Our son has attended Bright Horizons since he was 9 months old, so has moved up through the different rooms and has loved every single one. All of the staff are attentive and knowledgeable and have become firm favourites with our son. We have found ourselves with a delightful, well mannered little boy
who amazes us with the new vocabulary and understanding he shows every week. The outdoor space is a particular highlight for us, especially so close to the city centre and our son is always keen to spend as much time outside as possible. We will have no hesitation sending our next child due this summer, to Bright Horizons.

When I enrolled my daughter at Bright Horizons, Leeds, she was 1.5 years old and I was quite worried as to how she would settle there, how she would eat there and mingle with the staff/kids. Thirty months down the lane, I have all praises for the staff at this nursery. The level of care, affection and
gamified way of teaching kids is something they're really good at, and they achieve this through highly qualified and skilled staff. My daughter sees her nursery friends and staff as our extended family and she's very comfortable there and has developed a strong personality and plenty of good habits from the nursery. Overall, very happy with the level of care and standards set by them. A special kudos to them for having managed things this well through the Covid pandemic, as it must certainly have been very challenging for them, and to us, as parents, they showed great professionalism and character in keeping us informed of all the measures they take to ensure the safety of children/staff.

The manager and her team have been wonderful at making beautiful memories for my son when he was there and now my daughter. They care so much for the children and it's been great to see the kids learn new skills. It's been a friendly and happy place and the manager has always been there to help out
no matter what the query.

Such an amazing set of people. We were lucky enough for our little girl to have been here, and she has loved every moment. She will forever hold fond memories of nursery and she has grown into such a fabulous girl due to all the staff here. We can not express how good this nursery is. The exceptional
care and nurture they have given are simply amazing. We've also left with the most detailed books of their time there with pictures, reports and a wealth of memories to look back on.
6 stars!

Absolutely amazing nursery! Our son joined mid-way through the Covid-19 situation and they’ve made the whole process so easy and comfortable for us. The quality of care is second to none which meant my son settled really well and is always so happy to get there in the morning and a lot of the times
he is annoyed he has to leave. The manager and all the staff are very helpful, supportive and kind. They are always willing to talk you through any queries or questions, no matter the time and even give you ideas for activities to do at home. Seeing their enthusiasm with the kids, it is clear how passionate they are about what they do. My son has also come on leaps and bounds, especially with his confidence but it’s not only that, you can tell that he’s learned how to share, be kind and also gained a sense of independence. I’m really delighted that he’s not only being educated but learning how to be a fully rounded individual.

The manager is a wonderful person, you can clearly see she cares for all children with her heart and takes plenty of time to talk with me and my boy even though the current situation is hard with Covid, I had one issue which was solved quickly and efficiently. The staff who care for my boy are lovely
people and he is happy to leave me every morning to learn and play.

My little girl will be leaving in September, and I know she will

Best nursery in the area!

What a wonderful nursery this is!
My daughter started here at 9-months-old, and although I was nervous at leaving her there, I knew instantly that she was in great hands. The staff are so kind and genuinely caring. They really get to know the kids and have lots of advice to give (when asked). The
nursery manager is focused on the children's wellbeing and always puts their needs first, and through 2020, has done her best to keep the nursery open as long as it is safe to do so.

Our son has been going to Bright Horizons full time since about six months of age (excluding lockdown). Even from an early age, he appeared to settle quickly and he’s always happy to arrive at the nursery. I can spend my working hours safe in the knowledge that he is safe, entertained and well-fed.
The nursery does more than just educate the children – they also instil kindness, tidiness and working together. I’ve been surprised on several occasions recently when my son has put wrappers in the bin without prompting and fetched my shoes and coat before we go out for a walk. One of my favourite things about the nursery is the interest staff have in tracking the children's development – they have their own scrapbooks which staff regularly update with pictures and anecdotes.

We have been amazed by the quality of care and level of further development with our son, he always has a smile on his face and loves attending, he makes friends very easily with his peers and the staff, without the additional learning structure provided we are certain he wouldn't be as far along with
his development in both communication/socialising skills and with his fine motor skills and fitness, in the current situation that we all face it would be almost impossible to provide as varied and well-suited activities and learning tools that are provided by the nursery, we can't thank the staff enough.

Our daughter has recently transitioned from the baby to the toddler room. The staff made what could have been a challenging period much easier through their support and tailored care to suit our daughter's needs. Our daughter continues to flourish in the environment and we feel she is being fully supported
to reach her learning/developmental goals.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.963) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Leeds Day Nursery and Preschool 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.963 for Bright Horizons Leeds Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 Leeds Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 18 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
