Have been using this nursery for the last 3 years for my two kids. Have seen an improvement in the staff's attitude, despite numerous changes in management and resignations. My children are always happy to go. Compared to other Bright Horizons nurseries, I don't see many interesting activities for the
children. Not sure they are learning much. Other Bright Horizons nurseries show many activities on social media. I think there should be a policy asking parents not to give other children sweets as presents as they are unhealthy and a choking hazard.

Reply from katherine o'brien at Bright Horizons Wokingham Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery.
We are pleased that your children are happy to go to their nursery. With regards to the sweets, I have spoken to the Nursery Manager who will ensure that when other parents bring in sweets to give other children for birthdays or leaving for school celebrations that they are given to parents first and not the children.
They will also ensure activities are shared more with parents via the learning journeys and evidence books staff create.

My boys love coming to nursery each day and I'm very happy leaving them there.
I know it must be difficult but I'd like to hear more about how the staff are helping the children as individuals eg helping read where the child is interested.
Thank you.

It was a hard decision for me to get to back to work leaving my 1-year-old at the nursery. But, I have to say, Bright Horizons Wokingham has been an absolute dream. My daughter settled in completely within around a week of joining. She starts early, at 7.30 in the morning, and it’s a massive relief
for me to see her go to the staff without any tears or tantrum. She’s always smiling and happy when I go in to pick her up. The nursery is bright, airy and clean and the staff very friendly, warm and helpful. I have previously tried a few other nurseries for my older son, and I can clearly see the difference in the way this nursery is run. It’s quite organised and systematic but not mechanical as some nursery chains are. There is a positive vibe about this place that makes you feel your child is in safe hands. I just can’t recommend this nursery enough.

When our son is at this nursery we are sure that he is always looked after, he is safe and he personally receives attention.
We can always get appropriate feedback on each day and on overall development of our son.
Very high standard of all activities and everyday child routine.
Our son is bilingual
and we are grateful to the team for his level of English.
We would like to separately mention that the food for children is very high standard and very tasty (usually our son is very picky with food and most of the times he loves all the food).
All personnel are very well trained on specifics of each age.

We are very happy with Bright Horizons, Wokingham.
My eldest son (who is now in Year 1 at school) attended for 4 fours and he thrived here. Now my 18 month old son attends and has been since he was 11 months old. He’s so happy and I would not dream of sending him anywhere else.


The staff are very

attentive, friendly and caring, I know he is in safe hands at every drop-off. It’s such a good feeling knowing that he looks forward to going to nursery and that he will be well looked after here.


The communication, daily updates and the child’s reports are very informative and keeps me up to date on his progress and what he has been up to.


He gets to play inside and outside, explores different environments and activities like water play, sand play, playing in the garden, drawing, books, toys, music/songs/dancing and this last week he participated in Jo Jingles (which my older son loved to do!). I am so pleased we chose this nursery!

We've loved being part of this nursery for the past four years. It's been a brilliant environment for our eldest (now a preschool graduate) and our youngest is thoroughly enjoying his experience there too. The preschool room has been fantastic in helping prepare for the transition into big school, and
couldn't recommend it enough. The staff are great, I know that my kids are in safe hands.

We LOVE the nursery! My son has thrived in the few months he has been there.

The communication is excellent, not only with my son's day to day activities but with anything else going on as well.
I am so pleased

We currently use the nursery for my daughter who is two years old. She has attended for the last year and we wouldn't dream of having her anywhere else. The environment is a loving and caring one where the staff show genuine interest in our daughter's development. It is a good nursery with fantastic
staff which has seen our daughter develop into a fun loving and confident girl. Thank you.

I have a son at the nursery and my daughter previously attended from 9 months old until she left for school in September. Both my children have thoroughly enjoyed attending nursery, my son still. They happily go in every morning, have a great relationship with the staff and love learning through play.
The staff are enthusiastic; caring and I find share similar values to those we do. The support and guidance the nursery offer is great.
I also love the feeling of self-worth they have helped give my children. My daughter's first report from school was that she was ahead of the game - a report that the nurseries support and teaching has helped her achieve.

My daughter attends the nursery one day a week and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. She loves her nursery friends and all of the staff there. The staff are always lovely and quite clearly have the children's best interests at heart. Would highly recommend!

My son only goes 2 days a week, but all staff have gone out of their way to help settle him in and adapt to his needs, as he needs a little more help with certain things due to being severely premature and being behind other toddlers his age. They are friendly and welcoming and after being very anxious
about leaving him, I feel he is safe and well cared for on the days that he is there.

My Daughter is new to the nursery and has been very settled since day one, she has made some lovely bonds with the staff team who cater for all of her needs. On arrival, they are waiting for her and have breakfast ready which is lovely considering we travel half an hour to get to the nursery every
morning.
They are very informative about what my daughter has been doing throughout the day and is very happy when I collect.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.683)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.683) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Wokingham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.719 for Bright Horizons Wokingham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.719

  • 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 4.964 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Wokingham 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.964

  • 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.
