The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.933 for Bright Horizons Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.933
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 4.949 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 15 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.8 = 0.949
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
Maria's journey in childcare began over 25 years ago, and for the past 15 years, she has been part of Bright Horizons, gradually growing into a leadership role.
Since the doors of Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool first opened more than a decade ago, it has been a place where she has dedicated herself to creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for children.
She is deeply passionate about her work and believes that every child should feel heard, valued, and supported. Alongside her team and through meaningful experiences, she strives to help children grow into confident and curious individuals.
Outside of work, she is a proud mother to two young boys, and most of her time is spent making memories with them. When she finds a moment for herself, she recharges through music and dance or by planning the next family adventure.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2012
Hi, I've been in working in the childcare sector since 2012 when I studied my level 2 in childcare. At the time I was volunteering in a school nursery which is where my passion for childcare grew. I then went on to do my level 3 as an apprentice at an independent nursery, which then led me to work at an after-school club where I worked with children aged 4-11.
I started with a company now known as Bright Horizons Southgate in 2015 where I spent 3 years as a nursery nurse and worked my way up to room leader in 2018. I then transferred to the Whetstone branch in March 2021 as a third in charge and enjoyed being in that role.
I am now Deputy Manager here at Bright Horizons Crouch End and really enjoying my role.
I really enjoy watching each child grow and develop during their time at Bright Horizons.
