For my son the nursery employees a teacher, and I have found my child's education level has improved. Also they have made learning fun for him. He is always referencing his teacher in conversation. Thank you for giving the WOW factor.

My kids have been attending the nursery for about 2 years now, and I do feel like they're safe, happy and being well looked after
It's a spacious and welcoming environment. The staff are friendly and there's plenty of activities for the kids, both in-doors and out. Activities are well structured, and
as parents you get regular emails on what's planned for the weeks ahead, menu and general updates.
When I had questions or concerns, the key-persons, room leaders and the manager, always made themselves available and looked into/answered whatever it was.
I'm really happy with Bright Horizons Fulbourn, but the choice of nursery is a very personal one, and different parents will have different requirements and expectations, so take the time to visit nurseries and talk to the staff.

It is very comforting to know your child is being taken care of in the best possible way. My son is always so happy to arrive at the nursery in the morning and I can tell how much the people there care about him. Cannot really ask for more.

My 2.5 year-old daughter is extremely happy in Fulbourn Nursery. Staff are really nice, joyful and you can be 100% sure your kid is in good hands. Nursery is extremely clean, what is very difficult to find. The Principal of the nursery is really nice, organized and knows all kid names. They organize
too several activities out of hours that helps parents to meet, making of the nursery a nice community between kids, staff and parents. I have recommended this nursery to several friends.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.409)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.409) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Fulbourn 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.853 for Bright Horizons Fulbourn Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 4.556 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Fulbourn Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.556

  • 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.
