My son loves going to Bright Horizons Sale. The approach to the children's care and welfare is really collaborative and parents and staff can talk to each other easily. The app is great so you can communicate with both the managers and the staff who work in the child’s room.
The staff always have
lots of fun activities for the children and my sons learning comes on so well with the staff’s hard work. And there is definitely a feeling that all the staff genuinely really like all of the children and the managers seem to know the name of each and every child!
They were (and are) great during Covid, clearly communicating with parents as things would change and develop, and keeping all the children well and happy.
A really lovely nursery!

My daughter has been attending Sale Bright Horizons for over two years now. She really enjoys her days at nursery, she comes home and talks with such enthusiasm about all the fun things she’s done all day. The nursery staff have been extra caring and attentive to my daughter who struggles to walk as
well as her peers, making sure that she is able to participate in activities that others may take for granted. I’m thankful for the guidance they give her so she can keep up with her peers. I am always recommending the nursery to people when they enquire about nursery places for their own children. She’s always been well looked after whether it be the baby, toddler or preschool room. The staff are really approachable and friendly and you know they will look after your child.

My little Girl recently joined Bright Horizons and she absolutely loves it! All the staff are friendly and caring and they have clearly built a good relationship with my daughter. I feel comfortable dropping her off and always feel as if she’s in a safe place and in good hands. My daughter's vocabulary
and motor skills have developed fabulously since joining the nursery which is wonderful to see. I would be happy to recommend Bright Horizons to anyone who’s looking for a nursery.

We moved from another nursery and despite we couldn't visit the nursery itself and speak to the staff directly due to covid, we felt it was the right setting for our daughter.
We're very proud of what they are doing in terms of play and the things they learn.
Our daughter is always coming back home
happy and shares with us what they do and she is improving day by day.
We can tell there's a structure behind her knowledge and she is very much ready to start school, also thanks to the daily commitment of the staff.
The only thing we missed was having an app to watch videos and pictures taken daily, but it seems it'll be implemented soon!
I would definitely recommend this nursery!

The nursery staff are kind, friendly and really great at what they do. Most importantly, my daughter loves her days at nursery and actually runs to get her coat when I mention the word 'nursery'. The activities are varied, the food variety is good, and they communicate regularly and clearly to you about
the care of your child. Big thumbs up from us!

We are so pleased with the progress that our son has made in the 6 weeks since starting nursery. We really value the honesty of the staff in letting us know his progress and explaining how settled he is. They have been extremely supportive in helping us manage his dairy requirements, which have been
a bit of a roller-coaster! I love peaking through the window when picking him up to see how much he's enjoying it and how caring the staff are with him. The most important thing to us is that he is shown love and care at nursery, and we couldn't ask for any more from his key worker and all employees in the baby room. A big thank you!

This nursery was recommended to me by my new neighbour as we were new to the area. My daughter started Bright Horizons (sale) in October this year, and I cannot believe how much she has developed, including her speech.
She is so happy here, and I was a bit apprehensive about moving her to a new nursery,
but we had to due to a house move, and it was the best thing we ever did.
The variety of activities they do for the children is fantastic, and my little girl is constantly learning through play. The staff who look after her are absolutely fantastic, and my daughter feels so comfortable with them, and I find all the staff are very approachable.
Also to mention the food she has at nursery is brilliant, very nutritional, plenty of fruit and veg, so a big thank you to the chefs too. I love the information sheet that she comes home with to say what she has done throughout the day and the things she has been learning that day.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking!

The staff are extremely engaged and excellent child care and progressing development is clearly the highest priority. Quality of meals is high. Lots of activities for the children each day. Excellent communication between the nursery and parents. I would recommend it to others. Our child has progressed
from baby room to toddlers and will stay here for pre-school.

My children have been going to Bright Horizons Sale for the last 5 years. It appealed to us because of the purpose-built nature and the spaciousness inside. The key workers have always been attentive and supportive and have always helped the children transition through the nursery. Just the simplest
thing, a cuddle, has proved a powerful tool in helping them feel safe and secure. All the way to pre-school. I am so grateful to the nursery for looking after the children so well and we will miss all the staff!

I cannot recommend Sale Bright Horizons highly enough. Our son is flourishing in the Toddler 1 class and is learning so much thanks to the supportive staff and the fun, well-structured play environment. Each month, the class leader nominates a story (eg, Going on a Bear Hunt) and many activities relate
to this. I love it! The manager is friendly and approachable and ensures the highest standards.


We transferred from another nursery (where our son was very happy) after moving house. We’re really pleased with how quickly our son settled and feel that Sale offers us better value for money.

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons for the last 10 months and has loved every minute. She started at 13 months old in the baby room where everyone was absolutely amazing at settling her in, and she loved her key person. She is now in the toddler room and enjoys every single day. All the staff are
fantastic, warm and friendly. I once had a call to say that she had been sick at nursery and went I arrived to pick her up, a staff member was sitting in a corner cuddling her while she slept on their knee - they all care so much about the children. My daughter runs into nursery every morning excited to be there, and I couldn't be happier with it.

The staff at this nursery are WONDERFUL. My daughter has been loving her time there and they all genuinely love and care for the children. If she's ever a bit unsettled I always see on her sheet that she's been having lots of cuddles. This means a lot to me as I know that if she's upset the girls
will spend some time with her giving her hugs and making her feel secure, it's hard to leave her and go to work but it's so much easier knowing that she's so well cared for. I've also been impressed with the number of pictures the staff send. We'll often get a surprise in her bag of a few pictures from the last couple of weeks which is lovely to see her happy and smiling. She also comes home most weeks with pictures she has made and biscuits etc, which shows the variety of things they do with the children to keep them engaged (even at 11 months old!). She is also eating a huge variety of different types of food which I'm really pleased with - I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.511)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.511) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.955 for Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 4.556 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.556

  • 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.
