Fabulous care and attention. Our son has allergies and the time taken to ensure he never misses out is fabulous. He enjoys every day and so excited on a Monday morning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has settled well since day 1 at this nursery, helping to alleviate worries of when Mom returned to work. Being shift workers the nursery is very understanding and helpful. Our daughter will stay here until she goes to school, with another child on the way at least the nursery hunt won't
be needed this time around. Super staff, brilliant outdoor play area and facilities, couldn't ask for more our daughter LOVES nursery and we're happy too.

What can I say? This nursery lives up to it's Ofsted status - Outstanding. Choosing a nursery for your child is possibly one of the hardest decisions, certainly one of the hardest I've made. The decision to put my son here is one I'll never regret. He has been here now for over 2 and a half years. The
staff are friendly, approachable, professional and most of all they care for my son while I'm at work. The relationship he has with staff is second to none. I trust them implicitly and know he has amazing experiences whilst he is there.

My little boy has just been toilet trained and staff at the nursery have been a huge support - they took away the stresses for him and mummy! Therefore, a stage that I was dreading was done with ease. He only went into pre-school in August and loves all of his friends and staff - as does mummy. Thank
you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've had two older children attend this nursery from babies through to pre-school and never hesitated when choosing a childcare provider for my 8-month-old baby to select this nursery as my preference. The staff do not frequently change or leave like other nurseries and therefore they are happy and
dedicated in their workplace. All of my children have excelled socially, interpersonally, emotionally and educationally as a result of having this childcare provider in their earlier years.

We have had our three children come through Asquith Springfields Pre-School & Day Nursery and we have received nothing other than fantastic customer service and communication from all staff. Their childcare is second to none and we can leave our children in complete confidence that they are happy and
well-cared for. Activities they partake in are educational and focuses specifically on each child's individual development. Happy children, happy parents!

I cannot rate Asquith Springfields Pre-School & Day Nursery highly enough! The staff are fantastic both in their roles as carers and dealing with parents. Everyone who works here is friendly, approachable, professional and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much! In terms of my son's care, he loves his time
here and he makes noticeable progress regularly. He is happy and cared for and his development is the priority of all the staff he comes into contact with. Both the food and premises are outstanding. A fantastic nursery!

My daughter has been at Asquith Springfields Pre-School & Day Nursery for one year. Since this time, my daughter has noticeably developed in all areas. Asquith Springfields Pre-School & Day Nursery are exceptional at communication with both children and parents. All staff are wonderful and always approachable.
Staff at Asquith Springfields Pre-School & Day Nursery are a great team whom I trust with my daughter. I can't imagine my daughter attending any other nursery.

My daughter started a new year in her new room (preschool). She was looking forward to it over the holidays but seemed reluctant once she actually started. This didn't last long though due to the amazing staff at the nursery/preschool. My daughter now looks forward to seeing her keyworker every day
and sometimes doesn't want to leave!

Springfields is amazing! The level of care is outstanding. My boys have loved every minute of their time at Springfields - they have been loved and cared for every day and have never wanted to leave. The staff at Springfields should be very proud of their outstanding reputation and the gorgeous relationships
they form with all the children. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.769) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Springfields 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.852 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 119 number of registered child places is 23.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.8 = 0.252
  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.
