My daughter started six weeks ago and I'm so happy with how much effort staff have put in helping my daughter settle in. Very pleased with how well she has taken to the nursery and how I'm always kept up to date.

My granddaughter has been at Bright Horizons for 6 weeks. We were invited to an open day and was impressed from the start. She has settled in really well. All the staff are very open and friendly and nothing seems too much trouble for them.
Looking forward to sharing her journey from babies to preschool.

On our visit to Bright Horizons Callands, we were greeted by a room full of happy children all learning in a very engaging early years environment. The staff were all helping to facilitate the children's learning and kept a watchful eye while the children independently explored the learning environment.
All of the staff are very helpful and develop excellent relationships with the children. My 1-year-old son loves this nursery and I am glad we chose to place him here.

My little girl loves coming so much I cannot believe how much she has settled in. She has a very fun-filled day and we love the art she brings home, her development has come on so much in the 5 months she has been with you. I also could not ask for someone better to look after her. Thanks xxx.

Our daughter has just graduated since being at Callands from 16 months old. I can't praise the staff highly enough. Her journey is something that we will all look back on with fond memories. She has been given care and support throughout but mostly we feel that she has grown confident and into a wonderful
little girl, thanks to this amazing group of people.

Moving countries is almost as hard as finding a good preschool. We attended the open day and never turned back. The school and staff were all amazing and the transition was effortless. I would never think twice about Bright Horizons Callands.

We found the experience with Bright Horizons to be very welcoming. It was always very reassuring when we had to send our son in with medication. It was always administered on time and we felt our son was always in safe levels with the staff. We found the staff to be extremely loving and caring towards
our son and always took it a step farther to make our son feel loved even on days when he was not feeling like himself.

The nursery has been a home from home for our daughter. We have watched her grow into a confident, independent little girl. I truly believe the staff have helped encourage her to be who she is. She is very chatty, loves her drawing. The bonds she has made have been so special in getting her ready for
the next stage of her life. Thank you.

The nursery Bright horizons where my daughter goes to is very good. They provide all the necessary facilities which the children need to enjoy themselves (big garden, big playrooms). The staff work with parents very well. They give my daughter the best care possible, providing a safe and stimulating
environment for her and other children. Opening hours very convenient for full time working parents. I would highly recommend it to everyone who wants to entrust the care of your kids to someone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Callands 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.960 for Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.96
  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 Callands Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 27 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 123 number of registered child places is 24.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
