We are very happy with Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood. Through a challenging time of our little one going to nursery through the pandemic, the staff made our little one settle as quickly as possible. All staff are very friendly and the food choice seems very good. We also think the range of activities
is good throughout the day.

Lovely staff. My son is learning well through play. He's only 2 but his speech has come on very well, he eats by himself and is starting to count.

The staff at Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood are so welcoming. Someone always says 'good morning' to you when you walk in. The rooms are always clean and quite tidy despite what goes on with the children all day. I've liked the introduction of the take away 'what they did today' forms because I'm always
interested in what my son gets up to and how I can carry on the learning and development at home. I do wonder if he really does eat 'all of his lunch and tea' like they often say but he never comes home hungry so it must be a good sign!

I cannot be more complimentary of the staff. They are all so caring, loving and I feel like my two children have a home away from home. Thank you.

When we had some health issues recently the nursery staff and management really stepped up and helped us out with additional sessions. My daughter loves going every day and enjoys playing with her friends she comes home singing new songs which we need to learn. Plus the staff are helping move on the
potty training.

My son attended the toddler room and the staff were brilliant! I really trusted the staff and my son was extremely happy going into the toddler room. There were a few occasions when the child to staff ratio was off i.e once or twice there were 12 children with 2 staff members. On the whole, I have been
happy with the nursery.

Our daughter has been at the nursery almost 2 years now and I have to say since the new management has come in she is really thriving. She comes in so much happier and I have seen her confidence with the staff grow. This is such a lovely little nursery where the personal touch has not been lost. Thank
you.

My son has been at Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood since September. He began full time here at 7 months so naturally, I was nervous. From the moment I left him with the staff, I felt comfortable and excited for my son. I could tell he was in extremely good hands and I need not be anxious. My son has a
wonderful time here every day. All staff members cheerful, loving and warm-hearted. I couldn't ask for anything better for my son. Thank you!

Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood has been fantastic. Both my children have loved their time here. The staff are amazing, welcoming, fun, creative and caring. They come up with lots of varied activities for the children and teach them lots of things while ensuring they have fun. Both my sons have been really
well prepared for school and have left nursery confident with lots of friends and revving to go to big school. Big thumbs up from me!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.508)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.508) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.814 for Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.814

  • 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 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 10 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.694

  • 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.
