You and your child will love the beautiful nursery in Broadgreen, designed to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

They care about the individual needs of every child. The nursery is laid out to give your little one the best age-specific environment in which to flourish, and they have a SENCO (Special Education Needs Coordinator) on-site for children who require an extra level of support.

The Broadgreen nursery baby room is split into Under 1s and 1-2s, allowing the team to tailor the care to each specific developmental stage. They separate the garden by age into four sections, so that indoor learning can be consolidated in a new, fresh environment that is modified for each age group.

For preschoolers, they focus on the unique Growing Enhancements programme to encourage natural curiosity to learn. This focuses on reading, writing and mathematics, alongside vocational subjects such as art and cooking, to help lay the foundations for future academic and creative achievements.

Community is also important to the team and they take the children on regular nature walks and library visits, to strengthen their knowledge and familiarity with their local area.

The setting is situated in the grounds of Broadgreen Hospital, with a buggy storage area for your convenience. There is also a dedicated Parent Room with sensory equipment for babies.

The long-standing team would love to meet you and your little one, so book a visit today and they will show you all the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery! My child has attended for 2 years, the first 6 months were some what challenging however great improvements have taken place and my daughter is flourishing. All of the staff are so warm and welcoming which makes the drop offs so much easier, I always drop my
daughter off feeling content and knowing she will be cared and have a great day.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The staff are great. It's difficult to write a review as I know how the nursery once was! The staff in the rooms are great, they really try their best with what they have.
The whole feel of the nursery has changed. It once was a place were management always sat on the front door and knew you and your
child as you came in. It felt safe and reassured you as a parent. Now, management sit in a room at the side, never acknowledging you as you walk in and overhearing conversations of their evenings/ weekends. The personal touch is no longer present and management feel removed from the nursery itself. It's such a shame as we had such a different experience with our older child.

My children have attended this nursery for almost 5 years now. The nursery have met the care needs of all of my children and have gone above and beyond to support them. Unfortunately my oldest child went through his pre-school year without their being any early years teachers on site however the room
leader was an amazing support, always encouraging learning through exciting activities. This has now been rectified and my younger child is flourishing in the environment! Molly greets us at the door each morning with a friendly smile and addresses each child by name which I really value. The staff are always happy to see us arriving and my children have formed very close bonds with them all. The App is easy to use and is regularly updated which is brilliant! Lorna and her management team reply to any messages on the app very swiftly and the means of communication is very easy.
Thank you to everyone who help us as a family, we really appreciate the work you do!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have sent 3 of my children to Broadgreen nursery over the last 5 years, and currently only 1 is attending as my others are now in school. Firstly the room staff are fantastic, my little one loves running in for hugs, i have noticed and mentioned to management about the number of new staff and changes
to key workers etc that was a bit unsettling for myself. But management explained and reassured me. The facilities are great lots of indoor and outdoor play, the app is kept upto date each session. Also the kitchen staff and food available is great as my little 1 has allergies and intolerances this has been catered for with no issues. I have viewed other nurseries closer to home as it's a 50min round trip morning and afternoon to drop off and pick up, but I can't find a nursery I feel as comfortable and safe to look after my children as I do here. So thank you for do such a fantastic job supporting and encouraging our little ones development.

We've had such a wonderful experience at Broadgreen. From the very beginning, the staff have been so welcoming, caring, and attentive to our child's needs. It's clear how much they genuinely care about the children and their development.


The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of exciting activities

that keep my little girl engaged and happy every day. Our little girl has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and developed so many new skills since starting here.


We couldn't be happier with the progress we've seen and are so grateful to all the staff. Highly recommend Bright horizons Broadgreen to any parent looking for a supportive and inspiring early years setting.

Review from E H (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Our little boy started this nursery at 11 months old. Each morning we were dropping him to unfamiliar staff and collecting him from unfamiliar staff who were unable to provide a handover as they hadn't been caring for him in the baby room. On one occasion staff didn't know his name upon collection.
I raised concerns with the manager and was assured us it would change which initially it did for approximately 4 weeks and then things went from bad to worse. Our baby was transitioned from the baby room to toddler room without us being notified until we collected him. His new key worker had been pulled to cover another room. Therefore, he was in an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar staff for 10 hours without his parents being informed until collection. Raised concerns with management- explanation was unclear as to why this happened therefore we made the decision to remove our little boy immediately from the nursery.

Lovely, welcoming nursery. Smooth transition from toddlers to rising 3's. Kept informed of key worker changes and what to expect. Staff in both rooms are always friendly and nothing is too much trouble when asking anything about the day. Looked at lots of nurseries before choosing this one as I have
been a nursery owner for the last 25 years. It's such a hard decision putting your child in a nursery, but this one is wonderful and we are very happy with our choice. My second grandchild starts soon.

My daughter has attended the nursery from being 12 months old and I can’t thank the nursery enough for the care and attention she receives. She loves coming to nursery and I think that is down to the lovely staff and it puts my mind at ease knowing she is being well looked after whilst I’m at work.
Her confidence and overall development has come on so much since starting and I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

The setting is perfect. My daughter has really come out of her shell. She engages more and has developed self-confidence since attending the nursery. She is my second child to attend this nursery as I loved the environment so much when my son first went. Now my third is already enrolled and ready to

Our third child is now in preschool and about to leave Bright Horizons, Broadgreen. The care, education and opportunity provided to her during her time, has been nothing but exceptional. The way the nursery adapted and managed throughout the pandemic was wonderful. As a family, we felt very lucky to
have somewhere she could attend during this difficult time and knew, without doubt, she was safe and happy.

Cannot fault the staff, from the management to the staff in each room. The way my daughter runs into nursery is testament to the care and support she receives. The structure and development since she has been attending (7 months) is evident in her developments in speech, actions, understanding and growth.
Would recommend the team at Broadgreen and a special mention for my daughter's key worker and the whole of the toddler staff, they are amazing with my daughter. Thank you.

Our son absolutely loves his days in the nursery. He has been in the baby and toddler room and now rising 3’s. The staff have supported him beautifully in the transitions between rooms and have recently helped him nail his potty training. His vocabulary and language skills are coming along really well
and best of all he comes home talking about his friends and the staff in such a lovely way. You can’t ask for more than that. Thank you to the brilliant staff xx

My daughter has been in the nursery since 2019 and will soon be leaving to go to school and my new son will be starting his nursery journey. I have been impressed with the care, the dedication to the children's development and the communication systems put in place. My daughter has blossomed and has
always enjoyed every day she has ever attended. She comes home happy and has many stories of the exciting activities she’s completed and kind words from the staff. As with many children, she greatly enjoys the food: eating everything she’s given, which she will not do at home. This always gives me peace of mind that she’s eating good quality healthy meals at nursery, even if she won’t out of nursery. She’s made lots of forever friends and had experiences and memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.463)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.463) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Broadgreen Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.370 for Bright Horizons Broadgreen Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.37
  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 4.093 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Broadgreen Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.393
  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.
