Excellent facilities to help my son grow and develop social skills. I have been very impressed with his current key worker who gave him the attention and dedication needed to help him transition to his new room. As a result his confidence has grown and he has made new friends.

My 3 year old son started the nursery in January. As most parents I was apprehensive as to how he would settle in however 2 months down the line he is thoroughly enjoying the nursery and has settled in very well. The manager is always very polite, professional and greets with a friendly smile. My son's
key persons are more friendly and caring towards him than I could have imagined which is why he has settled in so well and equally I am left reassured. But all other staff members from the catering staff to teachers from other classrooms are all friendly. The nursery offers a safe and tidy environment as well as impressing with outstanding Ofsted results which was one of the enticing factors for me personally. The play area is full of various different activities as are the rooms. As a parent I constantly updated regarding changes occurring week by week and also the activities that each of the classrooms partake in. My son has not been here long but so far I am very happy.

Well run nursery with lovely, caring staff who really know the children. A lot of effort has been put into improving the nursery since the change in management a few years ago with lots of opportunities for parents to feed in views. My only area for improvement would be to introduce some new toys in
rooms that children are for more than a few months and perhaps some more varied organised activities.

We've had 2 kids at KU and both have absolutely loved it. Older spent a year in the preschool room and was very well prepped for starting school last September. Younger one has been there since 1 yr old and now in the toddler room developing in leaps and bounce. The nurses are very caring and deal with
each child as an individual in every aspect and management has put in place an excellent framework which includes ever developing resources.

I've been very pleased with the nursery and happy to be using it second time around. I find the staff are very knowledgeable about my staff, even the manager who has to oversee so many kids. I feel my son is not only being taken good care of, but is also being developed and the team are supportive of
his needs.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 3 years now and we are extremely happy with all aspects of her care.


When she transitioned up to pre-school a few months earlier than scheduled, the nursery staff did an amazing job at helping her to settle in with her older piers and as a result she

has hugely grown in her own self confidence.


We have recently had a new addition to the family, and again the nursery staff managed this unsettling time amazingly well.


We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone and have in fact already enrolled our daughter who will start at the end of 2016.

This purpose-built nursery is a great environment for babies all the way through to pre school age children. The staff are warm and committed and do a fantastic job bringing the best out of every child. My own children are very happy and settled here and involved in a variety of different activities
and learning experiences. I would highly recommend this nursery to any prospective parents!

My eldest son has been attending the nursery for almost two years and I'm extremely happy with the level of care provided. The staff are great, extremely attentive and caring and they take real interest in the children and their needs and interests. The range of activities offered are varied and stimulating
as well as good fun. This along with the excellent facilities, great outdoor space and lots of opportunities for the children to participate in additional activities (computer classes, ballet and French lessons to name a few) makes the nursery a welcoming and stimulating environment. My son really enjoys his time there and his development and learning have progressed significantly whilst in their care. My youngest son has also recently joined the nursery and thanks to the great staff in the baby room, he has settled very quickly and is also already enjoying his time there. I'm looking forward to seeing him develop there in the same way as his older brother!

Since putting my daughter into Kidsunlimited Reigate; I must say that the staff within her room and outside her room as been so welcoming to her. Being a new mum and placing my daughter into nursery wasn't the easiest decision but the management team have really be kind and helpful and also supporting.
My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 10 months and soon approaching one; and being at Kidsunlimited as really helped her development. I have developed a close parent partnership both with her room leader, key carer and the other girls in her room. Both manager and deputy manager always ensure that her individual needs are always being met. When collecting her at the end of the day she seems very happy which makes me happy and often when I arrive in the morning to drop her off; she reaches out to the other staff members which is really reassuring. I am also often able to take art work home which is has done and lots of pictures too; which always makes my day.

My daughter has just had her first month at nursery and loves it. She bounces (9 months old) when we go and tends to cry when she leaves. All staff have been amazing with helping and guiding us. I feel she could not be in better hands and with KidsUnlimited, she gets the interaction that she needs.

The nursery staff (Toddler Room) are very good at managing the needs of the children. They seem to know how to get them to eat well, put an extra effort to ensure children are safe at all times. My son seems very happy when we leave him in the toddler room and does a small dance.

The nursery did a great job of settling my Velcro baby and have accommodated various complex dietary needs without a blink. Staff always have time to talk about my child's day or needs and I never feel rushed at drop off or pick up. My child seems to have exciting and varied days and is settling into
a great routine. The staff always seem to manage to give my child lots of cuddles when needed too. There are lots of different activities to stimulate the older children with a great range of extras like ballet, French and football. I have been really impressed with the quality of staffing and the management. I would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

As she completed this the opportunity to move to Reigate became available and she joined the team as nursery manager.
