A fantastic nursery. We have recently gone through a family bereavement and the care from the team was superb. They went the extra mile and did all they could to support us. Both of our children love going to nursery every day and that's all you can ask for as a parent. The information we receive is
brilliant, the staff know our children so well. Would thoroughly recommend.

My little one has developed massively since attending the Bright Horizons Nursery. Our key worker has been so lovely and attentive with him settling in. And he looks forward to his mornings. I feel completely at ease with him coming into nursery and know he always has a great time.

A fantastic nursery! My child started at Bright Horizons in the height of the pandemic. Nearly a year on I can fully say it has been the best place to send her. My daughter is very happy at nursery and her development has been helped through her participation at nursery. All staff a friendly and happy
to help with any concerns or issues. I would highly recommend to any parent.

Our daughter attends preschool at Bright Horizons Reigate and is growing so much in her confidence. It is such a warm, fun and nurturing environment and they provide excellent preparation for the transition to the reception. The management and staff are always friendly and supportive, and communication

My daughter has been at the nursery since early 2019, starting in the baby room and most recently moved into the pre-school room. Her development during her time with Bright Horizons has been brilliant, she loves it and the team always go above and beyond to give her the help and care she needs. The
facilities are excellent and the introduction of the Bright Horizons app has been brilliant, we love seeing her daily activities and being able to interact with the team more easily. We're so happy we chose this nursery for her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

A lovely nurturing environment with fantastic purpose-built facilities and great outside space for all sections of the nursery. Both my sons love their time at Bright Horizons Reigate and although my eldest has now left to start school, it is largely thanks to his lovely carers that he has made such
a positive start to life at school.

The managers and the team at Reigate Bright Horizons really make an incredible environment for the children. Their dedication to enhancing and nurturing the children as they grow is very evident throughout the nursery. It’s why I’ve been sending my children there since 2016.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Bright Horizons Reigate are absolutely fantastic and go above and beyond to ensure that the children are happy and well looked after, as well as keeping them engaged and enhancing their learning. My oldest son recently left and absolutely loved the pre-school unit. Our youngest has now
just joined the baby room, and is so happy and settled. I was worried about him starting during the Pandemic, but the nursery has been excellent at settling him, at communicating how well he's getting on and also sent me photos of his day it's really comforting to see him so happy! The staff at Reigate really are a credit.

My daughter recently joined the nursery and being a first-time mum, I was really nervous and worried. However, the staff were so helpful, allowing us as many settling in sessions as we needed.
This made us both more comfortable on the first full day. I cannot say thank you enough for the time and energy
all the staff have put into ensuring our daughter has settled in well.

Fantastic nursery, with extremely caring, kind and experienced staff. Both my sons have loved being at Bright Horizons Reigate and we would certainly recommend it to parents/guardians looking for a nursery for their child.
The management team are always available and very helpful with accommodating
extra sessions if necessary.
Thank you very much to all the staff, we shall miss you hugely when our son leaves you in two weeks for school!

Review from Nicholas S (Father of Child) published on 19 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whilst the facilities and outdoor space at the nursery are excellent, my wife and I were left disappointed with what we believe to be a lack of communication and planning around the departure of the key carer for our child.
Having lost confidence in this nursery and with management unable to reassure
us to the contrary, we chose to withdraw our child and have since started him somewhere else, which we are of no doubt was the right decision.


That's not to say that we wouldn't necessarily recommend Bright Horizons, as I'm sure for the majority they will be very satisfied with it. It just didn't work out for us.

Both of my children have attended this nursery since babies with my youngest now about to leave for big school. It has been a brilliant nursery, the staff have been really supportive of their wellbeing and educational journey and both children have left more than ready for big school. They have enjoyed
every moment of their time here and we will all be sad to say goodbye.

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months now, and although still has a few tears at drop off I know he is happy and well cared for during the day. He has formed great bonds with the staff and enjoys the activities on offer and tells me about them when I come to collect and is often still
talking about his carers and what he has done that day at bedtime! Thank you to all the staff in the toddler unit for helping him to settle and providing excellent care for him.

Bright Horizons Reigate has looked after both my children for nearly 6 years in total and I can’t thank them enough. All stages through to preschool have been nurturing with their best interests at heart. I always felt reassured my children were in good hands when I left for work. My children loved
all the extra activities available to them at the nursery such as football, handling baby chicks for a week or learning French! I’d recommend Bright Horizons Reigate to anyone looking for childcare in that age group within the local area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has attended the nursery since he was 10 months old. His speech and language development have excelled as a result of all the fun activities he is able to take part in during his days at nursery. He is making really great friends with his peers and strong bonds with the staff especially
his key person. The outdoor facilities are fantastic with each age group having access to their own garden space. The management team have been fantastic and are very flexible and accommodating to the needs of families, they are always available to talk if needed. Mealtimes at the nursery are great and he always eats everything. The nursery newsletter comes out weekly and updates us with events taking place at the nursery as well as the activities happening throughout the week. We also like the fact we can speak to his key people whenever we would like and are able to see his progress within his development book. We cannot wait for his journey to continue in the preschool rooms.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.758 for Bright Horizons Reigate Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.758
  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 Reigate Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 22 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 22 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.

Louise

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2014

Louise is the nursery manager. She has worked in childcare for 30 years, having gained her NNEB qualification in 1985. She started her career as a Nursery Nurse within a small nursery chain and soon realised that she enjoyed the managerial side of childcare, moving into a management role within the company in 1988. In 1990 Louise had the opportunity to join a small independent nursery as Manager and became part of the Teddies group of nurseries in 1997 which in turn joined the Bright Horizons network of nurseries in 2009.


During this time Louise has had two children who enjoyed the benefit of attending her nurseries. She also supported other nursery managers in a training role within the company to share and support good practices. After becoming part of Bright Horizons and having achieved an ‘outstanding’ accreditation from Ofsted at the Bright Horizons in Crawley, Louise decided that the time was right to further her education and attended university alongside her role as Manager, gaining first a Foundation degree and then a full degree and Early Years Teacher Status. As she completed this the opportunity to move to Reigate became available and she joined the team as nursery manager.


Her passion lies in striving for excellence and she is committed to the safeguarding welfare of the children, staff members and families at Reigate. Louise is also a Grandma and in her spare time enjoys visiting the theatre.

Recently, I completed a Level 3 SENCO course to enhance my knowledge and dedication to this field.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband on our family farm. Meeting up with friends and family is another favourite pastime, and I love to unwind with a good book.
