  • Bright Horizons Moortown Day Nursery and Preschool, Leeds
Bright Horizons Moortown children's day nursery, to the north of Leeds, is a friendly and exciting environment that children will enjoy. It offers high-quality care and education for babies from 3 months to children aged 5 years.

The low-level furniture allows the children unrestricted access to a wide range of resources and activities, and the playrooms are structured in such a way as to promote each child's independence, along with their decision-making and problem-solving skills.

The garden includes an all-new “No Mo” soft play flooring, new outdoor equipment, mark-making tables, refreshed specific baby area, activity sheds, climbing equipment.

Once a family registers, they work closely with them to structure their child's bespoke settling-in session. Each child is allotted a key person to ensure consistency throughout this process. Each child’s key person builds strong bonds with their key children, following their individual care routines and providing for their holistic needs.

This approach enables them to ensure every child's learning and development is focused on preparation for life beyond nursery. They follow the 'early years foundation stage' programme so that all the activities provided meet children's developmental age and stage targets through activities geared to their interests.

Moortown are pleased that from 1st September, the all-inclusive nursery fees at Moortown will be at a new lower rate.

The warm, friendly and attentive team of Bright Horizons, Moortown are what puts this nursery on a different level from all the others. The staff really care about each of the children's needs, abilities and what they like to play with and do, creating unique activities for the children each week. The
team are always happy and available to have a chat with parents when needed.

We love Bright Horizons, Moortown. Our son has been attending for six months now and has settled really well. It's small and the staff are really friendly. They obviously have clear policies and procedures they follow, though this was not always communicated clearly when we started, but staff are always
happy to answer questions.
The kids eat a variety of food at mealtimes, no snacks. They have an app, but do not post pictures of what they do on a daily basis, but you get information on when they've slept, eaten and had a nappy change. Our key point of contact in the rooms hasn't changed and has been really consistent, which has been great for our son to build relationships, but I noticed that other staff members have changed or they have had some agency staff. They have just refurbished and the nursery looks great! The outside space is a little small, especially for under 2's, but they do well with the space they have and are often in the garden!

My daughter started at Bright Horizons in October 2021. The management and staff working with my daughter gave me nothing but reassurance during the settling in sessions and considered my feelings as well as my daughters. My daughter has grown greatly in confidence even with only attending one day a
week and that is due to the outstanding care she receives. The staff follow her individual interests and provide activities throughout the day that she shows an interest in, making their planning spontaneous and adaptable to the children's interests, not only in nursery but from my daughter's interests at home. The staff really do tailor the care and learning to the child as an individual and with being a qualified childcare practitioner myself, I know how important this is to help my daughter learn and Bright Horizons clearly show a strong child-led and child-focused approach. I could not ask for any more from a nursery. I know my daughter is in the best hands!

We have 1-year-old twins at Bright Horizons in Moortown and we couldn't be happier. At first, we were extremely nervous, as it's the first time they'd been to nursery but after a matter of days they were beaming when we dropped them off. The staff have all been excellent and are extremely professional
and personable. We've recommended this nursery to some of our friends who have already started sending their children there too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our daughter started at nursery in January, aged 1, we’ve been really pleased with our choice. We chose the nursery before lockdown, largely due to being impressed by the manager and her team, who are fantastic. The team were really supportive with the settling in process and our daughter quickly
settled in. The nursery is small enough that although there are separate rooms, the staff get to know all of the children, which is something else I really like.
The nursery is really friendly and the staff are very caring and seem happy in their work, keeping us well informed about activities and what our daughter has enjoyed doing.
The children spend plenty of time outdoors and the activities day to day are varied, whilst giving children the chance to focus on things they are interested in. We love it when our daughter comes home saying a new word or having learnt a new skill!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Both my children attend this nursery, we looked at alternatives that were slightly closer to home but couldn't find another setting that we were as happy with so stuck with this one. I'm so glad we did. My daughter has developmental delays and various additional needs and the management and other staff
have never made me feel like that's an issue, she has integrated really well and loves her days at nursery. I'm very happy with the focus and care she gets and feel totally comfortable leaving her each day.
My son has only been going for a few days but already is clearly enjoying it. I would definitely recommend to other parents.

A highly recommended nursery and preschool. In the current climate and uncertainty that we have had during the pandemic, the nursery has adjusted well with all the challenges and ever-evolving restrictions being imposed on them, the staff and attending children.
Our child has attended the nursery
for 3+ years and always looks forward to going back the next day. He’s established some really good friends and relations with the staff. The facilities indoor and outdoor are great and tailored for young children and their evolving curiosity!


An excellent working team who are always so happy, professional and attentive. Can’t praise them enough.
We have another little one on the way and this is the only place we would look to send them.

Both of our children have attended Bright Horizons Moortown Day Nursery and Preschool branch and we have been very happy with the care, nurturing and education they have received in all stages and rooms. We have been particularly impressed with the preschool, feel of the classroom setting, the introduction
to phonics and basic numeracy which is an excellent preparation for school. The extra activities such as tennis and swimming lessons within the local gym have been a fantastic addition.

My son is two and a half years old and has been attending Bright Horizons Moortown Day Nursery and Preschool since he was one. Over this time I have been consistently impressed with the genuine care shown for his well-being, development and happiness, not just by his key workers but by the whole team.
The pandemic obviously brought challenges for everyone with children but the way in which the manager kept us updated with clear, open and honest communication, I am ensured nursery isn't one of the things to worry about. My son absolutely loves going to nursery and is there for four full days each week so it is a lot of hours to be kept entertained. The breadth of activities and creative ways in which they keep him engaged and developing is fantastic. We're now getting into the process of potty training, I feel so supported and that it is a real joint effort between us and his key workers. This is just the latest example of many of how conscious and supportive the team are and the real positive contribution they make to bringing up my son.

Myself and my husband could not have been happier with the love, care and devotion that the staff members have towards the children that attend the nursery and especially our son. Through their hard work, time and affection our son has he is coming from strength to strength in his learning development.
This was the first and last nursery we saw for our son and it was also the one that he chose to explore giving us a relief of security for him. It’s a wonderful, happy environment for him and all the other children that attend bringing the best out of them. I go to work a lot lighter knowing that he is in the best care that we as parents can give to our son. A huge thank you to all the staff at Bright Horizons Moortown Day Nursery and Preschool for the wonderful work they do for our children in their development and making cracking characters of them. Thank you.

My eldest child attended this nursery until she went to school and when we needed a nursery place for my youngest I knew that we wanted him to come to the same setting. I have complete confidence in the staff, they are knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. I know that they will keep him safe in
their care. The manager keeps parents informed through regular email newsletters and always responds quickly to any queries. My child always has lots of fun at nursery and there are always a good variety of activities on offer. He has a great relationship with the staff, so much so that he is so excited to go into nursery he often forgets to say "bye"! The staff provide informative feedback about what kind of day he has had, so I feel fully informed about what he has done and what he has eaten throughout the day. The nursery is well resourced with a great variety of equipment. I would highly recommend this setting to any parent looking for high quality childcare from an amazing team.

Amazing place where my girl really enjoys and has made really nice friends. She loves being in there and the staff are really supportive. Extremely happy to see the journey of her development with the support of amazing staff around her. Timely information on the things happening in the nursery from
the management team helps me as a parent to know what’s happening and what’s going on especially during this pandemic situation. Hearty thanks to all the staff for this tremendous support of caring for kids throughout this pandemic and continues to do the same as always. Bright Horizon definitely make us feel like a family!

My eldest child has just left the nursery having been there since the baby room. Each room knew my daughter well, she loved going and did different activities each day but within the same structure. Meals are healthy, and my little girl knows the cook by name, which I think is great! She's off to school
now and is sad to leave her friends and "grown-ups". Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any of my friends or family. The manager is always friendly and answers any queries promptly.

A fantastic nursery with a great atmosphere throughout. My little girl started at the beginning of January and it's like she's always attended the setting. When I pick her up she natters about her friends and what she's done at nursery all the way home. She loves the nutritional meals she is provided
and is happy to see the staff when she arrives. I would definitely recommend the nursery to my friends, based on the fun with my daughter has along with the levels of learning appropriate to her age.

This Nursery has really turned around in the last month or so. Before I felt the care for my 2 children was adequate but not always satisfactory. Since new management has come in, I feel much more reassured and that my two children are happy and being stimulated to a level not before seen. The staff
are helpful and assuring, even if when I drop my darlings off and they are having a bad morning. I feel reassured as a working mother they are in the best care possible. Any queries or concerns I have had regarding my two children have been listened to by the new manager, addressed and I have felt reassured as a parent.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Moortown 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.943 for Bright Horizons Moortown Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.943
  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 Moortown Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 25 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
