My son is in preschool at nursery and he has been at Bright Horizons since he was 1. In every room, the staff have been brilliant and have made my son feel welcome and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and caring and my son adores his key worker. This is a testament to the hard work and effort
of these amazing women. Thank you, Bright Horizons for taking such loving care of my child.

My son has been at this nursery for three weeks and the staff have been lovely and helpful in settling him in. We had a personal tour of the nursery which was excellent. Staff were welcoming and very professional.
My son went to the deputy manager instantly, all staff said hello to him addressing him
by his name. I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to any prospective parents.

My daughter started the nursery when she was only 9 months and we are very happy with her development. She is a very confident and happy little girl with a nice shaped personality. She always talks about the children and staff from the nursery and she is so excited to come in every single day. The staff
are lovely, really welcoming and they have built a strong relationship not only with her, but they are always more than happy to involve us in all aspects of our daughter's development.

I am very happy with the changes of development of my child. She is very keen on going to nursery and she's enjoying her time there. I get to know lots of new songs thanks to her singing. However, I do see that she's getting a bit bored in her new group and that she's really enjoying pre-school.
Members
of staff do look after kids very well and do report to me on her behaviour and development well.

My son has been very happy, made lots of friends and also surprises me with lots of new things he has learnt e.g lots of songs, his ABC and much more.
I have always said about how good the food is here and the variety of food offered.

I would strongly recommend this nursery. All the staff are very friendly and have helped our son settle in well. He enjoys going to nursery and has lots of fun! The facilities are good with lots of time outside. We are particularly impressed with his current key worker, Laura. She has built a lovely
bond with him and he is developing well.

The nursery have looked after our daughter since she was six months old and the care has been superb. Our daughter absolutely loves being there and particularly the staff.
The food is excellent and the level of service to both children and parents is very, very good.
Highly recommended.

Excellent, professional caring staff. My daughter is well looked after. I have attended a few nurseries and this is definitely the best of the bunch. Would highly recommend this nursery to others, as the standard of care is consistent and brilliant.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Bright Horizons East Barnet 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.911 for Bright Horizons East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.911

  • 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 4.988 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 17 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.988

  • 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.
