A lovely, welcoming nursery. A place that has changed my shy, clingy boy, into a happy confident little individual. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good nursery. The staff are always friendly and well trained, so you know your little one is in safe hands.

My child started in September 2021 and settled in straight away. The nursery have been so caring and friendly towards him that he happily skips in and looks forward to going. The outdoor space is so big, plenty of room for the children to run about in and the staff are always teaching them new things
and about new places (which I always hear about for days at home). As he is starting reception in September, the staff have taken the effort to prepare him, by even taking him to see his new school and talking about it to him, which has made so much difference to ease his nerves! When I pick him up and have a glimpse of him before he spots me, he is always smiling from ear to ear with all of his friends and as a parent that makes me truly happy. Thank you Brighter Beginnings, Chadderton.

All staff are beyond excellent with my daughter and I am more than happy with the experience. My daughter has the best time, every time she attends. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is on point and they do their best to keep me informed of any changes.

My two boys attend the nursery and absolutely love it. They run in through the gates every day. The girls are so kind, caring and love to watch or boys grow. They learn so much, i will be sad when they are too old to attend. Baby number three will be settling at nursery soon and i couldn't think of
better staff to look after our children.

All the staff are friendly. My child is very happy at the nursery and looks forward to going there in the morning. My child has grown in confidence and is always learning new things. Reports on what my child is doing are given to me every day and we are regularly given feedback on my daughter's progress
and what we could do at home to aid her development. The nursery participates in different celebrations and has a range of activities for the children.

I’ve had my two boys attend this nursery. Both boys took a while to settle as they started at the age of three as they’d been home with me before then. The staff were amazing helping my boys to settle as well as putting my mind at rest at the same time. My boy now goes in without tears, and comes out
with a huge smile on his face. Amazing staff, lovely nursery, happy boy… I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

My child started the nursery in September 2021 full-time and has loved every minute of it.


The team are brilliant and everyone is so caring towards all the children, making them feel safe and happy.


The set-up of the nursery and the running of all the activities is amazing, there’s so much to

do!


There are regular updates and reviews completed and as a parent, it’s so lovely to hear about what my child has been up to.


The meals that the nursery provides cater for all diets and we first-hand really appreciate the effort that is made and the variety on offer.


Overall, Brighter Beginning Chadderton is definitely a nursery that I would recommend to family and friends in the future.

I have had 2 children attend Brighter Beginnings and would absolutely recommend it! Both of my children struggled to settle in and the staff were absolutely amazing and did everything they could to make them feel safe and happy, and allowed me to leave them knowing they were in the best hands! Now my
3-year-old loves it so much that he cries on the days he doesn't go! The activities are always engaging and exciting and always following exactly what my son is interested in. The girls all work so hard and clearly have a special bond with all of the children!

My little girl has been going for the last four months now and absolutely loves going. She started during the lockdown which I thought would of been difficult for her to leave me as she’s not left my side since the pandemic started. Due to all the friendly staff my girl has settled in amazingly and
we couldn’t thank them all enough for this. Her key worker is absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this nursery.

The nursery is a spacious, well-resourced centre. Managers listen to parent voices and act accordingly to big and small matters. I have been happy to send both my children there and they have formed great relationships with staff in their relevant rooms.
The nursery moves with the times and looks
to make improvements whenever possible.
The outdoor area is great and over the years I have seen it develop into a great space for imaginative play.
It is a child-centred environment and I have seen the staff make great efforts for individual children to help them feel safe, settled and secure.

I've had two children attending this nursery over the past 5 years and would fully recommend it to all parents looking for a nursery setting. I had some trouble finding a suitable nursery at first but upon first viewing of Brighter Beginnings, Chadderton, I knew it was the one.
It's a lovely setting,
clean, fun and very inviting; they clearly make an effort with both the indoors and outdoors to make it a great experience for the children.
Both my children have loved attending nursery here and the staff have always been great.

Every aspect about the nursery is positive. The staff is welcoming, nurturing and kind, the site is fun (lots of toys, the outdoor yard is spacious), and I think they focus on the child as a unique individual.

Since my little girl started nursery she has come on leaps and bounds. The girls go above and beyond for anything we need, my little girl can be quite challenging for her age and is very advanced as they all could say she keeps them on their toes. My child enjoys going to nursery and the staff are very
professional. Overall I would definitely recommend Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton for your child.

My son loves it at this nursery, always happy to go in. All staff are welcoming and ask if everything has been alright, always keep you updated with upcoming events and tell you everything you need to know about your child’s day (what they had for dinner, what they have been doing). Overall safe and
enjoyable nursery for children and polite staff to parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.937 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton is calculated as follows: ( (359 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.937

  • 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 Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton is based on 32 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 32 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.
