  • 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.

My oldest son went here and my youngest son currently goes here. He loves it and looks forward to going every week! He has recently transitioned from the baby room to toddlers. I was nervous about how he would be but the lovely staff helped him to settle in perfectly.

Both my children have attended this nursery and my youngest is still at this nursery. And every day my son tells me how much he loves each member of staff so much. But as a mother, I know my son is cared for and feels loved at this nursery. They do so much from forest school to the phonics and much
more. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

Hands down the best thing that happened to my son since arriving in the country. We had 2 options and simply went with Bright Horizons because the assisting manager made it from day dot. My son loves going to preschool, the teachers are incredible and his learning has gone to the next level. They really
do look after each child with their own learning style and is so evident in my child’s ability to read. Not only that but they are very catering to food sensitives. My son is GF, DF, and they have adapted the menu to suit him with ease and no complaints.

A wonderful nursery, the staff are extremely kind and attentive, and make such an effort to ensure my son is happy and settling well. The standard of food served is very high, with much thought put into different dietary requirements. The outdoor area, especially forest school and the preschool playground,
is fun, safe, and exciting. This is a great nursery, that is managed very well.

My child has made amazing progress at Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool. He's 3 and a half and been since 11 months. I'm constantly shocked and impressed at how much he is learning there (and I'm a Primary teacher!) He's now counting, interested in words, tells me shapes he's learned and Science
practical activities he's done, it's amazing! Staff are absolutely lovely! He's so secure with them. They are fun, approachable, caring, professional, knowledgeable and absolutely enthusiastic!

Bright Horizons Kenilworth has exceeded my expectations on so many levels. I was worried with the size of the nursery, my little girl would be a bit lost but the team work so well together that she knows them all and they all show so much love and care. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Sometimes, some
of the staff's appearance has been a bit unprofessional but this hasn't impacted their ability to care for the children so I haven't mentioned it.

We are delighted with the care our little one receives at Bright Horizons Kenilworth. It's very tough to put a 4 months old in a nursery but the staff are superb and have gone above and beyond to make us feel at ease.
The ladies in the baby room have always made the time to take a call or give us a
detailed end of day review.
I am 100% satisfied our little one is stimulated and well provided for, which gives us great peace of mind. The activities and resources available are also excellent. We could not be more pleased.

I think the staff at Bright Horizons Kenilworth all do an amazing job. Everyone is always so welcoming and friendly. My daughter is always in a lovely mood when I collect her which I feel reflects how happy and secure she feels when at nursery.
It's lovely knowing she is in safe, caring hands when
I leave her. It is apparent how well the staff who look after my daughter know her by the way they talk about her quirky ways and favourite activities, whilst giving feedback at the end of each day. They've helped give my daughter a fantastic introduction to nursery life. Thank you Bright Horizons.

The nursery continues to maintain it's very high standards.
It has recently gone through a renovation in the garden area which has improved the outdoor sections.
The themed activities are great and the children are doing new things every day. The days are structured - which is great for getting the
children ready for school and preschool. My son loves it here.

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.
