Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We spoke to a few people and were recommended Bright Horizons Spitalfields, its just 5 mins from where we work and thought it worth a try. A real breath of fresh air, we walked in the staff were clearly lovely, and enjoy being there, the children all looked happy, content, well looked after, stimulated,
chatty and curious. Being this is our first child this was a big step for us, and we haven't regretted it, we started on two half days a week, and have now gone full time. Our daughter loves it, enjoys her time and loves her key worker, enjoys the food (FYI no chocolates on site!) Some places I visited kept giving kids sugary and very carby food! which made them all hyper and then dull out). They have two lovely rabbits, the children learn about and interact with, and our daughter loves it, so she really enjoys her outside playtime. A gem in Spitalfields!

Review from Kristen H (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child is so happy when she goes to this nursery. They do a lot of activities with the children: taking them to the garden, gluing and colouring, playing in the sand and water trays. There is also time to just wander around and play in the baby gym or play kitchen or read some books. I get the very
strong impression that the staff genuinely care for my child and have fun with her. My daughter's key person writes good notes about her activities, eating, nap times, etc. There has just been a change in her key person but it's someone she has known and so far it has gone smoothly. I have already recommended the nursery to a friend and her daughter is going there too. Sometimes it's a little chaotic at pickup time but that's probably normal. One criticism: not a lot of space for parking buggies! I'd recommend transporting your child in a sling or getting a compact buggy.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.713) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.938
  2. 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 3.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.375
    2. 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.4
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
