My daughter has attended nursery since May 2017. She has developed in so many ways watching her grow into a funny confident little girl and I believe attending Basildon Day Nursery has helped. The love and care she gets off of the staff reassure me and her daddy knowing she really enjoys coming and
has so much fun.
She is now trying so hard to talk also showing great interest in toilet training. The progress she is making is amazing. Thank you.

My child receives excellent care from all staff at the nursery, she is really settled and regularly talks about the staff and children at home. She tells me about all the activities she carries out and her favourite ones are exploring playdough and playing in the sand tray. Her development has really
improved along with her speech and I feel that is down to the staff interactions and the learning that they provide. I would like to thank everyone who has helped my little girl settle so well into the nursery.

The organisation of the graduation ceremony for the preschool leavers was fantastic. The staff have done an amazing job of preparing the children for the day. You can see how much the children love their key person and the staff were visibly moved by the events.

Both of my boys have now been through Asquith Basildon Day Nursery with a lot of the same staff. They have both come out as happy and confident children thanks to the support and encouragement they have received.

My son has come a long way in this nursery. The care provided by the staff is excellent. My son did not get adjusted to any other nursery in Basildon bu the has settled well in this nursery. The staff have been so patient and took good care to bring up the child in every aspect. Special care was also
provided to kids who need extra attention. Thank you so much for all your service and help.

Asquith Basildon Day Nursery is a very caring and loving place to leave your children at. The staff make the kids feel like they are going to an extended family. The 'Little Minors' are always kept busy.

My experience with Asquith Basildon Day Nursery is over 10 years and I cannot recommend them enough. You really do get the care, support and help to ensure your baby in my case babies are looked after at the highest levels. My son needed extra care and support around lunch time and this is actually
what we got. I cannot thank the staff enough for their patience and understanding the individual child's needs. I would recommend anyone to Asquith Basildon Day Nursery.

We have had the privilege of sending both our children to this amazing nursery. The staff here not only helped us turn our babies into beautiful children, they have cared for our children like they were their family. From the moment we walked through the door, to their graduation to leave for school,
they have learnt so much. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

We have found the nursery to be excellent for our child. He struggled when he first started but once he became familiar with his keyworker he has thrived and looks forward to going to preschool three days per week. He's also made a lot of friends which he will continue to see once he leaves.

My child has been cared for at Asquith Basildon Day Nursery since he was 6 months and he's always enjoyed his time and he is well looked after. The carers have on all occasions let me know what he has been up to during his day and keep him busy with various activities. I am pleased to recommend the
nursery to others as I feel that my child has been given amazing care and support here.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Basildon Day Nursery and Preschool 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.927 for Bright Horizons Basildon Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.927
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Basildon 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.8
  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.
