Our son started here two months ago at the age of eleven months. All of the team from management to carers have been absolutely wonderful. Our son loves his key person and the other nursery assistants. Everyone seems to know him and welcome him every morning. I never feel any worry when I drop him off
in the morning and know that he will have a fun day and will be well looked after. They also have been helping him to develop skills that I work with him on at home. I have nothing negative I could say about this nursery.

Great nursery. Staff are very friendly and attentive to my child.
The baby room is interactive and encouraging for playing and learning.
I would like to see more outdoor activities e.g. trips out.

Delighted we have chosen this nursery for our son. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring and I feel very comfortable leaving my baby boy with them. The outdoor area is fantastic, just what we are looking for as an active family, also the rooms are bright, stimulating and well-resourced
with lovely displays featuring my son's artwork. The fees are all inclusive too which is great for getting out of the house quicker in the morning! Can't recommend enough!

We joined the nursery last year and have been so happy with the care and professionalism of the team at Sale. Working with children myself, I wanted to ensure the nursery was committed to early years development as well as creating a fun and enjoyable space. The team here go above and beyond to achieve
this and my daughter loves coming every day. The warmth of the team is truly wonderful and with number 2 on the way, I'm so pleased I found a nursery that is a great fit for us.

A couple of years ago this nursery was in bad shape and I came very close to removing my child. Thanks to a change in management and some excellent appointments it has gone from strength to strength. I'm particularly impressed with the quality of care from the team in babies/cruisers where the staff
seem to genuinely love their jobs and the children they look after. They go out of their way to reassure parents and provide a stimulating environment for babies. I think preschool could improve communication with parents. They need to shout about the good work they're doing!

My daughter has attended Bright Horizons Sale since she was months old. All the rooms have been incredible for her development. She has found each room supportive and they have developed her individuality. They work well with parents and are flexible to support working parents. Also the extra events
the nursery have run have been superb.

Choosing a nursery is tough! Who is ever good enough to look after your most precious possession?! I viewed several nurseries in Sale and eventually settled on Bright Horizons, a large purpose built building, light, clean and airy and most importantly amazing staff. My son has settled into the baby
room really well, he eats well (takes more from the girls than he does with me!) and has good naps which tells me he's happy. I receive lots of pictures to show me what he's doing and I know he'll continue to flourish there. Highly recommended!

We chose this nursery because of the facilities on offer, the friendliness of the staff, it's location, the activities organised for the children and the general feel of the place when we went to visit. We did have other options for childcare through family but we wanted our son to attend a nursery
to aid his development and to socialise. We are extremely happy with our son's development. He was extremely shy at first and the staff were brilliant in supporting him and integrating him into the nursery. The staff are very friendly and are all clearly dedicated to the development of the children in their care. The facilities are always spotless and the amount of equipment and outdoor activities are extensive. There is also a wide-ranging healthy menu and meals are cooked on site. On the few occasions when our son has been a little under the weather, the staff were excellent in keeping us informed as to his wellbeing. I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to others.

My daughter has been enjoying her time at this nursery since September, despite her ability to speak English. All of the staff have been extremely helpful to us, especially by providing us with daily notes on how our daughter has spent her time at the nursery, which has provided my wife and myself a
lot of comfort. I understand it takes a lot of patience to cope with people coming from abroad and we appreciate very much, all the support which have been provided to my daughter and our family.

Our son has been here since he was one and loves it. The staff are lovely and they are very considerate of the needs of the children. For example, they knew that our son formed very close attachments to his key workers, so left him in a class a bit longer than normal to improve the transition for him.
The
facilities are very good and modern and the management have kept working on improving and updating the spaces over the last three years.

Our son has attended since just after his 3rd birthday and has been through Babies and Toddlers and is now in the pre-school. He is happy, learning key skills and communicates well with peers and our contacts outside the nursery. The staff work collaboratively with you to maximise your child's potential
and provide support with practical aspects of parenthood e.g. toilet training. This is a great nursery/ pre-school and I'd happily recommend it.

I am very happy with this nursery, in particular, the care that our son is shown by his key worker and room manager, both of whom are lovely. Communication is excellent and I feel confident that any signs of illness are picked up quickly. The facilities are clean and modern. The management staff are
also very approachable and give me confidence. Overall I am very happy and would recommend this nursery. My toddler is in the cruisers room.

From the first day our son started at this nursery, he has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. The staff are genuinely welcoming, and when he wants to give them a hug at the start and end of the day, it shows just how much he likes them. Being a modern building it has all the necessary facilities, and
the outside "garden" area means he gets plenty of fresh air and can get "messy" rather than being inside all the time. Please keep up the great work.

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.
