My daughter has been in the nursery for just over a year now and she loves it. She is involved in lots of activities and has a good structure for her day. The food and nutrition in the nursery is also really good. The staff have been really supportive in developing her speech and working with me on
a support plan for her.

All the staff at church Crookham day nursery that I have dealt with have been amazing. My baby started in April 2016 and is especially clingy, all the staff in the baby room, all helped myself and my son through the transition. Couldn't recommend a better nursery. Thank you x

My daughter started at the nursery in July 2016. My daughter has swallow difficulties and the nursery staff have been fantastic at understanding her difficulties and supporting her as much as they possibly can. The nursery nurses have been absolutely fantastic and a real pleasure to talk to.

My daughter has been at the nursery for nearly a year and a half and took a while to settle but the staff always took the trouble to phone me to say she had settled and as she moved up to her new room the staff always make the transition very smooth. The staff are very caring and have very high standards
and this is seen at all levels from management to the nursery staff. Can't fault them at all. We are very happy with the nursery and have just signed up our other daughter to start next September.

The team here are excellent; they have a passion for looking after all of their children in their care and cannot be faulted. There is a culture of open communication between nursery staff and parents, and they are happy to listen and action where necessary.
Children can always be picky about their
food but I have found that the menus are well received even for food that will not be eaten at home (and my child is not fussy but has been a typical toddler!)
The free-flow environment from inside to outside certainly makes this place special, allowing the children to use their own inclination where they wish.
Inside all the rooms are equipped with the latest education toys, role play, arts and crafts etc, with every day them doing something different.
For the older children where necessary, they are stretched being encouraged to extend themselves whilst nurturing that inquisitive learning mentality that all children have.

Such a friendly and happy nursery, the purpose built building makes such a difference to the environment and my daughter loves being able to have so much fun outside as well as inside. I've been really happy with the move into the pre-school room and have see my confident daughter thrive as she develops,
learns and makes friends, with the help of the brilliant staff.

The facilities at church Crookham are great for allowing my son to run around and play and learn in a safe and fun environment. I have been especially happy in the last month as the staff have been extremely helpful and supportive as my son has moved into the graduators room in the pre-school at a time
when he has also had to deal with the arrival of a little sister at home. During this time of change, he has remained happy and engaged thanks to the attentive staff, who have also continued to help support him as he continues to potty train. Really pleased with the time my son has spent at church Crookham and have already booked a place for my daughter for next year.

We love this Nursery for our twin boys. All the staff are lovely and caring and really pay attention to our children. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
There's always something new to learn and the boys are always happy. We always get a thorough report on what they did in the day and
how much they ate.

The team at Bright Horizons Church Crookham are just fantastic and I can't recommend the nursery enough. Our entire experience, from visiting and receiving a tour before our son joined, through to the ongoing care our son receives today, has been simply brilliant. The facilities are stimulating, engaging
and spotless - the staff are incredibly friendly, caring and helpful. I am always astounded by their care and love for the children's development and how they think of the little things that really make a difference to both parents and their precious ones. My son's development has come on in leaps and bounds since he's been at Bright Horizons and we are truly lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery. I can't recommend them enough and having seen and experienced nurseries before, Bright Horizons Church Crookham is miles ahead and a true benchmark for other nurseries to follow.

From visiting a number of nurseries I instantly know when walking into Kid Unlimited that this was the place for my 9 month boy. A friend with a 3 year old had also highly recommended it. The management team are so friendly and professional and the child care and development is well structured. They
are supportive and very flexible to your individual child's needs. They give me lots of updates and pics knowing it is difficult to leave your pride and joy with someone else. I also love that it is all inclusive giving such ease. The standard of food is also fantastic. I'm very fussy about the correct nutrition for my baby. Keeping my baby here has also influenced our house moving plans. They are fantastic.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.833 for Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (327 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 32 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 32 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.
