I have been absolutely thrilled with the care and attention our child has received at Tytherington Bright Horizons. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and supported, and it's clear that they genuinely care about the children in their care.
The facilities are always clean, well-maintained,
and full of fun, engaging activities that help foster creativity and learning. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, and it's evident that the staff are highly trained and passionate about early childhood development.
The team is incredibly responsive to our needs, and they regularly communicate updates via the app throughout the day.
I would highly recommend them to any family looking for a nurturing, educational, and loving environment.

My daughter is currently at Bright Horizons Tytherington and the nursery are amazing. They made the transition from another local nursery very smooth, not only supporting my child but ourselves as parents. The staff are lovely and offer soo many different activities. My daughter is always happy to go
and I feel safe leaving her with the very nurturing and caring team. The management team are always on hand and always try to make them selves as present as possible. Just saying that "Hi how are you" at drop off can really brighten up your day. They cultivate a culture for appreciation to, with things like encouraging parents to recommend staff for the colleague of the month award. I would recommend this nursery as they have your child's and family's interests at the heart of everything they do and my child is soo happy there.

Bright Horizons Tytherington are an excellent nursery/pre school. The staff are amazing with my daughter, fun, attentive, caring and go above and beyond with all the children. They always have brilliant activities, which are also great for development and learning too. My daughter loves going and is

One of the staff members has been really helpful for settling our daughter into nursery, she has helped her grow so much in confidence and she is always keeping us updated and communicating to us on the app, which is great for any queries we may have.
She has made the transition to go into nursery
a very easy process for us.

As a parent, nothing is more important than knowing your child is safe, cared for, and treated with kindness. Sadly, our experience with this nursery has left us feeling heartbroken and deeply let down.


My little boy was left in a soiled pants for hours, which caused him a sore, red bottom and legs.

He was clearly uncomfortable and distressed, and no one took the basic step of changing him. It's incredibly painful as a parent to realise that your child's most essential needs were ignored.


When I brought up my concerns in a meeting, instead of being met with understanding or even an apology, I was told my reaction was inappropriate. I was even accused of bullying staff - when all I did was speak up for my son. No parent should be made to feel guilty for protecting their child.


We trusted this nursery with our son's wellbeing, and that trust was broken. I would never want another parent or child to go through what we did.

I'm extremely disappointed and heartbroken with the level of care my child received at this nursery. My four-year-old son was neglected and left in a soiled pants for hours, resulting in a severely sore bottom and legs. It is unacceptable that basic care like regular toilet visits was ignored.


When

we raised this serious issue in a meeting, instead of acknowledging the failure in duty of care, the staff shifted the blame and accused us of overreacting and even bullying their staff - an unfair and upsetting response to a genuine parental concern.


A nursery should be a safe, caring environment where children are treated with dignity and their basic needs met-this was clearly not the case here. I would not recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a trustworthy, compassionate setting for their child. I am in the process of escalating this with Ofsted by providing them with all the evidence we have collected and documented.

Bright Horizons has been a wonderful place for our son to start his education journey. I feel so relaxed knowing he is in good, caring hands and the way he hugs his key workers shows me what a bond they've built with him. The daily app updates are also so useful and reassuring. Every staff member is
super welcoming and approachable.

Our son seems to really enjoy his time in nursery. He has built positive relationships with the staff (including the chef!). We really enjoy seeing the picture updates once leaving about what he's doing day to day. We've noticed that our son has been picking up loads of skills and has developed his
vocabulary. This is complementing well with what we are doing at home.
Thankyou!

Bright Horizons is just the most lovely, nurturing nursery. The staff are so caring and my little girl loves each and everyone. She settled in very quickly.
The activities are varied and engaging and the food is well balanced and seems a step above other nurseries.
One member of staff, in particular,
is just fantastic and integral to the nursery room's efficiency and family.

We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, in simple terms, they are just amazing!
Our son has been attending for a while now and we've been consistently impressed by the care and dedication shown by the entire team. From day one, the setting has felt welcoming and homely and it's clear that
the staff genuinely care about the children.
A special mention must go to the toddler room team who have worked tirelessly to nurture my son's love for learning, especially his interest in numbers and a kids' number TV programme. The team's creativity, patience and enthusiasm have made a big impact on his development and happiness.
Even after the unexpected closure of another location, the transition to this nursery was handled seamlessly, ensuring that my son continued to thrive without disruption.
Thank you to everyone for making my son's time at the nursery so memorable and positive. We'll always look back fondly on this chapter of his early years.
Kind regards.

Watching my little girl happily leave my arms as she goes to a member of staff at Bright Horizons is a joy to watch. Since being at nursery she has become more confident and is learning so many new skills and seems to learn a new word every day. The staff ensure there is lots of messy and outdoor play
which my little girl loves to do. I cannot recommend Bright Horizons enough. Amazing staff and a lovely nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Tytherington Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.800 for Bright Horizons Tytherington Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (426 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 480 Ratings = 4.8

  • b) 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 Tytherington Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 95 number of registered child places is 19, which has been reached with 38 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
