A BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS NURSERY IN BARROW-IN-FURNESS

Discover Bright Horizons' nurturing nursery in Barrow-In-Furness, designed to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

Your child will be encouraged to explore all of the age-appropriate resources, including the free-flowing nursery garden. The beautiful garden features two areas, one for under two’s and the other for over two’s. So no matter the age of your child, they will have their own space to play, learn and explore in a supportive environment.

To further give your child the inspiration and confidence to navigate subjects such as mathematics, art, reading and writing, they practice a Growing Enhancement programme unique to Bright Horizons. This programme is delivered by the dedicated nursery staff who all have a minimum relevant Level 3 qualification in childcare, with some of their long-standing team having over 25 years’ experience in the childcare industry.

This nursery is conveniently situated within the grounds of Furness General Hospital, making pick-up and drop-off as convenient as possible for hospital staff and local families.

The team would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit today and they will show you all their nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

My child has attended the nursery for a year and I could not be happier. The staff team are fantastic always happy to see me and my child and the handover is great, it means I can leave for work knowing my child is happy and safe. The big bonus for our family was the fact all the staff are qualified
with no students, so I know my daughter is in the best hands. I would recommend the nursery for all of us mum's out there that need that extra bit of reassurance.

Brilliant nursery from all aspects. My child loves coming and is always happy when I pick him up at the end of the day. Every single member of the staff are qualified and also have first aid and safe guarding which is outstanding! Speaking from a mothers point of view my child's happiness, wellbeing
and safety is priority. I would highly recommend this nursery it is second to none!

My eldest child attended this nursery and I was very impressed with both the staff and overall level of care she received. Move forward 8 years and I am delighted to say that the high standard of care remains the same. I think the fact that many of the original staff still work there speaks for itself.
I like the fact that we are always greeted in a warm and friendly manner and the children always seem happy and busy with lots of exciting activities.

My child has been at this nursery for 4 months.
She is extremely happy when she goes into nursery and when she is picked up.
The staff are always welcoming and greet us with a smile.
The included meals, nappies and when she was younger formula was a great help.
She's coming along great and it's
nice to be able to look in her learning story to see what she has been up to at nursery.

My daughter, 13 months old, has been attending this nursery since she was 10 months old. She settled very well with thanks to the lovely staff within the room. As soon as we pull up to nursery she has a big smile and is keen to go and see all her friends. She has come along fantastic already coming
out with lots of new words from the lovely stories and songs that she joins in with throughout the day.
Every afternoon I am met with a very happy little girl who has had lots of fun throughout the day and I receive a note which details what she has done throughout the day. A helpful inclusion of the nursery is that they provide breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and snacks throughout the morning. They also provide formula milks until the age of one and all nappies and wipes for the time they need them, that is all included in the price which is very helpful which means I don't need to bundle lots of things with me.
I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.081)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.081) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Barrow 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Bright Horizons Barrow Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.081 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Barrow Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.081

  • 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.

Hello, I’m Steph and I’ve been working here at our Barrow Nursery since we opened in September 2004 after gaining my NVQ level 3 qualification in Childcare and Education.


Over the years I have gained a wealth of knowledge, and experience and becoming a parent myself this has helped me, support families, especially when leaving their little ones for the first time to start their journey. I also hold the role of Nursery SENCO supporting our families of children with additional needs to ensure every child has the best possible start. I see myself as a very understanding and reassuring person and will always be here to speak to anyone who may need to chat about concerns they have.
