Review from Veronica R (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started in the cruisers room in April 2015. The staff were very friendly and caring and it really helped him adapt quickly.


The children have a wide range of activities and themes every week and parents can be really involved in their children's development. The rooms and outside area are

very well thought out and have plenty of places for curious little hands to be busy.


The new manager has made some changes that have also improved the parents' experience and involvement with the nursery. Love the fruits and the fruity water at the entrance!


Our son absolutely loves going there and enjoys every minute with his carers and friends. We are very please in how he has developed in nursery and would highly recommend Bright Horizons Sale to anyone.

Our son has recently joined the baby room at Kidsunlimited Sale and the staff in the room have been amazing. They have made lots of really helpful suggestions for making him feel right at home and they have really helped him settle in well to going to nursery, and being away from Mum, for the first
time.


Seeing him so happy in the mornings has really helped us as parents feel happy leaving him with the girls - who are really friendly and caring. There are different activities every day that are not only entertaining him, but also really helping in his development.


He LOVES the food and often has 2nds and 3rds. At the end of every day the staff make a real effort to not only explain the days activities, but to also share funny stories and sometimes photographs of the things our son got up to during the day. He always comes home happy and content with is great for us. For all these reasons we know we made the right choice sending him to Kidsunlimited Sale, and we'd recommend it to anyone.

Review from Jodie (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started in babies last August and has just moved up to cruisers. Leaving my baby boy at nursery for the first time was always going to be hard, especially as he was only 9 months old at the time, but the staff were really reassuring, caring and empathetic. I couldn’t have asked for more.


He

spends quite a lot of time at nursery because I work full time, but he seems to love being there and it makes me happy to know that he is having so much fun - even if it isn’t with me!


My son has always been sociable by nature but I believe that because he feels secure and safe at nursery his confidence is growing all the time. Thanks for helping us shape the lovely little boy he is turning into.

I am very pleased with the nursery. My child has bee there for over 2 years and I am extremely proud of my child's development. The staff are happy, enthusiastic fund and creative. The building is purpose built and therefore perfectly set out and equipped for a nursery. The garden is great and the variety
of fresh food offered to the children is fantastic. I could not be happier with my child's nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whenever I picked my nephew up I was struck by how caring and friendly the staff of the cruiser room are. My nephew was always eager to get to nursery and made lots of friends during his time there. There are always lots of interesting, varied activities on the go and even trips to the local park. My
nephew thrived in this setting and his language and self care skills improved dramatically. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and attention they gave him and I know we were all sorry when his time to move on came.

Review from Rachel D (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I were very nervous about leaving our 11 month old son at a nursery. Up until this point he had been cared for by ourselves and his grandparents only. We were concerned about how he would adapt to the new situation, routine and environment. Kidsunlimited, Sale were fantastic, not only
did they settle our little man very quickly into his new surrounding and routine. They were also extremely good at helping us, the parents adapt to his new way of life. The staff at Sale Kidsunlimited are so kind, friendly and caring of our boy and this is reflected in his stages of learning so far. The day our son started nursery a new member of staff also arrived into the baby room. She was introduced as our baby's key worker! She has formed a fantastic bond with our boy (its lovely to see how happy he is when interacting with his key worker) she is very easy to talk to about his development, any concerns we might have and also general everyday conversation. Not only has the key worker been dedicated to the welfare of our son but also the Baby and Cruiser team as a whole, they have had a positive impact on both our boy and us.
Choosing a nursery is one of the most difficult things to do as a parent. I am so pleased that we decided to send our treasure to Kidsunlimited, Sale. A super learning environment and such a delightful team of staff.

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.
