Review from Louise T (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had 2 children attend the nursery from baby room, toddler room through to pre-school with our youngest attending in the toddler room. We have always found the staff to be extremely caring and professional. They are happy to tell us what our child has been doing throughout the day and are flexible
with our child's needs. They have assisted us with potty training which has definitely helped our children and us.


Now the nursery has moved premises and the food is made on site it has improved and there is a very good variety of foods which our son enjoys.


Our children have always been happy to attend the nursery.


We would definitely recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son, who is currently in the toddler room, absolutely loves going to nursery. He tells us what he’s been doing and his days sound so jam-packed!
All the staff are so so friendly, welcoming and seem genuinely interested in the children’s interests, e.g. they made our child’s favourite book their
‘growing readers’ book, which made him very happy.
We’re always amazed by things our child comes out with, which he must be being taught or experiencing at nursery.
We’re very pleased with the setting and look forward to our second child being able to experience everything that our first child has.

The staff at Bright Horizons are very attentive and engaging with our daughter. Since she started there she has settled in well and made lots of friends. She has really developed and loves going every day. The nursery is always clean and tidy (even with lots of toddlers) and is very secure.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. She has developed in leaps and bounds and I never have a problem taking her as she enjoys going.
The new facility is amazing and I never worry about leaving her as I know she is in real safe hands.

I couldn’t fault this nursery, my children love going to nursery and are always excited to tell us about all the wonderful activities they have done that day. The staff care for the children like their own. The indoors area is clean and welcoming and the outdoors area is amazing.

I would certainly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare. All staff are friendly and professional, they take great care of my son and really take an interest in his development. We get a detailed overview of his day (activities done, food eaten, general behaviour) and it always amazes
me that they remember so much detail when they have so many children to look after! SO glad we found Bright Horizons Rugby.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can not describe how amazing this nursery is. I was very worried about putting my little girl into nursery but I am so glad I picked this one. The level of care for the kids is incredible. They really look after the kids well and make sure they are always happy and give you full knowledge of how your
child has got on. Very friendly and experienced staff. I drive a lot further to drop my daughter off even though I have a nursery two minutes away from me. I still chose this one just because of how they look after the children, which is the most important. Well done and thank you.

I would highly recommend Beehives to anyone and have been, they have been amazing with my son that lacks in confidence, and he has learnt so much so fast. He has also built up some amazing relationships.
The meals are all fresh and healthy and my son loves them, the premises are very clean and modern.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone.


I am extremely confident that my daughter is being well looked after in their care. She loves going to nursery and that is down to the quality of staff and time taken to understand my child's needs. She would not be as well developed

as she is without the dedication and efforts of everyone at Beehive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is in pre-school and has been happily attending 2 days a week since she was a toddler. She’s a happy and social girl who has always enjoyed school, the things she makes, draws and does.
The new building is excellent. The staff are clearly not just good at their jobs but care too.
The Christmas
carols were amazing. Singing all those songs so well at 3 yrs old.
Our daughter will continue to attend throughout 2018 we hope.

An absolute pleasure sending my daughter here. There is an excellent staff to children ratio. They provide excellent nutritional food, which I think is my daughter's favourite part. Outstanding communication and every member of staff is pleasant and a pleasure to talk about the day's activities with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a fantastic nursery, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The facilities are excellent, and the food is fantastic. However, what makes this nursery so special is the staff. The genuine love and care they all have for all of the children is evident every day. My daughter loves pre-school; there
is such a large range of activities in which she participates - her favourite being yoga! At the end of the day, the staff are never too busy to tell me all about what’s they’ve been doing during the day. Knowing how much fun she’s having at nursery makes leaving to go to work so much easier!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my children have attended Beehive Nursery and I think that says a lot in itself, as it’s spanned over a decade and all three have been happy there.


My youngest currently attends the preschool room. The staff really know her and care about her and she really looks forward to seeing them.

The setting is resourced really well with an opportunity to do many activities that centre around her interests.


She has flourished beautifully there and I feel when the time comes she will be more than ready for school, that is down to the nursery. We will be sad to say goodbye for the final time this year.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have children in the nursery who are extremely happy here. I have been sending my children since the age of 5 months and can say it was the best choice of nursery. Each room is brilliantly staffed and equipped. I naturally felt the guilt of leaving the children at such a young age due to work commitments.
However, that completely vanished as each staff member at the nursery has cared so deeply for all children. An amazing staff with so much love, warmth and care. Thank you for all you do and continue to do.

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.
