Very friendly and cooperative staff. They are ready to support with additional needs. My son settled well in the setting. They are giving feedback at the end of the day and never rush whilst saying bye. Truly worthy!

They care deeply about children’s development, and communication is great with parents, and they take feedback into account.
My son is really happy there.

Review from Caoimhe M (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My almost 4-year-old has attended the nursery for over 2 years, and I am extremely happy with the care that is provided. She has experienced three different rooms, as she progressed in age, and in each the care and attention were outstanding and I always felt really happy with how she was being looked
after.
Now that she is in the pre-school room, there is an excellent focus on fun learning activities, and her writing is really progressing and most importantly she finds it fun. The carers incorporate really fun activities into each day as they learn about space, parts of the body, the senses etc. and I love hearing stories about fun activities from each day. The arts and crafts activities are also excellent, and the carers have recently gone the extra mile in tailoring these to my daughter's particular interests.
The nursery communications and management have been excellent recently - I feel very well informed as a parent and would not hesitate in recommending the nursery.

Review from Lorraine A (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really like Maythorne Cottages. My daughter came across from another nursery and continues to flourish! We noticed things like her use of ‘Yea’ changed to ‘Yes’ quite quickly after she started and her language seemed to progress even further after a few weeks. The staff are lovely and are very caring
and management do a wonderful job of getting to know all the children and parents. Communication between the nursery and parents is also great given the current Pandemic. I’ve had several phone calls about how my daughter is getting on with her key worker and from management. They’ve also been very supportive with our recent potty training and nap dropping!
I think they're doing a fantastic job given the challenges they're under.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.802)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.802) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Maythorne Cottages Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.802 for Bright Horizons Maythorne Cottages Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.802
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Maythorne Cottages Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 16 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2021

I have worked in childcare for 11 years and have grown and developed from a nursery practitioner to nursery manager.
I have gained a lot of experience throughout my childcare journey working at various different childcare settings.


I want to develop a real sense of community at my nursery and help children learn and grow in confidence through the opportunities we provide for them.
As a mother myself to two boys who keep me on my feet.


It’s rewarding to see how early years education and experiences offered impact on a child’s brain development for the future.


I intend to create a nursery where children are given opportunities of learning they don’t have at home and create secure attachments with their key workers.
