Bright Horizons have been fantastic! We unexpectedly lost our previous childcare setting at very short notice. Working full time meant a lot of stress and worry was created, however Bright Horizons came to our rescue. They originally agreed to take our son on a temporary basis until his usual setting
was able to reopen. He was enrolled promptly and he loved his settling in sessions. Our son settled into the todder room so well that when the time came for our son to return to his other setting I asked whether he could remain at Bright Horizons permanently, to which he was! The whole team made a very stressful time so much easier, for which I cannot thank them enough. My son loves all the staff in the toddler room and I can leave him each day knowing he is happy, settled and receiving the very best care.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy we could support you during a stressful time and we're thrilled your son has settled in so well with us.

The staff and whole nursery are overall amazing. My son who is very confident, initially struggled with me leaving him at drop off, but the staff make you feel so at ease and I know he is being well looked after. They never mind when I call up plenty of times. He comes home so happy and tells me about
how much fun he has had. He also eats the food he would never eat at home! I also love the updates and pictures through the day.

I couldn't be happier with the nursery - leaving your baby is such a big deal and from the moment we had her paperwork session, we knew she'd be loved and cared for as we wanted. Communication is fab and we're kept up to date. They clearly know our daughter so well already and can't thank them enough!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you felt confident in leaving your baby with us from the start. It's wonderful to know that our communication and care have met your expectations.

My daughter is currently in the baby room and I could not be happier. She very clearly loves going and all the staff treat her with such care and affection. She has already learned so much and the updates we get on the app make my day. I can honestly say, I have never been worried or nervous leaving
my daughter at nursery and am confident she is getting the best care possible!

My little one started in January this year and has never really left me before. With the help of the staff he’s settled really well and loves his time there, always comes home talking about what he’s done and who he has seen. He hasn’t just built a relationship with his keyworker but has with all the
staff in his room. I couldn’t fault the nursery at all, all the staff welcomed you with a smile and talked to you. The manager is amazing and welcomes the children by their name and my little one always has to say bye to her when leaving nursery. The updates on the app are amazing, love getting photos sent through of little ones playing and learning. The staff are always helpful with the next steps to help my child’s development and know his interests and set activities alongside these. Would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family with little ones.

Our child started at Bright Horizons when he was 9 months old and from day one he loved it. The staff have been fantastic with him and it's great to see how happy he is when he's there. We love the updates that they provide on the app so we can see what activities they will be getting up to during the
day and we love that each day is different. His development since starting nursery has been amazing and his motor skills and understanding when communicating is improving on a daily basis.
We love that the staff ask us to make observations on our child at home so they know what they enjoy doing and what they are becoming curious about so they can incorporate this in the activities they do and to help him learn more.
Our child is so happy to go to nursery and smiles whenever he sees his key worker as he knows he's going to have a great day and the photos that are sent to us on the app show this. We can see just how happy he is.
Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Our little boy started at Bright Horizons last summer when 9 months old and he loves it. He had a dairy intolerance when he started and they were so accommodating to his dietary needs. His key worker keeps us regularly updated through the app or calls us if needed. He happily goes to his key worker
on drop off and is always smiling and playing when we collect him. We also receive photos a couple of times a week which we love. They also run events such as Makaton which my husband attends and recommends.
The daily activities are always so varied and we love hearing about what he has been learning and playing with. It's a good two-way communication with the nursery as they are also interested in what we are doing at home.
It is so nice knowing that whilst we are at work he is happy. Highly recommend it to anyone.

My son joined Bright Horizons in March. My son is non-verbal and has additional needs. His keyworker has been amazing, settling my boy into the point he’s really excited to come to preschool. I am seeing my boy flourish, being nurtured and looked after by all the staff right down to the kitchen staff
ensuring my boy is fed as he only eats beige foods. Everything has been perfect. I'm kept informed of everything that my child has done in the session. Staff keep me updated on any health professional visits.
Thank you for nurturing my boy.

When my child first started at nursery, he had no experience of a setting like it, only having been with either close family or a childminder previously. He was very shy, quiet and overwhelmed but the staff were amazing! The support they provided was five-star. Now he is a completely different child.
He is confident, talkative and keen to make friends and meet new people. I am certain this is down to his experiences at nursery. Can't thank Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool enough!

My daughter started at this lovely nursery a couple of months ago in the baby room, she attends one day a week currently and is absolutely loving it! Drop-off is calm and easy, she is more than happy to go with her key worker and even waves bye to me (she is 17 months old). At the end of the day, I
go into her smiling and playing lovely with her friends, she loves to show me what she has been playing with and is always happy and clean. The app is amazing, it is updated throughout the day and I get some lovely’s pictures of her engaging in the activities that have been carefully thought of and set up by the staff. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My baby has recently started, she’s learnt so much already! She especially loves using baby sign as this is a regular activity they do. She’s come on really well since starting especially with physical development, learning to stand and starting to crawl! I’ve had no problems and I’m always informed
about how she’s been throughout the day, we love the regular updates each week about what she’s been getting up to and observations on her development.

My child attends the nursery four days a week and is always excited to come. He has a great rapport with his key worker as well as the staff within the room. The key worker and staff within the room are very supportive with home to nursery transitions and supporting with potty training. I would not
hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 5.000 for Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 15 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
