My son loves going to the Elvetham Heath Day Nursery and his development has improved so much. My son has been going since April and is now in the pre-school class Frogs, his key worker is caring and has a good relationship with her children. The other nursery teacher, who also works in Frogs, has
such a good nature it's not a surprise the children adore her.


The management team are friendly, they go to all lengths to help parents and reassure them through difficult times. The manager has a family feel to her, I'm sure other parents would agree but I feel I can talk to Tomi about anything.


I'd recommend the Day nursery to any parent, they are very helpful in all aspects. My son raves about the food and activities, he enjoys stretch and grow and his lessons.

We have been very pleased with the consistently high standard of care which our child has received since joining the nursery. There is a very genuine interest taken by the staff in all aspects of the child's care and in supporting their development at nursery and home. The regular parents evening
is a great way to support 2 way communication.
We love the kids kitchen and soft play areas which are innovative ways to extend the indoor space. The rooms feel large and spacious.
Our child is extremely happy here , settled very quickly and enjoys the food!

We are so pleased we chose Elvetham Heath Nursery for our children. The care, attention and educational development has been superb. In particular, our daughter's key worker has been all we could have asked for for our daughter. In addition our older daughter loves her time in the pre-school and her
development has been down to a close relationship between us as parents and the staff in the rooms she has progressed through. I couldn't think of a better place for our children to start their exciting journey in education.

I couldn't be happier with Elvetham Heath Day Nursery, I knew from the first time I went to visit it was the right one to send my daughter to, it has such a homely/family feel about it. My daughter loves her days there and always does so many activities, I love the day book that gives an update on
what she has been up to each day including what she has eaten and when she took her nap, even more so when they include photographs. I know I never need to worry, even when she cries at drop off, I know that someone will contact me to reassure me she was ok after I left.


My daughter loves her and trusts her key person so much, I know she is in safe hands and happy there with her. She is great with her and knows her little ways and even notices little things like a new outfit or new pair of shoes, these little things mean so much and just add to the reassurance that she is in the best nursery.


The whole team in general there are great and so friendly, they make you feel like part of their family :) x

My little girl always has a great time at the nursery. The staff are really friendly and very good with the children. I regularly request extra sessions due to my husband's shifts. They are very good at accommodating us. I have recommended the nursery to many friends and will continue to do so.

Our son has been at EH Day Nursery for three years now and is currently in pre school there. He has, without doubt, enjoyed all his time there. We are more than satisfied with the level of support he receives and his development has been very good indeed. I'm so so impressed with the pre school team
in particular, they are really fabulous. Specifically the presence of a qualified pre school teacher and the ability to have language teaching mean we are very happy to be able to send our gorgeous boy there and that he has a really exciting year to look forward to now before big school starts!

My daughter has been at Elvetham Heath Nursery since she was 7 months old, her progression over the last year has been amazing and this is due to the professional staff.
The staff are extremely dedicated, caring and have a genuine passion for teaching.
I know when I am at work my daughter is in a
safe and happy environment.
The best moment of my working day is when I get a surprise email from the nursery with pictures telling me of how much fun she is having.
The facilities are great with outside play area, soft play, painting, use of iPad and so much more.
All meals and snacks are of the highest standard and my daughter loves them often having seconds!!
I can't praise this nursery enough, as a first time mum going back to the workplace, Elvetham Heath nursery have made everything a lot easier.

Review from Niki K (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Let me start by saying my son has been attending EH nursery for over a year and moved into 2 different classes as he got bigger. He has loved his key people and their assistants so much that I don't have to worry about dropping him off. Even after he has moved on the staff that used to look after him
pop in to say hi and for a cheeky cuddle, or say hello when we bump into them outside.


Not only does he get to do a lot of fun and interesting stuff inside like play with toys, art, stories, singing and messy play but they make every effort for him to have outdoor fun, whether that is playing in their garden, day trip to the local pond/park or even bringing in special visitors like farm animals/spiders or your local firemen. He has also enjoyed baby yoga since he was 8-9 months old and really loves bopping around when he can.


Last month I came in to pick him up after a long day in front of the computer and there he was in some home-made glasses (from piping) that just was priceless, instant pick-up! No doubt he loved it, the staff all loved it and my whole family/friends on facebook loved it too. It's the little things like this that make you feel like they are giving him the attention he needs.


I could give a standard write up about this nursery but I think most parents want something more than generic and read something that sets the nursery apart. My son, like your child no doubt, is the most precious thing/being in my world so I will only choose something to the highest standard to look after him and help him grow. I believe the staff here do their job well but some go even beyond that and make sure he feels part of the family.

My Daughter has been attending the Elvetham Heath Nursery for the past few months. The staff are very friendly and my daughter has become very close to them.
She loves all of the different activities they plan each week and the toys in their new baby room are fantastic, plus there is so much space
to crawl about!
The meals are very nutritious and varied even with my daughter's dairy allergy.

From the age of 11 months, our son has attended the Nursery and absolutely loves it. Now 16 months, I have seen so much development in his everyday skills, and love hearing about all the activities he gets up to throughout the day including the amazing food choices!
The staff at the Nursery and in
his room are wonderful and look after the children as if they were their own.


The Nursery is clean and inviting to both children and parents. I am so happy we sent our son here and would recommend this nursery to friends and family who are looking for the best child care in the area.

Both my children attended from babies to pre-school and flourished in the supporting and caring atmosphere. The staff take time to get to know the children as individuals and encourage and help parents to contribute to their learning. The nursery has good outdoor space and the children get to participate
in a broad range of activities.

My little boy stared here in September 2015 after needing to change his setting. I was, at first, apprehensive. I even felt guilty going to work and leaving him. I have to say that it's the best decision I made for him, he skips in every morning without a care in the world leaving me to get to work
guilt free. He has come on leaps and bounds and has started to become more independent as well as showing off what he has learnt during the day. The staff are brilliant from the ladies in the office to all the nursery team that look after the children directly. Nothing is too much trouble and any concerns or questions I have are immediately answered. Excellent preschool and Nursery setting and I would highly recommend anyone to enroll their children here.

My daughter, 12 months old, has recently joined the nursery and the staff have been very empathetic to both my wife and my daughter. It is a hard transition when starting nursery but the reassurance that she has had a great day with lots of fun activities is fantastic. The feedback at the end of the
day is very informative and detailed. They have recently undergone a refurbishment that has meant the baby room is a lot bigger and more resourceful. Thank you for all your hard work and ensuring my daughter is safe on a daily basis.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Fleet 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.878 for Bright Horizons Fleet Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (416 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 467 Ratings = 4.878
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Fleet Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 39 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 39 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
