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.

Brilliant staff so accomodating. Kids absolutely love being here. 2 year old and 3 year old so they are in different classes but the staff do let them see each other during the day. They are both always happy when I pick them up. They eas well so the food must be great! Management is also great, so
accommodating of my needs, always greet any changes that I need to make which are genuinely last minute. Kids sometimes cry when I drop them off but the staff are so helpful and manage to make take them in happily.

My son has settled in very well, he has a great relationship with both of his key persons. They always tend to his needs. He has come on a lot since starting nursery and learnt so much more. He is definitely becoming more independent.

After many weeks of worrying about leaving my child alone with strangers I can honestly say 3 and a half years on I couldn't be more relaxed about leaving my daughter with the absolutely lovely team.
Pre-school learning has made a huge difference to my daughter's progress and she is now more than
ready for school.

Bright Horizons have been amazing with my daughter and more recently with my son. My daughter always comes home smiling and full of stories about her adventures at nursery. Her development has come on leaps and bounds and I have noticed her speech and confidence improved when she is able to come to
nursery. Lockdown was hard but the staff worked hard to mention links throughout the breaks. The staff are so warm and friendly and so passionate about what they do. We recently went plant-based and the staff have been amazing at adapting the nursery meals around. Staff communication is amazing too. I'd recommend this place to everyone. We love you Bright Horizons.

My son has been at this nursery and preschool for over 18 months now and we are more than happy with his progress, even though initially he was only attending one day a week. They have been fantastic with the extra measures required during Covid-19 and very understanding when coming back after lockdown.
Now my son is in preschool and thriving he loves it! This is due to the wonderful team and their care and interest.

This is our second experience with the Nottingham Day Nursery, and I'm pleased to say it's been a great experience so far. The staff have been patient and have gone above and beyond to ensure our child settled in ok. It's also been great to see so many familiar faces around, 6-years ago which speaks
volumes. Highly recommend.

This is a truly magnificent nursery. The staff, without exception, are highly dedicated professionals who treat the children as if they are their own. There is a real sense of community and family here and this is echoed in the way the children respond so readily and lovingly towards the staff. The
settling in sessions are, without doubt, the most thorough and well organised that I have ever seen in any setting. Staff are responsive to children's needs and not only focus on play, but focus on learning in a structured way that is rarely seen in early years settings. The nursery is very well managed and management are always sensitive to your requests and respond quickly and in-depth. I have sent all three of my children to this nursery and could not recommend it highly enough.

My child has been attending the nursery one day a week. He has quickly settled in and picks up new skills every week. Knowing that he is safe and enjoying his stay at nursery has made my return to work much easier. I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

I am extremely pleased with the nursery and the progress my child is making. He has become confident, independent and happier since going to nursery. The staff here are very helpful and polite. I am happy with my child settling in here and having a read of his learning journey makes me more confident
in letting him stay at this nursery for longer. I have recommended it to many other parents. I would like to thank all at Bright Horizons Nottingham Day Nursery with the help and support given to me and my child.

My little boy has been attending Asquith for a little over a year in the pre-school room and as a family, our experience has been excellent. The staff are approachable, friendly and helpful. Any issues or concerns they've put our mind at ease straight away. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds
with social skills and speech development. I'd recommend Asquith to friends and family.

It has been an incredible experience for me and dad and of course my little one. The members of staff are very nice and caring and they made a very good bond with my daughter. Thanks to them, she is now completely settled and enjoys her time at the nursery. She jumps in their arms and gives me a goodbye
smile every morning, which I believe is the most amazing feeling I could ever wish for.
The management is amazing. They are very much supportive and I very much appreciate their support.

I am always happy with the care that is provided at the nursery. The new manager along with staff ensure the rooms are always delivering excellent feedback and updates on things they are working on. My son enjoys his days at the nursery as he always talks about new things they have done. Overall, the
quality of care and staff in the pre-school room is excellent.
I love the learning room and designated learning time to allow the children they split off to have some time to learn on topics.

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.
