  • Bright Kids Crabbs Cross, Redditch
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has progressed so much since being at the nursery. Every time I pick her up she has done a range of activities during the day and tells me about all the friends she has played with. My daughter loves all the staff and talks about the fun she has. I believe this shows the positive influence
they all have on her and her progress. I would highly recommend Bright Kids and would not want her anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves to go to nursery. He has many friends. Always when I come and pick him up I can see that he is playing and enjoying activities. He always ate his food and told me what he was doing. My child loves the members of staff. Everybody is kind. I feel that my child is safe in nursery and happy.
I feel calm when I'm going to work because I know I leave him in good hands. Thank you Bright Kids at Crabbs Cross!

My son no longer attends nursery because he has started school this year. I was very happy with the nursery so much that my child now attends out of school club at nursery which he enjoys and I feel happy knowing he will be looked after well and knows the staff and some of the children who are still
at nursery.

My little girl started just two months ago, she has come on so much and seems to really enjoy it. I was very scared about leaving her but the nursery have met all my needs, and helped me out with longer days at short notice when needed.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 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
  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 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:

    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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 14 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.
