I absolutely love the nursery and so does my daughter. We couldn't have asked for more. She's happy to walk in and goes straight off to have breakfast. The ladies in her room are always welcoming and we feel well informed about the nursery and my child's development.

I recently moved so my daughter came from a different Bright Horizons to this one in January. I am extremely happy with my daughter (19 months) being here. Currently, I do not work, however, I chose to continue her contract here as she is so settled and gets so much out of it. She attends one morning
per week. The staff are exceptional and the manageress is outstanding in her approach both to the children, parents, staff and the business as a whole. Despite the fees being slightly more than other local nurseries, I'm desperate to keep her here until she attends school in 3 years time.

I have been hugely impressed with every aspect of Bright Horizons - since my first visit but even more so now. Experiencing the wonderful care that my daughter receives and seeing how incredibly happy she is to go in and how gleefully she recounts her activities when she leaves. It is evident that this
is an incredibly caring and nurturing environment, full of happy kids and carers and the children are challenged and stimulated to keep mind and body active. Socially and mentally it is a fantastic preparation for school. Thank you to the wonderful staff who seem well incentivised and valued.

Bright Horizons Reigate was our top choice nursery for our son and we are delighted with our decision. He has been there 6 months now and loves it. The staff are all so friendly and caring and show genuine affection for the children. The variety of activities is great and he is always outdoor playing
which we love. The food is all cooked on site and freshly prepared. I love the weekly newsletter we receive which keeps us up to date and is really informative. I've recommended the nursery to a friend who has just started and she is really pleased too.

My son attended the Reigate Bright Horizons Nursery for around a year. At first, he was nervous and unsure, given we had just moved to the area and he was previously at a different nursery. The staff and management team were very caring, giving my son all the sensitive support he needed.


In no time

he was familiar with all the staff and children, very quickly making friends. He made great progress with academic learning but equally developed important personal life skills.


Every day we had feedback about what he had learnt and what he had been doing. He was more than ready for school when the time came and indeed his teacher confirmed he is well ahead of the average. Some of his nursery friends are at his new school and I hope will continue to be lifelong friends.


I would recommend this nursery as it emphasises development of the whole child, with an emphasis on independence which of course is a very important life skill. This is in no way forced, but happens as part of the everyday activities.

I have been extremely impressed with the quality of care, facilities and activities available to children at Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery. My son settled quickly and enjoyed his time here. I looked at a few nurseries but this one was by far the nicest. The lovely big windows and outdoor play

My daughter has been going to Bright Horizons in Reigate for the last year and I have noticed a big change in her development since she has been there. Although she is only 18 months old she has become much more confident and is speaking and communicating with us much more. I have also been very impressed
with the daily programme that the children follow and I have always found the staff to be friendly, approachable and keen to offer feedback on how her day has gone.

Very well organised nursery, and all the staff are professional and friendly. The facilities here are great, classrooms light, airy, clean and tidy, with a great outdoor area too. Nursery is really important, not just educationally, but also to develop social skills and develop as a person, and there
is a healthy balance of play, be it painting, colouring, making things etc, and learning, and I'm very pleased with the progress and development of my children.

Our son has made a good progress in his learning and development at Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery.
He also has been very happy since he started attending in Nov 2015, he always talks about how much he likes the staff. The exchange of information about his development, daily routine and what
is happening at nursery has been very helpful. He is ready and very excited to start school in Sept 2016.
A BIG thank you to the whole team at Reigate Day Nursery for the warmth and standard of care our son has received since he first joined. I would recommend Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery to another parent.

My 2 year old daughter has recently joined the nursery. As a doting father, the care of my daughter is the most important thing in the world to me and relinquishing some of this care to a day nursery was a worrying proposition for me. Having viewed several nurseries, I am very happy to say that I have
been completely blown away by the wonderful staff and amazing facilities of this excellent nursery - and for me it was the obvious choice.
The office have been most accommodating with the settling in periods, of which we have had several visits, getting longer each time, to help my daughter get used to the place and get to know the staff in her room. The room is well equipped with plenty of books, toys and activities. The outside areas are fantastic. As somewhat of a food critic, I have been very impressed with the fresh food on offer. The meals and snacks are healthy and well prepared. Every staff member I have met is absolutely lovely and I am so pleased I have found such a good nursery.

We have 2 children who attend Bright Horizons Day Nursery in Reigate, in the toddlers room and the pre school room. We recently moved to the area and could not be happier with the care, facilities & staff. As we have relocated this is the 2nd nursery our children have attended and having the reference
point of the 1st nursery we can confidently say that we made the best choice for our children.


The nursery itself is a wonderful space with clean, colourful rooms, a large variety of toys/ activities and 3 lovely outdoor areas. But the most important part of any nursery is the care the children receive, and every member of staff we have encountered at this nursery is kind, friendly and clearly enjoys what they do. The children are challenged, nurtured, given the option to do extra activities (football, dancing) and we feel like both of our children are catered for - with the care they receive tailored to their personal needs. We would highly recommended Bright Horizons Day Nursery.

My son has been coming to the nursery for 3 years and has enjoyed time in the baby room, toddler room and preschool. He is met every morning by both the management and other nursery staff with a warm welcome and is very happy to be left. The nursery staff do a great job of knowing his character and
supporting him with his individual learning needs. I would highly recommend the nursery. Thank you for taking care of my son so well.

This nursery is excellent. The staff are friendly, supportive and extremely professional. I cannot think of one grumble with the nursery, it really does offer you peace of mind that your child is being cared for in a welcoming, nurturing and safe environment in your absence. As well as excellent interaction
with your child's key worker (whom I have found to be a great support over the months) you'll also get to know the other members of staff who care for your child too. My daughter thrives at this nursery and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nursery that goes that extra mile. The array of activities that my daughter does each week is endless and what's more you're always updated via your child's personal diary and through the nursery's weekly newsletter. It's an excellent nursery I'm extremely happy that I chose it for my childcare.

My 2 children both go to Kidsunlimited in Reigate. My daughter is in the toddler room and my son is in pre-school. They both love the setting and get on brilliantly with their key workers, my son even talks about them at home regularly. As they get older there are additional activities for them to do,
such as football and ballet which I think are a lovely addition. The management team are very helpful and responsive. The weekly newsletter is useful to keep on top of dates (parents evening, book days etc) and gives you an insight into what they are doing each day. A lovely nursery which I would recommend.

My son has been going to Kidsunlimited in Reigate since he was 14 months old and he is now 28 months. I had a look at several nurseries in the area and from the minute I got to KU I knew this was the nursery I wanted to send him to. The biggest appeal for me was that because it's purpose built each
room has access to its own part of the garden so when the weather is nice the kids can go out as much as they want. From the settling in sessions to him moving to the toddler room from babies, he has been supported and the transitions have been so smooth. He's been really happy whenever I drop him off and I've seen his confidence grow such much in recent months. He loves his key carers and you can see that all the girls that work there genuinely love kids, which puts your mind at ease. Recently had to consider moving him to a different nursery because of a change of job etc but he is so settled here and I'm so happy with the level of care they provide that moving him was not an option.

Such a lovely nursery which is why both my children have attended here. My eldest has now left for school but still loves coming back to say hi to her key workers. My youngest is in the toddler room and couldn't be happier. The genuine care and love he receives each day gives me such confidence to leave
him knowing that not only his physical and learning needs will be met but also his emotional needs. As his mum this is the most important thing to me.
The outside space is brilliant and being able to give the kids all day free flow through the warmer months is a highlight of the nursery. A lovely nursery, I highly recommend.

My daughters have recently started at Kids Unlimited Reigate and I am so pleased I chose them to care for them. It's clean, tidy, has a real consistency with care for the children and the staff are great. I was worried about leaving both my daughters as it was the first time I'd used a nursery since
they were born. I needn't have been. On the first full day, the girls settled well and I had received a telephone call to update me on their progress. When I arrived to pick them up, they gave me a full summary of how the day had gone and were so calm and communicative with the girls. They have been really patient with the girls and try to adopt them, I recommend this nursery without hesitation.

My son has been coming to this to nursery for 3.5 years since he was 6 months old and has moved up from the baby room to the toddler room and is now in the pre-school room. Originally, my son was going to attend another nursery in the area, but I changed my mind shortly before I was due to start back
at work once I had looked around this nursery and seen all of the fantastic facilities. One of the biggest selling points is that every single room has direct access to it's own outside space. When the weather is decent the children are always in the garden. It's a fantastic nursery with the most dedicated team. Everyone who works here has a genuine passion for working with children, and I have always felt the team care about my son and look after him as well as I would myself.

My toddler has attended this nursery for 2 years, moving from the baby room to pre-school. The standard of care has been outstanding. The KU team have helped my daughter develop into a confident, articulate toddler. There has been stability in her key workers, activities are well structured and I'm

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.
