  • Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool, Cambridge
Welcome to Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Nursery and Preschool, where the staff cultivate a love of learning with a bespoke curriculum for children aged 3 months to 5 years. The onsite car park and buggy park ensure stress-free pick-ups and drop-offs, making the nursery a convenient choice for commuting parents near Cambridge train station.

In the baby room, children will feel at home, engaging in sensory play and activities that support their development. Toddlers enjoy a spacious room with activities tailored to their interests and designated toilet training areas. Preschoolers benefit from the guidance of an Early Years teacher who prepares them for school.

The 'Bright Beginning' program, designed by Early Years specialists, provides an excellent start through an enriching and wellbeing-focused curriculum. Building on the government’s EYFS curriculum, the nursery offers a holistic and personalised approach to nurture essential skills for each child’s growth.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites, which offers learning through music and song. While the Family app keeps parents informed about their child's daily experiences and progress, ensuring they stay connected.

Each room has access to a private garden area for outdoor learning and exploration, tailored to different age groups. The nursery also provides customised Settling in Sessions to suit each family's needs — parents can speak with the nursery manager for more details.

To see the Cambridge nursery in person, parents can schedule a personal tour, and the caring team will be delighted to show everything they have to offer.

Great facilities, teachers are responsible and caring, and international and diverse student profile. The key caregiver for my child really helped her settle into a new environment post-relocation. My child enjoyed the daycare a lot!

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Both of my children went here, with my second still there. It is incredibly reassuring knowing what good hands my child is in while I’m at work. Communication is excellent, the app shows me what my child has been doing all day and the team are hugely friendly,
helpful and supportive. My children have both been extremely happy here and it’s been excellent for their development.

Our son has attended for three years and has had a great experience throughout, from the baby room up through preschool. The staff are attentive and caring and have provided a wonderful environment to develop. We receive feedback and updates directly from the staff but also through the mobile app where
we also get photos of what our son has been doing throughout the day. The range and quality of the food is notable as well.

There’s a reason Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool has an outstanding Ofsted rating!
Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 12 months - through babies, toddlers and preschool.
We could not be happier with the quality of care, support and learning.
I never
worry if she will be ok, I have 100% trust in the team - they are excellent. The manager drives extremely high standards and staff, parents and children are all extremely happy! Thank you so much Wolfson!

Our son has been attending Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool for over three years. He has had a wonderful time at nursery. All of the staff are very kind and caring, the activities always seem like tons of fun, and the food is impressive in its variety. We are always kept well
informed and feel supported by the whole team. It is simply a lovely place and we are so happy that our son got to spend these fundamental years in such a nurturing environment.

We sent both our sons to Wolfson Court Nursery and now have our second son in the nursery, as my first one is already graduated. In short, the nursery has been amazing! The nursery staff are absolutely warm and heartful, the management team is very responsive and helpful. There are timely updates on
what the kids do, often filled with fun activities and what we can help at home with for kids' development. The communication with staff/team is very effective and efficient. Both of my sons love to be there.

My son started his nursery life three years ago, starting from the baby room, toddler room and then pre-school. He loves and enjoys the nursery at all times. The staff are friendly and helpful and they did very well to get through the covid crisis.

We have had children at this nursery for the last year, including all the rooms, and it has been a great experience. I have already recommended the nursery to several friends and will continue to do so. The space available is not particularly huge, but this is usual for Cambridge, and they often make
small excursions to neighbouring fields.

Our daughter has loved the nursery from day one. Her development has been unbelievable under the excellent guidance of her key worker and the rest of the nursery room team. She is always engaged, loves the food and is made to feel special and cared for. Despite the ongoing Covid crisis, the nursery
has remained open and been very good at keeping parents informed about (very few) suspected cases and policy changes. The staff are friendly and the management team very attentive to your needs and happy to answer any questions or queries.

Our son has been attending the nursery for over 3 years and he absolutely loves it. The staff are very professional and work hard to ensure he has a great time. Considering the restrictions with COVID they go above and beyond to ensure we are informed of how our son is developing and what he has been
enjoying. He comes home full of stories on what he has done throughout the day and is very excited when it is nursery day! The nursery is run to a high standard and the management team are always available if we have any questions.

My child has been going to this nursery for almost two years and has been very happy there from the start. The staff are lovely and caring. I also love that it's so international and my child isn't the only bilingual child in the group. The nursery has made great efforts to manage throughout the pandemic
and communicates regularly with updates and safety measures. The nursery appears to be very well managed.

Our daughter started at Wolfson Court in November and so was only there a few months before lockdown happened. In the months of lockdown the nursery stayed in touch and her keyworker even sent our daughter a little card. When the nursery reopened the care and attention to each individual child was incredible.
A personal call to talk about our daughter’s development over the few months of lockdown as well as what her likes/dislikes were now. Thanks to the amazing team at the nursery her transition back to nursery was very smooth. Our daughter loves being outside and playing in the garden as well as singing songs with the team. We are so thrilled that we got a place at Wolfson Court and continue to be delighted by the team and our daughter’s experience there.

The nursery provides excellent care and makes everyone feel very welcome. This nursery is comparatively small and has an intimate atmosphere. The managing staff know every child's name and communication with the parents is excellent. Staff take great care that children transition smoothly between rooms
and key workers. The nursery is very international, and they celebrate holidays and festivals from different cultures.

I love this nursery since day one. My daughter is now almost 2 years there, from baby to toddler room. They are a very dedicated team, doing a lot of effort to follow any step in the life of our kids. The learning and the care are outstanding. The facilities are great, as the outside areas. I just
have good words for this nursery, they just make me feel a big support, and my daughter comes back every day with a big smile to home. Many thanks!! :)

Rather than delve into specific points, I will only say that both my boys are extremely happy at the nursery. They have fun and are very enthusiastic about their activities on a day to day basis. I think their key workers are marvelous and I am extremely grateful to them for caring for my children with
such dedication and kindness.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.773)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.773) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Wolfson Court 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.944 for Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 3.829 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.329

  • 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.
