Review from I B (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery is a very convenient location in the Science Park for parents working in the Park.
The staff are very friendly and we experienced very few changes in my child's key person.
They do have a lot of activities at the nursery.
However, I would love to see more photos or progress reports updated
on a parental portal as sometimes it can be difficult to obtain this information.
Overall, it's a good nursery and preschool that I would recommend to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff, especially in Unit 2, are exceptional. They go out of their way to help our daughter's needs get met. They are currently helping her with potty training and she has a wonderful rapport with them. They know she loves animals and offer to take her outside to find the 'birdies' if she is upset
that mummy is leaving and this distraction works without fail. She has a toothbrush at nursery and the staff will help her to brush her teeth and the nursery are amazing at catering for her vegan diet, which we feel extremely passionate about. Thank you!

Our daughter just started to come here. She's still in the adjustment period but the staff here take their time to make her feel welcome. Our daughter loves spending time with her key worker. I like the fact that the nursery organises picnics for the parents to get to know the nursery better. A wonderful
team.

Review from Ola O (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son settled in very well with the nursery. I think a big part of that was the two weeks induction period which gradually introduced him to the new situation. I can see that he truly likes his key person very much, and she is doing a fantastic job caring for him.
Kids are outside in the garden most
of the day, but when indoors they are exposed to a number of activities led by a different theme each week. He has his little book of progress and good notes are given out to parents each day. There are a lot of kids in the unit which firstly was a bit scary I think more for me than for him, but of course, there is always enough staff to take care of them. Lunches are interesting, exposing kids to different texture and flavours. Nursery - alongside other communications, issues a weekly newsletter which gives parents a bit of a heads up on what their little ones will be up to that week.

My son is always excited to attend nursery. He is always having a good time when I collect him. The staff obviously work very hard at building strong relationships with children. The children spend a lot of time outside but when they are inside the variety of activities - especially arts and crafts
based ones - is incredible.

Our daughter has attended Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park since she was 7 months old and has always enjoyed herself there. The staff in the baby room and the next room have always been helpful and attentive. It's also been wonderful to see her develop into a much more confident person.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son could only speak my own country's language so I was worried that he would be able to enjoy and talk with other children.
However, his skill of English is surprisingly improving and he sings some English songs even at home.
He seems to enjoy the activities at nursery like drawing and singing.

Since the Manager came back there is a big difference in the nursery. My son's development is amazing. Every day he is learning new things. There is much more variety in toys and books and the team are doing their best to support the children's development. Thank you to the Manager for making this place
different than it was. Thanks to you I was happy to bring my child every day.

My husband and I have had a very positive experience at the nursery. We have built a relationship with the nursery which has provided my daughter a safe place for her to spend time, by developing and growing.
We appreciate the staff's hard work and effort to maintain a good place for our daughter
to learn, gain confidence and develop new skills ready for reception.
My daughter has a special rapport with the staff, especially her keyworker.
We would like to say thank you to all staff members at Bright Horizons Cambridge.

We have loved sending our daughter here. She started when she was 9 months old and is just leaving now for school. She has always received excellent care from the kind and attentive staff and has lots of wonderful friends here. She loves the food and gets really lovely nutritious meals. We send our
little boy here too now and he loves it too.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.331)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.331) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 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 4.826 for Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.826
  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 4.505 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 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 109 number of registered child places is 21.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.8 = 0.505
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2019

I have worked within the childcare industry since 2009 and have immensely enjoyed every minute of it! I joined our Bright Horizons family in 2012, where I have continued to grow and develop within the company and gained my NVQ Level 3 qualification.


I have enjoyed the experience with all ages, but even more so with the younger children due to being a room leader in a baby room for 7 years. My passion is to thrive in exceptional parent and partnership, maintaining a good relationship with all parents and potential clients to ensure parents know they can approach me when necessary. I have a son who makes me proud every single day as he grows and develops with all the new skills he's learning. I am a bubbly, outgoing character who loves animals, especially horses, as I was brought up around them. This gives me a great excuse to explore the countryside with my family at the weekends. My son keeps me busy and enjoys visiting the zoo and farms in our spare time, too!
