Cannot recommend Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton highly enough. My 2-year-old has attended the nursery since being 5 months old, it’s like his second family! The staff in both the rooms he’s been in are phenomenal. They are kind, caring and extremely thoughtful. The knowledge the nursery’s
manager has of the early years curriculum shows and the enthusiasm of the current room leads is evident when dropping your child off. I love finding out what my child has been enjoying and learning about from his key worker and on the nursery’s Facebook page, I especially loved their visit from an ice cream van!
The food offered throughout the day is nice and varied and there isn’t much my little one hasn’t eaten, they have a fabulous chef!
I have no hesitation in recommending Brighter Beginnings Chadderton to other parents, and cannot wait to send my other little one when I return to work in September.

The staff are absolutely brilliant with the children, they are welcoming and caring. I could never ask for a better nursery for my child. They’ve helped her come along with her speech ever since she started and I couldn’t thank the staff enough for everything they do, not only for my child but for all
the children.

I moved my two year old son here in April from another nursery and it’s been the best decision. He loves it so much and comes home in the best mood. He’s come on so much with his speech and communication. My boy loves playing outside and the garden has so much for the children to play with. The nursery
has made him feel so welcome and included. The staff communicate with me so well when I do the pick ups and drop offs and always greet us both with the biggest smiles. They do so much that other nurseries don’t such as park outings and picnics. Thank you Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton, I’ve already recommended you to two of my friends who have brought their children.

My son started this nursery and from day one he has come on leaps and bounds. He has developed so much over his time at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton. He has found confidence in himself to play well with other children and his communication skills are developing more and more. The staff
at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery have left a little handprint on mine and my child's hearts that we will always remember and be thankful for. The staff are all amazing and so kind-hearted and welcoming I will be sad when my son has to say goodbye in September but I know he has the best start because of all the staff and Brighter Beginnings.

We have been with the nursery since January 2019. The staff are very friendly and my children are always eager to go to nursery. Both my kids are autistic and seen attending the nursery, I have seen a lot of improvement with their learning development. Staff ensure they are well taken care of and what
I love most is the communication and daily update on what they did, if they ate (as one of them is a picky eater) or what they ate, what they learnt etc. The school is well secured and a safe space. The outdoor and class rooms are spacious enough for the capacity of children. I highly recommend.

The staff are always friendly and approachable. Our boy loves going to nursery, playing with all the toys and other children. The nursery has a great secure outside play area. We’ve been very pleased with the nursery over the past 4 years and most recently how they have handled the Covid-19 situation
and the health/hygiene.

My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was 1 he is now 4, he has loved it from the start all the staff along his journey in the different stages have been fabulous, I've felt that he has been in safe hands and don't need to worry when I'm at work because I know they take such good care
of him. My little boy has had speech delay and the staff have been very patient and helped him so much and he has come along in leaps and bounds. Whenever I have had an issue with getting extra childcare or swapping the days around they have always adapted to suit our needs and always go above and beyond to help. I am so glad I picked this nursery for our childcare can't recommend enough, my little boy will miss it when he goes to school.

My daughter has attended here since being nine months old and she is now three. The staff take time to get to know her and use her strengths and work on her weaknesses. They are all so friendly and my daughter loves them all. She is so very clever and is coming on more and more all the time thanks to
the time and effort put in from all the staff members. She only has a year left before school and she really doesn't want to leave! The children in her class go to swimming lessons every week which I think is fantastic, and they regularly attend days out which are both fun and educational. If I was to have any more children in the future I would definitely be sending them here also!

My daughter has been at Brighter Beginnings Chadderton Nursery since September 2018. My experience at her last nursery was not a good one, it left me anxious about leaving my daughter in nursery.


My daughter is a fussy eater, meal times are never straightforward, however, I’m pleased to say the staff

at the Chadderton go that extra mile for my daughter during meal times.


At first my daughter was tearful when either myself or husband would drop her off in the mornings, now she waves us goodbye and appears happy to be at the nursery.


The nursery is spacious and airy, lots of room for playtime and the staff are friendly, professional and willing to listen to any concerns I may have as a parent. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

I have two children at Brighter Beginnings. The eldest’s key worker is brilliant and knows him so well. She is very conscientious, caring, knowledgeable and a great teacher. All the staff in that room are great with the children. He was absolutely thrilled when he was ‘pupil of the week’. The class
go swimming and play football once a week. The food has always been excellent with home-cooked hot meals with dessert for lunch and tea. We will be sad when he leaves to go to school this year. My youngest child started in September and has settled in well. His key worker is also fantastic and he gets a bit jealous of her! They do lots of playing, singing and making things and his vocab for his age is really good. The outside play areas are huge with a separate bit for the babies. The nursery also takes them to the park and other day trips. The staff put regular updates and photos on the secure website so I can track progress and we also attend parents night and play and stays. Very happy.

All of the nursery staff are passionate about what they do and their level of professionalism is second to none.
The activities my daughter

Thank you to all the staff for everything you do each day, it doesn't go unnoticed.

I never worry about her during the day and I know she is well cared for - I love hearing about what she has been doing from her key worker when I collect her and when we get home she
literally doesn't stop talking and singing about her day.
A great nursery with great staff!

My daughter started at Brighter Beginnings Chadderton in January 2017, she had never been away from me by this point, so I expected her to be very clingy when settling. The staff in the snowflake room were great with helping to settle her, giving her a cuddle if and when needed.
She now confidently
runs into her room and goes straight for the breakfast table. She is so happy and it is great to see! All the staff are lovely and have a smile for every parent who brings their child in at 7:30. I feel comfortable leaving my child in the morning knowing she will be looked after and have lots of fun. When I come and pick her up she is always clean and staff explain if and why they have had to change her clothes during the day.
I am always told exactly what she has done throughout the day and given any artwork she has done that day. Her key worker is lovely, always happy and shows how much she cares about her key children you can see she genuinely loves her job and she is very good at it.

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.
