A SPACIOUS AND WELCOMING NURSERY IN LIVINGSTON

This beautiful Livingston nursery is specifically designed to enhance your child’s development, from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

The team supports your child from baby – with vibrant sensory rooms, nappy room and milk kitchen – to preschool. An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond. Livingston nursery has partnered with the innovative and well-established Boogie Mites programme to bring the fun of music into the children’s learning.

The nursery features a large garden with plenty of space for activities. Children can let their imaginations loose in the mud kitchen, learn about healthy food choices in the growing space, or play in the separate bicycle and scooter area. The garden can be divided depending on age group, and older children enjoy freeflow access, giving them choice in their exploration.

The team understand the importance of community involvement and regularly take the children on nature walks or visits to the local parks and library, giving them an opportunity to become familiar with their surroundings and confident in new areas. They also host a Christmas party and nursery graduation in the local school’s hall.

Livingston Early Learning and Childcare is conveniently located less than five minutes’ walk from Livingston South train station. Onsite parking and all-inclusive fees, including nappies, wipes, sun cream and more, make morning preparation and drop-off easy for you.

The team would love to meet you and your family so book a visit today and they will show you everything the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

Since my son joined which was just July, he has come on leaps and bounds. His knowledge of reading and different subjects they do each month is amazing, the staff are great and hardworking. They definitely deserve their place in the nursery, always friendly.

The staff take time to really get to know my little girl. I feel so comfortable leaving her here as I know they look after her just as well as my husband and I would. Our daughter loves coming into nursery in the morning and enjoys telling us all about5 her day afterwards - this is all down to the fab
staff, resources and activities my daughter gets to participate in. I wouldn't choose any other nursery if we have another child and I know my daughter will miss it here when she goes to school.

My son started at this nursery in the toddler room and from there moved to the next room. He is always busy, forever talking about the staff in his room and never wants to come home. Every member of the team we have met have seemed passionate and genuinely caring.
I cannot sing their praises enough
and my partner is always recommending the nursery to friends. Absolutely brilliant.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The baby room staff are absolutely amazing with my 9-month-old son who just started in the baby room in February. I started back at work quite a nervous parent and they made a lot of effort comforting me spending time with my son so they would get to know him and his daily routine. In the first week,
they sent me home pictures to reassure me that he was having a good day at nursery which made me begin to relax more. I also received a mother's day card from my son that he did himself which I loved. When I come in to collect him he seems excited to see me and I enjoy hearing from the staff how his day has been. My son has developed into a confident little boy, has made so much progress and is more willing to try new things at home. I would highly recommend this nursery as I feel like my son has an amazing day here and I know he is 100% safe and in confident hands. The staff in the baby room go above and beyond to make sure that I and my son as a family feel important. Thank you so much.

I have had both my children at Bright Horizons and I had my son there from 8 months till he got a funded place last year at the age of 3.
My daughter is in the baby room just now and she is currently 8 months. I can't recommend this nursery enough. Staff are amazing and I recommend this nursery to
anyone who inquires about where my children are at childcare. They made me feel at ease when going back to work both times with regular updates on their progress.
Staff are so caring to the children at the nursery and I am lucky that both my children have had a great experience with childcare and I hope for it to continue.

My little boy comes to Bright Horizons 4 days a week and loves it! He always comes home with a smile on his face, lots of stories to tell about his day and lots of sand in his shoes.
Bringing him to this nursery has brought him out of his shell in many ways and we have noticed this from day 1, he
seems to have made lots of friends and the staff are lovely here, the food menu looks lovely.

Bright Horizons have always provided a very professional, inclusive service for my little boy who has attended since he was 9mths old - he turns 4 next month! He knows all the staff in the Nursery and enjoys catching up with team members regularly as they cross over rooms etc.
His development is encouraged
and he enjoys the daily activities that allow him to express his thoughts and ideas in a productive way.
We receive good communication from the Nursery and know that we are able to contact them should we have any concerns or queries.

My sons are now 4 and 6. They have both attended the nursery since they were 8 months old and have thrived throughout their time at Livingston Nursery. My eldest son was thoroughly prepared for school and I trust that my youngest will have the same life skills to enable him to start school with the
same confidence by the time he is ready to go to school also. The staff at this nursery are superb and make me feel at ease when leaving my children in their care. They all do a fantastic job even when under pressure. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare in the Livingston area.

Both of my children attend (girl 16months and boy 4yrs) and I can't speak highly enough of the nursery.


When we relocated to Scotland, they made what was a difficult period of change for my son, much easier. The leaders and team members are great, they know my children really well and give me great

feedback at the end of each day and at parents evenings. Everybody always has a smile and kind/thoughtful/interested words for us.


We receive weekly email updates including updates about the brilliant Growing Learners programme (unique to Bright Horizons and in my opinion, really sets them apart from other childcare providers).


There are large outdoor spaces and all other facilities are fantastic, clean and well maintained. I love the light and open library space.


I'm confident that my children are safe, happy and enjoying developing through the nursery's extremely child focussed and child led approach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bright Horizons Livingston Nursery to anyone.

My son has been going to Bright Horizons for around 6 months, and he has settled in brilliantly. I cannot recommend the team at Bright Horizons enough - they are incredibly friendly, welcoming and professional. My son actively looks forward to his days at nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since
he has been going. The facilities are great, the nursery is clean, bright and welcoming and the outdoor area is fantastic. Communication is very good too, with weekly newsletters and a personal, tailored update on what he has been doing at the end of each day.

My son has been in the nursery since he was 9 months and has been in 3 rooms - babies, toddlers and twos. I have found the staff in each the room to be amazing with the children. They are very patient and understanding with the children and only too happy to accommodate any requests I have had. There
is always a friendly face in the morning when dropping off and in the evenings they will always take the time to go through what my son has done during the day that is personal to his experience.


There is fantastic communication from the management on the day to day running of the nursery via their newsletters and they take the time to organise social events for the nursery children (e.g. Easter egg hunts etc) which gives us as parents the opportunity to spend time with other parents in the nursery and socialise. The amount of hard work everyone puts in, that is over and above what is needed, is amazing and massively appreciated.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.464)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.464) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Livingston Early Learning and Childcare 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 4 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 4.936 for Bright Horizons Livingston Early Learning and Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 3.528 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Livingston Early Learning and Childcare is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 131 number of registered child places is 26.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 26.2 = 0.153

  • 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.
