  • Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool, Lichfield
Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool, where a dedicated team provides exceptional care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

The nursery features convenient amenities, including an onsite car park and buggy park for hassle-free drop-offs and pick-ups. Centrally located near Lichfield City train station, the nursery is within the catchment area of many schools.

The age-specific rooms cater to the developmental needs of each child. In the cosy baby room, infants embark on a journey of discovery, while the vibrant toddler room offers exciting resources and an indoor climbing frame for exploration and socialisation. For older children, the nursery and preschool rooms provide engaging activities led by a qualified teacher through a Ready for School programme.

The outdoor spaces are equally captivating, with a shared garden for babies and toddlers featuring an astroturf floor, and a dedicated garden for older children that includes a vegetable patch, outdoor stage, mud kitchen, and playground.

My daughters have both thrived at Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool. The nursery has not only given exceptional care to their emotional, social and physical health, they have also taken the time to know them as individuals and grow strong bonds with them. The nursery is always a
huge support to the parent as well, I've always been made to feel comfortable to approach staff for advice or reassurance.

After three years at Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool, we are really happy with the care provided. Staff dedication is second to none and they are very friendly and caring. Our little one had an allergy and the nursery did everything they could to support us, taking it very seriously
and providing the meal adaptation needed. Our only perk would be the exclusive cost of this care and the impact in many families' decisions to have more children!

Reply from Amanda Barlow, Campaigns & Digital Marketing Executive at Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your review and for being with us for three years! We're glad to hear you've been happy with the care, especially in managing your child's allergy. Your support means a lot to us!

Our nursery and preschool experience is very positive. Our daughter really enjoys her time here and learns a lot. The staff are very friendly, helpful and good at catering for additional needs(e.g dietary/potty training), as required. Looking forward to being able to go inside and see our daughter in
action again!

An excellent provider of a holistic, caring and education led provision. We are so happy with Springfields, and both our bots have benefitted from the care and attention given by staff and management. We could not have asked for a better educational foundation for them both.

My son has attended Springfields for over three years. We are extremely happy with his experience and the care he has received. The staff are so warm and friendly, and they know the children. My son can't wait to get to preschool! He just loves it, which I think says it all! And my daughter has just
started nursery. No hesitation to recommend.

Our experience at Springfields has been exceptional. I have been particularly pleased with the relationships that my son has been able to make with staff, one lady especially. This is extremely important to us, as a single-parent family, that he has access to other role models.

We are very happy with the provision that our daughter receives at Bright Horizons Springfields. She is always happy to go and the staff are warm and welcoming on arrival. At pickup they always say what kind of a day she has had and put a written form in her bag with more details about her day.
They
all know her personality well and I feel she gets lots of attention throughout the day. Her development is coming along in leaps and bounds and was recognised by staff: she was moved up a group ahead of time as they felt she would benefit from being in the next group up. Good to know the staff are attentive and proactive with regard to her development.

Our children absolutely love coming to this nursery. All the staff make every effort to know your child regardless of which room they are in and the whole team are so helpful. We are kept informed and in the loop at all times.
We recently received some excellent support in preparing our daughter for
school in September and can see how they are doing that in preschool each day too.
The children learn so much and are genuinely excited when it’s a nursery day. Would recommend without a shadow of a doubt. I knew from the moment I stepped into this nursery 4 years ago that this was the nursery for us.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.460)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.460) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Springfields 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 4 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.543 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 119 number of registered child places is 23.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.8 = 0.168

  • 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.
