Both my children now attend Bright Horizons & both love spending their time there. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. My daughter often talks about her teachers at home and how they make her so happy while at nursery. Each staff member is very attentive to the children. Transitioning my girls
into the nursery setting could not have gone smoother with the help of all the staff. The staff also make a huge effort with the parents too, which really helps us to feel involved with our children's daily activities. The nursery itself is always clean and the range of activities for the kids is great. The food is also great for kids and they cater for a range of dietary requirements. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a clean safe and fun place for their child.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear your children are enjoying their time with us and that the transition has been smooth. It's wonderful to know that both the staff and the activities are making such a positive impact. Your recommendation means the world to us!

Bright Horizons Renfrew Early Learning and Childcare has gone above and beyond for my son. As a nervous first-time mum, I was anxious to leave him when returning to work but all the staff and management made me feel so comfortable. Eleven months on and it is now one of his favourite places to go and
has such a bond with all the staff, even stopping for cuddles on the way out and shouts their names at home. Highly recommended.

We are so delighted that our daughter attends Bright Horizons Renfrew. We cannot fault anything about this nursery. The staff are all brilliant with the children and make them feel so welcome when they enter for the day. The nursery provides so many enriching activities and supports our daughter and
the other children throughout. It is a wonderful environment for our daughter to learn and play in. We have observed the nursery is kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, and always makes sure my daughter is comfortable and in clean and dry clothes after a wet/messy activity. The food variety is excellent, and the relaxed and communal setting for meals has helped my daughter with trying new foods. It is a joy to see her flourish at this nursery.

I remember visiting 3 other nurseries in the area. The moment I entered Bright Horizons I knew I had found the right one. I was reminded of this when one of my kids came home screaming and crying and inconsolable because they wanted to go back to school to see their teacher, I'll never forget that.

My son has been in Bright Horizons, Renfrew for almost 2 years. He looks forward to going to preschool and always enjoys it fully. They provide excellent care. I know my son is in safe hands when I drop him off each day. The meals are balanced and nutritious and have helped him to have a more diversified
diet. He leaves this year to go to primary school but I know he will miss it dearly. It has been a significant part of his childhood and I appreciate the effort and care put in to provide these children with a happy and secure environment to learn, grow and develop.

Both my little ones absolutely love the nursery and staff. The teachers are wonderful with them, they are so encouraging and have really helped them both to thrive in their development. I love that the partnership with a local gym provides the opportunity for swimming lessons, my daughter looks forward
to these every week and she is so confident in the water now. The app is great for receiving updates on their day and their individual development. It definitely gives me peace of mind throughout the day, knowing how they are doing. I would always highly recommend this nursery to other parents. We have never had any reason to fault the nursery or the staff. Everyone is lovely and supportive.

Since my little one started nursery almost six months ago, he has loved every minute of it! The staff have been so welcoming to him. They really got to know my boy and have went over and beyond with their care towards him.
I cannot thank the team enough, they all work so well together and ensure every
child's needs are met. I have been amazed at the number of events that run throughout the year, which allows parents to engage with each other too. The reporting system is fantastic, I am informed daily of his activities during the day. This consists of meals, drinks, snacks as well as photos from various events. Parents are also provided with newsletter updates and other useful information. Finally, the partnership the nursery has with a leisure club has allowed my son to undertake swimming lessons. He asks about this every week and adores it. This allows him to build confidence and self-esteem in the water which he has taken into other parts of his life.

My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting at the nursery over a year ago. He has learned so much, like how to interact with other children, his speech has improved so much (learning new words every day) and he has been shown different methods of learning new skills. The staff are so friendly
and will do anything they can to help. They also make you feel so welcome and see each child as an individual. The nursery provides a large selection of different foods for the children, while it all being healthy options. Personally, I feel my child eats better than me when he is at nursery. My son really enjoys his time at the nursery as he gets to participate in a large variety of activities, such as reading books, going for walks, playing in soft play and painting, are just some of the activities. I would highly recommend Bright Horizons Renfrew Early Learning and Childcare to anyone. As your children are safe and secure in their premises. As well as being with a great team. It's like having a family away from home.

My little girl adores the staff in her nursery. The Renfrew Nursery has great communication skills and are very friendly. The nursery are great at meeting my daughter's educational needs, they are always physically motivating the children with frequent walks to the forest or at the play area. They encourage
my child's artistic side with the many drawings and artwork she brings home. My daughter is currently learning about the different seasons and at present and the nursery has encouraged to her participate in tasks such as picking up leaves, sticks and acorns around the local park. My daughter loves the food at the nursery and they have always met her nutritional needs. My daughter has less than a year left at nursery. I am very grateful for the positive influence the staff have had at such vital and important years in my little girls life.

My son is having a great time at your nursery and we are starting to see our wee boy grow up, he was a little shy at first but is now going for a full day and can be found crying sometimes when he has to leave nursery, now it's the opposite which is testament to the good work the staff do. We are kept
up to date with everything that is going on via email, which is welcome, especially during long days at work. I would recommend the nursery to anyone in the area and would like to thank all the staff for the work they are putting in.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.057)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.057) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Renfrew 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.901 for Bright Horizons Renfrew Early Learning and Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.901

  • 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 4.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Renfrew Early Learning and Childcare is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.556

  • 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.
