My daughter has been enjoying her time at this nursery since September, despite her ability to speak English. All of the staff have been extremely helpful to us, especially by providing us with daily notes on how our daughter has spent her time at the nursery, which has provided my wife and myself a
lot of comfort. I understand it takes a lot of patience to cope with people coming from abroad and we appreciate very much, all the support which have been provided to my daughter and our family.

A lovely, family focused and friendly nursery. We have two children at the nursery and we have been really happy with the care for both of them. The staff are a real strength as is the purpose built building. Both my children have engaged really well at the nursery and grown in confidence.

My little one is in this nursery for a few months now, she was very upset in her first few weeks, but now she just a happy baby again thanks to all the staff. They're so friendly and patient. My girl loves the food as well. The nursery rooms are bright and spacious.

Our son has been here since he was one and loves it. The staff are lovely and they are very considerate of the needs of the children. For example, they knew that our son formed very close attachments to his key workers, so left him in a class a bit longer than normal to improve the transition for him.
The
facilities are very good and modern and the management have kept working on improving and updating the spaces over the last three years.

Our son has attended since just after his 3rd birthday and has been through Babies and Toddlers and is now in the pre-school. He is happy, learning key skills and communicates well with peers and our contacts outside the nursery. The staff work collaboratively with you to maximise your child's potential
and provide support with practical aspects of parenthood e.g. toilet training. This is a great nursery/ pre-school and I'd happily recommend it.

I am very happy with this nursery, in particular, the care that our son is shown by his key worker and room manager, both of whom are lovely. Communication is excellent and I feel confident that any signs of illness are picked up quickly. The facilities are clean and modern. The management staff are
also very approachable and give me confidence. Overall I am very happy and would recommend this nursery. My toddler is in the cruisers room.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first day our son started at this nursery, he has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. The staff are genuinely welcoming, and when he wants to give them a hug at the start and end of the day, it shows just how much he likes them. Being a modern building it has all the necessary facilities, and
the outside "garden" area means he gets plenty of fresh air and can get "messy" rather than being inside all the time. Please keep up the great work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and management at this nursery. My child moved from another nursery where I felt unhappy with so many elements. From day one, I felt a warm welcome at Bright Horizons and the staff wanted to go out of their way to help my little boy settle. They have shown compassion
towards me as a first time mum experiencing leaving my baby behind for the first time. They have reassured me in the form of phone calls and pictures throughout the day via email. Furthermore, the catering staff are able to meet my son's complex dietary requirements with exciting and varied meals that he loves. In the room my son is in, the staff are loving towards my child as if he were their own, providing cuddles when he needs them as well as being skilled in distraction techniques to help him settle and forget Mum! I feel happy in the knowledge he is safe and well looked after as well as having fun and learning at the same time. I would recommend this nursery without any doubt.

I planned to send my second baby to the nursery that my first child went to. Having been for a session something didn't feel right, so I booked a settling session with Kids Unlimited. Everything felt just right, from the food menu, to the sleeping area, the indoor and outdoor space. My baby has been
there for 2 months now, he happily waves me goodbye in the morning and has settled so well. The staff are lovely and communicate really well. There is always a wide range of different activities going on. I feel my baby has come on so much in the short time he's been there, which makes me feel less guilty about leaving him. I'm happy that he's happy in his nursery.

The nursery have always been very good at settling my son, whenever he is poorly they are so helpful and quick to put my mind at ease. Choosing a nursery was incredibly hard but after visiting and seeing the attention they gave their potential new child, I was sold. Nothing is too much trouble and my
little one is now coming in and waving me off to work. Happy baby, happy mum and dad.

From coming to the nursery for the first time we were made to feel very welcome. Our son has learnt many valuable life lessons whilst at the nursery and loves going. The handover morning and night is very professional and thorough. The facilities are excellent and modern. We would highly recommend this
well managed family orientated Nursery.

We have been extremely pleased with all the staff at nursery, they have been extremely supportive as our son has settled in to nursery. In particular his key worker has been patient and worked alongside him to help him feel at ease and gain confidence. It's hard seeing him upset when he's dropped off
but we know he's well cared for and enjoys a wide range of activities while he's at nursery.

My son has attended this nursery for three years and in this time we have come to expect high standards of care and unlimited enthusiasm. Staff at this nursery are passionate about the children in their care and take the time to know them as individuals, tailoring activities to individual interests
and providing a stimulating environment.
My son can't wait to get there in the morning and my food has never measured up at home! We have always felt reassured that not only was he being well looked after, he was also being nurtured and encouraged. He will leave nursery a confident child, well prepared to face the challenges of school.

We moved our daughter here from another nursery which we felt wasn't providing our daughter with enough stimulation. We are so glad we did. The staff are fantastic, friendly, welcoming and very professional. I have been impressed by the wide variety of activities the children do, obviously a lot of
thought goes into them.
Our daughter settled in very quickly and I felt confident leaving her here with such great staff from the beginning. I have recommended this nursery to others whose children now attend and they are as pleased as I am.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.742)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.742) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Sale 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.782 for Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.782
  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 4.96 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.96
  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.
