My little one has been going to Bramingham Nursery and preschool since being 6 months old. The staff are brilliant, understanding and very supportive. As a single parent, I know that my child is in the best hands of a team who knows what they are doing and how to bring out the best of so I have not
got to worry about care during the day. There are always different activities to keep the little ones engaged and interested. I recommend this nursery/preschool to everyone in need of excellent childcare.

Both my children are attending this nursery my little boy has been there since he was nine months old and now starting big school next year, my little boy wasn't an easy baby settling in and found it really tough but the nursery staff was really good with him and still is. He loves coming to nursery
and really has developed very well. My daughter has been going since she was just six months old and is now 14 months old, she has had several things wrong with her, like any mother I was worried about her at all times but the nursery management and staff are excellent with her and again her development is great.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Bramingham for over a year now, started when she was 13 months and I am pleased with her progress. Her speech has improved a lot. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They always have a smile on their face during drop-offs and pick-up time and
you can feel the positive energy. They have a lot of activities planned for the kids so you know they’re always busy with something and learning lots. The nursery itself looks very clean and well presented. Thank you to all staff at Bright Horizons for the great job you do.

Our son started at this nursery just two months ago and he loves it. He has settled in so well and has become so confident thanks to the staff at this nursery. We love having regular updates on what he has eaten, activities he has done etc. He always comes home singing new songs and dance moves that
he has learnt that day and we just could not be happier.

My daughter is in preschool and really loves her day at nursery. She loves coming home with some artwork, talking about her friends and singing a new song she has learnt. She always talks her about the staff like they are her friends too. We feel like she really benefits from her time in nursery and
is becoming more confident as a person. My one-year-old has just started nursery too and the staff are really helping her to settle with lots of cuddles and reassurance. It definitely helps having the app so we can see how they are getting on during the day with photos and updates. Credit to the management for their open and frequent communication we really appreciate it. We recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons Brammingham since she was 18 months old. I have watched her grow in confidence and develop her social skills throughout her time here. The staff go out of their way to help with her development and I have nothing but praise. My daughter will be starting school
next year and I know that she will be prepared with the help and guidance from the staff here.

I can not thank Bramingham Day Nursery enough. My first child came here and I removed her due to the poor communication from management. However, I had heard amazing things about the new management team and I have to say I am so pleased I came back with my second. It now has a warm welcoming feel and
the manager goes out of her way to ensure we are communicated with she’s passionate and caring and is so knowledgeable and nothing is to much. The staff team are amazing especially my son's key child who he loves dearly and talks about her all the time especially about her singing. Amazing what a fresh new leader can do. Can’t recommend Bramingham enough to all of my friends now.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three kids have been here since they were one years old. They have all excelled in their early years learning and thoroughly enjoy the nursery. The staff are professional and caring at all times and there really is a sense of family. My son loves taking part in the many activities during the week.
It is great that they introduce the children to different religions and cultures at festival times. He is well fed every day with a great range of freshly cooked food. Over the years any minor issues have been dealt with very well with great communication and promptness. Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

My son (the second to go to this nursery) is three years old and has been attending the nursery since he was aged ten months. I have seen my son develop so much over the years. He is currently in pre-school and loves spending time at Bright Horizons so we have increased his hours to give him the opportunity
to advantage of everything his room has to offer in preparation for when he moves into school next year. The staff from management to those in each room are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. We did see issues at Bright Horizons in 2018 but the current management team and senior staff have transformed the nursery to the best it has ever been! I would highly recommend Bright Horizons to any parent thinking about using this nursery. Thank you to everyone at the nursery who has taken such great care of my boys since 2015!

Amazed at how well the staff communicate with the parents throughout the day, ensuring we are kept up to date with what the children are getting up to.
The staff are all very friendly, amazing with the children.
My little boy has never had so much fun and I’m extremely grateful for all the hard work
from everyone in the under 2’s room.

My son has attended Bramingham Nursery for more than a year. He learned letters and numbers, he is happy when I pick him up from nursery and keeps learning new words (we speak another language at home) which makes me happy. The staff is friendly. I also like the new app, where I can see what my child
ate during the day.

My 3-year-old son has been attending Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery since September 2019 after hearing many positive aspects, I enrolled him straight away. The nursery manager has done an excellent job of keeping us informed and putting us at ease and is always very friendly and happy to assist
with any queries. The staff have all been very warm and welcoming and do a fantastic job with my son especially during his potty training and also when administrating any medical treatment when it's needed, my son is always very happy and smiling when I or my partner drop him off and also when it's time to pick him up, which reassures us that he has been taken good care of and has enjoyed his time at nursery. The food provided is very healthy and balanced and there is always something new for my son to try as well as things he is more familiar with. We are very pleased so far and would definitely recommend the nursery.

Over the last 12 months, our daughter has really thrived thanks to the staff at Bramingham. She quickly settled in (considering she started in the middle of a pandemic, this is a huge testament to the team!) We are always kept in the loop with how the day is going, and love catching up with her primary
caregivers on her developmental progress. She has made friends with staff and children alike, thanks to the welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend Bright Horizons to anyone, and the value for money is fantastic.

My 2-year-old son has been attending Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery since the beginning of September after hearing many positive reviews on the nursery from the local community, as well as close personal friends. From the very beginning, the nursery manager has done an excellent job of keeping
us informed and putting us at ease and is always very friendly and happy to assist with any queries. The staff have all been very warm and welcoming, my son is always very happy and smiling when I or my partner come to pick him up, which reassures us that he has been taken good care of. He still gets a bit teary on drop off, but staff do a great job of consoling him when it’s time to say goodbye. The food provided is very healthy and balanced and there is always something new for my son to try as well as things he is more familiar with. We are very pleased so far and would definitely recommend the nursery.

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.
