  • Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool, Bury St Edmunds
A WELCOMING AND ENRICHING NURSERY IN BURY ST EDMUNDS

The spacious Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool combines excellent facilities with caring, experienced staff to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.
Each light and airy room has an array of fun and educational resources to encourage curiosity and development. Children are inspired to learn through exploration and play, so babies discover new textures, sounds and sights with sensory play, and exciting music and movement sessions. Older children stretch their imagination in the role-play area, and employ critical thinking skills while playing with loose parts or constructing with building blocks.

All rooms at Bury St Edmunds nursery have freeflow access to the large multi-surfaced garden, giving children the option to enjoy nature at any time. Children love the wide-open space, balancing tyres and climbing frame. Younger children have a separate garden with soft flooring and a smaller climbing frame to help build their muscles and encourage their physical development.

The unique Ready for School programme supports children in their transition to primary school. They learn the basics of early reading, writing and mathematics, alongside creative pursuits in the nursery's Creative Cooks and Growing Artists enhancements. The team also teaches children to self-serve at mealtimes, use cutlery, make friendships and work together. The holistic approach to both academic and life skills helps children to develop confidence and interest in a wide range of areas.

The Nursery has all-inclusive fees which means you have less to pack on a busy morning, with all nutritious meals, snacks, nappies and wipes included in the fees.

The long-standing team would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit with the nursery today and they will show you all the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

Our boy has been with you for almost 4 years! We have felt that he is quite clever and has learnt lots. He is is a very social and confident boy and very polite. We feel that a great part of his learning journey so far is down to the nursery. You've done an awesome job in helping us raise our son. Well
done and definitely recommend anyone sending their child here!

From day 1 when our son transitioned to Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool, the care received and individualised learning and developing plan was outstanding. The staff are caring and know each child so well and is evident in the day to day interactions with them. The planned
activities are thoughtful and enjoyed by the children.

Over the past three years, we have seen the confidence and ability of our child develop fantastically.


The staff have always been caring and despite the morning drop-off being a tearful experience our child now happily goes to play with friends in the morning.

During our daughter's time here, we have always found Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool to be fantastic in all respects. We cannot fault the level of care. Staff are professional, friendly and always approachable.


Our little girl has thrived in her time here and we wouldn't

hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone else.


Our daughter will miss everyone at Tassel Road but I feel like she has been brilliantly prepared for going to school.

When my child started nursery, he was quite shy but teachers helped him get over that.


My child is always happy when he gets home from nursery. He is going for half a day but he would be happy to come for a full day.


Teachers are very helpful and friendly.

My son loves attending nursery and playing with all his friends he has made. The staff are excellent and couldn't be more helpful or supportive. He often doesn't want to leave to come home and talks about his experiences and his keyworker with affection and pride.


The best nursery and preschool!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. From the day my son started (at 9 months old) the compassion to my needs as a mummy and his needs as an inquisitive and active little boy have been met and exceeded daily.


The meals provided are never boring and always encouraged independence by self-serving

and helping to clear up which my little bot insists on doing daily at home too.


Their learning journals are amazing to read and all the girls at Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool are our hero!

My son has been with the nursery since he was one and he is now four. We are very pleased with his progress. He has come on in leaps and bounds. He has grown so much in confidence. The staff are welcoming and helpful and easy to talk to. There are always plenty of things for the children to do.
He is now ready for school!

My daughter loves coming to nursery. She has built up brilliant relationships with all the ladies she has worked with from the baby room to the 2-3-year-old room. The communication has always been good and if I have ever had any concerns then they have been dealt with quickly. I feel confident leaving
my daughter in the care of Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and have loved watching how she has developed and what she has learnt. Thank you, Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves coming to nursery, his confidence has increased so much and is always greeted with a warm welcoming from the nursery girls.
I am given detailed feedback about what fun things he has been doing, which is reassuring and comforting, especially when I know he can be a bit of a monkey.
The
management team are helpful and friendly and will greet us in the mornings. My son has a big soft spot for the deputy manager and I always find him having a cheeky cuddle.
Overall, I couldn't fault my son's care, he is very well looked after and extremely happy.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.563)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.563) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.944 for Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.944
  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 4.619 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.619
  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.
