So pleased we picked this nursery for our son. He started when he was 1 year old and has been at bright horizons (Timperley) for 6+ months. To see how much his language has developed and all the new things he has learnt is wonderful. He is such a happy boy going in and smiles when sees the staff. They
made settling in so easy for him (and me!). The staff are excellent and we love the app and how informative handover is when we pick him up. Can't recommend this nursery enough. They have been excellent and we love all the activities they pan and the photos/meal/happy updates. Thank you so much to all the staff at Bright Horizons! You are Amazing!

We love sending our boys to Bright Horizons. The staff are friendly, caring and nurturing. They promote fun and adventure as well as a good level of focus on academics and science in particular. We think the spaces and provocation provided is of the highest standard and would highly recommend other
parents to send their children to Timperley Bright Horizons.

We have had a great experience with the team in the baby room who have taken such care with getting to know my daughter when she started. We really feel the team are caring and take a personal, professional approach to caring for our daughter. We always feel confident they support her development and
would tell us if they have any suggestions or concerns. Thanks baby room team!

We are so impressed with Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool. This is our second child to attend the nursery.
The staff in the baby room show such genuine warmth and care for our daughter. Her key worker is brilliant and seems to know our daughter so well. Their bond is everything that
you would want from a nursery experience. They do so many well-planned activities and have a lovely, varied menu of food.
We also love the App where we can see pictures of the activities our daughter has done, how she has slept and how much she has eaten. It's so reassuring to see pictures of her with a smile on her face.
We have recommended the nursery to anyone who has asked.

We recently moved to Timperley, with our daughter transferring into preschool from another excellent Bright Horizons setting and our son starting in the baby room. I can honestly say we've been delighted by the standard of care and education that our children are receiving. We were worried about how
our daughter would handle the move, but she quickly formed a secure attachment with her key person, has made lots of friends and is flourishing.
Our baby boy has settled in really well too; despite being the youngest in his room he is fully included in activities and eats and sleeps very well.
All the staff, in particular the room leaders, are confident, knowledgeable and caring. We feel as though the team fully support our approach to topics like feeding, toilet training, behaviour and the 'gentle parenting' philosophy.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that both of your children have settled in so well and are thriving. It's wonderful to know that our team's care and approach align with your family values.

My little boy has attended since 2022. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time in each of the rooms. He often wants to stay and play longer. The food is very good, he will often eat meals at nursery that he wouldn't at home!
He enjoys all the activities that are offered to him, the staff show great interest
in the children and are always keen to hear what he has been doing at home and try to incorporate this into his time at nursery.

Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool has always been a fantastic nursery for our young boy but recently they have gone above and beyond in supporting us as we manage our son's emerging speech difficulties and work with third-party support. The staff are now like family - we are so grateful

We have been very impressed with our experience at Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool so far. Our son has settled in quickly. There is real warmth and love from the staff members, especially his key worker, which is evident at pick-ups and drop-offs. The handovers are thorough and the
app is up to date daily.
My son really enjoys the activities which are imaginative and promote creative leaving. I've noticed a real difference in his behaviour, learning and curiosity in the few months he has been there.
Overall, I have been very impressed with Bright Horizons and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents.

The teachers and staff there are very nice, patient and caring. They taught my son a lot, apart from knowledge, they also taught him to be friendly, to share, sometimes to refuse if it's not right. My son grew a lot since he went to Bright Horizons. I really appreciate what you have done.

I have had two children in this nursery since 2016. The prices are very reasonable, but the service is exceptional. My kids are different, one loved to learn and they went with that. She is now one of the top children in her class. My younger child is a lot quieter and prefers practical learning. They
would offer him quiet time on the mat when things got too noisy, taking the time to help him feel comfortable in the room. The staff go above and beyond. They update via a website, which is nice to see the photos of what he's been up to and the menus are there too, with updates on what has been ate or toilet updates or for even more detail of the day. My youngest has just left and if there were more kids on the way, I would not give a second thought to coming back, I would recommend 100%. Thank you to all the staff, for everything over the last 7 years.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.675)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Timperley 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 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 4.880 for Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.795 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 14 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.795

  • 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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2019

My love for child care began at the age of 17 when I enrolled on a Cache diploma in child care and education course and began placements working in nursery settings.


After gaining my level 3 qualification I began working in one of the nurseries where I did my placement. I worked there for 10 years, working with all age groups ranging from 0-5 years.


Starting as a level 3 practitioner I soon became a senior practitioner with the responsibility of running the toddler unit and then was promoted to third in charge. During my time at the nursery, I went on to study at university and gained a Foundation Degree in Early Year’s Child Hood Studies. This enabled me to gain even more knowledge to go along with my many years of experience. I am really looking forward to developing my career and the exciting future ahead of me by joining the Bright Horizons Timperley team.
