My son has been at the nursery for 8 months now. He started in Baby1 and now is Baby2. The staff at the nursery are great and the main reason that I chose it, along with the children always looking engaged.

Such wonderful place. The staff are so warm and friendly and caring. My little boy loves going to nursery. He has so much fun, playing in the garden, painting, singing and dancing with Beryl and running riot with his friends.


I can highly recommend Kids Unlimited Clairmont.

I cannot recommend Clairmont highly enough, our daughter absolutely loves nursery; weekly music sessions, painting, colouring, sticking, playing outside are just a few of her favourite things.
We have really noticed a change in her confidence and all round behaviour, thanks to the wonderful staff in
the baby annex.

Review from Rhea (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have 2 children attending this nursery at present and have used Kidsunlimited for 3 years now. The nursery and staff contribute to a very welcoming environment and the nursery itself has been organised well. The service and care that they offer is second to none. There has never been a moment of doubt
in my mind that the children are unhappy or lacking in care. The staff are really friendly, professional and happy to be there, the facilities for the children are fantastic and the range of activities that the children are involved in are so diverse and fun! There have been times when I've had to pry my children out of the rooms because they enjoy themselves so much when they are there. Highly Recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been really pleased with Clairmont Nursery, our son enjoys attending and has lots of fun. He often brings home with him activities he has done at nursery and loves to tell us about them. When our son started he needed help with his speech and communication and I am very happy that this has
come on immensely since he began nursery a year ago.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Clairmont 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.908 for Bright Horizons Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.908
  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 Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 20 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
