Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff and carers at this nursery are exceptional. Our son who is now 25 months has been going over one year now and he has received excellent care. We have a wonderful relationship with his key workers, our carers and we feel our son has truly enjoyed coming everyday. The outdoor space is fantastic
and the staff always organise great activities for the children. They also really listen to your wishes as parents and follow them. We have been really happy with the experience so far.

Review from Samantha K (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with Harpenden pre school has one that I have felt most rewarding and very much at peace with. Harpenden pre school offers a place where my son felt very comfortable and being shy, they made him feel at ease until he came out of his shell. As a very happy boy they maintained his energy
but also worked really hard to keep him active and stimulated.


The school is very accommodating of allergies and makes sure your child's needs are met with a healthy diet but was extremely impressed by their attention to detail in making sure my son was not exposed to milk.
I would highly recommend it to any parent.


Thank you to all the staff at Harpenden pre school.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.640)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.640) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Harpenden Luton Road 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.880 for Bright Horizons Harpenden Luton Road Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.88
  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 4.76 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Harpenden Luton Road Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.86
  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.
