Being located in the David Lloyd Club the children are able to utilize and benefit from the soft play area, tennis courts and swimming lessons which all the children enjoy.

There is a large refurbished garden area that includes age-appropriate spaces for the children to enjoy and explore which enables the staff to use the outdoor area to extend the children's knowledge and development.

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.

Our baby has been at the nursery for seven months, starting at 8 months old, and we;ve seen incredible growth. The staff provides amazing support, offering cuddles when he's unwell. His eating habits have improved and they cater to his interests in music and art. Each morning, our baby points to the
door wanting to go back. The nursery is clean and he hasn't caught any bugs over the summer which is a testament to their hygiene. Outdoor play on sunny days and respecting individual preferences for indoor activities are notable. The friendly staff are fostering his independence beautifully. We couldn't be happier with the care he's been receiving and would recommend this nursery to everyone.

I've been extremely happy with the nursery. I feel my son has excelled in many ways, learning, socially and confidence. The staff are all friendly, helpful and polite. I feel at ease leaving my son the full days and assured he's going to be safe.

I can't praise the manager and her team enough! They have provided such a wonderful learning experience and care for my daughter. What a very good way to introduce my daughter to preschool, she loves being involved in a lot of activities with her friends. She comes up with new things that she learned
from Bright Horizons. They are supporting my daughter in the right way and update us on her development. The app is also so handy to keep an eye on my daughter's daily meal and how much she has eaten - this gives me peace of mind and I know how to adjust her meals after preschool. If you are thinking of sending your child to this preschool, please do so, it is something that is really worth it.

I have found looking for the perfect nursery for my baby quite stressful. But I feel so much at ease now I've been to view Bright Horizon Nottingham all the staff made me feel welcome and I had a good detailed walk around, also got time to ask questions I may have had which I did no question was left
unanswered, so on that day I registered my daughter.
I'm so pleased they do settling-in sessions, it is amazing how they do that it is good for me and my daughter. I am so excited for her to start and hear all about her time at the nursery and see it all on the amazing app I'm signed up for.

Can't fault anything about the nursery in our experience. The staff are so nurturing and caring, and the communication is brilliant. Everyone knew my son's name so quickly and all the staff say hello every time. The food is varied and fantastic and they always seem to have exciting activities.

My daughter is due to start in October 2023. From visiting the open day, I feel the staff have made us feel welcome and I feel I can speak honestly about anything whether it be mom guilt, advise, or nursery queries.
I am particularly impressed with the devotion the staff have to ensuring my child
is settled prior to her 1st full day. I asked for additional sessions which were accommodated the same week. My daughter is doing great and settling in nicely, I can't thank the team enough for helping me as a first-time mom deal with the flood of emotions of returning to work and leaving my baby.

Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback! We look forward to welcoming you and your daughter to the nursery in October.

Really appreciative of the games they play with the kids and the materials used. Less plastic, more wook and plastic free materials. The garden upgrades were all inhouse, so many ideas for games that are recycled materials or objects and play ideas that are sustainable, also recently been sharing great
ideas and tips of games and kid entertainment with parents to try over the weekend. My girls are always well cared for, given all the focus and attention they need to thrive.

My 10-month-old has been going to the nursery for a month now. I was nervous at first since he is so young but the manager put our minds at ease and went through everything about the nursery. The app is great as it gives me peace of mind and I can always check to see what my baby is up to during the
day. Since starting the nursery, my son has become more confident and sociable. He has already formed a bond with the staff in his room and enjoys playing with the other children. All of the staff are great and warm towards the children. The facilities are clean and meals are freshly prepared and healthy. I am so happy we chose this nursery and highly recommend booking a visit.

Bright Horizons have gone above and beyond our expectations to provide our child with state-of-the-art amenities, a positive, fun environment in which our child could thrive in, constant communication via the app before/after drop-offs and following an excellent curriculum for learning. They have offered
advice and support throughout our time, and our daughter has loved every second of it. Her recent graduation was one of the best days of our lives, and all praise to the effort every member of the staff put in to make the children's day special.

Bright Horizons Nottingham went above and beyond putting on graduation for the leavers this year. Such a lovely day for all the kids. Preschool looked lovely, and all the kids looked fab in their gowns and hats.
My son had the best years here, and you will all be sorely missed when he goes to primary
school.
Thanks for taking such good care of him, loving him, but most of all, thanks for potty training him.
I will miss you all just as much as my child will.

I would thoroughly recommend this nursery - it is warm, caring and well-managed and the staff are wonderful. We had had a bad experience with another nursery and the staff took time to discuss this with me which was much appreciated. The longer-than-average settling-in period gave time for my son to
get to know the staff and other children and also built my confidence in the nursery itself. It is a happy, positive and welcoming place and the staff in the baby room are brilliant - calm, friendly, super experienced and amazing with my son and the other little ones. I have full confidence that my son will be well taken care of here and that means everything!

It has been just over a year since my child started at Bright Horizons. He started following a negative experience at another nursery so I was already very sceptical. However the whole team put my mind at ease by ensuring he had enough settling in sessions. I already saw a positive change in his behaviour
in the first few weeks. My child absolutely loves attending nursery and goes in with open arms and a huge smile on his face. The staff and management always go above and beyond when it comes to care and development. Management are so friendly and welcoming. The nursery is very clean and always has a fresh new look when it comes to special occasions. My child can be fussy with food but not when it comes to nursery meal times as there is a huge variety which I love. The app is always updated with his development and pictures which is so helpful. I would 100% recommend this nursery. It is a great place for your child to develop, flourish and the whole team are just incredible.

My son has come on leaps and bounds in the 9 months or so since he started. I've felt so comfortable leaving him here knowing he will have fun and be looked after by an experienced and caring team.

I knew I would be sending my children here long before I was even pregnant. I didn't need to view or see any other places. I wasn't wrong. This was the best decision we have made for our son and daughter. They have been nothing but helpful, amazing and understanding. Helped us so much with our children.
The staff members are always happy and welcoming. I wouldn't change anything! 10/10.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Nottingham 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.946 for Bright Horizons Nottingham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.946

  • 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 4.977 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Nottingham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 17 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.977

  • 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.

Krupa

Job Title: Nursery Manager

My name is Krupa and I am the manager at Bright Horizons Nottingham. I started my journey with Bright Horizons in 2021 along with my children who attend the nursery. Whilst completing my BA Hons Degree in Childhood Studies in 2009, I knew very early on that I wanted my career path to be within the Early Years sector.


I have worked in numerous schools, children's centres, Private Education and orphanages, where I have been able to learn and develop in all my roles and I believe that I am still learning every day.


My passion is to make a difference to the children and the team I work with, along with supporting them.


I truly believe that our environment is the child’s first educator and by having core principles children are able to flourish and be ready for the wider society. I am excited to be working at Bright Horizons Nottingham and be part of developing this welcoming nursery further.
