Bright Kids Crabbs Cross in Redditch Worcestershire has been based in the heart of the community since September 2001. They provide a spacious play environment for children aged from birth to eleven years all on one site.

Youngsters all have their own age-appropriate indoor and outdoor play areas. Facilities include, but are not limited to, extensive garden, friendship hut, adventure climbing area, and a Forest School area. In 2020 the nursery went through a refurbishment when it bought the adjoining house and developed it into further indoor space for the children, moving the office and creating a baby garden.

Bright Kids has a philosophy of learning through play, children work and play together in small groups to develop skills and knowledge to become independent learners for life. They stimulate children's curiosity with their unique authentic resources which absorb and intrigue them.

My little boy has been at Bright Kids for the last 3 months and I am very happy with the overall service staff have provided. He has some additional needs and I feel they have managed these extremely well, he actually comes out of nursery happy! The environment is great, I love the spacious inside and
outside play areas. I would definitely recommend.

My son has been at Bright Kids since September 2021, he enjoys going and has good relationships with the staff. The staff are all friendly and keen to help. I feel it it a nurturing place where he can explore, make friends and grow. There are a variety of different activities available for him that
change through the year so he doesn't get bored. The staff cater activities for the individuals interests which is super. My son is a picky eater so is allowed to bring his own lunch but has the nursery snacks which I think he likes.

My two children have been attending Bright Kids Crabbs Cross since they were small toddlers (they’re now almost 10 and 11) and have gone from being looked after in the nursery to attending the holiday clubs during the school holidays. Several of the staff have been there with them for over a decade
and my two really look forward to seeing the familiar faces every time. The management is always so accommodating with availability and flexibility for the holidays which is a great help. The kids have the chance to do a variety of activities and are also given a bit more responsibility if they want it, helping to clear up and choose activities which they enjoy. They both look forward to the hot dinners and snacks too! I’d have no hesitation in recommending the holiday club to anyone needing somewhere stimulating, reliable and safe to leave their kids whilst at work.

Brilliant nursery, my son is always eager and happy to go there Monday to Friday. He has a speech delay and has come a long way since joining last year, he’s really making progress with his speech and becoming such a confident young boy.

Where to start with this fabulous Nursery.
My son absolutely loves attending here, he goes Monday to Friday and the difference in his speech and development in just a year is incredible.
The setting is truly “outstanding” and lives up to the Ofsted reports.
Thank you thank you thank you a hundred
times over to the brilliant staff who make my son's week just that bit brighter.

Bright Kids, Crabbs Cross is the best nursery. My daughter is very happy over there. She improved her speech very quickly, although English was not her first language. She talks about her friends at the nursery and how great the day was. I can see her progressing in many aspects. She is receiving great
support every day. We are very appreciated. All ladies are doing brilliant work. Thank you. You are all fantastic!

My child has been at this nursery since she was 2 years old. We actually started using this nursery while we were going through the pandemic. The staff were so amazing. We still got to see the nursery setting (Of course, following all restrictions). My child was very shy and didn't really know how to
interact with her peers due to lockdown. The staff were so accommodating, went at her pace and honestly now she's an outgoing child who absolutely loves nursery. I can't praise all the staff enough. They are absolutely amazing! I love the fact I'm kept up to date with everything. I don't feel like I'm missing out on my child's milestones.

A member of the staff has been excellent with my daughter especially with how clingy she has started to become with her. She tells me that she’s started to become more independent whilst playing with others and doesn’t need to be encouraged.

My son started Bright Kids, Crabbs Cross when he was nearly 8 months old. He is now 18 months and loves being around his key workers. They are absolutely amazing with him.
Having a child during Covid was tough and so we were especially impressed with the care and attention the ladies at Bright Kids
gave to our son. They have listened and have really cared when we’ve asked for help or guidance. We think they are a lovely bunch and my husband and I couldn’t think of a better place for our little boy to be.

My son has attended Bright Kids since Last April and he has come on leaps and bounds since. He looks forward to going and is sad at the weekends when he cannot attend. His social skills have developed really well and he is always coming home with new ideas, or a new friend he has played with. Even if
he has had a difficult day he is met with kindness and the team put in place ways to help him tackle these difficulties such as quiet time or researching how we handle big emotions with him at home. I cannot find any fault with this nursery. They give him snacks, they give him activities, they broaden his knowledge and feed his inquisitive mind. What a wonderful team! Will definitely be looking to send my youngest when the time comes.

My son has been attending Bright Kids Crabbs Cross for over 2 years now. I would never want to send him anywhere else he is so happy there. My experience is that every member of staff there cares about each child as an individual. He is learning all the time there as well as having lots of fun. As a
household with a parent in the emergency services they are incredibly flexible and understanding with our schedule. Will definitely be looking to send any future children there too.

We love Bright Kids Crabbs Cross! All three of my sons have been going since 2013. They all love it, it’s like our extended family! All the staff are lovely and caring and throughout lockdown, they have all been fab and so helpful & accommodating to our needs.
My two boys currently attending love
all the activities they do, the different rooms and outside space they get to play in and the routine of the day. They always have so much fun. I can’t believe how well they have developed so Thank you!!

Very pleased with staff/management and how they got our son a place so quickly and the communication for the dates I need. Where 100% so glad our son loves the place as taken to the staff. Our son has ASD but staff said he is very talkative and well mannered since he has been there for the last few
days. I am happy with the organisation and how it is run. We will use this establishment for the future trust of our son.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for Bright Kids Crabbs Cross is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.904 for Bright Kids Crabbs Cross is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.904

  • b) 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 Kids Crabbs Cross is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
