Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has been incredible from the start! The transition from maternity leave to working full time, meaning my child went to nursery full time was really tough but having an app that staff regularly update throughout the day helped a lot.
The staff have been outstanding when helping with issues
outside of the nursery too.
My child thoroughly enjoys going and has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space thanks to the lovely staff. My child has an amazing bond with the regulars in his room, especially his key worker.
The staff are all always so friendly, greeting you at the door at drop off and pick up. They have all the time at pick up to tell you about your child’s day too. The food they eat is great too! Amazing variety, probably better than I would do at home!
I couldn’t recommend them enough.

My son has been attending Bright Horizons Chineham park since September 2021.
He is coming on leaps and bounds since starting the nursery. I love dropping him off in the mornings, knowing he will be well looked after and have lots of fun all day long.
The app is great and staff update it every day
with photos and messages about your child, I look forward to seeing my son's photos so much!
They also update it with meal times so you can see what your child has eaten at what times throughout the day.
The staff are brilliant, they are always happy to help and make me feel really reassured that my son has the best care.
My son has started speaking recently and now says someone is his best friend at nursery which is really sweet.
The kids are allowed out to play in the garden whenever they want, they dress up for special occasions and even got an Easter egg from the Easter bunny recently.
They do baking in a cute little kitchen especially for the kids, which my son loves.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Chineham Park Day Nursery since July 2021, since he was two years and ten months old. Since he has started, the difference in his development has improved drastically. He wasn’t talking as much and struggled to build relationships with new people, children and adults. Within such
a short space of time, he is a different child. He is now putting complex sentences together, as well as forming friendships with others. He is also starting to manage his feelings and emotions much better, and isn’t having so many ‘tantrums.’ My plan is to keep my son here until he starts school in September 2023 as he has thrived so much already, and I look forward to seeing him in two years time. Thank you to everyone who has looked after him so far.

My son has been attending Bright Horizons Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool for one year. Since joining Bright Horizons Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool, he has literally come on leaps and bounds. He is so happy, confident and he is always so enthusiastic to attend preschool. He runs in
every day and just has so much fun, his day is packed full of educational activities and building fantastic relationships with his peers and the fabulous staff at Bright Horizons Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool. I really cannot recommend Bright Horizons Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool enough. An absolutely brilliant nursery and preschool setting, fantastic facilities, amazing outside space with a huge garden. All of the staff are so friendly and approachable. I can focus on my day ahead with every confidence in Bright Horzions Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool that my son is very very well cared for. I cannot thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started in January 2019. As a mum who has worked in previous nurseries over the years, you get to see the majority of nurseries have their pros and cons. However, I honestly can say I have nothing bad to say about this nursery whatsoever. The preschool team are absolutely amazing and have
made me feel so comfortable and are just amazing with my daughter. They literally go above and beyond. The nursery setting is great, it has everything needed to support your child’s development. My daughter goes to school in September and I can genuinely say I’m sad to be leaving such a fab, loving, caring team. Every morning the manager and deputy manager make you and your child feel so welcome. The chef is such a lovely lady who comes out of her way to greet me and speak with me herself regarding my daughter's dietary requirements which I think it’s so important to me as a parent. I can’t thank the managers and preschool team enough!

Our son started nursery in April 2018 and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are wonderful with him and so loving and caring. I know he is well looked after and that gives me great peace of mind when I'm at work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very anxious about our son's first experience at the nursery being a young 13 month old. He, however, was taken care of really well. We can see him learn and become more comfortable and confident with each passing week.
We would especially like to appreciate one member of staff in particular
for her care and devotion to our son.
He would not have settled as quickly if there wasn't the support provided by her.

My son is very happy in pre-school. He is looking forward to going in the mornings. He has friends and picking up words each day.
It is nice to see management to be "hands-on". I would say nursery has improved since 4 years ago when my daughter was there.
Well done to all lovely staff and management.
Thank you.

The preschool is wonderful. They are friendly and caring and really engage with the children. When the children have an issue from home, the staff help find a solution to the issue where possible that can be used while the child is at preschool which makes such a difference to the child and the parents.


My child has learnt so much being in preschool.

Really love this nursery, not only recently but since 2011 when my eldest son came here. My son enjoys his time at the nursery. Nice teachers look after him especially when he is moved from room to room. Nice food and clean place to stay with friendly talking all the time.


I totally recommend here

as my two boys really enjoy here and we are highly appreciated.

I have personal experience at the nursery for the last 6 years. In the preschool room, ALL staff show such enthusiasm and dedication to their role. They have all treated my children with care and attention. I never feel uncomfortable or concerned about leaving my children in their care. A recent example
is the school transition and making sure my daughter remains with her closest friend and this is communicated at school.

Our second son will be leaving preschool in September having been at the nursery since he was 9 months old. His older brother was here for the same period of time. Our experience has been wonderful, the staff are warm and nurturing and form really good bonds with all of the children. The facilities
are really good and improving all the time. We will all miss the staff, the friends we have made here and the great food!

My daughter has been at Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 5 months old. We looked at many nurseries but the staff in this nursery were clearly the best. The nursery was completely renovated and this was done to a high standard. So many gems. It's so tough leaving your baby with anyone
but the staff here really care and not only put my daughter at ease but me as a parent too!

What can I say other than it's a pleasure everytime I walk through the door in the morning. All I see is a building full of smiles and that's not just from the children.
Oh, how I am going to miss this all when my son leaves in September. Happy, happy days.

My children have attended Bright Horizon, Chineham since under 1 yrs of age, right up to school age. I highly recommend the nursery. The staff are friendly, attentive to each child's needs and happy to help and offer advice whenever they can. The nursery has managed to retain its staff too which is
a good sign.
The Chef is great and both my boys enjoyed the food prepared there. It is clean, tidy and nicely redecorated and welcoming. Overall, I think the nursery has done a great job in preparing my children for school and I am pleased I chose to send them here.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As an all-rounder, my son is well cared for and one of our concerns have been dealt with and resolved very quickly. I do however feel that considering how much the fees are as well as a recent increase in them that the portion sizes are far too small per child for the amount of money us parents pay.
My son often comes home feeling hungry. The new refurbishment is beautiful.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.139)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.139) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Chineham Park 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.969 for Bright Horizons Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.969
  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 4.17 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.37
  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.
