My daughter has been at Bright Horizons, Regiate for 3 years and has absolutely flourished there. The facilities and activities are great and the staff have been amazing, helping her through the loss of a Grandparent and arrival of a new baby.


I feel the nursery has prepared her brilliantly for

school so although she is sad to move on she is also excited to begin the new chapter. I have no reservation in recommending the nursery and am pleased to be settling my son in.

My granddaughter has had a very positive time at this nursery. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The nappies and nappy cream are provided. Babies and toddlers are on the ground floor with each age group having its own garden area. Three-year-olds are on the first floor with a lift available
for those who need it. There is ample parking including five spaces with no parking spaces between then to allow toddlers to be safely got out of the care. I would strongly recommend this nursery.

I love this nursery. My children feel safe and happy here and there are always events and activities to keep them stimulated making it a fun place to learn and develop new skills. The staff are caring and friendly and I feel they're in good hands.
It's great the older children are able to vote for
specific activities. They enjoy the educational visits such as farm animals and the fire brigade. Overall great nursery.

Bright Horizons Reigate has been part of my every day for the last 5 years. My son first went there from the baby room all the way to Pre-school and now my daughter is going through the same process, at the moment she is in the toddlers.
I feel that nursery is my kids second home. They know everybody
and the staff all call my kids by their names, it has a very cosy feeling.
All the rooms have a nice routine and the kids follow that with no problem. Food is excellent and the kids get used to eating healthily.
The building is adapted for kids safety with high door handles, double lock to outdoor and toilet for little people. Little things that I sometimes look and think "Hum. I could do with that at home!".
The management make sure through the year they have different activities and incentive to learn while playing and every week parents get a newsletter with the various activities done that week for the different rooms.
The room staff are great and know the kids really well, even if the child is not their key child.

My little boy started here at 10 months old and from the moment he joined, he has loved every minute. The staff are so kind and care so much for the kids. It’s always hard leaving your little one for the first time, but I’ve felt reassured knowing he’s in such good hands.


The whole team here spend

time ensuring your little one settles in when they start but also support them as they progress into a new room. My little boy is about the start in the Toddler Room and has already spent some time settling in before his official move next month.


They keep track of his progress and learning milestones and check in with us regularly so we know how he’s getting on.


For me, one of the major plus sides of Bright Horizons is the access the kids have to the outside - my little boy loves this even in the winter!


I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery and their wonderful staff.

The management team have also been very polite as I drop off and pick up

I occasionally pick up my grandson (with the agreement of my son who lets the nursery know). Due to a last minute change of plan the nursery did not know. Before I could pick up my grandson, the receptionist confirmed with my son that it was OK.
I was very pleased with this level of security.

We are very pleased with the nursery. The staff is very warm and lovely to talk to. Our son loves going to the nursery and has learnt a lot here. The nursery provides the opportunity for all round development and he has been participating in music classes, French classes, technology (computer lessons),
football etc and enjoys these thoroughly. This nursery promotes overall development.

My son attends Bright Horizons in Reigate 4 days a week.
He has recently moved into preschool 'ready for school' room. The nursery setting provides a safe, caring and nurturing environment where my son has learnt so much.
Under the care of the manager and all of the staff team at the nursery, I
know I am leaving my precious son in the very best care.
The happy and creative space enables all children to truly thrive.
Thank you for everything you do.

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Reigate highly enough. The staff are dedicated, warm approachable and extremely professional. The setting is clean, bright, colourful and an excellent canvas for learning. Both my children attend and I have seen remarkable progression in their development - and
they're happy and enjoy their time at nursery. Thank you to all the hard working, wonderful people at Bright Horizons Reigate!

The nursery has been an outstanding choice of childcare for my children. (Now 6 and 3).
Both boys have made strong friendships with peers and built great relationships with the staff.
Staff are personable, professional, caring, thoughtful and kind. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Both boys
blossomed, learnt skills and built their character that will last a lifetime.

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.

I also hold the role of the nursery SENCO, and I have a strong passion for child development in this area. 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.

Being a member of the National Trust helps my family and I have some wonderful adventures together exploring natural environments. In my spare time, I also enjoy reading, and during the past year, I found a new interest in baking.
