Tailored settling-in sessions are available to suit each family’s needs. In the baby room, the staff follow each child’s home routine closely for parents' peace of mind. The toddler room focuses on personal, emotional, physical, and educational development through play.

Both of my children have been to this nursery and both have really enjoyed it and have come on so much in their development during their time here.
The staff are so friendly, warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend the nursery! I feel so lucky to have found fantastic quality child care.

My child has been in 2 nurseries previously, and in comparison this nursery is amazing. The best decision I made was to move my child to this setting. He started in January with learning difficulties in speech and since has come along fantastically, I can only attribute his amazing development to the
staff at the nursery. In the past 4 months, the development and change I have seen in my child has been a pleasure, he loves going to nursery. Everyone in the nursery is friendly, loving and caring. My child has a good relationship with all the nursery staff not just the staff in his room. The staff to child ratios are good, I know when I leave my child, he is not just taken care of but developed as well.
The nursery is clean, has fantastic resources and the children are well looked after. My child and I couldn't be happier.
I definitely Recommend if you are looking for a top standard nursery.

Our child is nearly 12 months old and has been attending nursery for 5 months. The positive and engaging attitude of the staff has helped our child developed into a happy, content and loving child. We believe the facilities and environment provided at the nursery is nurturing and educational in equal
measure. As parents, we look forward to collecting our child as we like to hear all the different things she has been learning. I have recommended the nursery to a number of people due to the fantastic experiences our child has here.

This is our second child who has come through the nursery. We attribute the excellent development of our first child to the input of the nursery. I could not speak more highly of all that the nursery provides and the way in which they provide it. The management of the nursery deserves special recognition.

My son has had a positive experience at Asquith Nursery. He is finding the interaction with staff very pleasant and the toys and stimulatory sensory areas very educational, helping him develop his sensory skills. He finds the staff very friendly and comfortable to be around and feels at ease in his
surroundings. One thing to note is the summary of his activities throughout the day seem repetitive and lack depth. There is no mention of what he doesn't like or found difficult throughout his day, thereby not knowing what areas he may need help with or further encouragement. Overall both the environment and staff are friendly, caring and look after him very well.

The staff always provide a very warm and friendly welcome upon arrival in the morning and through to evening collection of our little man. He has been going to nursery (room two) full time for four weeks and already we recognise his progress in personal development, balance/strength, motor skills and
his attempt at speech is also growing with his continual new sounds. He has mixed very well with other children and is clearly enjoying his time at nursery. Whilst being back working I feel very confident in the staff and the facilities and daddy does too.

This is quite simple for me. When I go to pick my son up in the evening, he is reluctant to come, runs around, plays with the staff calling their names, and is always smiling.
That tells me everything I need to know about his wonderful nursery. The staff are wonderful. His key worker is amazing and
my son is very fond of her. There is a human touch by the staff and if it is clear that they love their job. Most importantly, it's the leader who creates this atmosphere and so, thank you so much to the manager for everything.

From the start Asquith's were very welcoming. After my child moved he had an excellent key worker in his previous class, and now has an excellent supervisor and key worker. All 3 have been the kind of nursery teacher you would want for your child. Passionate, caring, innovative and most importantly
an advocate for the children. They will correct anything that is not the best standard, which puts my mind at ease.
The staffs observations skills are excellent and help with settling and understanding the children quickly. We are currently working with management on ensuring parent's evening, all parties and events where children are participating are emphasised more than the emphasis on open days ?Reception staff leaving or change in management, as a parent would like to know about parents evening and key event which directly affect the child first.

Reply from Amy Quayle, Marketing manager at Bright Horizons Bolton Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review of our nursery.


We pride ourselves on our partnership with parents, endeavouring to keep them informed of all upcoming Nursery events and dates. Parents currently have access to our monthly Nursery newsletters, by email to their chosen email address, which informs parents of all our Children's experiences, interests and forthcoming events. In addition, posters are clearly displayed within our setting giving dates and times of all important events. Important communications, such as letters about changes within the Nursery, require a parental signature acknowledging receipt.


We have an open door policy which allows parents the opportunity to speak with their child's key person and other staff members, which we hope will be maintained to overcome any outstanding issues.

The nursery is always busy, has a happy feeling. The children always look happy and well cared for. My daughter attends 2 days a week and really enjoys it. The staff have been great at identifying her strengths. They have encouraged her speech. She is very good with colours, shapes etc. The nursery
have helped my Daughter to gain confidence. They are quick to help with any problems and recently I had some issues with sleep that the team in the nursery were able to help with.

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.
