Love how they work, look after children and have made my child feel comfortable and actually want to attend nursery. They have helped with his development and speech as well as confidence. I will be gutted when he leaves to start Reception this year.

I picked this nursery for my little boy when he was 15 months old and he leaves this week to start school nursery in September, my little boy has loved his time here and will miss all the lovely staff who have helped him to settle in an learn and grown in the time he has been here.
The staff at the
nursery are so friendly and welcoming when drop-off and collect and also provide reassuring phone calls when ringing up to see how my little boy had settled after drop-off.

All of the staff are amazing. My child has attended for over two years, I always feel confident she is well looked after. All the staff are so supportive and patient, it would be unfair to name just one or two as every single staff member goes above and beyond. Thank you to all of you, extremely grateful!

My daughter excelled when she started in this nursery from the very caring staff to the excellent facilities they have. I always felt that my daughter was safe in the environment she was in. I felt that my daughter's confidence and wide range of knowledge exceeded my expectations and made me feel she
was ready for school. My other daughter is starting this nursery, and I have no concerns and make the whole transition a lot more easier knowing that she will be in good hands.

My son started Bright Horizons Eldonians Nursery in April 2023.
I knew from the first visit he’d love it the nursery has a lovely vibe to it and the staff are all amazing! They’re professional, caring and attentive he’s come on leaps and bounds since starting, especially since he started doing 2 days
a week. It’s like a home away from home for him and I feel at ease knowing he’s well looked after whilst I’m at work. I love the app and seeing what activities he’s been doing each day. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough all the staff go above and beyond and I’m so grateful for this.

Review from A R (Father of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my child started attending Eldonians Nursery, I am very happy with the care he receives, his development, personnel, etc. They also understand well how to deal with allergies which is very important in my case. They use an application to upload some pictures of the activities done during the day,
tell you the food your child had and update you on his development in different areas.
A small area of improvement would be a bit more consistency with the upload of activities done during the day. If they didn't have the chance during the day to take pictures, maybe a section similar to the meals one with activities would be nice.
Still, overall the experience is really positive and a huge improvement compared to the previous nursery my child attended to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bright Horizons Eldonians Day Nursery and Preschool has given my son huge amounts of confidence in recent months. We are so thrilled with his progress and are 100% sure that this is due to the support and care he receives at nursery. Previously he did just one day a week and wasn't thriving as well
as we'd hoped. We decided, after advice from the staff, to try two days a week to build his confidence and the difference was night and day. The staff are always thrilled to see him and watch him grow. I never feel like the staff have multiple children to take care of, when I hear about his day it's like he's the only one they take care of. Would highly recommend this nursery and the amazing staff that work there.

Both my little girls have attended Bright Horizons from a very young age, my eldest began in 2020. My youngest is currently in Toddlers. My girls both love the nursery, all the staff are so lovely professional and caring, they are like a 2nd family. Both my girls have come on leaps and bounds. Thanks
to the nursery environment, they have made some lovely friends for life. I can't thank all the staff enough for helping my girls to develop, have fun and make lovely friends. I can't recommend this nursery enough, it's a lovely place, I just wish they didn't have to leave.

My review is from when my child began at the nursery up until the present (September 2023). The nursery staff have always been supportive and kind to myself and my daughter. They’ve always been really attentive and I love how they update the app throughout the day so I get to see what my daughter has
been enjoying whilst at nursery. I can’t recommend this nursery enough, our experience has been really pleasant.

Fantastic nursery. Staff are all friendly, professional and so helpful. Both of my sons are in the nursery and they both really enjoy all the activities and the environment. I feel very comfortable leaving my sons in nursery because I know they are in safe hands. The structure, the outdoor area and
cleanliness of the nursery is excellent. I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone who is thinking of putting their children into nursery. It's the best nursery around.

Bright Horizons nursery is just amazing for me and my daughter. All the girls and staff are really helpful and lovely.
Also my daughter loves going here she would go Saturday and Sunday if she could. My daughter has come on lots since she started here. She wasn't as happy to go to school in her old
nursery where I have never had a problem here. She loves it so much, thank girls.

I could not fault this nursery at all! From the first visit after visiting other nurseries for my son I instantly felt comfortable, with the staff, the structure, the garden and the cleanliness. It’s now coming up to 12 months that my son has attended and all the staff are very caring, and supportive.
My son has very complex food allergies and he is always given a nutritious meal for lunch and tea. I definitely made the right decision!

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She has come on so much since starting Bright Horizons, Eldonians. I never worry about her when she is there, as I know she is in safe hands. She eats well when she is there, having plenty of fruit and veg. She smiles at the staff when they come to the
door to take her in, so I know she is happy to be there.

Since my son started in the preschool room within the nursery 16 months ago he has been able to build great relationships and friendships with the staff and children within the room.
His speech, confidence, and being able to understand and manage his feelings has soared along with his imagination which
is developing rapidly every day with their brilliant activities using basic and natural resources encouraging him to build whatever he chooses.
I enjoy reading about my sons day, the nutritious meals he has had, and activities he’s participated in and am confident in recommending this nursery to anyone seeking a home from home, supportive and caring environment for their child.

My baby returns home in good mood after nursery. He seems to enjoy it and developed connections with the caregivers. I like daily reports so I know what he ate and didn't, what he played etc. The staff are welcoming and kind. They provide feedback on achievements or concerns and they seem very caring.
There are plenty of developing and nurturing activities happening daily at nursery. My husband and I are very pleased with the nursery and are glad we chose it for our baby.

When my daughter came back from the lockdown she went into the preschool room. She has always been nervous about coming into nursery.
The preschool girls have brought her confidence out, she has settled really well and really gets a lot out of nursery now.
I would highly recommend this nursery, all
the staff are really welcoming and friendly, the management are lovely and easy to approach if I have any issues and the nursery is well looked after and kept clean.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.539)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.539) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Eldonians 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.889 for Bright Horizons Eldonians Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.889
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Eldonians Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75
  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.
