Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started nursery a few months ago. He had a few behavioural issues and didn't talk. The staff at the nursery were really dedicated from the start. They worked closely with my son and he soon felt at ease with them. They also approached me with concerns they had about my son, because of that, I
approach his health visitor and we have been able to get my son the extra support he needed.
My son has come such a long way in a short space of time and I believe that it's because of the great support he has received at the nursery.

We would recommend this nursery without a doubt, we couldn't fault it in any way. We have received a friendly welcome from experienced and knowledgeable staff who couldn't do more. We are very happy for our little boy to come here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been to a few different nurseries.
However, he has settled very well into the baby room and now is in the toddler room.
He has become a very confident little person.
He is always sad to leave nursery when he has such a good tome.
His language and development have come on leaps and bounds.
He
loves doing all the different activities and brings home lots of stories to tell us about his day.

After an upsetting time having to move childminders. We chose to send our son to nursery. After viewing a number in the area we instantly fell in love with the staff and the setting. They have not let us down either as our son adores it here. I have honestly never seen him so happy. Happy child equals
happy parents :)

We have been very happy with our child's experience and development in the baby room. The room is always clean and has a range of toys/activities. We are very happy with our child's keyworker who is friendly caring and spends time debriefing after every session. They have a good relationship which is
lovely to see. We also like the wider activities such as world book day, kings and queens and St. David's Day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a fantastic nursery in all aspects of care, wellbeing and nurturing of a child. My daughter attends this nursery and we could not be any happier with the provision. The care is not only fantastic for the child but for the parents too. They understand nervous parents and encourage close parental
contact to ensure that your child is incredibly well looked after. For example, my daughter has been poorly, the staff personally dropped off a homemade get well card and have checked in with us to ask if they can help and support in any way. It makes a huge difference to know that they offer such an incredible amount of support. We are delighted with the nursery and could not recommend it enough to all parents. If you want a place where your child’s needs are looked after, your child is nurtured and developed, next steps of progress are identified and shared and a phenomenal team of staff, this is the place. We love it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can't rate this nursery highly enough. The place is great, my children love going there and actually get excited to go on the days they do. They've come on leaps and bounds since they started and developing very well as young children. The staff are great with all of the children and you can tell all
the children seem very happy there. They do a good selection of food which our children enjoy. They do a range of activities, including yoga and Spanish . Access is very good, the only downside is probably the parking when it's a busy pick up time. But that's not a massive issue. I'd recommend this nursery to anyone thinking about sending their children here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From day one the nursery staff have been amazing. Giving me support and reassurance when I was worried about them starting and making the children welcome and relaxed in the nursery environment. The children have developed so well since attending and they love being dropped off in the morning. All
the ladies know the children and it feels like a family where all the staff have a great bond with each other and the children.
Communication with parents is fantastic and the staff are always available to chat and give regular updates on how the children are doing.
The food is fantastic and the kids love the meals and snacks. The nursery setting is amazing and the kids have so much to play with and the garden area is fab too.
We are so happy we chose this setting and we will be extremely sad when they have to leave to go to school.

The ladies at Beehive have been fantastic in settling in my daughter. We have recently moved to the area and the ladies have helped us with everything we could possibly need such as local doctors, schools, supermarkets etc.
My daughter has settled in well and often talks about her day at nursery and
the ladies in the room. She often asks when her next ‘school’ day will be. The meals sound lovely and I’m often told she has eaten well.

Having decided to move our daughter to a new nursery we've been amazed at how wonderful all the staff have been at understanding and getting to know our daughter. From our first visit, which brought me to tears of joy, we've been so pleased, especially as to how quickly our daughter has settled in.
The biggest success has been in potty training something that's been tricky yet she has just got on with it here!

I cannot praise the nursery enough. After removing my child from One nursery as my little boy was very unhappy and wouldn't settle and placing him into the care of Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool he is now a very happy content little boy who is thriving. All of the staff are great and
it's like a second home to us.
Thank you!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery was recommended to me by 4 different mums. My son has been in the baby room since April 2016 and they are brilliant with him. I was forced back to work hence why he is at nursery so I was worried/felt guilty leaving him so young and with people we didn't know but he loves it there. The
ladies in the room are great with him and make him so welcome every morning and his key worker goes that extra mile. My son has taken a real shine to the deputy manager and loves to see her as well. The kitchen and chef on site are great! For me, I would like to know what he has eaten daily so maybe a note on his sheet of what food he has had would be great as I know there are menus but figuring out what week we are on etc is sometimes complex. The manager and deputy have been excellent trying to accommodate extra sessions as well for me whilst my husband hasn't been well.

A truly outstanding learning environment, filled with encouragement, creativity and fun!


Our son is in the toddler room and his progress has continued to amaze us.


His speech and language have been coming on so much thanks to all of the hard work from the staff.


He has become a much more confident

little boy since starting last October and is forever coming out with something new.


The staff and facilities are excellent.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It’s a lovely nursery with amazing outdoor space and lovely staff. My daughter has been with them for a year now from baby room to now in toddler room. Their own kitchen gives more choice and liberty for food.


The only reason why I would knock of few points from them is: they managed to miss a handover

(for more than two months) when my daughter’s keyworker changed and I was offered one only when I enquired about it. This isn’t something any parent would like from Nursery.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for about three years now. Each stage (Baby, Toddler and Pre-School) has had an amazing experience for her which has mainly been due to the excellent care she received from all of the staff. They have all helped in her development as well as ensuring she had
a fun time as well.

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.
