Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. We create a home-from-home feel in our setting and care for all the children in our setting greatly. As you are aware our setting holds no tolerance to bullying and we strive to ensure our positive behaviour policies are upheld and we follow a nurture-based approach to supporting children's behaviour and well-being. We were certainly sad to see your child leave in October, as the staff create such meaningful bonds with the children in their care. We wish you and your child well in your new setting.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for not meeting your expectations. After thorough investigation with the Nursery Manager, we've found that there haven't been any concerns raised during your time with the nursery until now.
At our nursery, we actively encourage all children to engage in various activities and learning opportunities provided in the room. It's important to note that we do not compel children to create anything for special occasions, nor do we push them to do so if it doesn't align with their interests.
Should you have any further questions or require additional clarification, we encourage you to reach out to the Nursery Manager. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to addressing any concerns.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.562) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Maidstone Turkey Mill Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.562 for Bright Horizons Maidstone Turkey Mill Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.562
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Maidstone Turkey Mill Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 23 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, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
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
I passed my BTEC level 3 diploma in Nursery nursing in 1995 and have worked in the early year's sector for 22 years. I also have a Level 3 in adult education, management, training and mentoring.
Where have I come from?
I was a Children’s Service Manager for Nuffield Health from 1998 to 2019, I managed the nursery, creche, afterschool clubs and holiday camps. I delivered training for the other 12 nurseries within the company and supported the opening of new nurseries within the business.

My Family and home life
I live with my husband, 2 boys and my 3rd child, Trigger the dog.
I was raised in Bromley, and when I had my children, I moved to the Maidstone.
What is my passion?
I have 2 passions; my main passion is my boys and their dedication to becoming the next professional footballer, I attend training and matches come rain or shine, and I even know the offside rule! My other passion is early years and providing every child with the best opportunities to build a foundation to achieve.
You never would have guessed but...
My Grandparents bought me a tortoise when I was 2 years old, Tabatha the tortoise is now 43 years old.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2014
I started my childcare career in 2014, joining Bright Horizons as part of the bank team. My journey has taken me through the completion of my Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification and provided the opportunity to work across all age groups broadening my theoretical and practical knowledge and experience.
I am passionate to provide the best care and quality of education for children. I enjoy watching each of them grow and develop and feel privileged to be able to share in their achievements.
In my own time, I like to read and I also run.
