My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year. We are extremely pleased with how she settled in so fast. The progress that she has made throughout the year has been really good. We are kept up to date with her development and we feel very involved. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming
and they are always going that extra mile so thank you all for that. The cleanliness of the nursery is excellent. I know my child is in safe hands throughout the day.

I would highly recommend Bolton Day Nursery as my daughter is very happy here. It took her a while to settle in but the staff at Bolton Day Nursery supported us both through this process. As a new mum I needed extra support to settle her in and I received an impeccable service from all the staff. One
thing that stands out compared to other nurseries is the cleanliness of the nursery and the extremely friendly staff.

My first child settled very well at Asquith, I felt confident that he was being cared for and enjoyed his time at nursery, this enabled me to have full confidence in making the decision to send my second child here. I have visited many nurseries but this nursery stands out by far! A lovely warm setting
for children and a fantastic transition into pre-school.

I think this nursery has been excellent. They have worked patiently with my son and helped him settle which was a very difficult task. He now very much enjoys it. It is great they focus on his developmental needs.

My daughter's reaction when I drop her off is so positive and happy. The staff are obviously doing a great job. All staff are so friendly and the room is very well equipped. All the other children are always happy and playing lovely. The security is excellent and I feel my child is safe and looked after.

Still in the settling in period, however, up to now I am really happy and impressed with the nursery. The 8-week free settling in sessions are fantastic, I couldn’t find any other nursery with such a policy. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and all greet my daughter by her first name. I also
like the fact they have more than just two separate rooms like most nurseries so I know my daughter will be more with children her age group.

The staff are great and look after my son very well. They encourage development and help with his dairy issues. I can leave him at nursery and not worry at all as I have full confidence in two keyworkers and the rest of the team.

I am delighted with the care that my daughter receives at Bolton Day Nursery. All of the staff are very attentive and have excellent relationships with all of the children. Developmentally my daughter is doing really well and this is thanks to the hard work of the staff. I am really pleased to see the
whole child development opportunities with additional activities such as trips to the farm and the pantomime to enrich the curriculum.

We chose this nursery after looking at a few in the Bolton area because of the friendliness, especially the staff. My daughter was 6mths when she started and naturally as a father I was constantly anxious about how she was throughout the day. The staff fully understood and were very accommodating and
reassuring. Although only a handful look after my daughter full time, all the staff have been extremely kind and friendly from day one. There's always smiles all round every day and not just in the morning, but last thing at night, and that's really reassuring as we all know how hard it can be looking after a child let alone a room full. The professionalism is always there which is one of the key things we were looking for amongst others when choosing a nursery.


My daughter has really bonded with all the staff there, and can't wait to say bye to us when she arrives which leaves no doubt in my mind that this nursery and staff are doing their jobs 110%.


A definite winner in my eyes.

Moved from Scotland last year, a breath of fresh air to come here and meet management and staff.
Right from coming in there is a very warm feeling.
Reception staff and a previous manager were really friendly and approachable.
I felt staff really have given him love and attention.
He has come on
leaps and bounds in the last few months.
He has developed in confidence, enjoys coming in.
I feel at ease that I can talk to staff including managers about any concerns.
The staff have been fabulous!
I wish this nursery propers more and continues to be a safe haven for all kids and parents!

I have been so impressed with Asquith Nursery since my son started in June 2017. From the moment you walk in, everyone says hello and is friendly and approachable. I can tell my son likes the fact that all members of staff know his name and are always smiling.


The team in his room have been amazing.

They are all very personable, knowledgeable and put me at ease. They have made my son's nursery experience a good one, which was especially important to me with him soon becoming a big brother. Thank you!

Lovely nursery, staff are amazing. My oldest child was here for 3 and a half years and he loved it. He learned so much and had loads of fun.
My 2-year-old loves coming to nursery, the staff were very supportive during the settling in period with both boys. The nursery is always clean and there are
lots of fun activities.
The menu is excellent and has really helped my boys to enjoy a variety of food. The best thing about the nursery is staff. They are all wonderful and it's always been good to know my boys are in the best hands when I am not with them.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.631)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.631) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bolton 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Bolton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bolton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.714

  • 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.
