My daughter has been attending for under a year. However since the start of 2025 specifically she has come on so much. She absolutely loves her time at nursery and her little friends. Couldn't recommend the team enough, they have been a huge help especially in overcoming the drop off tears!

My son started at The bridge last September. Right from the moment we were shown around the nursery, we knew The Bridge was perfect for him. The staff are just incredible, each and every one of them makes you feel so welcome and you can see how passionate and knowledgeable they are about their work.
They are so caring and kind and it shines through in everything they do each day. My son has just flourished being here, his learning and understanding of things have come on leaps and bounds alongside his social skills and speech. The setting is always clean, calming and welcoming too, fully secure so you know your little one is safe (even the procedures they have for taking the children out and about are spot on), and the food the chef does for their meals is amazing - a real variety whilst still ensuring they get a good amount of vitamins and minerals and goodness! It's a wonderful nursery and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of sending their little one there.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic. My little boy is on his second week. I looked round a few nurseries and none compared to The Bridge. They are so welcoming and the staff are so lovely. You can tell the staff love what they do.. they care for your child as you would. Nothing is too much trouble
for them. As soon as he had his settling-in sessions I knew this nursery was going to be perfect. You get so many updates and photos of your child. I can't recommend this place enough.. such a nice place.

The Bridge Nursery has completely transformed our nursery experience in 6 months. Our little boy had attended nursery for 18 months prior to this at a different setting and it never felt like he really settled in. Since coming here we have finally seen him LOVE nursery, come out of his shell and actually
look forward to attending and not want to come home. He is excited to be there and wants to show us around the second we step foot into the building. The staff encourage him in ways we have never seen and strive to get our little to be a part of the community, to explore, to be kind and to grow. He came home this month singing full Christmas carols, knowing all the words and amazing us all. His knowledge of shapes, letters, numbers and his vocabulary and understanding of words has come on in leaps and bounds. We are over the moon to have finally found a setting who truly care, celebrate life and celebrate our son. I'd recommend this nursery to anyone.

Absolutely amazing nursery! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. My two have settled in perfectly and are always so excited to go in.
The communication with parents is excellent with photos and updates throughout the day.
The nursery setting is so well thought out and with a huge outdoor space
that offers a large variety of activities.
I would honestly recommend them to anyone needing childcare. Truly amazing!

We looked at so many nurseries in our search to find the perfect one and I can honestly say, we struck gold when we found The Bridge. Our little girl started on day one of opening after visiting an open-evening. We were instantly put at ease by the teams kind, friendly, caring and understanding nature.
Nothing is too much trouble! We love the updates we receive throughout the day on the app - as well as images! We love all of the interactive, fun and educational activities that are planned for the children. But most of all, we love the team - they really have made our whole nursery experience so much more than we could have ever imagined.
Thank you so much! We feel so lucky to be a part of The Bridge family!

Brilliant first week at The Bridge Nursery, the setting itself is so safe, clean and has loads to do for children to play and learn, the staff are all lovely and have made my daughter's first time at nursery so fun, she loves it and is excited to go. The attention to detail and effort they have put
into ensuring children are safe and well cared for and their individual needs are met is excellent, also the app that gives parents regular updates on how their child is doing in detail is brilliant and is reassuring for parents to know their child is happy and very well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.360)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.360) out of 10 for The Bridge Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 5.000 for The Bridge Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.36 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Bridge Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.66

  • 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.
