Love this nursery. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and I trust them with my daughter completely. My son attended nearly 5 years ago and it is the same family nursery.

I am extremely happy with all aspects of this nursery. It was slightly more expensive than other nurseries I visited but instantly felt more confident in the staff and surroundings. My child has been in three different rooms and all of the staff are consistent and excellent. She has settled into each
room well. The activities are always age appropriate and varied. The garden area is excellent. The food choices are varied and encourage a good liking of food stuffs.

My son has been at nursery since he was nine months old, and is now getting ready to leave for school. During his time at nursery I feel he has been nurtured through the various rooms and has consistently been cared for by the staff. One particular member of staff has been with him throughout and always
makes him feel at ease if he becomes upset or worried about something. I love the fact that when he comes home he talks about the staff as his friends as well as his peers. The staff have always made me feel comfortable leaving my son and always keep me informed about his day and activities.

My son has attended this nursery since the age of 11 months. Since attending he has developed so much and has great social skills because of his early interaction with other children in a busy environment. He has the best relationship with his key workers, especially his male key worker who he has developed
a strong bond with over the years. He is now aged 3, and it's reassuring when I hear my son talking positively about his key worker and little friends because I knew he is happy. I'd like to thank all the staff for the hard work over the years.

Since starting at Leeds Day Nursery at the end of 2015, my daughter has settled in wonderfully. All of the nursery staff have been fantastic, helping her to settle in and make fer feel welcome. The range of activities that the children take part in is brilliant and varied. The outside play area and
garden is lovely and it's fantastic that the children are able to take part in growing and cooking the food they eat.

My child has been attending the nursery since she was 6 months old. The staff are fantastic they know my child's individual needs through a key person system and I couldn't wish for a better key worker. My child's speech and language was a little delayed and nursery has helped her incredibly to catch
up to where she needs to be. The staff there have been there for plenty of years and have a good strong team. My child comes home and constantly talks about nursery its a big part of her life and don't know where I would be without them.

My little girl has been attending the nursery since she was 7 months old. Through all 3 rooms she has been in, I cannot praise the staff enough. All staff are more then happy to talk to me regarding my little girl's development, exciting activities she has taken part in and just her general day to day
care.
Throughout the 2 years my little girl has been coming their has always been a consistence in her care e.g. long standing staff team.
When leaving my little girl at nursery I know she will be receiving 3 healthy meals that is always cooked on site by the chef. The meals offer a wide range of taste and offer her something I would not always cook at home.
going back to work was one of the hardest things I ever had to do but leaving her at Bright Horizons Leeds made this a lot easier knowing my little girl was happy, safe and very well looked after.

The nursery deserves proper credit for coping and re-housing the children during the floods in December. We barely noticed the transition to the temporary building. There was always a positive atmosphere and the children come first. Well done to all the staff!

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.
