Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool having been with a childminder from 9 months. I was worried that she would struggle transitioning to a bigger setting. I needn't have worried at all. She was assigned a key worker who was amazing at helping to settle her into
her new surroundings. My daughter has close relationships with the staff in her room and she has easily developed many friendships. She is happy which means I am happy! It's an amazing preschool which I would highly recommend!

My child loves attending this nursery, they have great resources that are easily accessible to the children. The staff look clean, they are friendly but professionals in their job. I am extremely happy with the care my daughter has received. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place for
their child.

Staff in both the baby room and Toddler 1 are so friendly and helpful. My daughter struggled with the transition to Toddler 1 but staff were patient with her (and me) but now she waves me goodbye and has a great time. My daughter loves going to nursery and I am so glad I chose Bramingham.

Such a wonderful nursery! My daughter attended for nearly 3 years and they have been the happiest of 3 years. The staff are all lovely and really care and they are led by a fantastic management team. The holiday club for school age children is also fantastic. I'm very sad my daughter has left to start
school. I really do highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely amazing nursery. We were so happy with the care, nursing and experienced offered. The staff are fantastic - they get to know your children really well and as such provide a learning experience catered for their needs and interests. Our children absolutely blossomed during their time at this
nursery and both were sad to leave (as were we). We cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work and providing the best possible start for our children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really happy with the staff in my daughter's room. Toddler 2 have made her feel so welcome which has made it easy dropping her off in the mornings. She settled so quickly and again, this has just happened with her moving to pre-school next week. Can't fault any of the staff, they've been fab. Would
love to see better gardens facilities as there once was a slide fitted into the ground which the kids loved. More child-friendly menu, as the food isn't that great and a lot of kids don't eat what is offered at the moment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest daughter has been in the nursery since she was 9 months and now 4 years old ready for school. She has flourished and grown in confidence, nursery has become a big part of her life. I have had a very good experience sending my child to nursery hence I have put my 2nd child in too. I have noticed
a difference in development in all aspects of their life in comparison to other children same age who do not attend nursery. The staff at this nursery are brilliant and I would recommend to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very pleased that we put our child into Bright Horizons nursery based in Luton. He has been happy there since his first day, over two years ago. We feel that the nursery provides a very high standard of care and education. I am happy that they are flexible when I want to add extra house at short
notice. Our son's progress has been aided by the facilities and activities. Varied menu provided by the nursery gives our child great nutritious meals throughout the week. The communication between staff and parents is excellent. I feel confident that I can discuss any problems if they arise.

Brilliant! My son has been at this nursery over a year now and everyone here has made him feel very comfortable. Every morning when dropping him off he is more than happy to go into nursery which makes me have a more relaxed day at work. 10/10 from all staff including toddler 1!

My children have been attending from a very young age and am glad with how they have progressed verbally as well as in making relationships. They interact well with others and have done well in their coordination.

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.
