My Grandaughter joined the nursery in January 2018 and has loved every second of it. I have been invited to stay and play sessions and have enjoyed meeting her key workers. On collection, I have seen how happy she is and how well she is thriving. So pleased my Grandaughter attends this nursery.

Asquith Milford provides everything that our daughter requires for her development and learning. The facilities that are provided are great and the learning is fantastic. All staff are very well trained and friendly. They make it personal to the child and have a great connection with them. The staff
are always informative of activities and learning done at the end of each day. Keep up the good work!

After a difficult start, my son has settled in and that is thanks to all the staff, particularly preschool staff. My son loves the variety of toys in preschool. We are very happy with preschool.

My eldest son attends twice a week and I am just about to enrol my youngest son because I am so happy with the care that he receives. The staff are always friendly and approachable but the most important factor for me is that they are very caring and empathetic.
My eldest son loves attending and this
is testament to how good everybody is.

My daughter is very happy at nursery and enjoys attending. She has a good relationship with her key worker and is making good developmental progress. She is settled in her environment and I have every faith in the staff.
Staff are friendly and welcoming. There is, however, the fact that fees have
risen and childcare is now particularly expensive. These fees are some of the highest in the local area.

Staff are excellent and will accommodate you in any way they can. I have felt settled instantly at this nursery. My 9-month-old always comes away happy!!!


The only downside is the parking facilities.

My daughter has settled so well in the nursery. She has done long days and each staff member I have seen with my daughter has shown outstanding care. I have had daily photos of how much fun my daughter has had at Milford and could not recommend this setting more.

My son has recently started attending the nursery in Milford.
I have been extremely impressed with not only the facilities, play and sensory activities but also the personable and professional attitude of all of the staff.
I am confident my son is in very safe hands.

Our daughter has been at Milford Pre-School for 8 months. When she first started we were apprehensive about leaving her as she was very clingy and had not been left with many people before. The staff were all fantastic and made us feel at ease leaving our daughter in their care. Over the past 8 months,
we have watched our daughter excel in terms of her confidence, speech, personality and understanding of things, she has established a brilliant routine and made some good bonds with her key workers and other staff at nursery. We are very happy with the care our daughter receives here.

I had to return to work 3 months earlier than expected from my maternity leave. I was so anxious about leaving my daughter but the girls in the baby room made me feel so comfortable knowing she was in caring hands. They listened to all my requests and worked so hard to ensure my daughter felt settled
at nursery. 3 months on and she loves coming to nursery and has so much fun. I'm so grateful to all the girls at Asquith Milford for their time, care and support.

We feel that our daughter has a fantastic experience whilst at the nursery. The staff from all rooms are very friendly and spend the time to speak and greet both myself and my daughter every morning. We really enjoyed the Christmas Carol service and felt it's a lovely "extra touch".

An awesome nursery in a beautiful setting. They quickly get to know your children and look after them with highly individualised care. Our children love coming and we know they are safe and secure when we leave them in the morning. They are thriving here and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Milford 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.899 for Bright Horizons Milford Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.899

  • 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 Horizons Milford Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 24 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 24 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2004

Hi, I am Rebecca, the Nursery Manager.


I have worked at Milford since 2004 and I became manager in 2012. I love supporting, caring and working with our families to ensure we provide excellent childcare for their children. I have two children of my own so I am able to work closely with parents that find leaving their children hard and sympathize with the challenges this brings as a parent. My door is always open to everyone.
