Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has attended this nursery since she was 9 month old and has loved attending ever since, she has made great friendship groups that she has moved around the nursery with. She is now in the stage of getting ready to go to big school and the nursery are playing a big part in this liaising
with big school and making it and exciting new adventure as it is a big change. Also keeping me informed with her development of school readiness and how I can help at home.

Review from Micheal B (Father of Child) published on 20 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending the nursery since she was 6 months old. The staff are fantastic they know my child's individual needs through a key person system and I couldn't wish for a better key worker. My child's speech and language was a little delayed and nursery has helped her incredibly to catch
up to where she needs to be. The staff there have been there for plenty of years and have a good strong team. My child comes home and constantly talks about nursery its a big part of her life and don't know where I would be without them.

Review from Leanne (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been attending the nursery since she was 7 months old. Through all 3 rooms she has been in, I cannot praise the staff enough. All staff are more then happy to talk to me regarding my little girl's development, exciting activities she has taken part in and just her general day to day
care.
Throughout the 2 years my little girl has been coming their has always been a consistence in her care e.g. long standing staff team.
When leaving my little girl at nursery I know she will be receiving 3 healthy meals that is always cooked on site by the chef. The meals offer a wide range of taste and offer her something I would not always cook at home.
going back to work was one of the hardest things I ever had to do but leaving her at Bright Horizons Leeds made this a lot easier knowing my little girl was happy, safe and very well looked after.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery deserves proper credit for coping and re-housing the children during the floods in December. We barely noticed the transition to the temporary building. There was always a positive atmosphere and the children come first. Well done to all the staff!

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.
