Absolutely amazing nursery. My child loves going and hates not going at the weekend. She looks forward to her Mondays. She is a right teacher's pet and is now staying another year, as it is the only nursery she has settled down at and all the children in the nursery are in her age range.

Brilliant nursery and lovely staff. Although my son cries whenever I leave him, I’m confident he has an amazing stay in nursery and soon settles. He’s made some lovely friends and enjoys going despite the crying when I leave him. My son is now fully toilet trained with the help from nursery within a
few short months. There is lots for the children to do and a lovely outdoor space. Snacks are different every day and lots of fresh fruit daily. Happy baby happy mama, thank you so much!

The staff at Brighter Beginnings’s Fitton Hill are brilliant I cannot recommend them enough, they are lovely and my daughter loves them, constantly wanting to go to nursery and since starting has come on leaps and bounds. She has made many friends both inside and outside of the nursery and comes home
to show us what she has learnt and I love how they try her with foods that I wouldn’t normally think of. Overall it’s a brilliant nursery the staff are brilliant, your children are in safe hands and learn so much. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Since my daughter starting at Brighter Beginnings she has come on leaps and bounds and the developmental progress she has made since being here is excellent and it’s brilliant how they have a designated key worker. She has come on leaps and bounds and has made friends for a lifetime that she spends
time with both inside and outside of nursery. The updates that get posted on the Facebook page to show me what she has been up to are brilliant and I love how there’s always pictures of them doing different activities. Snack time is excellent some of the snacks are things I wouldn’t think of usually and you get an update at the end of every day. All in all it’s an excellent nursery and I will definitely be sending her younger brother here.

My child started her nursery in January 2021. Before choosing Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery - Fitton Hill, I have researched a lot about the other nurseries, for some reason I didn't choose many, others - did not respond. Brighter Beginnings had given me the best response to my emails, that was a
good impression. The lady dealing with all my queries and concerns, her response was genuine and straightforward, that was another good impression. When my child started her full time nursery, being a mother I was stressed about being separated from my child. No matter how many times I call the nursery in a day, the response from the staff will be amazing and they assure me that my child doing good. All these pandemic months they really maintained good hygiene and never closed the nursery.
After starting the nursery, my child is learning alot, I can see the development in her behaviour. The update about the child is accurate on a daily basis and the activity update on Facebook is amazing. Overall I am happy about the approach. Thanks.

I collect my granddaughter from this nursery regularly, she enjoys her days and her speech has improved a lot, she is always singing the new songs she has learned. There is a lot for her to do, which she wouldn't be able to do at home.

My son has been coming to the before and after school club since April now and he absolutely loves it. I worried because it was a nursery he would get bored but the children are kept separate and the activities are age-appropriate. The staff take the time to get to know the children and their likes
and dislikes. Thank you very much Brighter Beginnings Fitton Hill.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.939 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.939

  • 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 4.933 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill is based on 14 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.933

  • 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.
