It has been so lovely welcoming your child into nursery and sharing the memories as he grows and develops. It is lovely to hear you are experiencing a positive relationship with the full team and loving our daily indoor and outdoor learning experiences on offer. It has been great receiving all the parents' ideas for our updated menu and this has contributed towards quality mealtime experiences for all our children to socialise together.

Thank you for your honest feedback, we appreciate how difficult it can be to choose the right nursery for your little one. We appreciate all the support and patience whilst we navigate our way through a refurb of the environment. As management, we understand the importance of being visible in nursery playrooms as we are able to offer reassurance, guidance and support to all our valued team members, families and children. The app is a great way of communicating and building rapport with our families and we are lucky to have this facility in nursery. It is important that we cater to all children's individual needs through our menus and appreciate the time parents take to provide us with nutritional meal ideas for menu planning.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Bright Starts Nursery - Glasgow 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.948 for Bright Starts Nursery - Glasgow is calculated as follows: ( (329 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.948
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 Starts Nursery - Glasgow is based on 29 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 124 number of registered child places is 24.8, which has been reached with 29 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Joined: 2023
Hello, my name is Carrie.
I started my career in early years at the age of 18 years old. I began working for the YMCA in Dumfries working alongside children from 6 weeks to 6 years. I completed my HNC and was promoted to the senior of the baby room, working for this establishment for 5 years.
I decided in 2014, I wanted to enhance my learning opportunities so I enrolled for my BA (Hons) Working with Children and Families in Carlisle, later graduating with a first degree. Upon completion of my degree, I moved to Glasgow with my husband to begin my new management role in the private sector.
Since working in the early years and having a variety of training opportunities, I have become very passionate about Reggio Emilia principles, hygge and The Curiosity Approach. I am very inspired by Froebel's theories about the natural world and Children's play throughout their naturalistic environment.
In September 2019, I began a new journey to start my MED Childhood Practice (master's in education). I chose this course as it was offered on a part-time basis which would work alongside my work commitments and allow me the opportunity to learn within a recognised and respected university.
I am very much looking forward to embarking on my new journey here at Bright Starts Glasgow.
