A beautifully refurbished adventure garden is divided into three play areas designed to support each particular age group. Each area provides lots of space for physical development and opportunities for children to develop an interest in nature and the world around them.

Experienced, qualified staff ensure the children are cared for throughout their nursery journey and 90% of staff are qualified to Level 3 or above and regularly trained. The nursery's own supply team cover staff holidays and sickness.

The nursery provides excellent opportunities for partnership with parents through parents' evenings, forums and regular 'stay and play' sessions. Policies and procedures are designed to give parents confidence in the safe and stimulating environment provided.

Their unique Healthy Hearts and Minds activities provide inspirational and engaging learning experiences using the innovative and well established Boogie Mites and myHappymind programmes.

An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

The nursery is within the catchment area of Richmond Primary School and other local schools that children progress to include Battling Brook Primary School.

The nursery was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in July 2022.

My little one has been with the nursery for a little over one month now. I couldn't be happier with how supportive and encouraging they have been with both me and my daughter during this settling-in period. I have been so grateful for the care they have shown my daughter and how they have eased us both
into the nursery experience. I was so impressed with their settling-in policy of building up sessions towards her start date. All free of charge and done to help my daughter feel safe and secure within her new environment. My husband and I are always appreciative for the updates we receive throughout the day, which helps us feel involved and up to date with how she has been throughout the day. The weekly development updates show how seriously they take your child's development regardless of their age. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a positive, happy, caring and professional place to send their little ones.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our little one has attended the nursery for nearly 1.5 years now, and we are still over the moon with the service we receive. The staff is always kind and extremely accommodating no matter what request we have. Our Little One settled in much sooner in the different rooms than we had expected and he
is in love with his key-workers. The facility is neat, tidy, and contemporary. I would highlight the extra effort that the staff is making to organize messy plays, cooking, gardening, and other sensory activities. They regularly follow the lead of the children by tailoring the activities based on their latest interests.
Their App is also easy to use, and it puts our minds at ease that we receive updates during the day.
In summary, we are truly happy with our choice and cannot recommend it enough!

Bright Horizons has been amazing with my son who has major separation anxiety. He now enjoys his days, playing, eating and exploring both indoor and outdoor spaces. Couldn't be happier with having Bright Horizons as my son's nursery. All the staff we have interacted with has been lovely and super helpful,
especially his key workers! Thank you, especially to two staff members in particular.

I am very happy with our experience with Bright Horizons, Hinckley. My son has settled very well due to the caring and friendly staff. There's always something exciting for him to do, and his interest is incorporated. They were fantastic when an allergy became apparent. The staff are approachable, and
my son is always happy to attend.

We visited a great many nurseries and we are so glad that we opted for Bright Horizons in the end.
The staff is always kind and helpful, and extremely understanding, no matter what request we turn to them. Our little one settled in much sooner than we had expected and he is in love with his key worker.
He even developed a special smile that he only gives to her!
Their menu is top-notch, there is no juice, high-added sugar, highly processed, or any other trash food, and they can cater for all kinds of dietary needs. The facility is neat, tidy, and contemporary. I especially like that the rooms are equipped with proper wooden toys and books instead of plastic flashing sound-making toys.
Their app is also really easy to use, and it puts our minds at ease that we receive updates during the day that our little lad is doing well.
All in all, we are grateful for all their support and hope that we can stay with them until school starts!

I cannot recommend Hinckley Bright Horizons enough, they were so welcoming when we came in as first time parents with our three month old. I was so nervous going back to work and leaving him at nursery but they really put me at ease. He joined in Oct 2022 and has been there ever since. The staff are
great with him and he is coming on so well with his development. We get regular updates via an app all day as well as development progress reports weekly and pictures of him having fun. The staff are also attentive at giving his medication on time and help accommodate any requests as best as possible.
Everything is included from nappies to formula and food, you literally just need a spare set of clothes in a bag for your child.
Big shout out to the staff in the Baby room, they are massive credits to the team!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Hinckley 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.953 for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.953

  • 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 4.865 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 18 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.865

  • 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.
