My son first settled into the nursery when he was just 6 months old and he has loved it ever since. The staff are fabulous and always keep us updated throughout the day and look after him to a brilliant standard. We feel reassured knowing he's in such safe hands. The activities provided are fabulous
for his development and he loves the food! Would highly recommend it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl started at the nursery when she was nine months old back in January. She took a couple of weeks to settle into the new routine and being away from me but once settled she was very content. The nursery closed in late March (like most nurseries) and she stayed at home with us until it
reopened in July. Settling back in took a bit longer this time. She cried on the pick-up and drop off for five weeks but the nursery staff reassured us she was settled once in the room (we couldn’t see this as drop-off was at the main door). After five weeks she just stopped crying and now walks inside and doesn’t even look back to say bye. I feel confident that the nursery are following all COVID rules and the communication/updates via email. They are using other tools to keep parents up-to-date with what's going on e.g team calls and weekly room plans. I would and have recommended the nursery to my family and friends.

I didn’t have to think twice when choosing a nursery for my second son. My first son attended this nursery and, in my opinion, there aren’t any other nurseries in this area who provide such a high standard of care so it was the obvious perfect choice for my second son. Every day when I drop him off
I have zero concerns, the staff are all so warm, welcoming and attentive. Although times have changed recently due to the pandemic, the excellent standard of care remains the same. The nursery management and staff have all implemented the necessary precautions, whilst ensuring minimal disruption and impact to the children.
The setting is clean, facilities are outstanding, and the level of knowledge and experience staff have is second to none.
I wouldn’t send my children to any other setting.
Thanks to all the staff at Warrington - you’re all amazing, especially how you have dealt with the pandemic.

Very friendly, always smiling. My child absolutely loves this nursery, she always comes home telling me stories about what they've done today and what she's had to eat. Would definitely recommend this nursery to new starters.

My son attended the preschool and my daughter has been attending the nursery the last 18 months. She started in the baby room and absolutely loved it. It can be so difficult leaving your most treasured possessions, your children, with people you don't know or haven't met, particularly in these strange
times, but you honestly couldn't have better carers. They create a loving, playful, learning environment with plenty of age-related activities and outdoor play.
My daughter is now in the toddler room and has so much fun. She wakes up asking to go to nursery every day and skips in see her friends and the nursery team.
At the end of the day, you receive a communication sheet that provides you with all the information you need to know; nappy changes, food, activities and photos. So you never feel like you're missing out.
I visited a handful of local nurseries and the DL Bright Horizons was by far the best offering and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but good things to say about the nursery, especially since starting back post lockdown. The only difference I have noticed pre and post lockdown is the drop-off but it is actually easier for the parent as they are now met at the doorway by the manager. The children are happy and well
cared for. They also learn good hygiene such as hand washing. They are made to feel safe and have lots of fun. We have had a parents evening since starting back from lockdown to keep us updated on their development. My daughter loves going in. Both my children have attended this nursery and if I had to choose again I wouldn't hesitate to pick this nursery.

My daughter has been at the nursery before and after lockdown and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They are very patient and caring to the little ones that attend and I’m confident leaving my daughter with them, even in these trying times. They are great at putting on settling in sessions
to make sure the children are as prepared as they can be to start properly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following the lockdown, we had some concerns over putting our daughter into nursery but we did find a lot of reassurance from the policies and procedures in place at Bright Horizons. Everything is in place to protect and develop the children in their care and in particular we have seen a huge degree
of attention given to social distancing and cleaning procedures.
We get daily written reports and also receive regular zoom meeting calls from the staff with updates on our child’s progression, development, well-being and also more importantly how she is settling in and enjoying herself. Including photographs of the activities.
After a very short period she is doing amazing and getting more confident each day settling in and the time given by the staff, who she has already grown fond of and trusts as do we. It’s a lovely environment for them and well assured that our precious little girl is in good hands.
It is such a lovely nursery and I can't thank the staff enough.

My little girl has been attending the nursery since it reopened and is loving going in every day seeing her friends, we get daily updates of what she has been getting up to with photos and artwork. We receive emails updating us with upcoming events and also informing us of any changes that may affect
with who is able to collect which is a big help with us being able to sort child care out. We couldn’t thank the girls enough for all of the effort they do with keeping us up to date with her development through Zoom calls and telephone calls. We were worried about how she would settle after lockdown but the girls made every effort to reassure us that she would be OK. She now goes into the setting with a waving bye and blowing us kisses, that has made us feel really welcomed to the setting and we couldn’t thank all the girls for their hard work during a difficult time.

I can’t speak highly enough of the staff at Bright Horizons. They understand how to get the best out of my daughter and she is constantly learning and exploring. The staff are aligned with me and my partner on how we would like our daughter to learn. I wouldn’t let my child or any of my future children
go elsewhere.

My little girl started attending Bright Horizons Warrington in July.
I can not recommend the place highly enough, the staff look after her like she’s their own child. They accommodate any requests and keep me up to date on how she’s doing.
This has been a worrying time for me having my little one
start nursery in such strange times with lockdown, they have put me at ease in the way they look after her and even put up with my daily calls and are always friendly, nothing is too much trouble.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is by far one of the most friendly and supportive I have experienced. The staff go above and beyond to ensure children feel included and safe. The manager knows everyone by name and the whole nursery has a family feel to it. On many occasions I dropped by to pick my daughter up at times
when they did not know I was arriving... the children were always in a calm environment and engaged in activities, not just left to roam around.
The baby room is full of kindness and cuddles just as it should be. Children have daily activities that they take part in, and all staff make the effort to get to know the children. This was clear as in just five weeks, my one-year-old daughter was comfortable with her key worker and happy to go to her for a cuddle when dropping off.
I couldn’t recommend the nursery more.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child has been going to this nursery since he was a baby. He really enjoyed the baby room, nursery room and now preschool room. He really enjoys going to preschool and has made some really good friends.
I have seen his progress in the last three years and believe that his care team and key workers
have been very involved and helping him with his learning needs.
I have always had great communication with the management team and his key worker and feel they have always been very approachable.
I would just like to mention that in last year there has been a lot of staff changes, probably due to some competition within the area, which might have impacted on continuous care.

This is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My son has been attending on a part-time basis since June and took a long time to settle in. The staff could have not been more wonderful with both helping my son settle in and reassuring me as a worried mummy. They tailored activities to my son's interests to
help him engage with the toddler room and were so welcoming, caring and loving towards him. The provision that is available for the children to access is stimulating and engaging as well as fun and educational, helping the children meet their learning goals for the age group. I really can’t recommend Asquith’s enough and it is so lovely to know my son is in a safe and nurturing environment whilst I’m at work.

My daughter started at this nursery just over two years ago and I’m extremely pleased with the progress she has made. The staff have treated my daughter like one of their own and I love hearing about her day in nursery. The resources are fantastic and my little girl loves using the extra facilities
available here such as the tennis courts and dance studios.
I have been to many parents events at nursery and seen first hand how every child is treated with the utmost care and attention they deserve. The food looks delicious and my daughter regularly tells us that she has enjoyed her lunch.
I have recently registered my son to start along with his sister at this nursery and I’m looking forward to him enjoying his journey as much as my daughter has.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Warrington Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.954 for Bright Horizons Warrington Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (456 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 478 Ratings = 4.954
  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 Warrington Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 40 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 40 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.
