Amazing nursery, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting in April last year and has made so may friends. I’ll be sad to see her leave and start her new school in September but it’s been lovely. The teachers listen to your needs with your child, if you have any issues they will help as
best as they can, I couldn’t fault it.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so glad we have played a part in helping her to grow and learn, she will be missed very much when she goes to big school, but she is more than ready for it now.

My little boy started nursery in January and he’s come so far! His speech is coming on amazingly, he went into nursery a full-time nappy wearer and is now out of nappies during the day! He absolutely loves the staff and they’re always very welcoming and can tell they really enjoying seeing his little
face. He comes home talking about the staff, they go above and beyond for the little ones, I really am glad I chose this nursery. My son loves going!

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We love him coming too, he is such a happy chappy and has settled in really well, he has made so much progress already we can't wait to help him shine even more.

My son was (still is) very clingy before he came to nursery, he never liked interacting with anyone other than the people he knew. Nursery made him feel very welcome and helped him get over his nervousness, he has come on a long way since joining and now is ready to go to big school in September. I
couldn't thank the nursery staff enough, my daughter will be coming in January. I'm sure she will thrive as much as my son has.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback, he has come out of his shell and is a big character here at nursery, we will sure miss him when he goes to big school.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 2 years old and he is progressing more and more everyday. The teachers fully support him with his needs and they always keep me updated with how he behaves during the day and what he’s been up to. I made the right choice sending my son here as he loves
it here and always runs into nursery as soon as the gates are open. I highly recommend this nursery for all kids, even kids with additional needs. Thanks to all the staff at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback Jayne, we have loved watching your son grow and develop and helping him on his journey, he has come on so much and we are so proud of him, he will definitely be a hard goodbye when he goes to big school.

My experience with this nursery, we all know and love as Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill, has been nothing but great. My baby sister attends this nursery and every day when she comes home she always wants to share something she has learnt or done during her day at school. A lot of the times
she doesn't want to leave school because she does not want to leave her friends and the staff. There has never been a moment where I have doubted the staff's ability to protect and teach these children.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is lovely to hear that we have made such an impact on our children and that they never want to leave, we would keep them here forever if we could.

My 3rd grandchild has now started at Fitton Hill, my eldest is very challenging as he is showing signs of autism but the staff worked with him to make his time there very happy, he has now gone to a mainstream school. One of my grandchildren are still here and just recently my 3rd grandchild started,
at first, he didn't settle so we pulled him out and started again after Easter. The first few days he did 90 minutes as he was getting worked up but his key worker has done a fab job with him and now he runs in and doesn't even say bye. All the staff are amazing and make you feel very welcome and take time to listen to you. My grandkids have come on so well and love going to nursery every day. We can't thank them enough for all their help and support.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we have thoroughly enjoyed caring for your grandchildren and although, it may have taken a little time for grandchild number 3 to settle we got there and now he loves coming through our doors :)

What a fantastic nursery. I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my daughter, my other daughter also went to Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill and I'll be sending my son when he's of age. The staff are absolutely amazing and have nurtured, cared and taught my girls amazing things. They've
become talented little people and have got them ready for their next adventures in life. The time they've put into them I'll be forever grateful for.

Whilst my son has attended Brighter Beginnings Fitton Hill he has learnt so many new things, he continues to do so daily thanks to the amazing staff! He is trying new snacks he doesn't normally eat and the staff encouraged him to do more with every session and it shows with the great effort they put
in with the kids as they all run to the staff each morning! Great work

Since my child started back in 2018 he has come on leaps and bounds. He struggles with his speech and was very low on his assessment when he first started for his age. In such a short space of time, he has progressed so much and is now at the right age group for himself. He has taken to the ladies there
like a duck to water and couldn't think of anywhere else I would rather have sent him. Well done girls at Brighter Beginnings Fitton Hill you're smashing it.

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.
