The nursery is decent overall. My daughter enjoys her time there. The staff are very professional and friendly. I would have preferred the play area to be bigger, however it’s sufficient. I’m happy with the progress of my daughter.

Absolutely love the staff at this nursery, my son loves to play and literally cries when its time to go home. They're always doing something fun, something different and I feel safe leaving him with them. Thanks to one member of staff in particular for always looking after him and updating me with everything.
Thanks.

Our two little boys have attended Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fallowfield since September 2019 and love it. They both run in every day and are happy and comfortable with all of the staff. We chose this nursery due to the outside space and the ducks! The children are outside every day unless the
weather is very bad and get to play in lots of different areas including the forest school. We love seeing the photos on Facebook of all the different activities the children have been involved in. We also get a good handover each day summarising activities, how well they've eaten and behaviour. The staff know the children really well and I can see how well my boys respond to them. We have only experienced the nursery through Covid-19 so far with some additional restrictions such as handover at the door but are confident that everything possible has been done to safeguard children, staff and parents throughout the pandemic. Communication around any necessary closures due to Covid-19 has been good.

This is a really good nursery for children for their first fiver years of learning and development. Staff are trained and qualified. Staff have a very caring nature towards children. The building is very modern as well and has an access to large outdoor play areas as well. For each age group they have
a separate outdoor area so it means the nursery management know how important the influence of outdoor play on children's holistic development. My son goes to this nursery and I am happy that I have made this decision for him.

Amazing staff! The manager is amazing in how she knows every child name who attends and always deals with each child and parent with the same attention. All three of my children have attended and my daughter is still attending. She loves to come every day and enjoys the excellent activities and environment
with a safe atmosphere and very clean setting. The staff in this past year have adjusted amazingly with the pandemic and made the children feel as normal as possible. Thanks for all the care you give.

Both my children attend Brighter Beginnings Fallowfield. I can’t recommend the nursery enough. The staff go above and beyond for the children. The activities the children do on a daily basis are amazing and my children have a fun-packed day everyday, the children’s interests are always incorporated
into activities and they always go the extra mile with making sure the children have an amazing day. The management is amazing and the nursery is a lovely and friendly environment. I can tell the staff and manager love their jobs and this shows in all the things they do for my children .

A fabulous nursery for my 18-month-old daughter. She genuinely looks forward to going and talks about the quack quack ducks all the time, they are just a lovely addition to the nursery. The staff are supportive and know the children they care for. My daughter knows her key worker and I can tell she
enjoys her time with them. As a first-time parent I was a little anxious about leaving my child in the care of someone else but the staff are professional, enthusiastic and I know my little girl is in great hands.

My child has gained so much confidence whilst attending this nursery. The staff are amazing and there is a real family feel to the setting, I know that my son is being educated because he comes home with new things that he has learnt about every day. But above everything I know he is cared for and in
safe hands. The nursery keeps me up to date with all my son's progress and any activities that are going on within the setting. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough 5* in my eyes.

Our son has built confidence in all aspects of his development since attending this nursery. The staff are dedicated to giving each child a positive, enriching and safe environment in which they learn. Every achievement is celebrated, no matter how small. Thorough feedback is given at the end of each
day. There are stay and play opportunities and you see how every child is included in all the activities. Sending our child to Brighter Beginnings, Fallowfield is the best decision we made. He loves going and he loves the staff and we appreciate all the wonderful things they do each day.

My two children have both attended from ten months (oldest now five, younger nearly three) and have loved every minute.
Extremely relaxed atmosphere and the staff are so caring.
I just can’t recommend them

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fallowfield 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.969 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fallowfield is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.969

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fallowfield is based on 24 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
