  • Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool, Kenilworth
A STUNNING AND SPACIOUS NURSERY IN KENILWORTH

You and your family will love Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool. Set in a beautifully refurbished historic school building close to the countryside, every aspect has been thoughtfully designed to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

Each of the nursery's age-specific rooms has its own individual garden. The preschool room in particular has freeflow access to the garden, giving each child their choice of space. There is also a forest school and an allotment area for children to learn about growing their own vegetables and making healthy food choices.
Activities in the Baby Room are nurturing, with a focus on engaging their natural curiosity and developing motor skills, speech and confidence. The older children’s rooms are designed to encourage independence. From dedicated art areas to tables with big blocks that encourage experimental and investigative play, children are able to learn in whatever way best suits them.

This is an all-inclusive nursery which means all meals, snacks, nappies and wipes, are included. Your child will enjoy excellent, nutritionally balanced food that is prepared daily by the chef using fresh ingredients.
Ofsted have given Kenilworth Day Nursery a rating of Good in their most recent report (June 2018), stating the nursery as ‘a stimulating environment, indoors and out, that motivates children to use the resources and learn’.
The team look forward to showing you around the Nursery.

I have been taking my 2 children to Bright Horizons Kenilworth over the course of the last 7 years and our relationship will soon come to an end as my second child goes to school. As a family, we are really sad to be leaving this chapter of our lives behind, but also so incredibly grateful for the all-around
care, attentiveness, empathy and opportunity to develop that the staff have given to our children. The culture there is one of complete equity for each child, understanding their needs on an individual basis and letting this lead to the care provided. The food menus provide an opportunity for a varied and healthy diet. They give total assurance to parents, are always ready to meet and discuss anything face to face, are quick to respond to questions and communication through the app is both reassuring and heartwarming during the day. I have always left my children in the care of the nursery with total confidence and would highly recommend it as a brilliant place for your child to flourish.

Our daughter has been at this nursery from 1 year old and is due to leave here in September for school and we are gutted. The Bright Horizons team have been nothing but supportive, understanding and keen in everything that they do. This team do arguably the most important job of us all, looking after
our children, and we couldn't recommend the Kenilworth team any more. We love interacting with them, our daughter loves being there. The facilities are great, we especially love the outdoors Forest School, and we have never doubted the safety of the children there.
We can't thank the team enough for so many years of love given to our daughter and we really will miss you!
100% recommend!

We absolutely love Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool! Our little girl has already developed and become more independent. She has only been there since April but already I can see a big improvement. The team in the baby room are great. We especially love one member of staff, in particular.
Our girl has made a lovely bond with her along with the other teachers. I love hearing her report when I pick her up. The activities are always well-planned!
I love reading the app every time she goes.
Couldn't recommend Bright Horizons and the team at Kenilworth any more!

Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool is amazing. I looked at all the other nurseries in the area and was considering not going back to work but as soon as I visited I had a good feeling. The staff are amazing, so caring, always check in the morning how his morning has been. They always
give me an update at the end of the day and I can see genuine pride when my son has eaten well, said a new word ect.
They do lots of activities with them and I love that the children get to spend a lot of time outdoors.
The meals sound delicious, my partner and I are jealous when we read what had been on the menu for the day.

I couldn't be happier with the care provided by the nursery for my two children. My nearly 4-year-old son has been attending since he was 1 and absolutely loves it. He has learned so much and speaks fondly of the nursery at home. The staff have been incredibly kind and supportive, especially when his
baby sister was born, encouraging him to bond with her and easing our family's transition.
My 1-year-old daughter has settled in like a dream. Though it took her a little while to adjust, the staff were incredibly supportive, caring and loving. She now loves going in and has become much more confident. The positive impact on her development is clear and I look forward to seeing her progress, just like her brother.
The nursery has provided a nurturing and stimulating environment for both of my children. The dedication and warmth of the staff are truly commendable. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching place for their children.

Absolutely amazing staff. Very kind and so welcoming. They've been so incredible with the onboarding process and the care they've provided has been second to none. Our son comes away so happy from nursery and the activities they involve the children with are great. The children are experiencing eye-opening
tasks day to day which broadens their mindset, I couldn't ask for better care of our child.

Bright Horizons are amazing! My daughter joined in September 2023. She has come on leaps and bounds. She's become an outgoing, inquisitive, well-rounded 3-year-old. The team in preschool Kenilworth are second to none. It really feels like a family. I'm kept up to date and informed of her progress on
a daily basis. My only regret is that she didn't start sooner.

My daughter started going to this nursery at the beginning of this year. I cannot say enough great things about the staff and their attitude towards the little ones and the support given to parents. The environment is wonderful and it's a place where you want to leave your child because you know they
are safe and taken care of. My little one goes there with such excitement and comes home happy every single time. I have seen great progress with her speech and how she interacts with other children her age. Thank you to all the teachers and management team.

My 3-year-old absolutely loves Bright Horizons Nursery. She settled so quickly and has never looked back. The variety of activities they do each day is wonderful. There is a lot of outside play and the outdoor area they have, particularly the forest school, is a wonderful feature and very popular with
the children. The food is a hit and the staff are very popular with my little one.
We could not have asked for a better nursery experience.

Our daughter will be leaving Bright Horizons Kenilworth this year for school and we are sad to be leaving. As two full-time working parents, we are so grateful for the adaptability and communication at the nursery. She always has fun-filled days with healthy food, packed with learning. Today she told
me what alliteration was, she is 4! Their dedication to nature and outdoor learning is especially important to us. Teaching our smallest kids how to look after the planet is so special. If I had to criticize one element of this nursery, it would be the parking, I imagine though this is out of the nursery's control and more a council issue. Sometimes it feels unsafe loading and unloading the car. Our daughters talks about the wonderful staff, and the special things they have been doing together. Thank you to the hero staff in the preschool room that are so wonderful that I don't ever feel the need to worry about my daughter while I'm at work.

Our son loves coming to nursery, he's been going there since he was 4 months old.
The staff are so friendly, positive and have given us good advice (as we're first time parents). They're also so good with keeping up-to-date with informing us any news and feedback on our child's progress/development.
Thank
you all for being amazing and supportive.

Bright Horizons Kenilworth was a clear winner when it came to choosing a nursery for our first child. Since day one, the staff and management have been the perfect mix of professional, welcoming and attentive, and our son is very happy to arrive at the nursery each morning. The facilities and resources
at the nursery are excellent, and the app shows all the exciting activities on offer to the children. Thank you, Bright Horizons.

Bright Horizons has such a wonderful, family feel to it where the staff go above and beyond to care for the children. My child has developed so much in confidence, independence and problem-solving since starting at nursery, but also, in social interaction! At pick-up, the nursery staff seem genuinely
excited about the day they have spent with my child, telling me all about it with enthusiasm and in so much detail. I'm so glad I chose Bright Horizons as a nursery for my son!

Since my daughter started, I can see the confidence both in her speech and how well she relates to others. The staff are professionals, dedicated and caring. My daughter looks forward to going to nursery (she calls it the fancy school). The best decision was getting her into this nursery, only wished
I started from birth.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Kenilworth 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.943 for Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.943

  • 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 Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 25 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
