When our childminder retired, we looked everywhere for a nursery that we felt would give our daughter everything she got previously plus the bonus of being in a bigger setting. Bright Beginnings Parade did not disappoint! They are all friendly and amazing with the children. Our daughter loves going
and goes running in with a big smile and hugs for all the staff. She gets great personal care and has lots of friends.
Even better, they offer holiday care for older children during school holidays. My older two love going. Excited to meet new friends and all the activities they provide.
An amazing setting who do all they can to assist the families they serve. Keep up the fantastic work!

When picking a nursery for my daughter I visited most of those in the area and Bright Beginnings stood out straight away. The staff were so open and friendly in the first meeting and it has continued ever since. My daughter had issues settling in and the nursery worked with me to help with that. She
now puts her arms out to the staff and doesn’t look back! It is such a relief when working full time to know your child is being looked after and enjoys being at nursery! I love the update pictures I am sent and it is great to see my daughter's progress on her daily update sheets.
I would highly recommend this nursery!

My son has been attending Bright Beginnings Nursery since January 23, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care he is receiving. All staff members are caring & attentive. I know my son is in good hands and he is safe here. He enjoys going and has come on so much since attending.

My son has been attending Bright Beginnings since March and I could not dream of a better team to take care of him. My son is always so excited to get through the door and always comes out laughing at the end of the day. Everyone there has a beautiful way with children and my son has come on leaps and
bounds since being there. I feel so relaxed when I’m at work knowing he is being well taken care of and that they are taking an interest in his development.

Bright Beginnings are an amazing place where I take my little girl to a playgroup. She's a vulnerable toddler (almost) with a heart condition and they keep the place safe and clean for her. She loves exploring and playing with others. Staff are amazing and helpful. We walk 25/30 minutes to get there
but the rooms are nice and warm and it's really important for my little girl's health.

Brilliant nursery. Staff are fantastic with my little boy, who has attended here now for nearly 2-years, and he absolutely loves it, and as a parent, there is no greater feeling than knowing you chose the right nursery for your little one.

I am really pleased with Bright Beginnings. I was a little worried about putting my son in nursery at first, he wasn’t sure initially and I had to fight with him each morning to get him in. After a couple of weeks, he loved going and was really excited. So I slowly increased his days relieving pressure
on the family. The staff have an excellent relationship with him and he is really comfortable around them. Seeing his smile walking into nursery makes me a really happy mummy and less guilty about leaving him. The nursery send me pictures and updates while I’m at work which is excellent because it can be difficult for me, missing milestones whilst at work. I can’t be more thankful for your help in looking after my son. Always accommodating if I need extra support on different days and great communication from staff, who fill out a form to tell me what he’s been up to; eating, playing with, sleeps, nappy changes etc. I definitely made the right choice choosing bright beginnings!

Reply from Stacey Causer, Manager at Bright Beginnings Parade

We are so pleased that he has settled and he loves attending, he's a cutie. Thanks for your review.

My two children both attend Bright Beginnings Parade at the school, my son has been there for just over a year and my daughter started this month. They both absolutely love going and have such fun days no matter what they are doing. When my son started he was transitioning from nappies to toilet and
they walked alongside us brilliantly, never had any issues.
My son came out of his shell so much when being around new faces and made so many new friends, he would get upset when it came to the weekend. My daughter has settled in perfectly and always has a good day with staff and children. All members of staff are friendly, helpful and attentive with the children, my son has built some great bonds with the staff and I'm sure my daughter will too. Haven't got a bad word to say about this nursery, it is amazing to see my children thrive in this setting.

I have used this nursery since 2015. My daughter attended the nursery for 4 years and thrived at this nursery. More recently my son has been attending since July last year. Having been born just before a pandemic he was very clingy and cried in the company of anybody other than mum. The nursery were
fab with getting him settled in. All of the staff are friendly and very informative and always welcome him with a happy smiley face. I would not hesitate to recommend Bright Beginnings.

This is a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending since last summer and his speech and confidence has grown. The English language is not his first language, but with the help from teachers, he is learning fast.
He has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the teachers. They learn
something new every day and I love that they play outside in the fresh air every day (unless of high winds) which I think is extremely important.
My son is very happy and talking about nursery every day and asking when he can come again.

My oldest child went to Bright Beginnings and now my younger child is going here, they both love going to Bright Beginnings. The staff are happy, helpful and always there if you need any advice. The children are very well looked after in a safe happy environment and coming home after learning something
new every day. I would 100% recommend Bright Beginnings to any parent.

This nursery is by far the best nursery I have ever come across, I have two children one of them is aged seven and the other aged 3. My first child started this nursery from a really young age, so first I was a little scared of putting him into a nursery with him being my first born but after a few
days he settled in really well and he absolutely loved it there, his speech developed really quickly which I put this down to the nursery, I now have my daughter in this same nursery and again she started from a young age and loves it, all the staff go above and beyond for you and your children. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We have been with this nursery for nearly two years. Staff are brilliant. Have all kind of sessions available, though we are having all day which suits best for us. Little one enjoys all the events organised at nursery. Also, there is a holiday club for my eldest when they have half term at school.
Overall I can say it was the best decision to take my children to this nursery. Also, I must admit that my little one is a fussy eater, but he loves the food which is prepared in nursery.

The best nursery and staff in Skelmersdale by far. I visited 3 nurseries before settling for Bright Beginnings. The staff are right on the ball, a mixture of mature and younger staff, which is great to see. As a TA myself, I know my child's abilities she has come on exceptionally and I can't thank the
staff enough for this. Would recommend again and again .

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.591)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.591) out of 10 for Bright Beginnings Parade 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.938 for Bright Beginnings Parade is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 3.653 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Beginnings Parade is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.278

  • 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.
