I can’t fault this lovely nursery. Our daughter has grown both in confidence and developmentally thanks to the lovely staff and the engaging activities they plan each week. She has gone from a shy, clingy baby who wouldn’t leave mummy’s side, to a fun, confident little lady who loves to learn and often
doesn’t want to come home as she’s having so much fun. I look forward to watching her grow and develop further with the Bright Horizons Bramingham team.

My son's confidence and development have grown so much with the support of the staff at the nursery. Any questions I raise are responded to quickly and the support shown has my gratitude. The diversity of staff, kids, and the food provided is amazing, couldn’t have picked a better nursery.

I only have great things to say about this nursery. We always receive warm welcomes from all staff when we arrive in the morning. There is always great communication from the staff regarding my child’s day and we are provided with regular feedback on the app. My child’s development has come on leaps
and bounds since starting Bright Horizons and I could not be happier with his progress.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend this nursery. My son has really flourished here. It is evident in the handovers that the staff are attentive and really care about him and his wellbeing. He has grown in confidence and loves the setting. It has set him up well for starting school. The management team are always
on hand to answer questions and support where needed. The staff in the rooms are exactly the people I want caring for my son when he's away from me. The meals are cooked on site by a professional chef and the menu is varied and healthy. There is a big outdoor space for exploration and play and there is always a variety of activities to support learning indoors. I'm very happy with the setting.

Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son became a part of this nursery in February, and the progress he has made since then has been extraordinary. He attends full time, five days a week, and the care he receives from the staff is exceptional. The nursery's app is particularly excellent, providing regular updates on his meals and nap
times, effectively eliminating any guesswork. The staff also share photos of him through the app, allowing me to see him happily interacting with his environment.
Moreover, the app serves as a valuable communication tool, enabling me to get in touch with the staff as required. Dealing with my son's picky eating habits has been a challenge, but the nursery has done an incredible job of introducing him to a variety of flavours. The staff members are truly remarkable, and I thoroughly enjoy our chats when I come to collect my son.

Our daughter began settling in sessions in June and started full-time in July.
All the staff have been fantastic not only at helping her settle in but also to reassure us as parents.
The nursery has such a friendly atmosphere, everyone says hello and looks genuinely happy to work there.
They seem
to treat all children like their own, and nothing seems too much to ask.
Absolutely fantastic and I look forward to seeing our daughter develop during her time at nursery.

This is a brilliant facility. Staff are engaging, supportive and kind but firm to children. Staff are from all different backgrounds which provides children access and understanding of different cultures and religions. They have a variety of healthy foods from a professional chef and a big space to
play outside. My son's confidence has been supported by staff, he’s able to express himself comfortably and any concerns or questions I have are always answered. I’d highly recommend.

Our son started at Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool in January this year and we are so happy. He struggled with being dropped off to begin with and would cry when we left but the nursery staff were brilliant with him. They knew exactly what to do to comfort him. He's now over a
month in and we have no tears at drop off, just big smiles! His crawling and communication skills have come on lots since he's been there too. His key person and all the ladies in the baby room are so friendly and helpful, likewise for those in the office and everyone else I've seen there. We love seeing the updates on the app so we can see what he's eaten, how he's slept etc. Makes handovers much quicker. So glad we chose this nursery!

We love the nursery. Both our children attend the nursery and preschool, and they feel so comfortable and feel part of the bigger family. We feel such warmth entering, and the staff are phenomenal. They have made a lot of friends, and everyone is so happy. Seeing the kids smiles at drop off and pick
up definitely tells us how they are.

They are always so friendly and will help with anything you need. My little one is so advanced from when he started.

My son started at Bright Horizons at 11 months old and successfully transitioned into school and is now In year 1. He still has the bubbly personality and we had a lot of support during his transition to school. My daughter also started at 12 months old and is now in preschool. Although she is a lockdown
baby, she has grown in confidence and absolutely loves going into nursery. The nursery went through a lot of challenges over the last few years, but not once did I loose my confidence in the nursery and as a key worker this was very helpful during the difficult times.

My little one has been going to the nursery since September 2022. I had read an Ofsted report, which in all honesty wasn't the best (at the time). But I decided to visit the nursery anyway, as wanted to make my own judgement. I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. I was showed
round by one member of staff and all my concerns were addressed. I met the team and made the decision to enrol my little one. My little one was born premature and the reason for putting him into nursery was to help his development. I can honestly say that he has learnt so much whilst being there. He loves going and I have noticed him doing things that he never did before, for example eating whole foods and wanting to feed himself. I'm so impressed with the nursery, especially the baby room! I am so glad I didn't judge the nursery based off a Ofsted report. I am so thankful to every staff member of the baby room, including the manager and one other staff member in particular. Thank you, to the entire team!

Very good nursery and pre-school. My son was well prepared to start school. My daughter was very happy in toddler group. Now even happier in pre-school. Lovely staff. Always supporting and multilingual, which is very helpful when English is not the first language at home.

My son joined this nursery shortly after his second birthday and he has enjoyed it thoroughly ever since! The practitioners are so caring and understanding and it's easy to see why my son has settled in so nicely. Their communication is excellent and I'm always made aware if there are any changes in
the week i.e. with room changes or activities in my son's room. I also like the fact that both parents are able to access the app/portal to see updates on how he is doing during the day and this makes communication flow easily between us.

From the first time our daughter set foot in the nursery during our tour around, she did not want to leave. This assured us that it was and is the right place for her. The staff are calm, nurturing and child-focused. There's good communication between us and the staff team, which is very important.
Our child looks forward to coming every day (she even asks if she's going to 'school' at the weekends- that's how much she loves it!) and she has already started to make noticeable progress in all areas of her development. We are grateful for everything that the staff do and know how hard they work.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 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 4.951 for Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (252 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.951
  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 4.821 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 22 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 134 number of registered child places is 26.8. 22 Positive Reviews ÷ 26.8 = 0.821
  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.
