  • Bright Horizons Fleet Day Nursery and Preschool, Fleet
A beautiful setting in Fleet, The Key

This beautiful nursery is located at The Key, and is in a great location for parents commuting into London. Situated in a purpose-built building and located on a beautiful new estate, where the children often visit the nature reserve and enjoy trips to the local parks. Every parent also has the additional benefit of having extended opening times from 7.30am – 6.30pm.

The children in the nursery are well prepared to transition to school through Bright Horizons Unique Ready for School Programme, which includes bespoke Growing Readers, Writers and Mathematicians programmes, which is taught by the nursery level 6 Manager, 3 level 6 Preschool Teachers and experienced staff team.

The nursery has its very own Dance Studio and three large separate gardens that the children can explore in all weathers. The beautiful nursery also features an Active Athletes room and Creative Cooks room, helping to foster a love of learning from an early age.

All-inclusive fees mean that you have less to pack on a busy morning, with everything from healthy lunches and snacks to branded nappies and wipes included.

The team at Fleet nursery looks forward to welcoming you and your little one. The friendly, experienced and highly qualified staff are on hand to conduct a personal nursery tour, so book a visit today and they will show you all the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons Fleet since August 2020 when she joined during Covid times. Given the difficult circumstances the team and her key worker did everything possible to get her settled. She has thrived in the setting since. Now in pre school she looks forward to attending, has a
solid group of friends and we can see a clear path of learning and development which has been possible due to the efforts and engagement from the team. The variation of activities at the nursery has definitely increased in recent months to give even more variety to their days and enjoyment. The team are great at regular updates on the app and know the children well. Thank you!

My daughter has been at the nursery since 2020 and my son recently started in the baby room. All of the room staff are very approachable, as is the manager who has done a great job getting to know the parents since she came on board and you can see they all take great care of the children in their care.
The settling-in for my son took a little longer, but the nursery were very supportive and offered more sessions which in turn has meant he is super happy and settled in the room now he is full-time. Equally, my daughter has a fantastic relationship with her key worker in the preschool room (and loves all of the staff). She loves going to nursery and the activities are always varied. The daily updates on the app are great along with the varied menu for lunch and dinner. Overall, very happy with both the baby and preschool room and would recommend.

We have been very impressed with the nursery since our daughter started in summer last year in the baby room. The managers have an open door policy and are available for chats regularly. The facilities are great and the menu is varied and our daughter enjoys the food. The staff are all very lovely and
fantastic with the children. I love seeing the updates with lots of pictures via the app most days - it helps give me peace of mind that our daughter is having a lovely time. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Bright Horizons is a wonderful nursery, my son started in February and I feel he has settled in really well. The team in the baby room are brilliant, drop off and pick-ups are a breeze especially important for myself and my partner as we both work full time. I really enjoy the daily updates and looking
at the photos, it’s a great insight into what my son gets up to.

Our daughter has been in Hedgehogs for around a year, during which time she developed some special dietary needs. The whole nursery team have been absolutely fantastic in accommodating this, ensuring she takes her medicine and helping her adjust to a new plan. We can see that they really care about
the children they look after and we have always felt that our daughter is in really good hands. She loves going to nursery and we have been so impressed at how many different activities they have on each week.

My daughter has been going to nursery for 9 months now and loves it. The setting in process was very good. The room staff are brilliant, very approachable and always happy to share what they do in a day. The app is great to see what they eat, how long they nap for and pictures of things they do. The
Manager and Deputy Manager equally as approachable and very visible around the nursery at pick up and drop off if you need to speak to them.
I would definitely recommend Bright Horizons Fleet Day Nursery.

We love the staff from Bright Horizons. Comparing our daughter to some of her friends outside nursery, we can see that she is far more progressed in her development. We believe it's due to the attention and high standard of learning at Bright Horizons. The hedgehog class team are amazing, they always
greet you with a friendly smile. It is amazing to see how happy our daughter is, to go to nursery. The daily and weekly updates are great, to see what she is doing. The quarterly updates on progress helps so much, as we then understand what our daughter is doing and how we can contribute to her development at home.

All the staff work incredibly hard to nurture, support and encourage our little boy, making sure he is having fun and feels comfortable. He struggled with starting nursery at first, but after a short time, he is now really enjoying his time there and I have seen so much progression in him.
We are
so happy that we sent our son to Bright Horizons, Fleet and all the staff in the baby room are fantastic people.

We are very pleased with Bright Horizons in Fleet and in particular the baby room/Hedgehogs. Our daughter started in October last year when I returned to work and she has come on leaps and bounds. She is learning so much and developing so many social skills. We love all the fun activities the staff
do with the children and we especially love the outside space. Our daughter loves the big garden! The nursery is clean and the staff are always happy to help even with last minute requests for extra hours etc. Our favourite thing about the nursery is the app where we can log in and see exactly what our daughter has been up to and even see photos. This really makes our day when we are away from her at work. We are confident that our daughter is happy at nursery and believe that the staff really do care for the children.

My little one has been at Bright Horizons for nearly 3 years and she has truly blossomed during her time at this nursery! The staff are so welcoming to both parents and children and it is easy to address any queries or questions about her day to day learning. I can't praise all the ladies enough for
all their work with my little one! The app is also a welcomed bonus, with following her progress and learning. Not a day has gone by, that she hasn't wanted to go to nursery and we look forward to seeing how she grows in the short time she has left there.

Bright Horizons, Fleet, is a welcoming, caring environment for my son. He has been attending for over three years and the staff that have been looking after him, have consistently been absolutely superb. Especially now, in the pre-school room, he has really bonded with the teachers and can't wait to
go in, to see them, as well as all of his friends. Social interactivity is strongly encouraged and he has some inseparable friends, who are talked about non-stop at home. My wife and I, are super grateful to the entire team at Bright Horizons, for their help in raising our son.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Fleet 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.859 for Bright Horizons Fleet Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (305 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 Fleet Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 29 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 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 29 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.
