My little girl has the best time at the nursery and has developed into such an amazing little girl. The developmental support and assistance we get from the nursery is great and they have helped us through all the little bumps in her developmental journey. I have joked with the nursery that when we
go to birthday parties in the local area we can tell which children are from Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool due to their kids and caring nature. She loves going into nursery and telling us what she has been doing with such big smiles on her face.
All the staff at the nursery have been amazing and we have always felt like Bright Horizons is the best place for her, they have always supported our wishes and gone out of their way for her and we have never had any complaints about her care. We have recommended all our friends to Bright Horizons and they are all also so happy with it.

This is an excellent nursery. My son attended here from age 3 onwards in preschool 1 and loved it. I have now sent my 2-year-old daughter here who is in nursery. She has settled in so well and loves the staff in her room. It is a great feeling knowing that your child is happy and well looked after and
staff really do go above and beyond. It is great getting the updates on her day in the app and the feedback from staff on pick-up. It is such a caring place and I would highly recommend it.

Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool is exceptional. The support of the team, communication throughout the day via their app and at drop-off and collection is second to none. The quality of the food and the care taken to keep me informed is excellent in regard to my daughters’ eating habits
and their progress alongside the other children to learn fundamental skills which empower them to help themselves and enjoy meals. I love the flexibility of drop-off times and collection and attitude towards parents is so understanding and caring.

My son has been attending this nursery since the age of 10 months, so we have experience of baby room, toddler room, nursery and preschool. I must say, this nursery has been excellent and preschool has been the most outstanding of all classes along with baby room. We also feel secure, sure and my son
has made good relationships with carers and friends and has good social progress. We are very pleased. Food is also generally very good and wish I knew what magic they weave to get my son to eat the variety he does in nursery!

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 1 and has flourished there. She’s now in her final year and loves it. The staff are very focused on her personal development and she has made huge progress with her confidence, numbers and phonics in a very
short space of time. Communication from the room leaders is very good and they always make time for discussion. Would be nice if the nursery could do a few local trips as you often see other nurseries in the area doing these. Overall, a lovely nursery that I would recommend to others.
Only negative comment is that the front gate is often broken/stuck open.

I would most happily recommend this nursery to friends with children. The staff here are very friendly and ensure the children are well looked after which, as a parent, takes a lot of stress off your mind. They have helped my child settle into the nursery seamlessly and can see the positive impact it
has had in my child's development.

The baby room team at Bright Horizons Cheshunt has been great in helping our baby girl settle in the nursery over the last couple of months. We can see that she is now excited about going to nursery each morning and is very happy playing with all the staff and her baby friends there.
We know that our
girl still struggles to get enough naptime at nursery as she is still settling into the new environment but we can see that she is slowly getting better at it which is amazing. Helping her to sleep and rest longer during the day is important to us and we are very grateful for your support with it. Thanks to longer naps she's not too overtired and sleeps way better at night. Last week instead of getting up around 5 am she slept till almost 7 am!
Thank you Baby Room Team at Bright Horizons Cheshunt.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 11 months old and is now 3. He has therefore been in three different classrooms since joining. The nursery has always had great facilities and the staff have always been very caring. Our son is happy at the end of his day at nursery and has great stories
to tell about what he has learnt, played with and has eaten. We are particularly happy with the teachers in his current classroom who are always welcoming, happy and give informed feedback at the end of the day.

My experience with Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool began five years ago with my eldest son who absolutely loved the nursery and was more than ready for school by the time he left. My youngest is now in the toddler 2 room and enjoys the variety of activities they have every day and
has made great bonds with the staff and other children. The nursery teaches independence alongside a varied curriculum. After a slight decline, the nursery and its management have improved greatly over the past two years and I would recommend it to other families.

Our son has been going to this nursery for the last year and a half. His latest room is great, we love his key worker. She is very caring, attentive to the children’s needs while also ensuring that they get ready to move up into other classes in a fun way.
Activities vary from painting, drawing to
singing and dancing.
Our son is very independent and full of confidence for his age.
We would recommend Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool to fellow parents.

My son has been coming to Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 1. He’s now 4 and still loves going there. The transition when all of his friends left to go to reception this September was really scary for me as he really missed his friends but preschool staff were amazing
with keeping him engaged and happy, even with the new younger children joining the class. The staff in his class are really dope, not only supportive to my son but also me, as a single, working mother.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Cheshunt in Toddler 2 room since June 2023 and we couldn’t be happier. We had visited a few other nurseries but when we had the tour here it just felt right. All the staff take pride in their roles and provide the children with fun and educational activities
and my daughter always leaves happy and is excited to get to class in the morning! They are always so welcoming and you can see how happy the children are there. She has a fantastic key worker who takes the time to provide detailed feedback, and observations and we can really see how much she has progressed and developed. She is so well looked after and all the staff are an asset. The children are stimulated and they update parents throughout the day via the app which is brilliant, lots of pictures and what they have done throughout the day. They provide healthy and nutritious meals and the nursery is very clean. Highly recommend.

My daughter has been in Toddler 2 for the last six months and absolutely loves it. She asks to go to nursery every day and has a special bond with her key workers. The nursery really cares about the children and they regularly update you through their app.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1 and is now nearly 3, so currently in the Nursery room. She absolutely loves it there, they really have taught her so much and helped with her development massively. We get regular updates through the app with everything she has done in a day, including
pictures of the activities which is such a nice touch. All of the staff in her room are brilliant, particularly the room leader, who has such a tailored approach with her and she absolutely loves it. Would highly recommend this nursery.

I am really happy so far with my babies experience of Bright Horizons so far. The staff in the baby room are really friendly and have been really good at updating me as to her progress, particularly to reassure me when she has been unsettled at drop off. She loves the food too. I recommend this nursery

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Cheshunt 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.767 for Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.767

  • 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 Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 28 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 77 number of registered child places is 15.4, which has been reached with 28 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.
