The nursery features age-specific rooms with carefully picked resources to stimulate and engage your child. Babies benefit from three separate areas within their room, including a quiet sleep room. The Nursery room features exciting, educational activities and additional toilet training facilities. This allows them to support your child’s emerging independence.

Creativity is encouraged at the art station and sensory tables, and they have a dedicated area to support emotional wellbeing. An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

All children enjoy the large outdoor space, with four separate gardens including a garden dedicated to growing plants and vegetables. There is also plenty of shade to be had in the woodland nature garden.

They serve excellent, nutritionally balanced food, prepared daily by the onsite chef using fresh ingredients. The Creative Cooks activities also aim to install healthy food choices at a young age.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the progress that my son has made at this nursery, especially in babies and toddlers and I am very happy with the progress he is already making in the 2-3s room and how settled he is now in there. Management is very helpful and supportive. Very happy with the nursery and would definitely
recommend.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.436) out of 10 for Bright Horizons The Park 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.892 for Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.892
  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 4.544 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 10 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 = 3.75
    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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.794
  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.
