  • 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.

I'm extremely happy with the care and education my daughter receives at Bright Kids. I know she is very safe and also enjoying herself on a daily basis. Not only has the nursery helped with her education and speech, they have also helped her become very confident and also have goals for her to develop
even more. The communication between staff and parents is brilliant! Its like my daughter has a second family at nursery where she is loved and cared for beautifully. I can't thank the staff enough. All staff in Crabbs Cross, Redditch are a credit to Bright Kids!

Lovely nursery, lovely team who work there looking after the little ones! My son went there until he was old enough for school, now his little sister loves it there too! I would definitely recommend Bright Kids, Crabbs Cross, to anyone looking to put their child somewhere caring, safe and friendly.

Really pleased with the care provided to my son. He always seems happy and chatty after collection and I have noticed improvement with his development. The staff address any concerns I have and keep me fully informed of activities done.

The best nursery around. Staff are amazing and always happy and prepared to help whatever the problem. Has a large garden with toys, swings, slides, etc. Plenty for children to do whatever they are into. My son has never complained or had a bad day, to date. It's hard to get him to leave at home time.

Good nursery, my son has gained confidence, good communication skills and understanding about the real world. Always comes home happy explaining about what he's done and who he's played with, he's made good relationships with the staff and children. Considering he was non-verbal until 2 and a half years,
his vocab never fails to amaze me.

Our son is really happy and content here at Bright Kids nursery. As parents we especially love online tapestry. It gives us a fab link between nursery and home of what our son is up to. It encourages him to talk to us in detail and he is so enthusiastic about how much I know through Tapestry about his
day. Its nice to see our son being himself at nursery as he is at home, which to us says a lot about how content he is.

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.
