We LOVE this nursery and are so happy we found it when looking for somewhere suitable for our children. The set up is brilliant, the staff are friendly and the light and airy feel to the rooms is perfect. The free-flow access to the outside space was also such an important thing to us when making our
final choice. The rooms are clean, the communications to parents are clear, and both my children have thrived here. It's brilliant in all areas.


We always recommend this nursery to friends and contacts looking for childcare.

The staff have been absolutely lovely throughout the settling in and first sessions for my daughter. They have been very focused on ensuring my daughter is comfortable and given excellent attention to boosting her confidence - I can already see improvements in her ability to interact with others.

My son recently moved up a class and I was worried that he might take time to adjust and find it tough. I have to say the team managed the transition brilliantly. He spent time at various times and various days in his new class in the run-up to the move date and this allowed him to get his bearings
and meet all his classmates. The handover between the rooms was good and my son was made welcome and settled in straight away. He now does his own registration clocking in and out with his own photograph.
I am very happy knowing that my son is in a safe, fun and educational environment that he loves.
I must also say that the nursery do listen and act on feedback- in my last review I questioned why the menus and what my son had eaten during the day were not on hid day sheet when he moved up a class previously. The very next day after my review they were there and are replicated in every class. Well done Church Crookham.

Our two boys have very different personalities; the eldest (now in year 1 at school) is shy and sensitive and the younger one, currently attending the nursery twice a week, is very much more outgoing and wants to 'get stuck in'. Both boys needs have been perfectly understood by the wonderful staff and
they have been nurtured and encouraged through their Bright Horizons journeys. Thoroughly recommended.

Our daughter loves going to this nursery and has developed and thrived here, with attentive staff who have spent time to get to know her as an individual and are really positive in their approach. She is naturally quite shy and so we wondered how she would fit into a big nursery environment, but she
liked it straight away and looks forward to her nursery days. Her sister also went to the nursery and loved it too; she enjoys coming back to pick up her sister and say hi to all the staff who remember her. We have been really impressed with the quality of care.

My daughter has been in her nursery for 3 and half years and I absolutely love it there and so does my daughter. The staff are lovely and friendly and always make my daughter feel loved (as she does hate being away from me) my daughter learns so much in the 2 days she attends and always comes home with
great stories from her day.


The staff are very helpful and give me regular updates on my daughters progress, overall I would recommend this nursery to anybody.

I feel completely at ease dropping my child into the nursery, I know the level of care he receives is excellent and that he will be very happy, the staff are extremely friendly and really seem to enjoy working with children which is so lovely to see. My little girl left last year to go to school and
she still often says she misses being at nursery and wishes she could go back.

We moved my daughter to Church Crookham Bright Horizons after her previous nursery received a dreadful Ofsted inspection. We were concerned about the upheaval, but I can honestly say it was the best thing we could have done!
My daughter went straight into the Graduators room and settled immediately.
The staff in there are all fantastic and so enthusiastic. She made fantastic progress and her time in Graduators totally prepared her for starting school.
My youngest daughter has now started in Discoveries and she absolutely loves it. Even though she only goes one day a week she settled in very quickly.
I would thoroughly recommend Church Crookham Day Nursery. I have total peace of mind dropping my daughter off in the morning knowing that she is in a safe, fun, engaging environment.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was just 3 months old, she is now nearly 3 years old. The care she receives is just amazing, every single member of staff is diligent, caring and truly dedicated. Never had any issues at all and would recommend to anyone and everyone to send your child/children
here.

I'm more than happy with the service and support Bright Horizons provide my little girl. Now 2, she is very much at home and looks forward to her nursery days.


I can't fault the staff, they are consistent and reliable which is key for any child's development. I've watched how the staff interact with

my child and others and it is clear they tailor their approach to meet individual needs. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn't be happier with her progress. I've never had any problems with my little one, she is always full of smiles and chatter.


All staff have been approachable from day one. It's a tough job and we are truly grateful for the care and support we have and continue to receive. Thank you.

We have been so happy with the nursery from when our son started almost a year ago.


I feel that his development is always being looked at and the varied activities really do support this.


The overview at the end of the day and development meetings with his key worker are amazing and make me feel

part of his time at nursery.

When I pick up my Nephew from Church Crookham, I am always greeted with smiling faces and the management team are very warm and friendly. The staff in the room are very informative of my nephew's day and tell me exactly what he has been up to. This makes it easy for me to give all the details to his
parents when they get back from work.


When I arrive to pick him up, he is always happy and sometimes doesn't even want to come home! The nursery is colourful and fun and I know my nephew is always in safe hands. I would recommend Church Crookham nursery to anyone.

My son started the nursery earlier this year and everyone has been so patient and caring.
He took a while to adjust being separated from me but I felt confident that his key worker, plus all other staff were very able to look after him and settle him in for his session.
He loves going to nursery and
I am happy he has adjusted so well.

Brilliant nursery! My eldest child attended from when they opened, it was a no brainier for baby number 2. More of a family than daycare.
I just want to add, both my children have allergies, the babies very severe. I have so much reassurance as they are so hot on it!

Bright Horizons in Church Crookham is a fantastic nursery that I wholeheartedly recommend to any parent. The establishment leaves me confident in feeling that my child is safe when I leave them there. The fun and developmental attitude from the nursery staff means that my child is excited to attend
every week (despite initially being upset with separation from their parents). The social skills being exhibited from my child spending time here is outstanding and that alone would merit a recommendation, however, the dedication of the staff and the daily feedback give extra credit.


Sending your child to this nursery will lead to them developing in a positive way from a safe space. It is fun for the children and the dedication of the team there means that your children will be enthused to return, even if nervous or upset in the initial period.

We had visited a lot of nurseries before we made the decision to go with Bright Horizons Church Crookham. I hated the thought of leaving our child with others but I have to say, we were blown away by the service, thoughtfulness and loving caring nature of all the staff we met. We absolutely love the
staff, they are super friendly, caring, loving and great fun.


The girls are very hands on which for me is reassuring and I know my child is getting the guidance, encouragement and excitement he needs to gain the confidence to then start exploring independently. We feel comfortable to leave our child there.


Would highly recommend this nursery!

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons for almost a year now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are lovely, the premises is bright, well equipped and great for the kids to socialise. Best of all is her learning which has come on in leaps and bounds. I'd have no hesitation in recommending.

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.
