started which I thought was great and made both myself
and son feel at ease. The staff are great and really caring and friendly. I would defiantly recommend this nursery to my friends and family.

My son joined the nursery last year after a bad experience at a previous one. All the staff made such an effort to get him a space quickly and were great at helping him to settle. He is now in pre-school and the teachers are fantastic, he loves going there and has lots of fun. He has grown in confidence
and learnt so much which I know is mainly down to the staff and the nursery as a whole.

Generally a well run nursery, however, the recent changes within management have impacted I feel the day to day running of the nursery. Having said this new manager has recently been employed and things to be changing which is great!
Most staff go above and beyond their duty which is reassuring when
my child is in their care for 10 hours a day.
The nursery offers a wide range of activities including stretch'n'grow and football.

My daughter attends this nursery and is currently in babycare room.
The staff there are so friendly and caring - my daughter will literally run up to the gate upon arrival and put her arms out to her carers.
As a full-time mum it can be often difficult to know what goes on at nursery, however, my
daughter shows me so many things at home, which I know I haven't taught her!! Such as blowing kisses, using a spoon and pointing to her eyes, nose, mouth etc.
Knowing how happy my daughter is there and how understanding and catering the staff are there to a self-confessed fussy mum!! I really couldn't recommend this place highly enough!!!

We only started Teddies in September, it was very hard to leave my little one but so glad we did. He has now fully settled and he loves going to nursery, he does so many fun activities and talks of his day when he's collected. The smile on his face shows I made the right choice .
The staff at the nursery
are all so energetic, motivated and they clearly have a passion for the work they do :) the manager and deputy have a great working relationship and are very approachable and give sound advice for new mummy's experiencing nursery life. I'd highly recommend a viewing at Teddies, you feel the buzz as soon as you walk through the door x

Teddies Nursery is a wonderful nursery that cares deeply about all of the children in their care. My daughter loves her Teachers and over the last 3 years we have seen her grow in self-confidence, build upon her social skills and gain a passion for learning. The nursery is really a home from home,
if my daughter needs a cuddle, she gets one, some reassurance, she gets it and most of all, she gets the love and nurturing from the staff. The Manager has worked in partnership with me over the last 3 years, listening to my needs as well as my daughters. The level of early years provision is outstanding, which to me is really the icing on the cake. Teddies is a warm and inviting setting that I would be recommend highly.

My daughter loves going to Teddies. She started when she was 8 months old and she is now 14 months. I cannot recommend them enough. The staff are lovely, warm and welcoming. My daughter gets so excited just walking up to the gates and she always puts her arms out to go to the girls that work in the
baby room. I have no concerns about leaving her at the nursery and I know she will have a fun, interactive and happy day at the nursery. The induction period was excellent and they slowly eased her into the nursery with me there as well so we could both get use to her going to nursery and to the baby room and getting to know the other members of staff. If I have ever had any queries or questions I know that they will get answered and dealt with promptly. Teddies is a fantastic nursery.

Returning to work after maternity leave is never easy, leaving your 10 month old in the care of a stranger is even harder. Teddies made the transition so easy, the Manager was a god send for me, along with all of her staff, even when my little one was tearful when I left him, or poorly she would check
in on him and drop me a line to let me know he was ok.


My not so little on is now in his second year here, The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, the classrooms are clean and stimulating with attached garden areas to have outdoor activities. The facilities are great, they even have pets onsite for the kids to learn about animals.


The patients of these ladies are amazing, my little one is a really fussy eater and they always manage to get him up table to have a nutritional meal made fresh on the premises. Amazingly he’s even been back for seconds on numerous occasions, which will speak volumes for all the parents out there who have fussy eaters themselves.


I really can’t commend Teddies Loughton enough.

We are very happy with the exceptional care our son receives from the staff in the baby room at Teddies. All the staff are positive, caring and warm. The management team in the office and our son's key carer are fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Teddies as a safe and happy environment.

This Nursery is fantastic!


The facilities, staff and learning materials are great. My daughter attends this nursery full-time and loves it. She is advanced for her age and have to give the credit to the nursery and the workers for the attention and effort they show her. The girls in every room

are friendly & approachable. It is very apparent that they are all very passionate about their jobs and the children.


The management staff are also brilliant. They're always willing extremely helpful, friendly and professional.


The food options for the children are also really good. they have a large outside play space which is perfect for the children, with lots of different things to do and play with.


I would highly recommend this nursery!

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.
