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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When our son started experiencing separation anxiety, the nursery was really supportive and helped us with both practical advice for making it easier dropping our son off and also emotional support as we felt terrible leaving him. He now goes in no problem and has come on leaps and bounds with all the
interactive play and learning.

The staff are friendly and supportive. My toddler has been going here since January 2017 he has come on so much. They reassure me and I know my boy is safe here which gives me peace of mind. They keep in touch and genuinely care about the children they look after this is clear to see.

Our son really enjoys his time at pre-school and always come home talking fondly about the staff and his friends. His key worker is amazing and is teaching him many skills and abilities through the fun activities they organise, which he is always keen to demonstrate at home. The nursery school be proud
to have such amazing staff.

My little girl is happy here and has a great relationship with all the staff. The staff made her transition to a new room easier and comfortable. When she had her accident last year the staff looked after her and me throughout the day to ensure she was well. The communication between parents and staff
is good and my little girl enjoys the activities which take place.

Callands is an amazing place. My son gets very excited when we drop him off and stalls when he's leaving. Enthusiastic staff fill me with confidence.
Fantastic activities to learn, play and explore. Overall, I feel happy and secure leaving my child and would definitely recommend to other parents. 10/10.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.897 for Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.897
  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 26 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 + 0.025 = 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 26 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.
