I have sent all three of my children here. Currently my daughter attends and is to go into the pre school room in July.
I cannot thank this nursery for everything they have done for her, she went in a shy child who wouldn't talk to anyone, now a determined, noisy, confident little girl, just how we
like it.
The finance team are just as nice as the girls who look after my daughter, the manager of this particular building is fabulous, tries her best to fit my daughter in on some random days. Any issue I have ever had, I have emailed the management and it has been dealt with efficiently and always in the best interest of my child.
I cannot thank and recommend the nursery staff and management enough.

It has been a good experience so far. The staff are friendly and approachable. My little one enjoys going there and has done right from the start. The only downside for me is the high price. The best thing for me is that the food is halal. Overall a very good experience.

A massive thanks to all staff at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston. My daughter was very clingy and scared to meet anyone new. After a bad experience at another nursery and several searches for a nursery, we have come across Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston who have massively helped
me as a parent as well as the development for my daughter. It was also reassuring that they serve Halal food and celebrate all religious festivities. They have been amazing with my daughter and now she jumps to them when she sees them at the door. This is how I know she is being well looked after by staff. My daughter has also had problems with eating which the staff have helped me with massively. It’s nice to see a place that genuinely have care for the children in their care. I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston to any parents looking for a nursery place for their child that is like a home from home. We chose Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston as from the moment we walked in to view the nursery it felt like a happy, nurturing place to send
our baby and it has definitely lived up to our expectations. Our little boy always comes home from nursery happy and smiling and we have noticed that he has come on so much since starting here, he has started babbling which he hardly did before coming here and also took his first independent steps here too which to me shows how much of a good job every single member of staff does to make sure that he’s always happy and stimulated, so much that he is coming home and showing what he has learnt. All staff are friendly, approachable and I couldn’t ask for a better surrounding for my child to be in.

Brighter Beginnings is a wonderful nursery! My son attends full time and not only does he love attending, he socialises well and has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his early learning.


I would recommend this nursery setting to those wishing to find a pre-school place for their child. Every

member of staff is lovely, approachable and has so much fun with each child. They take on a nurturing role and that is evident when your child creates a fantastic bond!


My child's needs and requirements have been fulfilled, he has a specific dietary requirement due to allergies, but this hasn't posed a single problem to any member of staff. Full training is provided for all members of staff and they are all aware of my son's requirements.

My son started here just over 18 months ago. The staff are so lovely, caring, friendly and approachable and nothing is to much trouble. I love that I can monitor his progress online and see what he has been up to. He loves the fun activities as well as the extra activities that can be accessed such
as swimming lessons, football and dancing sessions. As someone who works in education, I am so pleased with our decision to send him here he has come on so much and loves his time there. Will definitely be keeping him here as long as I can.

My son loves it at this nursery. He's been attending since he was nine months old and its been twelve months now. I was so worried about leaving him when he first started but the worries soon went. They are fine with you, phoning every day like I did at first.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming,
from the manager to the domestic help. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

My little girl has been coming to this nursery for the last 14 months and I can’t thank them enough. I was a worried mum with my little girl so clingy and attached to me and the girls in the room helped her settle at nursery and always put my mind at ease from thousands of questions to ten phone calls
a day.
She loves coming to nursery and has formed close relationships with all the staff and friendships with other children who she is always telling me about at home. The staff are amazing with her and she has come on development wise so much. The staff are so helpful towards me and nothing is ever too much of them to ask. I can’t thank you all enough. You're amazing.

Excellent nursery. Staff are amazing and my little girl as settled in so well. Nothing is to much trouble for the staff and they are always willing to help in any way they can.
My daughter is very fussy with food but the catering staff always make sure they prepare something that she likes, even if
it's not on the menu that day.

My daughter has attended this nursery for almost a year now and I could not be happier.
My daughter was in another nursery setting from the age of one. It was a new setting and for that reason, I believed it would be the best. Unfortunately, it was not the case after an incident that occurred that
I was not happy with at all. I made the choice to remove her with immediate effect, as you can imagine this left me feeling worried about leaving my little girl with others in a nursery setting, as I work.
It had to be done but this time I made sure everything was 100% before I would think about leaving her again and after doing my research and asking around I found that Brighter Beginnings was perfect for us.
My daughter has truly blossomed here. She runs up to the nursery door every morning ready for the day with her friends and for that, I am truly grateful!

I was worried about my daughter going to nursery but she settled in straight away and now she has her favourite teachers and talks about all her friends and teachers when she comes home. I find it hard to get her to leave because she has so much fun. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. The staff

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.873 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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, New Moston is based on 13 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 13 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.

Jennifer

Jennifer

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2011

My name is Jennifer, and I have worked at Brighter Beginnings for 13 years. I started as an apprentice at Brighter Beginnings New Moston when I left school, I then went on to complete my level 3 at Brighter Beginnings Charlestown where I worked my way up to Deputy Manager. I then went on to Newton Heath Brighter Beginnings as a Manager for 3 years where we achieved an outstanding grade from Ofsted. Since then, I have returned to Brighter Beginning New Moston to cover maternity leave and I am supporting at other buildings, ensuring high-quality childcare. I have gained lots of knowledge and experience along the way which has helped me to understand child development and give children the most amazing experiences in their first years of life. I have a daughter of my own who is currently in year 1 and we love taking our dog Honey on lots of walks and having lots of family time.


Lucy

Lucy

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2022

My name is Lucy, and I have proudly worked for Brighter Beginnings for the past two years. As an Assistant Manager. I am deeply committed to ensuring that every child receives the best possible care and learning experience. Since leaving school, my passion for early years education has driven me to continually develop my knowledge and skills. Over the years, I’ve gained invaluable experience that has allowed me to confidently fulfil my role, supporting both the children and my dedicated team.


I am based in the 2–3-year room, where I also take on the role of room leader. In this position, I work closely with my team to create a nurturing and stimulating environment, ensuring that every child’s developmental needs are met. I am responsible for delegating tasks and guiding my staff to provide the highest quality of care. This role allows me to see first-hand the joy and progress that each child makes, which is incredibly rewarding.


Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two wonderful children, aged 8 and 4. We love spending quality time together, whether it’s enjoying days out, catching the latest movie at the cinema, or embarking on exciting family holidays. Family time is so important to me, and I cherish the adventures we share together.


Ellie

Ellie

Job Title: Room Leader

Joined: 2021

My name is Ellie, and I have had the pleasure of working with Brighter Beginnings for three years. Currently, I am the room leader of the 0–2-year-old room, where I am passionate about providing a warm and caring environment for the youngest members of our nursery family. Before joining New Moston, I spent time working at our Burnage branch. This experience was instrumental in helping me grow professionally, as I gained a wealth of knowledge and insights that have been invaluable in shaping my current role as a room leader.


The opportunity to work in different nurseries has been an enriching experience. It has given me a broader perspective on early childhood education, allowing me to bring new ideas and improvements to my practice here at New Moston. My goal is to always create a positive and engaging environment that supports both my team and the children.


When I’m not at work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and spending time with my family. I also love going on holidays with friends and creating lasting memories on our trips together. I have a wonderful dog named Bobby, and one of my favourite things to do is take him on long walks, exploring the outdoors together.
