My little boy loves going to Bright Horizons in Sale. The staff are very friendly, helpful and reassuring. He's gaining so much confidence and I feel that he's exposed to such variety at the nursery.

I found parting from my daughter after nearly a year at home together really difficult and I’m not sure I’d have been able to do that if I hadn’t have appreciated she was in such capable hands. My daughter adores her key worker and their bond has made the transition so much easier. My daughter loves
going to nursery and no wonder with all the fun things they get up to in a day and yummy food. Such a friendly and professional place. Thank you.

I was really nervous to put my 10-month-old little boy in a nursery. I have to say the full team at Bright Horizons Sale have been amazing!! Spending time with both myself and my son to ensure we had the best start. My son is not great with food and already we have seen a huge improvement. The team
are friendly, professional and extremely supportive so happy we came here.

Since starting at Bright Horizons in Sale in July of this year, I have seen a massive change in my little boy who is just over 12 months old. He was a little clingy and what most would say a mummy's boy, but he and I completely clicked with the girls at the nursery. Within a week, he was holding out
his arms for the girls to take him off me and I would even say he is better behaved for them, than me and his father at home. Some may say that these big nurseries have only an interest in money, but I totally disagree with Bright Horizons. They are 100% personal and know who my little boy is whether they work in his room or not. Yes, we may have been able to find childcare cheaper but I'm happy to pay knowing he is looked after, loved and cared for like one of their own. I provide nothing and that was the biggest appeal to me. I take a bag with spare clothes in and that is literally it. For a teacher/mum working full time, this was ideal for me. Thank you Bright Horizons, Sale.

I can’t recommend this nursery and it’s staff highly enough. We recently had another baby and everyone at Sale Day Nursery has been so supportive of my two-year-old that he has sailed through this tricky time. I know in his group/class they have been playing with dolls, washing and nurturing them and
there are always cuddles on offer should he be having one of those days.
When the baby arrived, the whole class, as well as the previous class he was in up until a January, made cards galore to celebrate not only the birth but also my son becoming a big brother. We were extremely touched.
My son often comes home with works of art or even yummy treats they have all made in class and he is almost always grinning from ear to ear when we go to collect him at the end of the day.
You don’t feel like a number on the roll sheet at this nursery, instead, the service is very personal and all the staff are very friendly.

My son is in Sale Bright Horizon's nursery, and we are delighted with his progress especially after his parent's evening last night. He is in Toddler 1, and since being in the room has come on leaps and bounds. His vocabulary amazes us every day and we are now moving in to potty training, and his
key worker and the team are supporting us. He is so excited to go to nursery and talks about his friends on the way there, in between singing the 'Wheels on the bus'!!.
Thank you for your continued support a for making nursery such a positive experience for us all.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery here and we have seen a big change for the better in her development - her learning and grasp of numbers and letters is coming along wonderfully and she is picking up bits and pieces of other languages (for example singing 'Buenos Dias' at home after learning
it at nursery.) She has started eating a better variety of foods at home as a result of trying new things at nursery and has a lot more friends he can socialise with outside of nursery as well (for example at birthday parties.)
The staff are always very helpful and friendly and genuinely take an interest in the children. Our daughter frequently talks about all of the staff in the pre-school room and relates little details about them to us. She has asked several times if we can invite them to our house for dinner as she doesn't want to say goodbye at the end of the day!

My two year old started at the start of 2018 from being at another nursery. Bright Horizons is a fantastic nursery.
My son goes one day a week on a Thursday and I have to say I am very happy and very pleased how settled he is and how much he enjoys going. The staff are amazing, so caring and treat
them as their own. Very good 1-1 which helps him and he has learned new skills. I wish I moved him earlier into this nursery.
It is truly amazing.

They are so thorough with what she has been up to and any concerns are always raised to me. My daughter cries when I pick her up. I think she wants to stay! Excellent nursery. I'm very impressed

The standard of care that we get from Bright Horizons is fantastic! The team always welcome us with a smile and really do care and look after our son.
When picking up our son from the nursery the team give us plenty of information about what has happened in that day - including what he has eaten,
how long he has slept for, how many nappies he has gone through etc.
We recently attended a parents evening whereby we were shown a log book which had plenty of information about his time with the nursery so far, including pictures, memorable moments, development/progress.
We know that we leave our son in safe hands which really does make us feel comfortable when going to work.

I cannot fault the staff at Bright Horizons. They all are very friendly and helpful and obviously really care about the children.
I was worried at first when my daughter first went to nursery (protective parent syndrome) but as soon as I noticed how the staff interacted with her and all of the children
it was like dropping my child off with a family member.
The nursery also goes the extra mile to include parents/grandparents in activities such as stay and play or special evening events for holidays (Halloween was my daughters favourite). Also, they are constantly having visitors who will do special activities with the children such as music teachers, painters and one I'm looking forward to for Easter is the chocolatier who is going to help the children make their own Easter eggs.
If you are looking to put your child into nursery this is by far the best one I have found and cannot recommend it enough.

My son has been in full-time care at Bright Horizons Sale since he was six months old, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience.
He has built strong relationships with his key workers and it's been delightful to witness the things they have taught him. He has really come on in leaps
and bounds since starting, both physically and socially.
The team themselves are highly engaged and bring visible enthusiasm and love to their work - god knows where they get the energy! We have made a special bond with his primary key worker, and I trust her implicitly. The manager of the nursery deserves a special mention. She seems to have a warm relationship with the team but is very knowledgeable and professional too, and her personal commitment to the role really comes across. There's a lot of thought and care that goes into all the planning.
Every day there are different structured activities and a varied menu of foods - all of which he loves.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Our daughter started here at the beginning of December 2017 and how quickly she’s settled into nursery life is a credit to the manageress and the team.


As any parent would be, we were nervous about leaving our child in the care of someone else, but we needn’t have been, as we were instantly put at

ease and made to feel extremely welcome.


Everyone is really lovely and professional and I love that when my husband dropped her off in her second week, everyone knew her name, even members of staff from other rooms.


We’re now in our 4th week and we’re so pleased we made the choice to come here.

The nursery has a lovely atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. The management team are always happy and welcoming and make it easier for my daughter to come into nursery with their happy, smiling faces. My daughter goes straight to her key person for a cuddle before breakfast.


The children's

learning stories are always accessible for the parents to look through and you can arrange a working in partnership with your key person at any time to discuss your child's development. She never wants to come home which makes me feel happy as a working parent to know I have put my child in a nursery where they safeguard her and ensure she has a fun and enjoyable day at nursery.


Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team they will always make cards for family members birthdays, invite grandparents and parents into the nursery to enjoy fun activities with the children. The nursery is graded outstanding from Ofsted and you can see why from the moment you walk into the nursery!

The staff at the nursery are excellent, they provide a high standard of care for my child. The staff are friendly, professional and always meet our needs as a family.


The management team are very approachable and caring and work extremely hard to meet the needs of every family.


The nursery has

PNA meetings quarterly where the parents can sit down and discuss nursery topics and events, I have found this a great way to get to know the families. I recently attended a Halloween event at the nursery called "The Ugly Bug Ball" with my daughter, you could tell how much hard work the team put in for the children and parents to have an enjoyable time together.


I would recommend this nursery to all families, the service we have received is outstanding!!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for almost a year now and she loves it!! Every morning as we pull into the car park she gets excited clapping her hands and cheering.


The staff are fantastic with my daughter and always go that extra mile with her care, her learning journey is amazing and

is a true reflection on my daughter with great observations and photographs it’s great to look at and see where she is up to in her development.


The manager of the nursery is always warm and friendly and will always greet us with a friendly hello and a quick chat showing lots of interest in both myself and my daughter's lives.


The manager noticed how on arrival my daughter would always reach out for the pens on the desk as she likes to draw with them so therefore she produced a notepad and pen which is now left out at the children’s height in reception so my daughter can have a quick scribble on the way in which she loves as she now feels very important.

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.
