My daughter recently joined the nursery and being a first-time mum, I was really nervous and worried. However, the staff were so helpful, allowing us as many settling in sessions as we needed.
This made us both more comfortable on the first full day. I cannot say thank you enough for the time and energy
all the staff have put into ensuring our daughter has settled in well.

Our seven years at Bright Horizons Reigate has been wonderful. Both our children love their time there under the care and support of the wonderful staff. They have helped them to grow and become ready for school and I am especially impressed with the pre-school setup. Both children have been extremely
happy there.

Fantastic nursery, with extremely caring, kind and experienced staff. Both my sons have loved being at Bright Horizons Reigate and we would certainly recommend it to parents/guardians looking for a nursery for their child.
The management team are always available and very helpful with accommodating
extra sessions if necessary.
Thank you very much to all the staff, we shall miss you hugely when our son leaves you in two weeks for school!

Whilst the facilities and outdoor space at the nursery are excellent, my wife and I were left disappointed with what we believe to be a lack of communication and planning around the departure of the key carer for our child.
Having lost confidence in this nursery and with management unable to reassure
us to the contrary, we chose to withdraw our child and have since started him somewhere else, which we are of no doubt was the right decision.


That's not to say that we wouldn't necessarily recommend Bright Horizons, as I'm sure for the majority they will be very satisfied with it. It just didn't work out for us.

Both of my children have attended this nursery since babies with my youngest now about to leave for big school. It has been a brilliant nursery, the staff have been really supportive of their wellbeing and educational journey and both children have left more than ready for big school. They have enjoyed
every moment of their time here and we will all be sad to say goodbye.

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months now, and although still has a few tears at drop off I know he is happy and well cared for during the day. He has formed great bonds with the staff and enjoys the activities on offer and tells me about them when I come to collect and is often still
talking about his carers and what he has done that day at bedtime! Thank you to all the staff in the toddler unit for helping him to settle and providing excellent care for him.

Bright Horizons Reigate has looked after both my children for nearly 6 years in total and I can’t thank them enough. All stages through to preschool have been nurturing with their best interests at heart. I always felt reassured my children were in good hands when I left for work. My children loved
all the extra activities available to them at the nursery such as football, handling baby chicks for a week or learning French! I’d recommend Bright Horizons Reigate to anyone looking for childcare in that age group within the local area.

My little boy has attended the nursery since he was 10 months old. His speech and language development have excelled as a result of all the fun activities he is able to take part in during his days at nursery. He is making really great friends with his peers and strong bonds with the staff especially
his key person. The outdoor facilities are fantastic with each age group having access to their own garden space. The management team have been fantastic and are very flexible and accommodating to the needs of families, they are always available to talk if needed. Mealtimes at the nursery are great and he always eats everything. The nursery newsletter comes out weekly and updates us with events taking place at the nursery as well as the activities happening throughout the week. We also like the fact we can speak to his key people whenever we would like and are able to see his progress within his development book. We cannot wait for his journey to continue in the preschool rooms.

I can't praise all the staff enough, you always receive a warm welcome and it's clear that all the staff have a real caring attitude

My 16 month old son has been at this nursery since November and he’s getting on really well there. Although there are the occasional tears at drop off he’s always full of smiles and energy when it’s time to pick him up at the end of the day. The staff take the time to talk through his day and he seems
content in their care. I love watching him exploring his surroundings through the window when collecting him. There’s something lovely about watching him play and interact confidently with others without me or his dad being there. His development has also come in in leaps and bounds since starting. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking to enrol their child.

I have two daughters who attend Bright Horizons Reigate and they couldn't be happier there. We have been at the nursery for 3 years and experienced the love, care and learning provided in all the rooms. The level of care and involvement of the staff is consistent throughout the rooms, we to us points
to the excellent management and leadership of the managers and room leaders. We are very grateful to have such a happy, wonderful environment to send ou girls too.

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons in Reigate highly enough. The staff and management are exceptional, dedicated, caring, trustful and extremely professional. The indoor and outdoor space is clean and bright. My daughter has made remarkable progress in her development and speech, learnt so much, has
been very happy and made strong friendships with peers. The nursery has helped her to blossom and to become confident. Thank you so much for all your hard work, care, fun and education our daughter has received. We will miss Bright Horizons and all the wonderful people there!

A professionally run nursery with lovely staff. My little boy settled in wonderfully due to the care and loveliness of the girls that work there.
The outside space is fabulous, and the range of toys and activities is extensive. Lots to keep the little ones busy and engaged.
Staff are all knowledgeable
and approachable. The main thing is my son is happy to come in each morning he attends, and is never in a rush to leave at pickup time!
Can't recommend the nursery enough.

My daughter has been at the nursery just over a year now and I have been very happy with her care. She has allergies to dairy and egg, which they have been really good at catering for and that has been such a weight off my mind to have that reassurance, as it was sadly not the same experience at the
previous two nurseries she attended before we finally found this little gem.


Her keyworker and room staff are brilliant, I feel really comfortable discussing any concerns with them. The nursery manager is lovely, really helpful and has been great at fitting my daughter in for extra sessions when needed. My daughter is bright so she needs lots of input which I feel she gets here, she also gets to do Little Kickers and Ballet classes which she loves. My daughter is happy and settled, and looking forward to moving up to pre-school when she turns 3. I would recommend Bright Horizons to anyone looking for a day nursery place for their child.

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.

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.
