Bright Kids Crabbs Cross has grown alongside generations of local families since opening in the heart of Redditch in 2001.

The nursery spans two adjoining buildings, creating generous indoor spaces for babies, toddlers and preschool children. Each age group has an environment designed around the way they move, communicate, play and learn, while babies also benefit from their own dedicated garden.

Outside, the extensive grounds offer much more than one shared play...

Review from L G (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a wonderful nursery, they inform you on their app what the children will be doing for the day and what they have eaten and how much. My son currently uses the morning and afternoon club, however, used to go to Bright Kids nursery when he was younger. My daughter is currently in preschool and my children's experience has always been a positive one. Both of my children love going and the staff are very welcoming and willing to talk to you about their progress and next steps. There is always plenty to do and the staff help them to develop skills so they can become independent. Overall, a great nursery with amazing staff that encourages children to thrive in their own way.

Overall Experience

My second child is currently on their journey through Bright Kids Nursery. I think the app is my new favourite addition this time around. You can view daily everything your baby has done, eaten and achieved. I love one staff member's weekly reviews which involves lots of lovely photos - I feel like I am not missing out when I am at work. The staff are all very attentive, caring and understanding of your child's needs and developments.

Overall Experience

My son has settled really well into nursery. The staff have been amazing and show great care for my son. The weekly updates of how he’s getting on, is a joy to read. I am constantly getting updates through the app, which is very reassuring and helps if I need to contact the nursery for any reason. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The bond he has formed with his key person is amazing and he looks forward to going into nursery everyday! I feel really comfortable and at ease when he’s at nursery, knowing he will be well cared for.

We have had a great experience with sending our son to Bright Kisa, Crabbs Cross. Communication has been very good throughout. The team are open and transparent with us as parents. They are also very responsive to me when I have any queries. The staff are wonderful - very friendly and welcoming. We get updates at the end of the day and a bigger update through the app. The staff go above and beyond to provide care for my child, which is reassuring as a parent.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Bright Kids is a wonderful nursery. My little girl has been with Bright Kids since October and I couldn’t be happier. She is truly thriving there and enjoys all the activities, especially the new sensory room. Staff are warm, friendly and form amazing relationships with the children.

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.

No negative things to say!

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Carlie H (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

She holds a Level 3 qualification in Childcare and a Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.

Over the years, she has continued to develop her knowledge and experience, achieving a Level 4 qualification in Early Years and a Level 5 qualification in Management. She also holds a designated senior leadership role within the nursery, helping to support the safety, wellbeing and development of the children and team.

Childcare has always been a true passion of Lorraine's. As a mum of two, she understands how important it is for families to know their children are cared for, encouraged and given every opportunity to develop at their own pace and reach their full potential.

She said: "One of the most special parts of working at Crabbs Cross for so many years has been watching generations of families grow with us. I have seen countless children thrive during their time at the nursery, and it is incredibly rewarding when some of those children return years later with children of their own. I feel very proud to be part of such a long-standing nursery community and to continue supporting our children, families and team each day."
