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...

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

My son goes to the after school club and the holiday club in half term. All the ladies there are fabulous and as a working mom it's one less thing to worry about knowing my son is in such an educational fun and caring environment. He always leaves with a big smile on his face. I can't fault the nursery they have been amazing this past year.

Review from Bethany (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Such a fantastic setting.
The ladies that work there are friendly and inviting and you can clearly see they care a great deal about my son.
They support him with his learning and development and any issues that arise from his home life.
They are also supportive of me as a parent, knowing how much hard work my son can be at times they always have a listening ear and great advice.
The setting is extremely clean and if you go in at certain times you can see them cleaning up and tidying away after certain activities.
The boards on the walls are kept up to date regarding the children's work topics and also regarding staff members.
The outdoor play area is fantastic. There are always learning stations set out for the children to explore.

The meals and snacks they offer the children are balanced and a good variety.

Overall Experience

Bright kids is a lovely, caring and happy environment for children to grow and develop within. The staff are welcoming, helpful and always have time to talk about your child. The learning experiences for children are of a high standard and the progress my child has made is fantastic. My daughter loves going to Bright Kids and has made special bonds with the staff. What more could a parent ask for?

Overall Experience

Bright Kids at Crabbs Cross is a fantastic, safe environment for children and mine have been very happy here in nursery and breakfast/after-school clubs. The staff are wonderfully competent and caring, showing real affection to the children and being an integral part of their upbringing. As a full time working Mum, there is the eternal guilt of leaving your children with carers whilst you go to work but I can honestly say Bright kids have made this a lot easier and my children love to attend. I would highly recommend

Overall Experience

My son has been at Bright Kids Crabbs Cross since he was 12 months old. He's been through nursery and preschool there and now goes to the before and after school club. He has always been happy to go there, the care is second to none and the activities and facilities are great. He's made some great friends and we can't recommend the staff highly enough!

Paula Cooper
Paula CooperJob Title:ManagerJoined: 2020

Paula joined Bright Kids in May 2020 and brings many years of experience in early years practice and leadership. Before moving to Crabbs Cross, she worked as Nursery Manager at Bright Kids Evesham, an Outstanding-rated nursery, and previously managed another Outstanding nursery for ten years.

She holds a Level 3 qualification in Childcare and a Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management. Her experience includes both nursery management and working directly with children across all early years age groups, giving her a strong understanding of what children, families and practitioners need to thrive.

She is particularly passionate about supporting children with special educational needs and ensuring every child feels understood, included and able to reach their full potential. She believes that strong relationships, consistent leadership and a nurturing environment are at the heart of high-quality early years care.

Lorraine Ashford
Lorraine AshfordJob Title:Deputy ManagerJoined: 2000

Lorraine has been part of the Bright Kids family for more than 27 years (when we first opened our Bright Kids Studley setting), beginning her career as a Nursery Assistant with a Childcare Diploma and progressing through a variety of roles into nursery leadership.

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."

Katie Doughty
Katie DoughtyJob Title:Deputy ManagerJoined: 2014

Katie has been part of the Bright Kids team since 2014, beginning her early years career through an apprenticeship and steadily progressing through a variety of roles. Over the years, she has worked as a Room Leader, Senior Practitioner and Third in Charge before moving into her current position as Deputy Manager.

Before joining Bright Kids, she spent three years working as a private nanny, which gave her valuable experience of supporting children and families within their own homes.

She is passionate about continuing to develop as an early years leader and in August 2025, Katie completed her Early Years Leadership qualification.

She said, "I am excited to begin a new mastery course in September 2026 to further strengthen my knowledge and practice. I have a genuine passion for working with children and feel privileged to watch them grow in confidence, discover their interests and develop into their own unique characters. I believe every child deserves to feel known, valued and encouraged throughout their early years."

Outside of nursery, Katie is a mum of three and enjoys walking, swimming and spending quality time with her family and friends.
