My daughter has absolutely loved her time in preschool. From the first day, she was treated with such kindness and the team took the time to get to know her, her likes and dislikes and make her feel at ease. On her second day, she ran in smiling and shouting, "bye mummy". The team plan fantastic, fun,
learning activities and keep parents updated with photos via the app, which is always lovely to see. The food goes down really well with my daughter too. The facilities are well-kept, clean and there are great toys and activities for the kids. My daughter always has so much to tell me when she comes home. On the admin side, the management team are very responsive and helpful, always able and happy to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend Bright Horizons, Reigate Day Nursery and Preschool. Thank you to all the team.

Since my son has come to the nursery from June 2022. I have been extremely impressed by all members of staff at Bright Horizons. They are all very caring and loving women who know my son inside out. The management are very responsive to emails and are wonderful at offering advice. As far as nurseries
go, this nursery feels like a home away from home. The baby room is large with lots of toys and things to keep babies entertained. The outdoor space is beautiful and sheltered. My son is offered a range of varied food throughout the day and I love the app so I can keep track of what he has eaten as well as look at photos that have been taken throughout the day. Overall, I'd highly recommend this beautiful nursery to anyone. The staff are friendly and wonderful lovely ladies that truly care for my son.

My daughter is very happy at nursery. She has a great connection and relationship with her carers and I can tell they are very fond of her, which helps me when I drop her off. She smiles and puts her arms out to her carers and I am very impressed with the parent and carer relationship too. The staff
who I have spoken to are always helpful, nurturing and I can tell have my daughter's best interests at heart. I speak very highly about nursery to friends and family. I love all the activities they get up to and I really enjoy seeing that on the app.

I love this nursery. My baby boy joined a couple of months ago and is now 11-months. I’ve been blown away by the staff. I was always impressed by the facilities but it’s the staff that has made me choose this nursery over others. They are so kind and patient with my son and seem really invested in him.
They always take their time with you as the parent to ensure they know what they need to when you drop your baby off and give you a thorough update when you pick them up. I’ve found this so heartening, it’s just lovely to build a strong rapport with those looking after your children. I’m also so impressed with the activities they run, the meals they give and also the app that they update with information and photos very regularly so you can see your child thrive. My son is so happy here and I can’t recommend it enough.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Horizons, Reigate for two months now. Coming from another nursery that she loved, we were a bit worried that she may find the transition difficult. However, she adjusted to the new pre-school environment immediately and tells us weekly that she "loves her new
nursery, it has different rooms to play in, lots of activities and the chef cooks lovely food". We already feel that she is being prepared for the transition to reception.
From the very start, we have been impressed with the management of the nursery. Enrolment was easy and there were no hiccups when it came to transferring the free hours funding from our previous nursery. They are well organised and communication is great with weekly emails, daily when necessary and daily updates on the app, so you can see not only what activities your child has been doing, but also what they have eaten. All the staff are friendly and caring and the facilities are excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

The nursery is great. The staff genuinely care and have gone above and beyond to help, reassure me and ensure that my child was settling in. The app and getting regular updates on my daughter's day is incredible and has made the process of going back to work so much easier for me. My daughter took a
bit of time to eat her meals at nursery (too many exciting things going on for her) and they really worked hard to help her with this and to keep me in the loop, which I so appreciated and I can happily say, she thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery, meals and everything!

The manager and the rest of the team always have the children’s well-being and development at heart. They are well, organised, pragmatic and understanding and have dealt well with the considerable challenges thrown at them over the last 2 years. We have had two children attending the nursery over six
years and couldn’t be happier. Thank you.

A fantastic nursery. We have recently gone through a family bereavement and the care from the team was superb. They went the extra mile and did all they could to support us. Both of our children love going to nursery every day and that's all you can ask for as a parent. The information we receive is
brilliant, the staff know our children so well. Would thoroughly recommend.

A fantastic nursery! My child started at Bright Horizons in the height of the pandemic. Nearly a year on I can fully say it has been the best place to send her. My daughter is very happy at nursery and her development has been helped through her participation at nursery. All staff a friendly and happy

My daughter has been at the nursery since early 2019, starting in the baby room and most recently moved into the pre-school room. Her development during her time with Bright Horizons has been brilliant, she loves it and the team always go above and beyond to give her the help and care she needs. The
facilities are excellent and the introduction of the Bright Horizons app has been brilliant, we love seeing her daily activities and being able to interact with the team more easily. We're so happy we chose this nursery for her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

A lovely nurturing environment with fantastic purpose-built facilities and great outside space for all sections of the nursery. Both my sons love their time at Bright Horizons Reigate and although my eldest has now left to start school, it is largely thanks to his lovely carers that he has made such
a positive start to life at school.

The staff at Bright Horizons Reigate are absolutely fantastic and go above and beyond to ensure that the children are happy and well looked after, as well as keeping them engaged and enhancing their learning. My oldest son recently left and absolutely loved the pre-school unit. Our youngest has now
just joined the baby room, and is so happy and settled. I was worried about him starting during the Pandemic, but the nursery has been excellent at settling him, at communicating how well he's getting on and also sent me photos of his day it's really comforting to see him so happy! The staff at Reigate really are a credit.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.630)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.630) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Reigate 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.797 for Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 16 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.833

  • 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.

Louise

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2014

Louise is the nursery manager. She has worked in childcare for 30 years, having gained her NNEB qualification in 1985. She started her career as a Nursery Nurse within a small nursery chain and soon realised that she enjoyed the managerial side of childcare, moving into a management role within the company in 1988. In 1990 Louise had the opportunity to join a small independent nursery as Manager and became part of the Teddies group of nurseries in 1997 which in turn joined the Bright Horizons network of nurseries in 2009.


During this time Louise has had two children who enjoyed the benefit of attending her nurseries. She also supported other nursery managers in a training role within the company to share and support good practices. After becoming part of Bright Horizons and having achieved an ‘outstanding’ accreditation from Ofsted at the Bright Horizons in Crawley, Louise decided that the time was right to further her education and attended university alongside her role as Manager, gaining first a Foundation degree and then a full degree and Early Years Teacher Status. As she completed this the opportunity to move to Reigate became available and she joined the team as nursery manager.


Her passion lies in striving for excellence and she is committed to the safeguarding welfare of the children, staff members and families at Reigate. Louise is also a Grandma and in her spare time enjoys visiting the theatre.

Recently, I completed a Level 3 SENCO course to enhance my knowledge and dedication to this field.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband on our family farm. Meeting up with friends and family is another favourite pastime, and I love to unwind with a good book.
