My daughter attends this nursery four days a week. She joined in the baby room and settled in very quickly, the team were amazing at supporting the transition for both my daughter and us, as parents. She formed great bonds with the team and enjoys going to nursery. We get daily updates, photos and regular
development updates. My daughter is in her third room now and each transition has been managed amazingly, they really listen to the child and take their lead with when they want to spend time in the other rooms on the lead-up to the transitions.

So happy with Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool for helping build my daughter's confidence and help her make friends.
The staff are all so kind and patient with her. We have really noticed a difference.
She loves to be outside and one of the main reasons we chose this nursery
was because she can be outside whenever she likes and there was a great space to play.

The best decision I have made having my son join this nursery.
He started at 8 months old and from the moment he started he has been so happy and has thrived ever since.
The whole team are warm, welcoming and nurturing, he has really become a huge personality and I am so confident when I leave him
knowing he's going to have a great day.
As a parent, I cannot fault this nursery at all. It's safe, fun, clean and most of all incredibly inviting.
Thank you all so much.

Very positive experience so far, the nursery has been very responsive and they have got to know our child very well. We enjoy the regular updates, pictures and reports on how she is getting on. The app is updated regularly and I look at this regularly, especially when she was first settling in.

Bright Horizons in Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool have been brilliant since my child started a few months ago. They supported him transitioning from a previous nursery and he settled so well into his room. The staff are helpful, kind and caring and give great feedback about my child's day.
They organise lovely, stimulating activities for the children to take part in as well as having an exciting and engaging learning environment for independent play.
My child is so happy to come to nursery every week and has made many new friends. His language skills have improved dramatically since starting and the staff work hard to help him progress in all areas of his learning and social development.

Love Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool. When your first baby goes to nursery and you return to work, it's such a daunting time but the team at Bright Horizons Church Crookham made it as easy as possible. It takes a huge weight off your mind when you can leave your child with
people who you can trust and I know he has a great time with the ladies.

Outstanding nursery. The carers are very hard-working and authentic. They really do care about the children and give them an amazing experience. They offered many great settling-in sessions to ensure our child settled in well. There is a diverse range of food provided too. Very personable.

From the moment I set foot within the nursery to take the tour, I knew it would be the one for my little boy. I felt so comfortable and safe leaving him when I went back to work, all the staff are lovely, kind, fun and care for the kids like their own. They only want the best for you, and your child
and I can't recommend it enough.

My son struggles due to developmental delays, this nursery has supported us through it all. They have helped in every way they can to set up his education, health and care plan and set up any type of funding that can help. Anytime the staff have changed, the consistency with the help and guidance has
stayed the same and not affected any of our help. They all work together to support the child and parents so amazingly. I would a hundred percent recommend this nursery and especially this branch to any parent! My son is so happy and loved here and he always enjoys his time at this nursery. I honestly cannot express enough how much of an amazing nursery it is!

Our daughter has settled in very quickly with the team. She has grown close to her key workers who are responsive, affectionate and compassionate with her. They have nurtured and supported her development well and we are happy knowing she feels safe and well looked after with staff who clearly love
their job and appear well supported by senior leadership staff.
We appreciate the daily updates and love the photos we receive showing us the wide variety of activities she gets up to on a day-to-day basis.
Communication is great with the team and we always feel well-informed and able to raise queries and concerns (not that we have needed to) if required.
Our daughter always returns home happy and talking about her day and is settled at home afterwards which gives us peace of mind.

The new management team have made vast improvements to the nursery. Their standards are high and since coming to the nursery, the environment and provision for the children have improved significantly.
Their communication with parents is brilliant-whether this be by email or by informing us about my
daughter’s day through the app.
The daily updates are very much appreciated and enjoyed by us. We love looking back at the photos with my daughter each evening when talking about her day.
Thank you!

My son attends the nursery 2 days a week and absolutely loves it. The staff took time and care to settle him in, get to know him and regularly share updates on activities he's taken part in and steps in his learning. The free-flow style of the nursery is lovely allowing for lots of time in the garden
and mixing with older and younger children. The meals offered are excellent and varied and he always comes home full of news of the things he's done. The costs are on the more expensive side but they do include everything and the setting reflects the costs as it's recently been redecorated and is clean, bright and airy. The only thing it lacks for me is a forest school element but as my son only attends for two days it is less of a concern.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough. From the very beginning the staff have been wonderful with my son, they are welcoming and friendly and are always on hand to answer any questions and offer support. My son has come on leaps and bounds since he joined Bright Horizons and every day he’s
obviously learning something new. He loves the food that’s made for him and it has really helped us with his eating.
Thank you for all you do for us as a family Bright Horizons Church Crookham team.

Since the new management has begun, there have been vast improvements. The communication has improved and the changes with allowing parents into the room has had a really positive impact. I still think there is room for improvement, especially for the price increase, with regards to the outdoor provision
but on a whole our daughter is very happy and settled here.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.827 for Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.827

  • 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 Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 31 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4, which has been reached with 31 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

Hello, I am Chloe, the Nursery Manager.


I grew up in the local area and started my management career at this nursery back in 2013. After being promoted from a room leader, to then the Deputy Manager and the Acting Manager, I wanted to advance my career, so I left Bright Horizons to work for a nursery attached to a school.


This is where I have gained lots of skills and experience, being a team leader and striving for positive change, which resulted in the providers offering outstanding care and education.


Working with children is all I know and after graduating with a degree in Early Years and Education, I knew I was ready for a lifetime career in the sector. Watching children grow during their most fundamental years is the most rewarding job.


Myself and my two children are extremely excited to join the Church Crookham family and can't wait to welcome you at our nursery.


Gracie

Gracie

Job Title: Deputy Manager

After a career change, I went back to university and achieved my PGCE in Primary Education in 2014. I then taught in the Early Years for nearly 10 years.


In May 2023, I decided to step sideways into the day nursery setting, a new challenge with lots for me to learn and an opportunity for me to share my teaching experience. I love working with children and what I love about Bright Horizons is the family feel and care we have for the children and families.


I started with Church Crookham as the Third in Charge and loved being part of a team that worked hard to ensure all the children were loved, had fun and excelled in their learning. In October 2023 I was promoted to Deputy Manager and I am excited to continue to work with the team to grow stronger and to continue to learn from each other.


Having my twin girls come to the nursery is an added bonus and they too get to experience the wonderful day-to-day activities and learn from a truly special team. I feel very lucky.
