The positives never end for the new Moston setting. From the moment I stepped in the door for a look around, I knew this was the nursery for my son. The staff are very welcoming and helpful nothing is too much for them. They are absolutely fantastic with the children and provide a wide and wonderful
range of activities. The manager is absolutely amazing such a breath of fresh air and is hands-on with the children and doesn't just hide away in her office. I recommend the nursery to everyone who's looking for a nursery for their children as for me there is not a nursery that beats the new Moston Brighter Beginnings.

Outstanding nursery, all members of staff are exceptional. I feel completely at ease leaving my daughter in the care of the staff at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston. My daughter is so happy and content at nursery and even asks to go back once I’ve collected her. She has settled in so fast
within her room. Keep up the good work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Brighter Beginnings since she was 10 months old. In the past 8 months, she has come along so well due to being at this nursery, she struggles with engaging with other people and being around other children, however, all the staff at the nursery have really brought her out of
her shell and she's become so much more confident with others around her.


I can't recommend this nursery enough when it comes to every last thing with the children, knowing your child is in a happy safe environment every time they attend. Also really understanding each and every child's needs, especially the children like my daughter who take a little bit longer to adapt to others and new surroundings. Definitely, the best nursery I could have chosen to put her in.

Overall I cannot tell you how much my son and granddaughter love this nursery. Every single member of staff is fantastic. The communication with parents is amazing, my child’s development has come on so much he absolutely loves it, even more now with the new management and new staff. I love it, I'm
keeping my son here even though he can go to school in September, he’s so settled and wouldn’t want to change that.

My son is thriving since starting the New Moston Nursery. He has really come out of his shell and his communication skills have really started to become apparent, which was a very large concern for me. He is finally ready to start school in September. Thank you.

My son currently attends New Moston, Brighter Beginnings. I am very happy with his place here.
He always looks forward to going into nursery and I feel he is very happy and safe here. His key worker is very attentive to his needs as are all the girls here who take care of him. I feel he is looked
after very well and have no concerns at all. I would recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of applying for a place for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have sent all three of my children here. Currently my daughter attends and is to go into the pre school room in July.
I cannot thank this nursery for everything they have done for her, she went in a shy child who wouldn't talk to anyone, now a determined, noisy, confident little girl, just how we
like it.
The finance team are just as nice as the girls who look after my daughter, the manager of this particular building is fabulous, tries her best to fit my daughter in on some random days. Any issue I have ever had, I have emailed the management and it has been dealt with efficiently and always in the best interest of my child.
I cannot thank and recommend the nursery staff and management enough.

It has been a good experience so far. The staff are friendly and approachable. My little one enjoys going there and has done right from the start. The only downside for me is the high price. The best thing for me is that the food is halal. Overall a very good experience.

A massive thanks to all staff at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston. My daughter was very clingy and scared to meet anyone new. After a bad experience at another nursery and several searches for a nursery, we have come across Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston who have massively helped
me as a parent as well as the development for my daughter. It was also reassuring that they serve Halal food and celebrate all religious festivities. They have been amazing with my daughter and now she jumps to them when she sees them at the door. This is how I know she is being well looked after by staff. My daughter has also had problems with eating which the staff have helped me with massively. It’s nice to see a place that genuinely have care for the children in their care. I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston to any parents looking for a nursery place for their child that is like a home from home. We chose Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston as from the moment we walked in to view the nursery it felt like a happy, nurturing place to send
our baby and it has definitely lived up to our expectations. Our little boy always comes home from nursery happy and smiling and we have noticed that he has come on so much since starting here, he has started babbling which he hardly did before coming here and also took his first independent steps here too which to me shows how much of a good job every single member of staff does to make sure that he’s always happy and stimulated, so much that he is coming home and showing what he has learnt. All staff are friendly, approachable and I couldn’t ask for a better surrounding for my child to be in.

Brighter Beginnings is a wonderful nursery! My son attends full time and not only does he love attending, he socialises well and has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his early learning.


I would recommend this nursery setting to those wishing to find a pre-school place for their child. Every

member of staff is lovely, approachable and has so much fun with each child. They take on a nurturing role and that is evident when your child creates a fantastic bond!


My child's needs and requirements have been fulfilled, he has a specific dietary requirement due to allergies, but this hasn't posed a single problem to any member of staff. Full training is provided for all members of staff and they are all aware of my son's requirements.

My son started here just over 18 months ago. The staff are so lovely, caring, friendly and approachable and nothing is to much trouble. I love that I can monitor his progress online and see what he has been up to. He loves the fun activities as well as the extra activities that can be accessed such
as swimming lessons, football and dancing sessions. As someone who works in education, I am so pleased with our decision to send him here he has come on so much and loves his time there. Will definitely be keeping him here as long as I can.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston 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 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 4.890 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.89
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, New Moston 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 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12, 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.

Jennifer

Jennifer

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2011

My name is Jennifer, and I have worked at Brighter Beginnings for 13 years. I started as an apprentice at Brighter Beginnings New Moston when I left school, I then went on to complete my level 3 at Brighter Beginnings Charlestown where I worked my way up to Deputy Manager. I then went on to Newton Heath Brighter Beginnings as a Manager for 3 years where we achieved an outstanding grade from Ofsted. Since then, I have returned to Brighter Beginning New Moston to cover maternity leave and I am supporting at other buildings, ensuring high-quality childcare. I have gained lots of knowledge and experience along the way which has helped me to understand child development and give children the most amazing experiences in their first years of life. I have a daughter of my own who is currently in year 1 and we love taking our dog Honey on lots of walks and having lots of family time.

Lucy

Lucy

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2022

My name is Lucy, and I have proudly worked for Brighter Beginnings for the past two years. As an Assistant Manager. I am deeply committed to ensuring that every child receives the best possible care and learning experience. Since leaving school, my passion for early years education has driven me to continually develop my knowledge and skills. Over the years, I’ve gained invaluable experience that has allowed me to confidently fulfil my role, supporting both the children and my dedicated team.


I am based in the 2–3-year room, where I also take on the role of room leader. In this position, I work closely with my team to create a nurturing and stimulating environment, ensuring that every child’s developmental needs are met. I am responsible for delegating tasks and guiding my staff to provide the highest quality of care. This role allows me to see first-hand the joy and progress that each child makes, which is incredibly rewarding.


Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two wonderful children, aged 8 and 4. We love spending quality time together, whether it’s enjoying days out, catching the latest movie at the cinema, or embarking on exciting family holidays. Family time is so important to me, and I cherish the adventures we share together.

Ellie

Ellie

Job Title: Room Leader Joined: 2021

My name is Ellie, and I have had the pleasure of working with Brighter Beginnings for three years. Currently, I am the room leader of the 0–2-year-old room, where I am passionate about providing a warm and caring environment for the youngest members of our nursery family. Before joining New Moston, I spent time working at our Burnage branch. This experience was instrumental in helping me grow professionally, as I gained a wealth of knowledge and insights that have been invaluable in shaping my current role as a room leader.


The opportunity to work in different nurseries has been an enriching experience. It has given me a broader perspective on early childhood education, allowing me to bring new ideas and improvements to my practice here at New Moston. My goal is to always create a positive and engaging environment that supports both my team and the children.


When I’m not at work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and spending time with my family. I also love going on holidays with friends and creating lasting memories on our trips together. I have a wonderful dog named Bobby, and one of my favourite things to do is take him on long walks, exploring the outdoors together.
