Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am always pleased to see the variety of activities on offer, I love the fact I can see what they have served to eat.
the fact they spend time in the great outdoor space is brilliant, as we only have a small garden and fresh air is so important.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The free
book borrowing is brilliant too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started this nursery when she was 4 months old has now left to go to school (she is going to be 5 in December). This nursery has been fantastic and the staff hard working. My daughter has turned from a 4-month-old who could just lift her head to a confident, polite and social child. She
has all her basic skills for school and is currently doing really well in her learning to read. This is all due to the hard work of the staff and the fact they have worked with me and my daughter always. I would very highly recommend the nursery to other parents. This to the nursery that cares for everyone- thanks.

Couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are amazing and settled my child in really well. The facilities and outside space are brilliant and plenty to keep the children busy. My son's confidence has come on so much since starting this nursery. No issues with this nursery.

My daughter has settled in very well and has gained lots of development. She enjoys her time at the nursery and comes home and implements her learning. Since she has joined nursery she has matured and understands various things. Therefore I would most definitely recommend this nursery to other parents
as I can see she has developed into her own.

I have has 2 children in this nursery and I like the service and care provided here. I kept my daughter here while I was on maternity leave as they have a wonderful range of activities and great outdoor space. We also suffer from obscure allergies/eczema triggers and the cook has been wonderfully accommodating
about this and my daughter never missed out food wise. Now she's in school I really miss their services as she now has to have a packed lunch as the school can't cope with her requirements.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love Bright Horizons nursery, my son started in explorers and is now in the "big room" which he really enjoys.
I know that I can leave my child with the staff and know that he is being cared for and his development is growing.
When needed I can have a meeting with his key person who my son has
a very strong bond with as he comes home and talks about her.
When I collect him he is always clean and his bag looks like he's had lots of fun.
Bright Horizons is a place for your child too.

Review from Adele (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters go here. One of the children is in Explorers and the other is a Discoverer. I love the time and attention they give both girls especially the littlest one, who started there drinking milk and is now eating meals with the other children. She even was drinking from a cup which has
all been done with the support of the staff there.
My eldest started in this room and has now moved into the 'big' room. The staff in this room have supported her with potty training and I love that there is a male assistant.

Ever since my daughter (now 2 and half) joined the nursery at 6 months old I have always felt supported and kept up to date by the key workers and management.
I feel confident my daughter is safe, eating healthy and supported, developed and genuinely cared for.
Wouldn't look anywhere else.

My son loves it at nursery, he is always talking about the staff and his friends there. There are always staff engaged with the children and activities going on, even at the end of the day. I like how his interests are explored and extended at the setting and I can see the progress he is making academically
and socially. The food is of a high standard and my son enjoys it, the menu is varied and changes with the seasons.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Trafford 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.866 for Bright Horizons Trafford Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.866
  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 Trafford Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 20 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 20 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.
