The nursery itself is always clean and great space for the children to play and express themselves. Management are fantastic, always greet you with a smile and happy to help with anything you ask them to for your child. I would recommend this nursery to anyone as it truly is the best in the area.

The staff go over and beyond to attend to his needs and I thank them for their patience and understanding. My son also enjoys the delicious meals prepared by the nursery that rarely he doesn't have seconds. The meals are healthy and well balanced. I am confident that when he starts big school, he has been well prepared by Dandelion.
I'd recommend Dandelion Nursery to anyone who is looking for a nursery for their little one. You can be assured that they will be well looked after and also have with other kids and the friendly staff who are also professional in their own right.

My youngest has just started and throughout her settling in sessions, the staff have been keeping me informed of her progress, reassuring me and recounting detailed stories of what she's been doing and how she's enjoyed it. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone. All of the staff are approachable, knowledgeable, caring and truly wonderful! This nursery provides that personal touch and it is a fabulous environment for my 2 children. Thank you everyone, you're amazing at what you do.

Food choices are varied - our daughter seems to enjoy it. Activities seem to be well planned & varied too- giving children the opportunity to try lots of things & get a head start on early years learning: writing, reading, maths, ICT, science, forest school, cooking etc. Learning is supplemented with visits by music for children, ZooLab etc.
Facilities are second to none outdoor space & use made of it is best of all the nurseries we visited.
We would absolutely recommend this nursery and if we had to choose again we would still use Dandelions- it has felt like a very nurturing, safe and fun place for our daughter, and I know she will miss it terribly when she leaves this summer.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Dandelions 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.839 for Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.839
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 Dandelions Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 12 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.
