  • Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool, Kenilworth
A STUNNING AND SPACIOUS NURSERY IN KENILWORTH

You and your family will love Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool. Set in a beautifully refurbished historic school building close to the countryside, every aspect has been thoughtfully designed to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

Each of the nursery's age-specific rooms has its own individual garden. The preschool room in particular has freeflow access to the garden, giving each child their choice of space. There is also a forest school and an allotment area for children to learn about growing their own vegetables and making healthy food choices.
Activities in the Baby Room are nurturing, with a focus on engaging their natural curiosity and developing motor skills, speech and confidence. The older children’s rooms are designed to encourage independence. From dedicated art areas to tables with big blocks that encourage experimental and investigative play, children are able to learn in whatever way best suits them.

This is an all-inclusive nursery which means all meals, snacks, nappies and wipes, are included. Your child will enjoy excellent, nutritionally balanced food that is prepared daily by the chef using fresh ingredients.
Ofsted have given Kenilworth Day Nursery a rating of Good in their most recent report (June 2018), stating the nursery as ‘a stimulating environment, indoors and out, that motivates children to use the resources and learn’.
The team look forward to showing you around the Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery continues to maintain it's very high standards.
It has recently gone through a renovation in the garden area which has improved the outdoor sections.
The themed activities are great and the children are doing new things every day. The days are structured - which is great for getting the
children ready for school and preschool. My son loves it here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery overall with very dedicated staff. Very responsive, very careful about the values and respect they teach to kids.
This is very much down to the staff, very competent.
If there is one critic to be made, the building is getting old and could do with a few improvements. We are very happy
with the nursery and our son goes there with a smile.

Since joining Bright Horizons nursery in May, our little boy has gained in confidence and independence.
A wide range of activities each week has enabled him to learn new skills and develop his fine and gross motor skills.
The staff are approachable, genuine and you are always greeted with a smile.
We are happy to know that he is in a caring, supportive and safe setting and would highly recommend Bright Horizons to others.

My children have attended from babies through to pre-school and have enjoyed every minute of their time here. They have so many opportunities to have fun, play and learn. I feel reassured in the safe, happy environment and the top rate care received here and thoroughly recommend the nursery and pre-school.

My experience of Beehive is brilliant. The staff are always friendly and professional, not to mention personal. I am in complete confidence when leaving my daughter at nursery, plus her progress is fantastic thanks to nursery.
Her confidence and inquisitiveness is always growing thanks to them.

My daughter started at the nursery in November 2017. I still haven't experienced a day where she does not want to go. In fact, she starts to talk about how she wants to see the nursery nurses during breakfast at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool has gone above and beyond in looking after my son. I feel that he is well cared for when he goes to the nursery. He has fun and he has lots of friends. He has a strong attachment to his key worker. I am comforted every morning when I drop him off
when I see that his key worker always gives him a cuddle, offer reassurance and help him settle when he is unsettled. A great nursery, lots of activities and very caring staff. Highly recommend this nursery.

A wonderful engaging environment which our boy has really enjoyed and grown in confidence. The staff have patience in abundance.


Car parking can be painful at drop-off and pick-up but it's a small inconvenience.

Review from Raffaele L (Father of Child) published on 22 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had a father's day breakfast time at the nursery. I found the staff and facilities to be excellent. The only thing about the day to day care that could be improved is the food: in my opinion, having desserts/puddings in the standard menu is not as healthy as it could be. I would have desserts/puddings
not as a standard but as exceptions - other than that it is very good.

I attended the father's day breakfast. Bright Horizons regularly put on events like this to give parents a chance to interact with the children in the nursery setting.


Its lovely to see the children so happy and it is clear the staff genuinely care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Kenilworth 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.939 for Bright Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.939
  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 Horizons Kenilworth Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 15 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
