  • Bright Kids Crabbs Cross, Redditch
Bright Kids Crabbs Cross in Redditch Worcestershire has been based in the heart of the community since September 2001. They provide a spacious play environment for children aged from birth to eleven years all on one site.

Youngsters all have their own age-appropriate indoor and outdoor play areas. Facilities include, but are not limited to, extensive garden, friendship hut, adventure climbing area, and a Forest School area. In 2020 the nursery went through a refurbishment when it bought the adjoining house and developed it into further indoor space for the children, moving the office and creating a baby garden.

Bright Kids has a philosophy of learning through play, children work and play together in small groups to develop skills and knowledge to become independent learners for life. They stimulate children's curiosity with their unique authentic resources which absorb and intrigue them.

My son goes to the after school club and the holiday club in half term. All the ladies there are fabulous and as a working mom it's one less thing to worry about knowing my son is in such an educational fun and caring environment. He always leaves with a big smile on his face. I can't fault the nursery
they have been amazing this past year.

Such a fantastic setting.
The ladies that work there are friendly and inviting and you can clearly see they care a great deal about my son.
They support him with his learning and development and any issues that arise from his home life.
They are also supportive of me as a parent, knowing how much
hard work my son can be at times they always have a listening ear and great advice.
The setting is extremely clean and if you go in at certain times you can see them cleaning up and tidying away after certain activities.
The boards on the walls are kept up to date regarding the children's work topics and also regarding staff members.
The outdoor play area is fantastic. There are always learning stations set out for the children to explore.
The meals and snacks they offer the children are balanced and a good variety.

Bright kids is a lovely, caring and happy environment for children to grow and develop within. The staff are welcoming, helpful and always have time to talk about your child. The learning experiences for children are of a high standard and the progress my child has made is fantastic. My daughter loves
going to Bright Kids and has made special bonds with the staff. What more could a parent ask for?

Bright Kids at Crabbs Cross is a fantastic, safe environment for children and mine have been very happy here in nursery and breakfast/after-school clubs. The staff are wonderfully competent and caring, showing real affection to the children and being an integral part of their upbringing. As a full time
working Mum, there is the eternal guilt of leaving your children with carers whilst you go to work but I can honestly say Bright kids have made this a lot easier and my children love to attend. I would highly recommend

Fantastic nursery with staff who really care about the children. My 2-year-old has been there since she was 6 weeks old and has really benefited from the care and kindness she has experienced there and she has developed really well.

Excellent care, my daughter enjoys going there and likes the staff. I think the staff are very helpful and friendly, also alert. There's plenty of activities and learning of different topics and end of term parties, Halloween, Christmas, St Georges day Queen's birthday etc lots of learning about other
foods from different places. I'm very happy with my daughter going there and she has been there for a few years now :-)

Lovely nursery, friendly and wonderful staff, however I think the prices are way too high. Opening of the front door could be better managed. But overall my children love being here and they have learnt a lot and made lots of friends.

My son has been at Bright Kids Crabbs Cross since he was 12 months old. He's been through nursery and preschool there and now goes to the before and after school club. He has always been happy to go there, the care is second to none and the activities and facilities are great. He's made some great friends
and we can't recommend the staff highly enough!

Having had both my girls attend/attending Nursery and afterschool club since early 2012, I cannot rate the staff, the care they provide and the facility highly enough. I am thankful of the support they provided/provide me and my children following the death of my wife. They have also provided my girls
with a great start in life and are helping them develop into the amazing children they are today. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Bright Kids Crabbs Cross 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.882 for Bright Kids Crabbs Cross is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.882

  • 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 Kids Crabbs Cross is based on 20 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 20 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.
