An outstanding nursery in Hull.

Situated in one of Bright Horizons' client settings, the popular David Lloyd Leisure Club nursery welcomes all families in the area and is easily accessible from surrounding villages in Hull.

All the rooms are cosy, bright, warm and welcoming with highly qualified staff in all six rooms.

Bright Horizons Hull Kingswood provides stimulating activities, which offer a wide range of learning opportunities. There is an enclosed outside area for all the children to access, with a special baby and toddler garden for them to play and explore.

Children’s wellbeing is of the utmost priority at the Hull children's nursery and they strive to develop all the children into confident little learners.

An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

All children have a key person. This enables children and their families to form a strong bond and build up that trust which is needed from the beginning.

The nursery has its own chef who works on site, providing fresh, healthy and nutritional meals based on a three-week menu cycle. The menu changes throughout the year to coincide with the seasons and caters for all.

With all-inclusive fees, which means less to pack on a busy morning, all the healthy meals and snacks are prepared by the onsite chef with nutrition in mind.

The nursery was rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted in September 2017.

Bright Horizons Hull is excited to be part of all children’s journeys and look forward to welcoming the children to the nursery.

My son has been with the nursery since September 2024 and has come on massively since joining. We very quickly saw a difference with his independent play and found his social skills have improved massively. The staff are lovely and ready to answer and questions you might have. My sons face lights up
when we arrive outside the building which is so lovely to see. We rarely have an issue dropping him off, he is always happy to go play with his carers. The food they serve had such a variety and opens the children up to new taste palettes.

Since my daughter started nursery October 2024 she has come on leaps and bounds. Her confidence and her development has really established. She absolutely loves attending nursery, she walks out the front door in a morning on her own egar to get to nursery.
All staff are lovely, welcoming and very
friendly. I was very nervous about leaving my daughter at first, but now I have my full trust in the nursery and staff. The care they provide is outstanding. sometimes, I have been lucky enough to watch a little through the window, and the staff are just amazing with all the children.
I can not recommend Bright Horizons Kingswood enough. I am so grateful for the care they provide my daughter.

My daughter has attended from toddler class and has now moved through the rooms with age to pre-school. All the staff we have had contact with (even those not in her room) greet her by her name and are so friendly, she has a brilliant bond with them and will happily talk about them outside of nursery
hours too!
I'm updated constantly on the app of her meals during the day and the occasional pictures as I know they are busy looking after our children.
The meals are varied and nutritious and made by the famous chef who all the children talk about.
I wouldn't want to send my child anywhere else, and would recommend it to others without a doubt. A brilliant nursery with lovely staff. Will always remember the care and kindness you have shown towards my daughter it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you all.

Can’t recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are amazing and my daughter loves coming here. She is learning, growing and changing every month and I know nursery is playing a huge part in that. All of the girls who work in the room my daughter is in are incredible. They are attentive, supportive,
friendly and caring and you can see all of this by the high level of care they give to all of the children. I feel at ease dropping my daughter here knowing she is going to have a fantastic day full of joy and laughter. The app is also great as I can see how she is doing during the day, what meals she’s had, if she’s had a nap, and updates with photos of her playing and having lots of fun. I am forever grateful to all the staff who work here and can’t thank them enough!

Our daughter is 18 months old has been attending the nursery for almost a year now, she has always been really shy so we were nervous about sending her to the nursery but the staff are absolutely lovely and are all amazing with her. She has come on so much in the last 10 months and has come out of her
shell, made new friends and started becoming more sociable. She has also learned so much since being here and she loves going to nursery and gets really excited to go. The staff are all incredible and we cannot thank them enough for looking after our little girl.

Our daughter has recently left the nursery to attend school. The school have commented on how well prepared for school she has been and how advanced her knowledge and vocabulary is.
Our daughter attended for 4 years and always enjoyed it, very settled and well looked after. If we ever had anything
to discuss with staff, they were open and happy to oblige.
Would certainly recommend.

My little boy has been attending the setting since he was 1 years old, he is now 3. He has always loved the nursery setting and all staff have been very friendly and seem happy to be there. The nursery setting has a SALT specialist who was concerned regarding my child’s speech so referred him which
I found very good. They regularly check my little boys progress and let me know how he is doing.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery for eighteen months now and her development has come on so much since attending. She’s confident and always goes off happily with the carers in a morning. I was so apprehensive when she first started nursery as I felt the mum's guilt of leaving my little girl
there, but the staff here have filled me with such confidence as I know they’re so professional and look after my daughter brilliantly. I’d highly recommend Bright Horizons Kingswood Nursery. Professional, friendly, show a genuine interest in child development. Fantastic place for babies and young children!

Bright Horizons, Kingswood Hull is such a lovely nursery. My daughter has attended this nursery for a year now and has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are brilliant and she loves one staff member in particular, so much. We have had excellent and positive feedback on how our daughter has developed
and progressed in the last year.
The environment is clean and welcoming to both children and parents.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone and totally understand how it is so highly rated.

As a parent, I was obviously very nervous about my one-year-old starting nursery and being left alone as she is super clingy and was frightened she wouldn't get the same snuggles and reassurance she gets at home. I am happy to say nearly every time I go to pick her up, I always look through the window,
and if she is not happy and playing, she is in one of the girl's arms having a cuddle.
Today was a big step as when I dropped her off, she actually put her arms out to her teacher and went to her without having to be prised out of my arms. Feel like progress is definitely been made, and she’s only been attending for less than two months.

My son does seem to enjoy going to nursery once he is there, staff make sure when he feels unsettled that they give him the comfort that he needs. The meals are nutritious, and he always enjoys eating the food that is offered. He enjoys the toys and activities that are available and has the opportunity
to play outdoors.
I like the app, and getting updates about what my child has eaten, napped etc. however I would like photos more often, it is very rare I ever receive a picture, so I don’t get to see what he has done, or seeing that he has settled. It would be reassuring and nice to see photos of him at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Hull Kingswood 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.933 for Bright Horizons Hull Kingswood Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Hull Kingswood Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 15 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.882

  • 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.
