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.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. If there are any extra needs for your baby, they will just do it for you! Sometimes they also suggest things like they can apply cream regularly for your baby's eczema if needed. Plenty of meals and milk time so you won't need to worry about your little one getting
hungry. There is at least an adult led activity in the baby's room every day and lots of toys are available. Overall very happy.

Our daughter started at Wolfson Court in September, after being with a childminder for a year, and we were nervous about sending her to a nursery. The nursery head was amazing at helping us to feel relaxed about leaving our daughter in her care, helping both us parents and our daughter settle in quickly,
giving us lots of feedback on how her day had gone, as well as being honest about when our daughter had found things hard. The staff are wonderful in her room - friendly, very caring of the children, and very imaginative in the daily activities they create (I get lots of ideas for fun messy play from them!) Our daughter has so much fun, and has learned a lot since she has started nursery. I feel very happy knowing that she is in a caring and happy environment. The evidence of the success of this nursery is in the confident, happy kids that are bounding about when you arrive. I would highly recommend Wolfson Court. Thanks to all and everyone!

Our son joined the baby room in September 2016 when he was 10 months old. We are very happy with the care that he has received so far. The staff are highly qualified, calm and always there with a cuddle and a helping hand. They also keep a good system for sleeping, nappy change, milk, eating and playtime.
The children are never left alone, but they are still able to explore around the room when they like to. They have lots of different toys and our son loves playing there. I am particularly impressed with the system of having a key person and how quickly our son bonded with his key person. The staff are also take great care with helping the babies fall asleep. I should also mention that the food at Wolfson Court is amazing!

Wolfson Court nursery has provided a stimulating, caring, enriching, fantastic environment which my son has thrived in since he joined. The staff members within the nursery have a clear passion for ensuring they meet the needs of each individual child, my son joined within the baby room and has transitioned
through to toddlers and then to preschool. Each room has built on his learning and he always talks about the different adventures he gets up to during his time at nursery. His key workers have always been fantastic, attentive and get to know his little unique ways. Specifically, since he has been within preschool he has learnt so much, he comes home talking about things I didn't even know he knew!

My daughter has been in this nursery since she was one year and now she is almost three. She began in the baby room and now is in the toddler's room. I have had the best experience and I absolutely love Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Nursery. The best thing in this nursery is the staff. A very good team.
They all are very kind and they really care about the wellbeing of children. They have been really supportive during the development of my daughter, they are all very professional, well trained and know how to stimulate children through games.
The staff also help parents to feel part of the nursery, making you feel part of a community. But the best reference of all is that my daughter loves to go to the nursery, she goes happy every morning and returns happy every evening.

My child is almost 3 which means that he has been attending Wolfson Court for 2 years now. However, his older sister previously attended and she completed 4.5 years there, 'graduating' in 2011 so we have been Wolfson parents for over 7 years ! If we had a 3rd child, he/she would also go there (we
won't be having a 3rd though). The facilities are really good, the menu is varied, tasty and wholesome, the activities are novel but most of all the staff are brilliant. They provide fantastic care for the kids and are approachable which is a great mix. Overall, I would recommend this nursery.

My daughter had been attending this nursery for nearly 4 yrs and not only have the staff helped develop her in the amazing title person she is, but the staff all go over and beyond their job each day. I've had members of staff help my daughter make me a birthday card, her key worker made her a leaving
card when she moved up to preschool. They all care and no matter what is going on in their personal life, they are always happy and cheerful. They are a special kind of person to work here

My son is currently at the nursery and very happy. My daughter is two years older and also progressed through all the rooms since she was a baby. The staff are enthusiastic about their job and this is inspiring for children and parents. the facilities are good and clean and there is always a lovely
menu of food for the children. My son is quite shy but has made lovely friends and he is very talkative about his experiences at nursery. This is how one wants to meet your child at the end of a long hard day!

Having searched and searched for a preschool setting for our son. In the village, we live and villages surrounding. We could only agree on one place. Wolfson court. Bright horizons. Every staff member we encountered upon our first visit Made us welcome. And every staff member my son has encountered
since has made him feel safe and secure and motivated to learn every day. Gone is my unsure little toddler who didn't want to go to school. To my confident preschooler. Who just this morning couldn't wait to get dressed up as a superhero to fly into preschool for dress up day. Thank you, everyone, from managers to room staff, chefs and cleaners. Everyone here is part of one amazing big family.

We have been using the Wolfson Court nursery for over 5.5 years now for our two children. In recent years, especially under the current management, they have been a great provision with excellent staff and good care for our sons. The outside area is very appropriate, with lots of space for the kids
to play and run around. The biggest asset, however, are the people, who really make the difference. My son always comes home with a smile on his face!

Wolfson court is such a lovely nursery. The staff are very caring and patient. They have made my son's settling in very easy. In his first month there he has come along very well and is very happy. The nursery is clean and bright, with lots of excellent toys and fun activities. My son and his lovely
key worker even made me a birthday card.


I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has been going to Wolfson court since the baby room and the care she has received from day one has been outstanding. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and my daughter thoroughly enjoys attending.
The transition from the baby room through to toddlers and now into preschool has always
been well handled and done at the most appropriate times and this has been evident in how happy my daughter has been in every room.
The development and confidence is continually expanding and this is to the credit of all of the staff, she is so fond of all the staff from her key-workers to the chef.
All of the staff provide clear feedback on the activities they have undertaken and regular meetings have allowed us to understand how my daughter is developing whilst also highlighting areas to work on in the home environment.
My daughter is extremely happy at Wolfson court and I would recommend to anyone.

My youngest son started last month and it was so reassuring knowing he'd be in great hands too. A superb and dedicated team. I've already recommended Wolfson

The staff are wonderful and take very good care of my son. He can be a little bit emotional when I drop him off but they soon distract him and get him involved in activities. He's recently moved up a room and they've made the transition very easy for him and he loves the new things that he can now do.
The
management are fantastic too. They're incredibly helpful and polite. They respond to questions very quickly and help to solve any issues with as little fuss as possible.
They're also very good with any dietary requirements.
Everyone I've met at the nursery has been incredibly nice and, most importantly, they care very much about the children there.

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.
