My daughter loves going to nursery, she always seems to have fun whilst there. The fantastic staff must have been expertly recruited, I see myself, they are always buoyant and smiley, even on a Monday morning. She has learned so much from said staff and from the people there that really matter and all
the other kids. Looking forward to another happy year for them all. Thank you for taking excellent care of my daughter.

My daughter was initially very nervous about beginning the nursery. However, over the past 2 years her confidence and capabilities have developed significantly, as she has moved through from the baby/toddler room into pre-school. I have no doubts this is down to the excellent, attentive nature of all
staff members, as well as the quality of the facilities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

I can honestly say this nursery is outstanding. My daughter has come on so well since attending this nursery from the learning aspect to enjoying making new friends, she enjoys yoga and Spanish on a weekly basis
The staff are all friendly and very supportive, easy to approach. My daughter starts school
in September this year, I know she will miss everything about the nursery.
Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My boy absolutely loves it here. I know the staff are excellent in developing them and nurturing them, not just doing a list of things by the book, taking the time to personally help each child. They have so much time for me as a parent to give and receive feedback
so we can work together for the very best for my boy. There are so many different activities each day and varied healthy food and brand new excellent facilities. From what my other mummy friends have said about their nurseries, Beehive stands out a mile ahead of them and is so much more caring and personal.

My daughter started at this nursery in November, doing 3 days a week and has recently started full time. I am extremely happy with the way my daughter has settled in at the nursery. The members of staff in the room have all helped her develop and although she has only been there a short while I can
already see the difference. The choice of food is good, the facilities are lovely, the activities are varied and the routines are very good. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking to place their child.

The nursery is a home from home for my daughter. She loves going and I know she is being well cared for.


The new building is perfectly thought out for little people. There are lots of activities for the children to partake in. The staff are brilliant - can’t recommend enough.

My daughter has been at the Rugby Beehive since April 2017, moving from the baby to toddler room recently. Both transitions were made so easy by the staff who have helped her feel safe, well cared for and stimulated.

Review from Sophie G (Mother of Child) published on 5 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son attend this great nursery. Since starting at the nursery they have come on leaps and bounds, both educationally and socially. The staff bend over backwards to do the best for the children and parents. Before choosing this nursery I looked around other local
nurseries and none came close! They have an onsite chef who makes beautiful meals, my son has food allergies and she always ensures he has delicious, freshly cooked food and never feels left out.


The outdoor area is magical! Whilst my daughter is there she participates in Spanish lessons and yoga. It truly is a great nursery. Over Christmas, the children learnt Christmas carols and sang them to the residents at the local old peoples home, which was great. They also have recently held a fundraising evening to raise vital funds for one of the pupils, this was a great night for an even greater cause. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Like most parents, when my son started at nursery I was very apprehensive about leaving him. Right from the off, Beehive reassured me that my son would be absolutely fine and it wasn't a lie. He settled extremely quickly largely down to the staff who care for him like he is their own. The nursery setting
is lovely with valuable access to the outdoors at anytime of year. My son has flourished into a happy and confident little boy.

Our little boy loves going to Beehive Nursery. The facilities are fantastic and the staff are just brilliant! He has developed so much since he started going there back in 2016. They really take an interest and get to know each and every child and all the children always seem so happy to be there which
speaks volumes.

We've had two little girls at Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool - both starting in Baby Room. We've watched them grow in confidence and ability thanks to the caring, nurturing, expert staff. The range of activities the kids do is brilliant and the variety in the menu really helps them
develop their palate and willingness to try new foods. Awesome nursery, awesome staff!!!

Our daughter has only recently started at the Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool but we could not be happier with every single aspect of her time so far.


She has settled in fantastically as a result of the care and attentiveness of all of the staff.


We are amazed at how many lovely

activities she has been doing in such a short space of time and how comfortable she has been in eating and sleeping at the nursery.


I have been anxious about leaving our daughter with anyone before returning to work and was worried about her starting nursery. The staff at the nursery have ensured that I have been kept informed of how our daughter has been getting on during her days at Nursery and reassuring me about how much she is enjoying herself.


We could not recommend this nursery highly enough and we are both so pleased with how our daughter has settled.

All the staff at Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool are wonderful. My little one has been with them since she was 9 months old (now 18months) and we have noticed a huge difference in her confidence and her development since starting. Not only does she have fun but she is learning and developing
every day. She is always happy to go to nursery, but when she does have a little wobble the staff are fantastic at comforting her and reassuring me as a mother. Couldn't be happier with them. Thank you all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended this nursery since he was 11 months and is only leaving now to attend our local school nursery at age 3 and a half. I was incredibly nervous to leave him at first, but the ladies took him under their wing and gave him all the cuddles that he needed to settle in.
I've always felt
as though my son was so loved and cared for, they have always been so enthusiastic about his progress, and seemed genuinely sad when he left.
The new nursery premises are beautiful and the outdoor area is spacious, with a separate area for each age group.
I will continue to recommend this nursery to everyone!! Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool ladies, we miss you!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool for approximately 3 years and 10 months and has just left to start school. He has absolutely enjoyed his time there!


Premises - the old place was good, but the new place is absolutely amazing...purpose built and everything has been

thought about in detail. onsite kitchen, baby room, toddler room, pre-school room, massive garden, laundry room, bottle feed prep room, nappy changing room, kiddies toilets, reception, office, staff room, etc.


Staff - everyone is so friendly and approachable! A lovely caring team and low staff turnover speak volumes!


Food - the old place did not have an onsite kitchen, so food was outsourced, however in the new place all meals are cooked fresh on site on the day.


Handover - a thorough handover is done each day to cover activities, food, sleep, nappy/toilet, etc


Overall - a great nursery with really good caring staff. Probably more expensive than other nurseries in Rugby, but I definitely think it's worth it!

My daughter has been with bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 10 months old, she's now nearly 4 (Oct). We have all absolutely loved this nursery. All the staff are extremely kind and caring and most importantly our little girl has enjoyed every minute. She has grown up to be
a very confident, knowledgeable and happy young lady.


The nursery is very well structured with an excellent balance of learning and play.
We, as parents are always welcomed and kept informed of the daily activities.
Upon every pick up a member of staff always informs us of how she has eaten and how she has been (good or not so!)
We couldn't recommend this nursery enough.
To have our little girl run through those nursery doors and to go to work without worrying about her care is truly priceless.

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.
