My son has attended this nursery since he’s 2 and now he’s 4 and he really likes the nursery and his teachers. I highly recommend this nursery for any children especially if the child speaks a different language as the teachers here are really patient and understanding.

I've always been nervous and anxious to send my 2 children to a preschool however when my 2 children started nursery at Bright Beginnings and showed how happy they were to be there it showed me so much comfort. They ask every day if they are going to nursery because they want to go! They have made huge
progress in their community action skills too. I'm so happy I overcame the anxiety and chose to take them to Brighter Beginnings nursery!

All 3 of my children went and do still go to Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery Fitton Hill, my eldest girl improved in a lot of skills/learnt a lot from these girls at the nursery, my boys - one has just left and one still goes, they have learnt a lot/been helped with toilet training and other problems.
I couldn't thank all these girls enough for what they do/did with my children. I would highly recommend this day nursery to everybody who has children in these age ranges. They are a fantastic set of girls who always look out for your children. The nursery overall is outstanding, very clean and hygienic.

I have an older child who has attended few different nurseries, so I can compare. So far this is the most amazing nursery I have come across. It is so well organised with amazing activities and fun for kids on a regular basis which promotes the highest level of education. The staff always have outstanding
communication with parents, informing us of the kids' well-being. The staff always remind parents of important things which is very kind. The accident forms are always filled out properly and children's dietary requirements are up-to-date. The staff have taken the Covid-19 situation very seriously by taking precocious action, so the parents are sure the kids are safe! I'm proud my child is attending such a lovely and outstanding nursery.

It is such a beautiful and clean nursery with so many activities for my son and the staff are ten out of ten. I already recommended this nursery to a friend and now her two babies attend, its that good. I would keep my son by my side until he is sixteen ha ha but seeing as that's not healthy, I let
him go here because they make it so easy for us both to leave him.

Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill

I can't put into words how the staff go above and beyond for the children. My daughter is 3 and even with lockdown and the changes in routine they did their absolute best to make it feel normal when nursery was open. There are always fun activities and I am pleased with my daughter's progress and happiness
when I pick her up every day!

Excellent nursery, from my sons first day all the staff have been lovely, so helpful and understanding. Due to the Covid situation, my son had never been around any adults or children of his own age but thanks to the staff he settled in amazingly, he loves going and comes home happy every time telling
me all the different things he has done and learned.

My son used to attend this nursery and had a severe speech delay, nursery helped massively with this, he now doesn't stop talking he came on loads with his development not just speech but all areas! He loved it. They did so well with my son. My other son now attends this nursery and absolutely loves
it he has made lots of friends, he enjoys going and his development has come on a lot. Staff are polite, very welcoming, inform us of everything we need to know, make sure our children are safe and happy. You know your child's being well looked after when they are here. Thanks for everything I highly recommend.

My granddaughter started in September 2020 and all though she has some health problems she's enjoying it. We have noticed the change it has made to her and how well her speech is coming on. She's always calling the names of the nursery workers saying they look after me.

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.
