A HOMELY AND WELCOMING NURSERY IN THE HEART OF ENGLEFIELD GREEN

Englefield Green Day Nursery and Preschool has been purposefully designed with enriching environments and activities to support your child’s development from 3 months to 5 years. They ensure the transition from home to nursery, and then on to school, is a happy and fulfilling journey of learning.

The Nursery love encouraging your child to explore their interests and develop self-confidence as they learn. The spacious, age-appropriate rooms feature plenty of books, art supplies and paper for those creative moments, kitchen areas for role-play, and activities that inspire young minds to see maths in their environment. Daily activities range from painting to yoga, dancing, singing and exploring outdoors. They also have a special milk kitchen and a separate sleep room for under twos.

Every room in the Englefield Green nursery has direct access to the large garden and outdoor play area. These include areas of ‘No Grow’ flooring, safe for all ages and all weather types, ensuring children can explore the outdoors whatever the weather. Outdoor play is as good for the mind as it is for the body, and the practitioners encourage children to question their environment and discover new things. That could be looking for bugs, gathering natural materials for scientific study or observing how the changing seasons impact what is around us.

The nursery in Englefield Green is located on a quiet residential road within the grounds of Royal Holloway University. They provide all-inclusive care, including all nappies, wipes, baby formula and fresh, nutritionally balanced meals prepared by the dedicated on-site chef.

The long-standing team would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit today and they will show you all the nursery has to offer you and your family.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool since she was just over one and we couldn't be happier with her care. I was impressed from my first encounter with the nursery, they were efficient, yet warm and child centred. The extended settling in period was a
great experience, meaning my child settled in gently and without problem. My daughter is always happy to go to nursery and comes out smiling at the end of the day, strongly indicating to me that she is happy and secure in their care. The staff are fantastic, encouraging children's development from a warm and nurturing position. They also provide an array of activities to support learning. Would highly recommend.

Our baby boy has been in Bright Horizons Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool for nine months and we are absolutely happy with the nursery so far. We could see a visible difference between this Bright Horizons Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool and a different nursery that we used for our first
child. The staff are prompt and they provide you with a very good update about the events of the child's day. They are prompt in reporting any accidents such as when the children bumps into something. The facilities look clean but could not get a chance to go into because of the current climate. They were prompt in providing the updates during the current climate with regard to any suspected infections. The hours are longer and convenient as well. Above all, the child seems to be happy overall, so I am very happy to recommend it to anyone nearby.

The team at Bright Horizons Englefield Green are amazing. They've adapted to the COVID-19 rules and made the nursery feel very safe and inviting. They have been keeping us up to date with everything we need to know. They are very reassuring and make us feel comfortable leaving our daughter with them.

My daughter has attended Bright Horizons, Englefield Green since she was a year old (she is now 4) and my son has recently started there too. The staff are extremely welcoming and caring and both my children love going to nursery - my son frequently runs in without a backwards glance. I love the fact
that it isn't a big nursery so the children get a lot of attention from the staff. Once the nursery reopened after the first lockdown the staff were excellent, helping to reintegrate the children into nursery and putting parents' minds at rest, being both safe and pragmatic. Both the Manager and Deputy Manager are very approachable and hands-on and all the staff seem to enjoy working there. I was extremely impressed that both my daughter and son had long settling in periods which really helped them get used to the staff and the nursery environment.

We have had a great experience with this nursery. My daughter joined the nursery when she was 1 and settled in very quickly. She really looks forward to going to the nursery each day and has formed close bonds with both staff and the other children.
The staff are great and keep me up to date with
her day to day activities as well as her learning development.

After a very short settling period, my son has been very happy in this nursery, happy to go to school and excited in the morning to go to school.
I feel this nursery is a very caring and very safe school, it feels like a second home.
Thank

Could not be happier with our choice of nurseries. Englefield Green Nursery and preschool are very welcoming.
They make sure the children are always having fun and concentrate on each child individually to progress with their learning.
They have been excellent in the transition of rooms and our child
loves going to nursery.

We have been extremely happy with Englefield Green Nursery since our daughter started in December. The staff are amazing and our daughter really sees it as a home from home.
She has developed really well since starting. My only area for improvement would be to improve the outdoor space as it can get
quite waterlogged.

I am very happy with the level of care and attention both my children receive at Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool. I have been especially impressed with preschool for my son and how he has progressed so much lately in counting, letter recognition and colouring within the lines. They also put on
a very impressive graduation ceremony and after party within our local university grounds. Likewise in the 2-3's room, my daughter seems very happy and thoroughly stimulated in terms of the activities they set for the children.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for almost two years now and, overall, it has been a great experience. The staff are very friendly and caring and we are reassured that our daughter is in good hands. Also, the staff have been very supportive during the transition to the other age group At
the nursery they do many different activities, from yoga to painting, dancing, singing and exploring around. Our daughter is very happy every morning because she knows she will have great fun. We definitely recommend this nursery.

I am very happy with the care that is provided to my son. When he first started he struggled with the adjustment and now he really enjoys nursery and goes willingly to the key workers. We have seen him grow and develop and we believe his interaction at nursery has contributed to that. His keyworker
and the staff are brilliant, very attentive and caring. They reacted brilliantly when he had an allergic reaction and have since put thorough measures in place to prevent this happening again. I have nothing negative to say and would like to thank them for making me and my husband feel so reassured when he is in their care.

Our daughter has been in the nursery for around 3 months now and the experience so far has been very good. All the Carers in our daughter's group are not only very professional but also very engaged with our wishes. Moreover, they are very energetic and fun and it is easy to see a real care for the
children.
The key person system is also a great support, both for the children and the parents, providing advice and confidence. All the staff in the nursery and mainly the ones that work in our daughter's group have been extremely supportive with helping her to achieve new developmental milestones. She always smiles when we drop her off but more importantly, she is always smiling when we pick her up.

I’m extremely happy with the decision to choose Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool for my son who joined at 8 months ago.
The care and fun that my son has experienced in his first year is amazing. His key person is caring and has helped him develop so much in a short time. I would like to thank
all the team looking after my son, brilliant.

Great for socialising our toddler and learning to be independent.


She has formed a lovely bond with her key worker and really enjoys going now.


I'm looking forward to the outside space being refurbished!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Englefield Green 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.844 for Bright Horizons Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.844

  • 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 Englefield Green Nursery and Preschool is based on 18 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
