Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been going to Bright Horizons full time since about six months of age (excluding lockdown). Even from an early age, he appeared to settle quickly and he’s always happy to arrive at the nursery. I can spend my working hours safe in the knowledge that he is safe, entertained and well-fed.
The nursery does more than just educate the children – they also instil kindness, tidiness and working together. I’ve been surprised on several occasions recently when my son has put wrappers in the bin without prompting and fetched my shoes and coat before we go out for a walk. One of my favourite things about the nursery is the interest staff have in tracking the children's development – they have their own scrapbooks which staff regularly update with pictures and anecdotes.

We have been amazed by the quality of care and level of further development with our son, he always has a smile on his face and loves attending, he makes friends very easily with his peers and the staff, without the additional learning structure provided we are certain he wouldn't be as far along with
his development in both communication/socialising skills and with his fine motor skills and fitness, in the current situation that we all face it would be almost impossible to provide as varied and well-suited activities and learning tools that are provided by the nursery, we can't thank the staff enough.

Our daughter has recently transitioned from the baby to the toddler room. The staff made what could have been a challenging period much easier through their support and tailored care to suit our daughter's needs. Our daughter continues to flourish in the environment and we feel she is being fully supported
to reach her learning/developmental goals.

It was lovely to experience pre-school with my daughter and join in on some activities which were really fun! I also had the opportunity to discuss her development with her key workers and how she learns, some ideas which we will definitely take home! Thanks to all the staff for a lovely morning.

My daughter loves preschool and we love the nursery. The staff are great and so caring, kids are bonding with the staff from their rooms and they are learning so much. Activities are great and each day they learn something new. Exploring in the garden is also a great experience and the facilities and
the manager are great.

My son was new to this nursery and he settled really well in a short time, thanks to the staff and teachers who took good care of him during this time. He learnt a lot of things in here. He always wants to stay here and doesn't want to go home when I come to pick him up. This shows how much he is enjoying
his time here. If possible I'll send my second son here soon.

My daughter joined when she was 1 year old and the development and confidence she has shown has been significant.
The staff were excellent in accommodating specific needs and provide relevant and useful feedback on a daily basis.
There is no doubt that my daughter's personality and positive development
has been as a result of the staff's assistance and helpfulness.

Curriculum morning, all staff welcomed parents and children.
They were all very helpful and loads of information available.
They provide parents and children with the confidence to ask questions, answering fully and working in partnership as a group of 3 (children, parents and staff).

I can't thank all of the staff at Leeds Day nursery enough for getting to know my daughter and helping her settle in and for reassuring me too.
My daughter loves going to nursery and I am glad she has your staff in her life.

One of the best nurseries at Leeds, the staff are very caring and affectionate to the little ones. My little one had a very good time here. I would strongly recommend anyone to entrust their little precious gems with this nursery. They would be in good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery, really happy with the staff and managers! My son never wants to come home when we collect him at the end of the day, however, this makes me feel better about leaving him with you whilst mum and dad go off to work. On another note, which I will discuss further, I feel that his bottom
doesn't get changed enough as it's only 2 times. So by the time we put him in the car and get him home he is wet through.

I love the nursery. The staff are very kind, they are really in love with our lovely babies.
The experience can't be described in words. My daughter settled in very well. Her confidence has improved, she is always talking about her friends from the nursery.
She will dress herself just to be able to
go to the nursery as soon as possible.
I would highly recommend this nursery. All the girls are amazing.

I love this nursery as much as my daughter.
Choosing a total stranger to take care of the most important person you've ever known is daunting. I was instantly put at ease by the staff at Bright Horizons Leeds.
The nursery is clean and safe. The choice of meals is varied and healthy.
My daughter has
been here for 18 months moving from baby room to rising 3's and all the staff are welcoming and supportive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery since she turned 1 and is now leaving to start school. I have been so impressed with the level of care and education this nursery has provided my daughter. when she first started she did not settle at all. On numerous occasions I was told that she did not want to
do anything so she spent a lot of time being consoled by a member of staff. My worst fear was that she would be left on her own but she was given extra attention to ensure she settled in.
Since being in Pre-school room she has become confident and has learnt so much. The time and effort that the staff put into the children is remarkable and helps them prepare for school and the next chapter of their life.
Sending my daughter to Bright Horizons was the best decision I made and it has turned her into a well behaved intelligent girl.
Thank you to all of the staff who have looked after my daughter.

After only a short time at the nursery, it's time to move on to 'big' school. However, my daughter has been well and truly accepted as part of the family and supported to develop at her pace. The staff are always bright, happy and welcoming.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Leeds 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.965 for Bright Horizons Leeds Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965
  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 4.87 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Leeds Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.87
  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.
