As a mother, we simply want our children to be happy and be safe at nursery. I am so thankful to Bright Horizons in Farnborough for their support over the years. My daughter frequently wants to go back into the nursery at a pickup which shows how much fun she has there. I also love the feedback letters
received. The staff are always responsive and caring. We used to go to another Bright Horizons nursery and am so glad we changed to Bright Horizons Farnborough as they even have a soft play inside. Thank you, team!

This nursery has been extremely committed to my child's development. Despite my son's difficulties in many areas, the change he has made to his learning is astonishing.
I would like to thank all the staff, especially his key worker.

My son has attended this preschool since January 2018. We cannot fault the care my son has received and the extra support he needed was given without hesitation.
My son has always enjoyed coming to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds thanks to them.
Thank you so much and I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend.

Our experience with Bright Horizons Farnborough started in June in 2016 when my eldest daughter was 11 months old. The staff have been extremely caring and supportive of both my girls and us, as parents.
I'm impressed with the activities throughout all the rooms but especially in preschool and how
well they've worked to prepare my daughter for school.
I'm sad my daughter won't complete her full journey here as my other daughter has done but unfortunately, logistics won't allow for it. Thank you.

We have used the nursery for the last 8 years for our 2 children and in that time, there has never been a moment when I thought that this was not the right setting for them. The kindness and encouragement that they have been shown in each room has been fantastic and the preschool senior room has prepared
them very well for "big school". They have loved the space in the garden and the soft play and dance studio areas and extra activities like cooking.

Lovely nursery, my little girl has been there for nearly one year and loves it. She started in the baby room aged 8 months and has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are friendly and knowledgable, having a great relationship with the children they look after. The nursery always acknowledges special
days and makes them fun - the last one being the lovely Mothers Day afternoon tea. Thank you all at Footsteps.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Farnborough 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.798 for Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.798

  • 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 Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 31 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8, which has been reached with 31 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

Joined: 2009

I have always had a passion for child development and securing the foundations for children to succeed to the best of their abilities. Following completion of my childcare qualifications, I then went on to complete my level 5 leadership and management.


In 2009 I started my career as an apprentice and progressed along the way resulting in me being able to support and guide staff in the direction of success and fulfilling their goals in their careers.


I’ve worked for a nursery group in Brighton and Hove for 13 years which was then brought by Bright Horizons in December 2021.


I lived in Brighton my whole life before moving to Farnborough in 2021.


I am a proud mummy of 2 little girls and I absolutely love it.

Job Title: Deputy Nursery Manager

Hi! I'm Holly, the deputy manager at Farnborough Bright Horizons.


I started my career as a bank staff at our Church Crookham branch back in 2014 and absolutely loved it. I moved away from the area to Devon for a couple of years before I came back and re-entered my career at Farnborough. I love making a difference in the lives of our families and strive to make everyone feel welcome and at home within my setting.


I have my little boy Harvey, who also attends the nursery and he loves it! Especially the soft play area and indoor slide. We look forward to welcoming you to the nursery.
