Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool provides high-quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

The purpose-built, single-level nursery provides five separate rooms: a baby room, toddler room, two nurseries and Preschool. All the rooms are bright and airy with plenty of natural light and access to outside areas.

A beautifully refurbished adventure garden is divided into three play areas designed to support each particular age group. Each area provides lots of space for physical development and opportunities for children to develop an interest in nature and the world around them.

Experienced, qualified staff ensure the children are cared for throughout their nursery journey and 90% of staff are qualified to Level 3 or above and regularly trained. The nursery's own supply team cover staff holidays and sickness.

The nursery provides excellent opportunities for partnership with parents through parents' evenings, forums and regular 'stay and play' sessions. Policies and procedures are designed to give parents confidence in the safe and stimulating environment provided.

Their unique Healthy Hearts and Minds activities provide inspirational and engaging learning experiences using the innovative and well established Boogie Mites and myHappymind programmes.

An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

The nursery is within the catchment area of Richmond Primary School and other local schools that children progress to include Battling Brook Primary School.

The nursery was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in July 2022.

Review from I O (Father of Child) published on 6 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited a great many nurseries and we are so glad that we opted for Bright Horizons in the end.
The staff is always kind and helpful, and extremely understanding, no matter what request we turn to them. Our little one settled in much sooner than we had expected and he is in love with his key worker.
He even developed a special smile that he only gives to her!
Their menu is top-notch, there is no juice, high-added sugar, highly processed, or any other trash food, and they can cater for all kinds of dietary needs. The facility is neat, tidy, and contemporary. I especially like that the rooms are equipped with proper wooden toys and books instead of plastic flashing sound-making toys.
Their app is also really easy to use, and it puts our minds at ease that we receive updates during the day that our little lad is doing well.
All in all, we are grateful for all their support and hope that we can stay with them until school starts!

I cannot recommend Hinckley Bright Horizons enough, they were so welcoming when we came in as first time parents with our three month old. I was so nervous going back to work and leaving him at nursery but they really put me at ease. He joined in Oct 2022 and has been there ever since. The staff are
great with him and he is coming on so well with his development. We get regular updates via an app all day as well as development progress reports weekly and pictures of him having fun. The staff are also attentive at giving his medication on time and help accommodate any requests as best as possible.
Everything is included from nappies to formula and food, you literally just need a spare set of clothes in a bag for your child.
Big shout out to the staff in the Baby room, they are massive credits to the team!

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Hinckley enough! They have been absolutely amazing the past four years my daughter has attended, giving her the solid foundation and development to move on to school. The staff are so polite, friendly, understanding and most importantly supportive of me as a parent
too. They work with the parents to fully know the child and I honestly trust them like family with my daughter. They have handled the pandemic superbly to ensure the safety of everyone, without disrupting the children too much. I really am looking forward to my son going too, so that he can experience it too.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since 2018. All the staff she has come into contact with have been fantastic and she has built great relationships with them all. She always looks forward to going and we have never had any moans or groans from her. The nursery and their staff seem to have
coped and done a great job over the past year with all the problems associated with COVID and there has been minimal disruption to the overall service as a result.

I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting here.
He could write his own name just before he turned 4, and he’s grown so much confidence from being here.
I cannot thank the staff enough; they are amazing.

Cannot fault this nursery. We are always grateful for the choice myself and my husband made, so glad we chose this nursery. The nursery has been so beneficial to my son and me. They guided us through when my son's having difficulty with speech and gave lots of extra support. They always go the extra
mile, sending home nice cards gifts with children and decorating entrance even through the pandemic. Communication is great. A-star nursery and each and every member of staff!

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. She only attends once a week, but she looks forward to it every Friday. She's come on lots since returning from lockdown, and I couldn't be happier with the care she receives from the girls while shes there. I love to see what she's been up to each week
and hear about how her little personality has them laughing. I feel like I'm completely kept in the loop with her development, and know if I have any concerns, someone is always there to help whether it be by email phone or in person. Couldn't recommend Bright Horizons enough.

The staff are welcoming, friendly and very attentive. Our daughter LOVES going to nursery! The activities are suited to develop each child to bring out the best in them. Receiving regular telephone updates to see how she gets on is such a plus. We feel very involved, even with COVID restrictions. Couldn’t
recommend this nursery more! We are so pleased.

We’ve had 3 of our children attend this nursery from when they were babies and I’m so glad we found it! The staff is excellent, always so helpful and attentive to our children’s needs. The children have so many activities to do and so much to learn. We love looking at their work and progress through
the nursery app and online journal.

Our child is happy to come to this nursery and we are confident that all of her needs are being met and she is making good progress across all areas of the Early Years Curriculum. We are very happy at the level of challenge eg learning French, use of phonics. We fell that the nursery is ensuring she
is ready for her first year at school. A warm, caring and welcoming nursery.

I feel the nursey has really helped my daughter's confidence and independence. The things they do with the children are great and you can guarantee the children always learn something new and interesting. All the staff are happy and pleasant every day you go to drop off. I would and have recommended

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.657)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.657) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Hinckley 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.74 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 5 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.24
  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.
