Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited lots of nurseries before my eldest started with this nursery. I got a great feeling about the nursery which turned out to be bang on. My eldest loved her time at here and my youngest enjoys every minute too! The staff are fabulous, kind, caring, friendly and with tons of experience. The variety
of food is excellent and the setting is amazing in my opinion. Lots of activities and the effort that is put in to get the little ones ready for school is outstanding.
I’ll be sad in September when out family journey with the nursery comes to an end.

I couldn’t be happier with the nursery as a whole as well as all the staff. My youngest has been going here since the baby room and is now in the preschool room. The staff are so accommodating, helpful and there has always been great care taken when moving up to a different room, to make sure she has
settled in happily. My daughter has a favourite staff member, who is so patient with her obsession of her but even when it’s her day off, she still enjoys her day with all the other ladies and children.

My little boy has been at Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool for two and a half years and I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. My son loves going and settled in well after just a few sessions. He has a fantastic key worker who knows him really well and the rest of the staff are
amazing too. Throughout Covid-19 the staff have been wonderful and made life feel a little bit normal for both me and my son. We will both miss the staff so much when my son starts school.

My daughter has just started here and she has settled in brilliantly. Even during Covid the staff have made things feel 'normal'. My daughter is happy and comes home excited to tell me about her day. The staff are brilliant I wish I had moved her to Bright Horizons Rugby sooner.

One particular member of staff is amazing. She always provides lots of information on the boy's day and wellbeing. On the nursery days, the boy keeps waiting by the door with his backpack, happily waving to mummy and blowing kisses when dropped at the nursery. He'd always bring new sounds home.

I couldn’t recommend Bright Horizons Rugby enough. Throughout the pandemic, the staff have done everything possible to help me feel confident about my baby attending the nursery. From continuous updates to regular check-ins - I couldn’t have asked for more. The staff put everything into making sure
the children and parents are happy. My baby gets very excited when he is dropped off each morning and loves seeing everyone there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy joined the nursery in a bit of a rush after our previous childcare placement fell through due to covid-19. The nursery staff were fabulous at helping him settle into a new placement and it wasn't long before he made himself at home. He is thriving at the nursery. His speech and social
skills have come on no end and he is enjoying new activities and adventures; such as forest school and the bee-bot. The staff give a thorough hand over at the end of each day and have been very supportive with nap times and hint and tips with potty training. We even had our first parents evening, which was very exciting! I can't imagine him going anywhere else now.

Fantastic nursery where all the staff are amazing. My little one is very sad to be leaving but excited that he will still be able to visit when his little brother starts there in the new year. I would strongly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high quality child care in the Hillmorton area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is outstanding, I can tell that my son has had a lovely day and he is so happy to go in the mornings! It is an absolute joy to send your child here knowing I can work completely guilt-free because this is the highest standard of childcare you can get in my opinion. Every single member
of staff is enthusiastic, caring and genuinely seems happy to be at work. My child has built special bonds with many of the staff. Communication is excellent, any dietary requirements are accommodated and treated with the utmost importance. The food is all homemade and nutritious. The toys and equipment look fun, engaging and always clean. It surprises me that more people don't know about this nursery when I tell them. Please don't be put off by the cost, it is worth every penny to know your child is safe, happy, nurtured and encouraged.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Being my first child, you always have worries and concerns when first sending your child to nursery, however, I couldn't feel more at ease.
My relationship with the staff is excellent. They couldn't do enough for my child and keep me posted on progress along the way.
My son is happy when he arrives
at nursery, and runs off without getting upset that I'm leaving.
Baby room does a wide variety of day to day activities that my son thoroughly enjoys.
He has come on leaps and bounds with sitting at a table and is more than capable of feeding himself. The variety of food is very good, you can always smell the delicious foods as you walk in the door!
There is lots that I could write about. All super positive.
Fully recommend bright horizons nursery.

My daughter has been attending the nursery now for nearly a year, she joined when she was 9 months old. She loves going to nursery the staff are friendly and really look after her. Her development has been great since joining the nursery, her language, the use of cutlery, the way she plays and interacts
with adults and children alike.
I am really happy with the nursery and my daughter is equally as happy attending.

We have been extremely pleased with the care and attention our twins have received at Bright Horizons. All the staff have been exceptional with the care and attention they have given the boys. We have noticed we are now picking up two happy boys who look like they have thoroughly enjoyed their day at
Bright Horizons.

I'm very happy with the standards provided by Bright Horizons! My daughter was really struggling with the transition from baby room to pre-school and the nursery went above and beyond to make sure myself, my partner and our daughter was happy and did whatever they could to help!
I'm currently pregnant
with our second child and would love for them to come here also!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Rugby 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.943 for Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.943
  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 Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
