My son has attended this nursery from nine months old and my daughter from age two to three when she left for big school.
I can't rate them enough. The manager has gone out of her way to accommodate me and my ever-changing needs.
Both of my children have loved it there and have always been happy
and excited to go.
They have received so much love and care from the staff that look after them and that is such a comfort to me as a mum.
I love the environment, there is always something new and exciting set out to engage the children's play and learning. Great outdoor space too.
Communication is excellent and I have always been kept very well informed at pick up time with all the necessary information.
We love it and would definitely recommend.

I viewed several nurseries and after viewing Wetherby Street the security of the building was a major bonus for me. The staff was so welcoming and made my daughter feel so welcome and at ease. She loves how interactive all staff are and involving her in every activity they do. Snack time is amazing,
they cater for my daughter's allergies. The safeguarding is at top level and I couldn't be any more at ease leaving my daughter in the environment and company of all staff.

My son is always happy to go to nursery and reluctant to leave.
He has started to learn to write and was able to write 'Mummy' the other day. I was very pleased with his progress.
The nursery also organises trips out. They recently went to Portland Basin Museum and my son enjoyed it immensely.

Staff are great at interacting and making bonds with the children. My little girl is always happy talking about the things she has done at nursery. Regular feedback verbally on collection and a monthly newsletter to keep us parents up to date with events/news/reminders.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.780)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.780) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Openshaw 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.880 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Openshaw is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Openshaw 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.9

  • 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.

Hi, my name is Kelly I have worked in childcare for 6 years but at Wetherby Street for 3 years. I love to see children develop and grow and always feel proud of their achievements no matter how big or small. As a mum of three children myself, I understand the importance of building strong parent partnerships and getting to know the children’s strengths so we can strive for them to reach their full potential. I love creating new and exciting areas in the preschool room based on the children’s interests and watching how excited and engaged they become when playing. I have a passion for being outdoors with the children, helping them to explore and discover the natural world around us by collecting leaves, exploring conkers and even hatching chickens from eggs teaching the children all about life cycles.
