Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at the nursery are amazing, everyone I’ve met is so lovely and kind and the kids adore them. The nursery is well organised and the team come up with activities and events all the time and really make an effort. On first impressions, the nursery doesn’t look as smart as others in the area and
the facilities are tired but it’s due to have a refurb which will make a huge difference to the general feel of the nursery. Very happy with our experience so far.

My son has been at the nursery for 2 months and seems to be loving it. The carers give us regular updates through the app and the environment that the kids get to play in is safe, clean, and they look like they are having a great time! Really positive experience for a first-time, working parent.

We have our son with Bright Horizons, Haslemere for 2 years now. The team are really bubbly and kind.
I've been impressed with the interaction and updates on my son's day when arriving at nursery. There have been lots of new interesting activities for the children. We have been pleased to see the
variety of options and energy that has gone into planning the children's days.
Our son also has dietary requirements and the nursery are excellent at accommodating this.
Keep up the great work. Would definitely recommend the nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved to Haslemere 2 years ago and both our boys were new to the area. The team at Bright Horizons helped them settle from day 1. Our older boy is now at school and he still keeps saying that he misses the food there. He is not a big eater but I don't think there was a meal he refused while at nursery.
Our younger boy is still at nursery, and he was a bit shy and quiet when he joined. The team have been amazing at making sure he is included and we have all noticed how he has become a lot more chatty recently. He is loving all the indoor and outdoor activities they do although his favourite thing has been helping grow their own vegetables in the garden.

Our son is really happy at Bright Horizons Haslemere Day Nursery and Preschool, there's a great mixture of structured activities and play. The garden and outdoor space are fantastic - I love how they encourage the kids to be outside as much as possible. Most importantly, the staff are all really welcoming

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Four months in and our experience with Bright Horizons, Haslemere has been hugely positive. They have helped our daughter to settle in quickly and she is always very happily involved in some kind of play when we come to collect her. I think probably the most positive aspect for us is the team - they
are extremely friendly and relaxed (in a good way), which gives the feeling of a nurturing and safe environment. Equally, even though she is in the youngest age group, they seem to do lots of interesting activities each day. A big thank you to the manager and deputy manager and team. Would highly recommend.

Our child is now 3.5 years old and has been at Bright Horizons, Hazelmere for over two years. He started off part-time and is now full-time. He loves going to nursery and says that everyone there is his friend. We are very happy with the balance between learning and play and comfortable leaving him
at nursery each day. Looking forward to big school next year, where we are confident he will settle in well, thanks to all the time he has spent at Bright Horizons.

My almost 2-year-old daughter has been going to Haslemere, Bright Horizons, since she was 8 months old. She settled in really quickly and thoroughly enjoys her time there. She has a wonderful bond with the staff in her room and is always happy to go in. They do a variety of activities and have a fabulous,
large outdoor space. There is a really good app that they share details about her day to, which you can look at, when she's there. You can check what she's eaten, when she's slept, what activities she's been doing and they often upload photos of her having fun. I'm really pleased we choose to send her to Bright Horizons in Haslemere.

Care is always given to educate the children. I have noticed that my child's communication skills and understanding of words have improved, such as please and thank you, yes and no and "juice", for when he wants a drink. Most of these words and the sign language that goes with them have been learnt,
whilst at nursery.

This nursery is the one! I was so nervous for my daughter starting nursery, however as soon as you open the door, you get presented with the biggest smiles from all the staff members. The staff take such great care and are so gentle. My daughter goes in with a smile and returns the same.

I can't recommend this nursery enough! We were very nervous when selecting and the various ones in Haslemere all have different vibes, but we had a strong gut feeling about the staff here and it turned out amazing. They are all incredibly kind and over the years know our (now) 4 and 2 year old so well.
It's the small things, but they genuinely seem to care and look after them so well. Huge thanks to the deputy manager and 5 other members of staff in particular. You are real carers and extended parents to our two boys and they love going to the nursery so much. It's been very hard during the pandemic and the team have done everything to keep the circus going with a smile and all heart. It's made all the difference. I recommend this nursery to everyone we speak to!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.633)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.633) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Haslemere Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.633 for Bright Horizons Haslemere Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.633
  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 Haslemere Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
