My son has been here for a year now. He is very happy and healthy here. This is one of the nurseries with high-quality hygiene. The staff are extremely lovely and caring towards the children. They follow all the guidelines and policy. They ensure they email us updates weekly so the parents are well
connected with the happenings in the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. Thanks for everything to all the staff members and for taking such good care of our children so that we have peace of mind at work.

Our son has been a member of the nursery since May 2017 and has recently moved into a new class. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at nursery and I feel reassured leaving him with the team. Important factors for choosing a nursery, were the facilities, staff and cleanliness and Woking exceeds all of these.
The facilities are well considered and specifically tailored. The staff are simply fabulous. I could not be happier.

We are very pleased with having our 2 and a half-year-old daughter in this nursery. She absolutely loves going there and her development since she's started has been amazing. We, as parents, really appreciate caring and professional staff, clean facilities, a variety of toys and activities and balanced
nutrition. Daily reports do help us to get our mind at rest knowing what she's been up to during the day. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and room team for a great job.

Excellent service. Just a few weeks into life in the nursery and our little one is settling in well thanks to all the staff in the Discoverers room. The feedback we get at the end of each day is great and we have recommended this nursery to our friends.

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons Woking since she was 4 months old, now nearly 2 years on, we are as happy as ever. She has gone through a number of the rooms in her time, each room and staff as welcoming and focused on her journey and needs as an individual. Staff work with parents to support
what we are doing at home so that there is a real 'home from home' feel and care about the nursery. Recently, the staff have supported us with successfully toilet training my daughter making the whole dreaded process so much easier. Above all, I know she is happy, well looked after, challenged and supported which is all as a working parent I could wish for. Thank you, Woking Team!!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my son gets at this nursery. He has been attending it since it opened and thoroughly enjoys his time there. The staff take such an interest in his development and make a point of being friendly, approachable and interested in us as a family. My husband and I can relax
while at work knowing he is safe and is not only looked after but also well stimulated and entertained. My daughter will begin attending this nursery also, later this year - and I would not hesitate in recommending Bright Horizons Woking to anybody!

As a London commuter, the nursery is 5 mins walk to the town centre/station.
Bright spacious and comfortable atmosphere for the children.
Food seems varied, nutritious and probably delicious!
Quality of teaching along with progress monitoring seems very good.
Our experience with the various teachers,
including the more senior teachers all seem so genuine, friendly and caring. I have witnessed this with my own son but also with a few of his friends.

Great nursey, our son is really happy there. highlights are the staff, and the food, down-side being the obvious lack of outdoor space.

We love Bright Horizons and my daughter really loves going. There are always great activities planned that are fun but are also excellent learning tools, the ruler exercise was a big highlight this week.The staff are all very friendly and caring towards the children. However, most of the time that my
daughter is in the nursery, her Key Worker is not in her room and has spent a considerable amount of the last few months in other rooms filling in. We love her and my daughter has a great bond with her but she doesn't really see her much anymore and I"m unclear how her development can be mapped accurately given the limited time she spends with her We miss her! My daughter has formed a great bond with the staff who is amazing.


Bright Horizons Woking Day Nursery and Preschool is very effectively managed. She is very visible, approachable and "on it" manager, which I'm sure is a huge factor in the success. We have recommended the nursery to many people of which quite a number now attend.

I couldn’t be happier with the care that is given to my son at nursery. I knew as soon as I walked into the friendly atmosphere in reception that this was the perfect place for us. My son comes in each time with a big smile on his face and waves bye bye to me which puts my mind at rest each and every
time. I know he has such a fun time at nursery and does something different every day he is there. He loves all the staff and there isn’t anything that could be improved. Everybody makes such an effort and the nursery is the best I’ve seen. Very clean and presentable and I would highly recommend.

Every time I pick up my son it's clear that he's had a great day and that he is in great hands. His key carers clearly enjoy caring for him and he's always got a smile on his face. The staff are friendly and approachable and give very informative handovers on pick up. They have made sending my boy to
nursery stress free and an enjoyable experience and I know we chose the right setting sending him here.

Childcare is possibly the hardest thing you’ll ever have to choose, financially and emotionally making sure you are doing the best for your child when you return to work. From day one, the team at Bright Horizons Woking Day Nursery and Preschool have surpassed all my expectations. My daughter thrives
in their setting with a huge variety of activities, outdoor play and mixing with the older children she’s become quite a social butterfly ...I feel so confident leaving her in their care!


The team really care about the children as they show them lots of affection, and that is infectious amongst the children. Her love of food continues with their extensive menu, she gets a far more exciting lunch than I do making it really easy to introduce her to a variety of food at home!
Thank you to everyone involved at Woking!!

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.
