A WELCOMING AND ENRICHING NURSERY IN BURY ST EDMUNDS

The spacious Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool combines excellent facilities with caring, experienced staff to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.
Each light and airy room has an array of fun and educational resources to encourage curiosity and development. Children are inspired to learn through exploration and play, so babies discover new textures, sounds and sights with sensory play, and exciting music and movement sessions. Older children stretch their imagination in the role-play area, and employ critical thinking skills while playing with loose parts or constructing with building blocks.

All rooms at Bury St Edmunds nursery have freeflow access to the large multi-surfaced garden, giving children the option to enjoy nature at any time. Children love the wide-open space, balancing tyres and climbing frame. Younger children have a separate garden with soft flooring and a smaller climbing frame to help build their muscles and encourage their physical development.

The unique Ready for School programme supports children in their transition to primary school. They learn the basics of early reading, writing and mathematics, alongside creative pursuits in the nursery's Creative Cooks and Growing Artists enhancements. The team also teaches children to self-serve at mealtimes, use cutlery, make friendships and work together. The holistic approach to both academic and life skills helps children to develop confidence and interest in a wide range of areas.

The Nursery has all-inclusive fees which means you have less to pack on a busy morning, with all nutritious meals, snacks, nappies and wipes included in the fees.

The long-standing team would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit with the nursery today and they will show you all the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

My little man started here at 10 months OLD and what I especially loved about this nursery was how understanding the staff are from the initial meeting, with how big of a step it feels leaving them in a stranger's care. I have never felt a nuisance for the odd check-up on him and they got to know my
son and his loves, wants, needs, personality and habits extremely quickly. I pick him up and I just know how much he has loved his day here. The staff are brilliant. The food is excellent (especially with my son having a milk allergy) and I'm so pleased we chose this nursery. Due to the pandemic, it's been difficult to try and learn staff names etc, so I'd love there to be a teams info page somewhere! Also, we really love the app they use so you can get updates about your child, making you feel you're involved in the daily activities etc. Thank you again, Bright Horizons.

My daughter has attended Bright Horizons for three years and she has absolutely flourished under the expert care and support of the team there. During the first Covid lockdown, my daughter's speech started to regress and the nursery stepped in with an individual education plan and lots of 1-2-1 support.
I'm very happy to be able to say that my daughter's speech is now where it should be and she's a very happy, confident, and social butterfly. My son is due to start in the baby room in a couple of months and I know he will be really happy and very well looked after.

We have been using the nursery for three years for our son and he has been very happy there. He’s grown in confidence and made friends, as well as developing lots of new skills and knowledge. The staff are always caring and helpful. We have been impressed by how they have all dealt with a very testing
time during the pandemic. Our younger son is due to start this summer and that’s testament to our experience.

this is down to the amazing team. Thank you!

My son attended the nursery for three years and he had a wonderful experience. He made many friends and the staff helped him no end in his personal development. Even now after leaving nursery five weeks ago he still talks about it with affection.


I would thoroughly recommend both the staff and the

nursery.

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool enough to any parents we meet. The entire team have just been an absolute god send since day one, even on the days I’ve had to leave my daughter crying, I have felt confident that she was cared for and she is always full of
beans when I collect her. The staff update me about her day, in great detail. My daughters key workers in each and every stage of her time at Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool have always excelled and she’s just learnt so much more than I could’ve managed at home, alone. I’ve always believed the first five years are so tremendously important for any child’s development so picking the best nursery and preschool was absolutely paramount for me. Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool have just continued to prove time after time that I made the best decision with placing my daughter in such a wonderful and nourishing environment. Thank you to the manger and the entire Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool team.

My son has been at Bright Horizons for just under a year and he has loved every day there. All the staff are kind, hard-working and they always have smiles on their faces. We loved the nursery so much our youngest daughter has now joined. She also loves being there. Top staff and brilliant management.

My grandson started this nursery just over a year ago, my daughter sent him here as they are supposed to have a good report for children with special needs, how wrong we were and have removed him from this school. They attended the meeting, promised to follow recommended advice given for my grandson
then did nothing and leaving him in wet clothes twice in the last month, which is not fair and will advise anyone with a special needs child not to go there. I'm disgusted with them and you are not good enough to help my grandson who is better off out of there.

From our very first visit to the nursery, we had a good feeling our daughter would love it here. The site is really secure, giving us the peace of mind and the staff have always been fantastic with us and her. Our daughter made friends and took a shine to several of her key workers. We would highly
recommend the nursery, it's a great place for developing social skills and preschool learning.

Our daughter has now been attending Tassel Road Nursery for four years. This period has seen her grow relationships with both staff and other children, helping her social skills vastly. The attention to detail in both her care and initial education has led to our full confidence in the nursery and we
are happy in the knowledge that she will be progressing to school with the best foundations possible.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.448)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.448) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.933 for Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 4.515 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 10 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.515

  • 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.
