  • Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool, Maidstone
Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is a proud Eco-friendly nursery, reflected in its achievement of the Eco Schools flag, proudly displayed outside the building.

The nursery emphasises fostering independence across all age groups. Rolling mealtimes are practiced in every room, and self-serving is introduced even in the Baby Room to encourage autonomy from an early age.

Children of all ages participate daily in Boogie Mites, an interactive music activity designed to enhance every child's learning and development, particularly supporting communication and language skills.

The nursery features two expansive outdoor spaces with large climbing frames, including a Castle and a Pirate Ship, providing endless opportunities for imaginative play and physical development.

And while your child is busy exploring and having fun, the nursery will keep you updated via the Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep every parent connected with their child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time at the nursery.

For added convenience, drop-offs and pick-ups are made easy with accessible parking, a lay-by outside the nursery, and a spacious on-site car park.

Review from Aly S (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two children attend the nursery, one in the baby room, the other in the nursery room. We recently attended the family fun day we were invited to. The staff and nursery were exceptional on the day. We were able to experience and explore the nursery and pre-school at it's best. There is so much wonderful
space for the children, excellent resources, activities and opportunities for the children to play and thrive. We definitely made the right decision sending our children here, we feel part of it and always so welcomed. Thank you.

Review from R B (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are really happy and easy to talk to. My son is excited about the activities he takes part in, although I feel the farm could be used more. The outdoor space is great and my son loves all the food. Communication to parents is really good, but I would like to see more individual reviews with
parents to discuss my child's progress.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.942 for Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.942
  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 Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 26 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
