Having had two grandchildren at this nursery I wanted to do a review. Our eldest grandchild is now at school but the care he had at this nursery was amazing. He was fully prepared by all the various different staff members for the big transition from nursery to school. He settled straight into school
with no problems.
The youngest grandchild still attends the nursery and is very happy there. It's such a joy when we collect him, he's always smiling and very happy. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly to us. They always explain everything that he has done throughout his day with them.
I feel that both the children gained so many skills and their personal development was amazing to see. They are confident, kind and happy children. Thank you Woking Nursery

Our son has started at Bright Horizons in Woking recently and he is so happy there. This is a beautiful nursery and we have chosen it again as our daughter had an amazing time there few years ago.
The staff are brilliant, supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity.
We can already see a great progress in our son's social interaction confidence and his physical skills. The children take part in a wide range of activities each day which supports all areas of his development.
The communication with the nursery is also exceptional. Nursery uses an App where parents can see what your child does on the day, info on meals and lots of photos too!
We are so lucky and happy we have chosen this nursery and highly recommend it!

Noticeable development in both my son and daughter since starting. We would recommend this nursery! They

I consider myself lucky that my 9-month-old got to start nursery with Bright Horizons Woking. They really took such good care of her, it really put me at ease.
She has spent almost 2 years with them and they have been crucial in her overall development and learning.
The management is also very supportive
and helpful in all situations one can imagine.
Highly recommended!

Woking Day Nursery is my child's happy place. She loves going to school and always comes home with a smile on her face. The staff are caring and I feel 100% confident leaving my little one in their care. My 3-year-old is thriving at this nursery and she comes home every day having learnt something new.
Needless to say, I am very happy sending my child here!

My child absolutely loves coming to nursery here. She runs in every morning and greets the staff with a big cuddle (she is 21 months old). The staff are so friendly and greet her sibling by name every pick up despite him not coming here. They get to know the whole family and treat you as part of their
family. My child is offered a wide range of foods and eats so well when she is here. I would recommend Bright Horizons Woking to everyone.

My son has been going to nursery for over a year now. He is nonverbal and I was really scared of sending him anywhere but he is very happy and well-adjusted there. He loves the staff and they love him as well. They help him and play with him according to his needs. They are doing fun activities the
whole week and my son loves them and learns a lot of new things. Very pleased with my decision to send him there.

My son has just started at Bright Horizons in Woking and he's had a tough time adjusting to being at nursery for the first time. Everyone at the nursery has been so so amazing, it feels like you're leaving them with family. They're all so warm and welcoming. They have an app so you can see what your
child is up to and everything they've eaten. I couldn't be happier with our start to nursery!

Our daughter has been going to the nursery for almost a year. The team helped her settle in really well and are really friendly and caring. Our daughter has progressed really well and the staff ensure they do lots of activities each day, including sensory play and lots of messy play too. They try to
get the children outside every day, although this doesn't happen as much in winter (for obvious reasons). We're very happy with the nursery setting and would recommend it.

As today is my daughter's last day in preschool, we would like to say thank you for all the support and care. When we were looking for a school for her after relocating to Woking, we were very sceptical about the school since the reviews on the internet weren't the best as at then. We still decided
to give it a go as she was in the same setting in another area.
Right from day one, she felt welcomed and made her settle in so well. The management were also receptive to us as parents and was willing to change her session to suit our schedule.
We are very grateful and want to say thank you to you all.

Our son has been going to Woking Bright Horizons since he was 1 year old and has always loved nursery and will cherish his time there. He has formed so many lovely attachments with the staff and children over the years and we are grateful for all the help and support he has received which has helped
him gain the confidence he needed to be ready for school!
The nursery manager is excellent and she has put in place some lovely initiatives such as a parent group, visits from local community, fun days etc, the communication from management is excellent and they go above and beyond to be flexible to our needs such as if we need to change days or patterns. They even kindly allowed us to change days for a short period so I could undertake a work training which was much appreciated.

Overall I am impressed with how my daughter has been handled by great staff here in Bright Horizons, Woking. I like the variety of diets available for my toddler with nutritional value for her age appropriateness. Health and hygiene are top-notch. For her overall well-being and development, I can see
how the nursery records each milestone and keeps us updated about her progress. They also focus on her holistic growth and according to her age, they offer various activities. Though it's a busy place but I always feel my daughter is taken care of and she’s safe.

My daughter loves nursery and has settled in really quickly. The staff are so caring and really make a huge effort to properly tend to her needs. She’s so excited when I drop her off and will literally run into the carers’ arms. The manager is extremely helpful and was very quick to change our nursery

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Woking Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.808 for Bright Horizons Woking Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.808

  • 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 Bright Horizons Woking Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 27 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 27 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.
