Beautiful nursery set in the heart of Haddenham

Bright Horizons Haddenham offers six light and spacious individual rooms that have been tailored to each age group. All the room environments are designed to be flexible, allowing children to safely explore and flourish while building a lifelong love of learning. The Nursery has great commuter links by road and rail, adjacent to Haddenham and Thame Parkway Station and not too far from the M40 and A41.

The nursery's tranquil separate outdoor garden for babies gives opportunity to discover, learn and safely play with their little friends. When it’s time for a nap the calming baby sleep room is the perfect space to feel safe and secure; ready for the rest of the day.

The nursery provides beautifully designed external play areas for toddlers and preschool children with a fantastic water wall feature – great for those summer days!

Bright Horizons' Ready for School Programme designed by its expert early years team prepares children for school transitions; children will graduate from Bright Horizons Preschool ready to have more fun developing their reading, writing and mathematical skills.

Children will benefit from nutritionally balanced menus; the on-site chef freshly prepares all the food and can cater for everyone’s needs.

The nursery was recently given 'Outstanding' in it's recent Ofsted report (December 2023).

Outstanding nursery, a brilliant team and a very clean, modern and spacious setting. Couldn't be happier there. Our little one has been at the nursery for the last year and I have found the team, without exception, to be very professional, dedicated and empathetic.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 13 months old, she is now 3 and still absolutely loves her days at nursery - often running off before even saying goodbye. All staff members and management are amazing in their knowledge and care and the facilities/activities provided are also
second to none. The food menu is varied and changes with the seasons and is all cooked on-site by a wonderful chef. I visited many nurseries before making my decision on where to send my daughter and Bright Horizons Haddenham stood out by a mile!

Bright Horizons Haddenham is a wonderful place. Our son loves it there and is thriving. He has strong bonds with the staff and is building lovely friendships with his peers. The range of resources and activities he’s exposed to is fantastic and really supports his development. The outside spaces are
wonderful and probably his favourite part of the nursery. The updates throughout the day and the frequent observations are reassuring that your child is content and progressing well. I think you get what you pay for, though I think you should get a discount once your child is out of nappies!

Outstanding preschool for my 3-year-old. Plenty of space to run and play inside and outside, plenty of learning and being challenged to do things, lots of 1-to-1 care, and regular updates. Great options for meals, and a lovely team of people. Absolutely delighted my son is there.

We have been thrilled with our experience with Bright Horizons over the last 2 years, it really is outstanding.
The staff are engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. The leadership team are fantastic - very passionate, personable, organised and communicative.
As a brand-new nursery, the facilities are
great.
The app is a really useful tool to keep tabs on what your child has eaten/done every day. The team proactively share useful information and updates on the activities that the children have been taking part in, as well as specific development plans and updates for your child. The food options are varied and accommodate our allergies and dietary requirements.
We now have 2 children at the nursery and have felt part of the family since our eldest joined.

Our son has been attending this nursery for just under a year and loves it (as do we!). His development, especially his speech and social development, has come on so much since he started. We really appreciate the regular updates on his progress and the fun activities he has been getting up to during
the day. All of the nursery staff are so lovely and know him by name, even if they don’t work in his room. The nursery itself is bright, open and clean, with good outdoor areas for the children to play, and the menu is healthy and varied. It’s a brilliant nursery setting!

My daughter has been with Bright Horizons in Haddenham for well over a year and has had experience in every room moving up through the nursery. The managers and staff are all exceptional and the chef is fabulous. My daughter is very happy here and I know she is in very safe hands. She has a few allergies
and I have no worries at all about her being left with them as I’ve seen the strict and careful procedures they have in place that put me completely at ease. They are all lovely and professional, and I couldn’t rate them highly enough. I’m very pleased with the care she’s had and feel lucky we have a place here with them.

Bright Horizons Nursery in Haddenham is amazing for my son. All the staff and the management know him well and help him to settle in and enjoy each day he is there (he attends 4 full days). They play outdoors weather permitting almost every day and my son loves it. He has a fantastic key worker and
a lovely spacious room that is welcoming, and stimulating with lots of activities and educational toys to play with. The whole team goes above and beyond to help to meet his needs and to look after him. The nursery staff are incredibly supportive and encouraging to my son. I love the community feel at Bright Horizons Haddenham, and I am grateful for their support that will help him achieve his best potential while he is there.

A home away from home. Our boy started here at just 7 months and I could not be happier. Everything from the key workers, the food, the management, the rooms, the cleanliness is top marks.
The developmental stages for our son have been above and beyond and he is advanced in so many areas well before
the milestones hit. This is all down to the support and care of the team.
Living away from family, this nursery and the team are family to our boy.
I have recommended this nursery to so many people and will continue to do so.
Thank you for all that you do.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Haddenham Day Nursery and Preschool 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.896 for Bright Horizons Haddenham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 394 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 Haddenham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 33 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 33 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.
