The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Astley 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.942 for Bright Horizons Astley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.942
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 4.867 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Astley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 13 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.867
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
I've worked for the company for 24 years and I have over 30 years’ experience working with children. I qualified as a nursery nurse at the age of 18 where I gained my BTEC National Diploma in Nursery Nursing. As my passion for childcare grew, I took on supervisory roles where I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge with others.
By the age of 24, I was given the opportunity to take on a managerial role, which I am truly thankful of. Over time, I have continued to develop my own personal development, gaining my Level 4 in Early Years, NVQ trainer and Assessor Qualification, Advanced Safe Guarding, First Aid and SENCO.
I have been married to my husband Chris for 22 years and I have two beautiful Children, Emily who is 20 and Freya who is 16.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Hello, my name is Katie, I have been in post as Deputy Manager at Astley Day Nursery for the last 5 years. I have worked in childcare for the last 10 years, starting as a nursery nurse working my way up to Deputy Manager.
I am extremely passionate about my job ensuring the children enjoy their day at Nursery, thriving to ensure they are provided with the highest standard of quality care. During my time at Bright Horizons I have thoroughly enjoyed supporting the children and their families and giving them the opportunities, to learn, flourish and grow.
I have 2 children of my own, twin boys who I love watching thrive and grow.
