Review from Anna G (Mother of Child) published on 26 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son is very happy in the nursery room. The staff are lovely and he is well looked after. They encourage him to take part in activities and talk to him about his family. He eats well (always second helpings!) so we assume the food is good! We were delighted to hear that some refurbishment works are
taking place as that will improve the appearance massively. The building itself is in need of some TLC so it is great that this has been recognised and the investment is being made. The outside play area improvements that were carried out a couple of years ago have made a huge difference and the children love playing outside in all winds and weathers.

My son has attended this nursery since January 2016. I have been extremely happy with the care he has received. The staff really care about the children and engage fully with them. They have a great outdoor space/garden where the children play in all weathers. The staff communicate well with the parents
and I can totally recommend this nursery.

We have been very happy with my son's care at this nursery. The staff are caring and I have been impressed with how well they have got to know my son on an individual basis. They keep me well informed as to how he has been each day at nursery. This gives me peace of mind whilst I am at work.
I feel
he is in safe hands and I am glad he is at this nursery.

We can't praise this nursery enough. It was one of the best decisions we ever made to send our 2 girls here. The staff are really amazing and they really care for the children. Educationally, it is excellent. Food is nutritious and tasty. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Review from Helen F (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both my eldest children have attended the nursery. My eldest started in 2012 and my middle son in 2015. I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the staff, their dedication to the children and the warmth with which they provide their care. In particular, the enthusiasm of one particular
member of staff in preschool/nursery has brought my very shy second son out of his shell. I also appreciate the effort they put into a variety of activities which has meant both children are well prepared for school - which was evidenced by my eldest adapting to Reception well in 2016.
The chef is also great and takes care to provide the children with a varied menu, including plenty of vegetables.
Since the refurbishment of the garden, the outdoor space is also great in all weather which is good given the extremes of temperature we have seen in recent years!
Finally, I should mention that the managers do a great job, and welcome you when you join.
Highly recommend!

My two children thoroughly enjoyed their time at nursery so far. My eldest has now gone on to school and I feel she has had excellent preparation, enabling a smooth and relayed transition. My youngest still attends and is very happy. The nursery had a wonderful nurturing environment and staff are kind,
caring and professional.

Our son started at Asquith aged one and during the five months that he's been going regularly he's developed and learned lots. The staff are friendly, approachable and helpful and our son is really enjoying his time at Asquith.

We have been really pleased with the support we have received in settling in our baby boy. We were anxious at the start but as soon as we saw how caring the staff are, this all went away. Our boy is having great days and achieving very good development milestones. It's also great to have parent evenings
to come and discuss his progress in a bit more detail.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What I like best is the experience of the staff and the relatively low turnover, which means great continuity for my son.
The activities and themed weeks have been great and we like to continue this at home.
I like that the staff are always looking to try something new.
The garden is a huge plus
- fantastic space, ride on's, slide, vegetable patch and climbing frames.

Review from Kim C (Mother of Child) published on 7 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter began settling in sessions in October 2016. We decided to send her to the Haslemere Pre-School & Day Nursery based on their fantastic facilities, garden space and the caring and professional staff we met. Their ethos mirrors our own when it comes to what we expect from those caring for and
teaching our daughter. My daughter started in the nursery following settling in sessions and adjusted well. The staff in the nursery are amazing with her, she has grown so much socially in the time she has been with them. She is moving up to pre-school, already I can see that having a positive impact on her. We could not be happier with the standard of care and communication we receive from the nursery and believe we 100% made the right decision to send her there. The progress she has made from the shy girl she was is noticeable to all of our family and friends. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, professional and caring environment for their child to thrive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our first few weeks at the nursery, from settling in sessions to beginning at the nursery have been well managed with staff that are all so friendly, in the baby and toddler room plus the management of the nursery. The staff are very caring and always willing to give cuddles to help settle mu daughter
plus ask questions in order to get to know her needs better. As a first-time mum having to leave my 1-year old for the first time, the staff have made a difficult situation much more comforting and reassuring knowing they are so caring and competent.

Both my daughters attend Haslemere. My oldest has been attending since she was 9 months and is now in the pre-school. She has flourished becoming increasingly confident and interested in the world around her. They have weekly themes in the pre-school and my daughter comes home full of facts and ideas
about these. There are lots of craft/art activities related to the themes. The key workers care about her and she is always excited to see them. The food is excellent and varied. I am so pleased we chose Haslemere as I love watching her excitement when she gets ready for and arrives at pre-school.

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.
