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.

All three of my children have attended the nursery and my daughter is currently in the eighteen-month to the two-year room, having just moved rooms from the baby room. Staff within the nursery are very welcoming and my daughter has been so happy in both rooms and we can tell she thoroughly enjoys her
time at nursery.

Being the mother of twins is exhausting and rewarding all at the same time. The lovely staff here look after my 6 month old twins with the same care and affection as we do at home and they absolutely love it on their days here. I wouldn't consider sending them to anyone else, knowing they are looked
after and nurtured as if they were at home. Thank you for being so amazing

My son has been attending the nursery for the best part of 8 months and I have been nothing but impressed with the care and attention he receives. He always comes back from nursery full of beans and with a smile on his face, which makes it much easier for us as parents to leave him knowing he is in
good hands.

My daughter joined the baby room at 11 months of age at very short notice, after deciding another setting was just not right for us. The manager instantly took us both under her wing. At settling in I was far more emotional than I had ever expected but the team were none less than amazing and all a
mother could ever wish for when leaving their child for the first time.
They were so caring and supportive and in a matter of days my daughter was opening her arms to the staff and this could not have made me happier. It gave great peace of mind she was going to be safe, loved and happy. We have had a lot of experience of nurseries previously with my son so I can clearly say this is an excellent one and I would highly recommend. We are so happy to have found this nursery and can't thank the manager enough for being so welcoming and flexible, which is all a parent needs when embarking on the next stage of the journey back to work. A brilliant nursery and the manager and the team give 100% at all times - thank you.

My sons have been very happy at this nursery. Some members of the staff are really good and caring. Not very sure the food is as good as it used to be. The office staff are always very friendly and welcoming.

Reply from Marketa Cardon, Marketing at Bright Horizons Fleet Day Nursery and Preschool

We really appreciate that you have taken time out to share your feedback, your opinion is very important to us. Our menus were carefully planned with professional nutritionists, giving children many opportunities to experience different types of food. We want the children in our care to learn from different tastes, smells and textures the love for food and to develop healthy eating habits and we were very proud to receive an approval by the Children’s Food Trust. If you have any concerns with regards to our menus, I would strongly encourage you to speak to our team so any areas of concern can be discussed and addressed.

A thoroughly excellent nursery in terms of facilities, staff, care and environment. The rooms are spacious and vibrant with easy access to toys and artwork all over the walls. The outdoor space is equally impressive with lots to do for the children. My children have very busy days doing lots of activities,
but there is always time for some quiet time, too, in the cosy reading corners in each room.


The staff are wonderfully caring and greet each child warmly in the mornings. They are always on hand for a cuddle if a child is upset at drop off, or at any time. A lot of effort goes into understanding each individual child, which is an often underestimated quality but very much appreciated as a parent. The management is equally fantastic, willing to listen to ideas and always trying to make improvements to suit everyone.


It's not easy being a working parent, but I have always been confident leaving my children here each day, knowing that they are well cared for and understood.

My little boy has been attending the nursery for around 3 years and he has been so happy and well cared for. The management team and staff are very focused on the childrens' happiness and well-being and the nursery provides a fun and nurturing environment in which the children can learn and develop.
The facilities are fantastic with bright, spacious rooms, a very large range of toys and activities, and a great outdoor space where the kids can explore the messy kitchen and use the play equipment. I would highly recommend Elvetham Day Nursery to anyone who is looking for high quality childcare

The nursery is a wonderful place for children to learn and develop. My two boys enjoy every moment they are there. The staff go out of their way to ensure that the kids have interesting and educational activities and really care about the children. We feel like part of the nursery family and the team
are so helpful and flexible to help working parents. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and warm day care environment for their children.

My daughter attends this nursery alongside another and is made to feel very welcome - on arrival, the staff team always greet her and make a big fuss - asking how she has been and taking a general interest in her development. My daughter always has a fun filled day and shows enjoyment in being in the

My daughter loves attending nursery and will often talk about her carers at home, which comforts me that they have such a positive impact on her development.
I asked her what her favourite thing about nursery is and she said "my friends". It is so important for me to know she is secure in her environment
and she is able to make friends and expand on her social skills.

A really fantastic nursery & preschool, conveniently located on the heath.


We loved the place from the first visit, none of the other local nursery/preschools could compare - on facilities and/or staff. It's an ambitious nursery, which really appealed to us, continuously striving to improve its

offer.


My biggest apprehension on returning to work after our first child was born was how she would settle in the nursery. It all went really smoothly, thanks to the supportive staff, and after such a positive experience first time around I am now completely relaxed knowing that our second will also go to Elvetham Heath.

Our daughter loves this nursery, we were worried and looked around before choosing a nursery for her to go 2 half days a week. We are so glad we choose Bright Horizons


Even though our daughter is 16 only-month-old, she looks very happy when we take her there and when we pick her up. The staff does

loads of activities, games and play time.


We are Vegan at home, the nursery has been great to provide the vegan food for every meal, it is different and they make a good variety of foods and snacks.


All the best.

From the moment I stepped in Elvetham Heath Day Nursery, I knew it was the perfect fit for our family. The nursery is bright, safe, clean and well looked after and the staff are absolute superstars. The management team are friendly and approachable and the nursery nurses are welcoming, caring and excellent
at what they do. My child has been attending Elvetham Heath Day Nursery since he was 11 months old and it has been such a pleasure to watch him thrive and make relationships with the staff and other children. There are plenty of activities to keep my child entertained and it is great as a mother to know that your child is well looked after, happy and content. I would recommend Elvetham Heath Day Nursery to anyone.

I put my son in to Elvetham Heath nursery at 5 months old and the professionalism and caring nature of all of the staff helped put my mind at ease about leaving my young baby in their care. My son is now in the pre-school and still loves coming into the nursery. The staff take care to ensure the transition
between rooms as they grow older is handled as sensitively as possible, ensuring the children are given plenty of bedding in sessions prior to moving into different classes so they feel ready. I am very impressed that each child is assessed individually and their specific needs are considered as to ensure their welfare and happiness at the nursery is of utmost importance.
I think Elvetham Heath nursery has really enhanced my son's development, confidence and social skills, which I have no doubt will give him a helping start for when he starts school next September.

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.
