Review from Laura Y (Mother of Child) published on 13 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Brightsparks Old Coulsdon for over a year now and they have been amazing. When she first started she was very clingy and would cry every time I left but the staff were so good with her and within a few drop offs she was running in without a care. All of the staff are so caring
and she loves seeing them all. Her development has come along really well, her speech is perfect and she can now recognise most letters and numbers and is attempting to write and spell her name (she will be 4 in September).
She is only leaving because she will be starting school, otherwise I would keep her there.
Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Review from Lara C (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my daughters attend Brightsparks Old Coulsdon, and could't be happier. My youngest is just over a year old, and has been there since she was nine months old. When I drop her off, she plays with her friends and is always happy to see the staff - a very good indicator that they are caring, and
loved by the children.


My eldest is four, and has been there since she was six months old. She can write her name, recognises numbers and some words; she is creative, intelligent, confident, caring and outgoing. Her outstanding development is a credit to Brightsparks and the staff at Old Coulsdon. They structure learning around current events and the interests of the children, and it's a delight to see. We've just collected her Early Years folder, which we will have to pass on to her primary school teacher in September. The care and attention put into the folder is incredible - observations, conversations, artwork, photos of activities mentioned. It is such a thorough record of her development and it's wonderful to read through.


The phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" comes to mind; everyone at Brightsparks Old Coulsdon has had an impact on the way my eldest has grown into a confident and intelligent young girl. It's been a pleasure to have her at Brightsparks, and I look forward to seeing all the milestones my youngest will make as she continues her journey with Brightsparks.


Thank you to all at Brightsparks for providing excellent care for my two girls!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Brightsparks Day Nursery, Old Coulsdon 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.909 for Brightsparks Day Nursery, Old Coulsdon is calculated as follows: ( (492 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 538 Ratings = 4.909
  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 Brightsparks Day Nursery, Old Coulsdon is based on 45 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 45 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.
