Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost two and a half years now. The care she has received from all the staff has been fantastic. She's a very sensitive thing and being here has really brought her out of her shell. Since moving to the toddler room her confidence has increased so much,
this is down to the fantastic staff who work so so hard! Especially one member of staff who goes over and above whats expected of her, to ensure all the children enjoy their time here. My daughter moves room soon and she will be missed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have put both of my children through Asquith and cannot fault the love, care and attention they have given then ar every stage of their journey from the baby room through to pre-school. My youngest has just left and is so school ready, writing his name, learning through play and so many other skills.
The staff genuinely care and the feeling of one big family hits you as soon as you walk into the building. An outstanding nursery with outstanding staff, I didn't consider anywhere else. Thank you for everything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 6 months old. She had 2 months worth of settling in sessions so I was completely reassured when she started full time. She is doing very well there, she's only just turned 2 and can already count to 10. The staff in her room are brilliant and she loves
all of them so much. They keep me well informed and you can see how much they love all of the children. I would recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been part of this nursery for 2 years and she has learnt quite a lot.
She has learnt the art of talking more, numbers, alphabet and singing nursery rhymes.


Asquith has no doubt, set a foundation for our little ones.


We would definitely keep in touch with the staff of Asquith

and recommend them to other parents.


My rating for Asquith is 10/10.


Very friendly staff.

Our son has attended Asquith since he was 10 months old. He has just graduated and starts school in September.
We found Asquith staff to be very loving and caring towards our son.
Asquith is very professional but achieved a warm and caring environment and we felt that our son flourished here. We would
highly recommend Asquith and our son's little brother will commence at Asquith in the near future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery for over 3 years. The care she receives is excellent. The staff care about the children and really take time to get to know them and settle them.


The outside space is excellent and my daughter has really come on since starting.


Any concerns I have are dealt

with quickly and resolved to my satisfaction. Would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son came here from another nursery and it was the best decision I could have made.


Everyone was very welcoming and warm. My son felt "at home" and came out of his shell.


The people that work here clearly enjoy what they do and the children always come first and that is what helps them develop.


I

have the highest praise for the staff and I cannot thank them enough for the care that they have shown and recognise his personality and individuality.


I highly recommend the Basildon Dat Nursery.

My daughter has attended the nursery from the age of one until now and is about to leave for school. She has always been happy here, there are excellent facilities, the staff have always been friendly and approachable.
My daughter has even progressed with her swimming when undertaking lessons whilst
at nursery.
When I return to work, I will be sending her younger sibling to the nursery. I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to other friends/family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As an outstanding Ofsted rated nursery, there was never a question about our son attending Asquith. Although the entrie pre-school has been absolutely outstanding in their development of my son, there are several staff members that need to be commended highly as these individuals have been great.


Those

in the management team have proven to be epic.


Can't fault them. Top marks.

My daughter started this nursery at about 9 months old and has thoroughly enjoyed her time in each of the different rooms she has experienced.
The staff are all very friendly, caring and welcoming to both the parents and children. We are only leaving as we are moving house. We will miss all the staff
and the friends my daughter has made. Thank you for everything.

My child learnt a lot in Asquith over the few months and has enjoyed going to nursery every day. Staff members were very friendly and supportive. It would be good to provide some more monitoring while playing in the garden.

Wonderful staff who treat my little boy as an individual and with dignity. My little boy attended another nursery previously and it is at Asquith Basildon Day Nursery that I find my son progressed, developed and learned. My son is always happy because of the staff who have a lovely and calm demeanour.
I cannot recommend this lovely nursery enough. We are very happy!

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.
