When deciding for the best nursery for our twins (more than a year ago), like any parent we listened to reviews/regulator’s assessments. etc. Bright Horizons with an Outstanding Ofsted score did stand out.
Well, 10-11 months in now, we honestly could not have made a better choice! and as parents feel
very fortunate to have found this nursery!
Our kids have a truly ‘second’ home where they are genuinely looked after and loved, and as a parent, this is a blessing. The staff are exceptional. They are professional and caring, and it is remarkable the dedication they would go for our kid's development; from daily briefs to monthly targets. As we have dual nationality, we teach our kids greek words at home; it was admirable when their teacher offered to support with this learning development during nursery hours; a testament to the staff dedication, willingness to go the extra ‘mile’. Besides any Oftsed scores, we evaluate this nursery as OUTSTANDING and should be highly commended!!!

My daughter attends Bright Horizons and I cannot recommend them highly enough, since joining my daughters confidence has grown massively, her speech has come on in huge amounts and she has learnt so much in her time there. The staff are incredible and are classed as my daughters 'best friends' (in her
own words) and they are very helpful and informative on everything that is taking place. She settled in so well and is ever so excited to go to nursery every single morning and tell the staff all about her evenings or weekends. I feel so confident and secure sending her here and I wouldn't have her anywhere else, I can't speak highly enough of the setting and the team. All of the activities look fun, engaging and educational along with healthy meals provided and a clean and secure environment. I cannot thank the staff enough and would absolutely recommend the nursery to everyone.

Our daughter has picked up English very fast, and we are pleased. She enjoys and loves going to the nursery. Staff and Management are great. Good communication with parents and you can see what the kids have been doing through the app they have so you can keep track even if you work a lot of hours.

Bright Horizons is a fantastic nursery and pre-school. We recently moved to the area and our daughter joined pre-school. She is quite shy and quiet but has developed amazingly in terms of conversation, social interaction and making friends and has really grown in confidence. The settling sessions offered
to accommodate the individual needs of your child and the manager and the team are extremely flexible which is great.
It’s a fabulous setting with a great outdoor space as well as indoor.
The staff are all fantastic. They are caring and nurturing and encourage children to learn through play.
Meals are nutritious and varied too.
The new app is brilliant as we get to see what our children are doing each day.
The manager is also excellent in terms of leadership and her approach to running the nursery. She is always willing to spend time with parents and ensure us that our children are happy.
Overall it’s a wonderful nursery and pre-school where we feel happy and confident sending our child there.

Warrington day nursery is a great nursery for my child. The facilities are good with a large range of activities for the children including an outside area. The staff are amazing, very helpful and caring. They will answer any questions or concerns you have and are very helpful. They have recently introduced
an app that can detail your child's day in the nursery from food eaten to activities/learning they have done. The meal plan is very good giving a wide range of cooked meals. They also provide photos on the app (if you provide permission) and still give a good handover at pickup time.


The staff are very accomodating with the days my child goes, due to shift patterns, but if we give the days in enough notice they are very flexible which is a massive help.


My child has come on leaps and bounds in a lot of aspects of her personality and development whilst being at Warrington day nursery and I can't recommend the nursery enough.

Our lovely neighbours recommended Bright Horizons inside a Leisure Club as their little boy goes there. We loved everything about it when we did an initial visit. We especially loved the friendliness of the staff. The manager is lovely, as are the other staff members. They are obviously passionate about
what they do and this shines through when you see them interacting with the children.
It feels like nothing is too much, and we especially love seeing pictures of our Son on the app whilst we're at work.
Our Son has a cows milk allergy and we are currently keeping a food diary for him. Every day he is in nursery a member of staff gives us a breakdown of what he's eaten and how it's affected his tummy.
We use reusable nappies and this was no issue at all when we first mentioned it to the staff.
Our Son loves his keyworker and always comes away with a big smile on his face.


Overall the nursery and staff are absolutely amazing and thank you! Honestly, we couldn't ask for more

My daughter has been attending this nursery for over 12 months now and I highly recommend it due to the high standards of the setting and the staff. They are attentive and caring and I felt that my daughter was in good hands which were so important to me as I was really worried about leaving her at
first. The food is of good quality and standard and the progress my daughter has made with her development in all areas is exceptional. I have nothing but positive things to say and highly recommend this nursery.

We can’t rate the nursery highly enough. They have been brilliant with our two girls since they started at the beginning of the year. With my second daughter being born in lockdown she hadn’t been with many other people but the nursery staff made her and myself feel so comfortable. The new app is fantastic
and we have daily photographs and updates. It’s lovely to see pictures of them both throughout the day. The food that they are given is healthy and my girls have never eaten so well or tried so many new things! They cater the activities to meet the interests of the children and every day there are new exciting and educational activities planned. Thank you to all the staff at Bright Horizons.

Our little girl started at the nursery when she was nine months old back in January. She took a couple of weeks to settle into the new routine and being away from me but once settled she was very content. The nursery closed in late March (like most nurseries) and she stayed at home with us until it
reopened in July. Settling back in took a bit longer this time. She cried on the pick-up and drop off for five weeks but the nursery staff reassured us she was settled once in the room (we couldn’t see this as drop-off was at the main door). After five weeks she just stopped crying and now walks inside and doesn’t even look back to say bye. I feel confident that the nursery are following all COVID rules and the communication/updates via email. They are using other tools to keep parents up-to-date with what's going on e.g team calls and weekly room plans. I would and have recommended the nursery to my family and friends.

I didn’t have to think twice when choosing a nursery for my second son. My first son attended this nursery and, in my opinion, there aren’t any other nurseries in this area who provide such a high standard of care so it was the obvious perfect choice for my second son. Every day when I drop him off
I have zero concerns, the staff are all so warm, welcoming and attentive. Although times have changed recently due to the pandemic, the excellent standard of care remains the same. The nursery management and staff have all implemented the necessary precautions, whilst ensuring minimal disruption and impact to the children.
The setting is clean, facilities are outstanding, and the level of knowledge and experience staff have is second to none.
I wouldn’t send my children to any other setting.
Thanks to all the staff at Warrington - you’re all amazing, especially how you have dealt with the pandemic.

My son attended the preschool and my daughter has been attending the nursery the last 18 months. She started in the baby room and absolutely loved it. It can be so difficult leaving your most treasured possessions, your children, with people you don't know or haven't met, particularly in these strange
times, but you honestly couldn't have better carers. They create a loving, playful, learning environment with plenty of age-related activities and outdoor play.
My daughter is now in the toddler room and has so much fun. She wakes up asking to go to nursery every day and skips in see her friends and the nursery team.
At the end of the day, you receive a communication sheet that provides you with all the information you need to know; nappy changes, food, activities and photos. So you never feel like you're missing out.
I visited a handful of local nurseries and the DL Bright Horizons was by far the best offering and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to all.

I have nothing but good things to say about the nursery, especially since starting back post lockdown. The only difference I have noticed pre and post lockdown is the drop-off but it is actually easier for the parent as they are now met at the doorway by the manager. The children are happy and well
cared for. They also learn good hygiene such as hand washing. They are made to feel safe and have lots of fun. We have had a parents evening since starting back from lockdown to keep us updated on their development. My daughter loves going in. Both my children have attended this nursery and if I had to choose again I wouldn't hesitate to pick this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Warrington 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.942 for Bright Horizons Warrington Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 430 Ratings = 4.942

  • 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 Bright Horizons Warrington Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 36 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 36 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.
