Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since the new management has begun, there have been vast improvements. The communication has improved and the changes with allowing parents into the room has had a really positive impact. I still think there is room for improvement, especially for the price increase, with regards to the outdoor provision
but on a whole our daughter is very happy and settled here.

We love Bright Horizons and my daughter loves it! The staff are so lovely and she just adores them. The facilities are fab and she has grown up a lot here from learning from the staff and the other children. I’m particularly impressed with the food, it’s always really varied and healthy and she eats
very well at preschool. We also love the garden and the ‘free flow’ aspect.

Our son has been attending Bright Horizons for just over a year now and although it’s been a number of changes behind the scenes, we’re really pleased with how it’s all gone.
The staff are fantastic, always positive and handle any challenging situations really well.
The app is a great way to remain
connected to the day-to-day, the menu is fantastic and any requests such as nap time limits are always respected.
The nursery itself is modern, designed specifically to be a nursery and has enough room where it doesn’t feel overcrowded.


We fully expect to send any additional siblings in the future.

All of the nursery staff are outstanding and have enabled our little one to settle and flourish very quickly. Facilities are excellent with a well equipped garden that the children love to play in all year round. Various activities are always created, keeping it interesting whilst fully developing in
a fun way. Food is excellent and dietary requirements are thoroughly considered. Overall, we couldn’t recommend enough!

I love everything about this place and how much my son is learning. He gives big hugs to his key worker every morning and I have confidence that we will be kept informed if anything is worrying or when he is sick etc! He has developed so much in confidence and social skills and language. Thank you.

Great experience for the kids - the visiting animals were lovely and a nice experience for all different ages.
The staff were on hand as I came solo with two children - and they were able to help support me and allow both my little ones free play and getting messy with all the activities. Another
great stay and play by the Church Crookham team.

Great staff, really nice nursery… could not have hoped for a better place. My child loves every moment spent in there and enjoys all the activities/learnings. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for either a part-time or a full-time nursery.

My daughter has been going to Bright Horizons nursery in Church Crookham since December 2020. She was 11 months old when she started and being a lock-down baby was very unsettled around new faces. The staff were brilliant at helping her settle in and also fab at reassuring me that she was enjoying her
time at nursery. Within a week she was happily waving me off! The nursery is very welcoming with lots of toys and play areas for the children, including a lovely outdoor space for when the weather is nice. There are plenty of activities going on throughout the day and the staff are fantastic at interacting with the little ones and encouraging messy play. I was a bit worried about nap time (my daughter isn't a great sleeper) but within a few weeks, she was sleeping a solid 2 hours after lunch. The staff are great at following a child's routine and any changes i.e. extra milk feeds or new nap times, they accommodate without any fuss. I'm so happy I choose this nursery for my child.

A fantastic nursery. Wonderful, caring staff who take time to know the parents and children. They have been understanding and supportive to individual situations throughout the pandemic and we can't thank them enough for providing a safe, happy place for our children during the week. Highly recommend!

Can't praise Bright Horizons Church Crookham enough. I have a son and a daughter who have both been at the nursery. My daughter still attends. Throughout the whole lockdown, the nursery have been fabulous - great communication, helpful and friendly staff, new measures in place without being frightening
for little ones etc.
The staff are all so friendly and have taken the time to get to know each and every child. My daughter loves attending and gets upset when it is a day she doesn't go! There are a wide range of activities which are designed to be fun yet educational. The menu is great too. I would really highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and friendly place for their child.

Where do I start, the management team here are exceptional, and because of this, the staff are extremely amazing. I can’t fault anything about this nursery - they are always willing to help, go that extra mile. One lady has been amazing with my son, and even though he’s in pre-school now, he’s never
forgotten about her. He always asks if she can come to our house and play - she’s made a friend for life. I will be gutted when my son leaves the nursery in September 2021.

My daughter absolutely loves it at Church Crookham Bright Horizons and gets excited when she realises its a nursery day. She has such a bond with not only her key leader but all other members of the team in her room. I feel very comfortable knowing she is cared for and has fun there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Bright Horizons Church Crookham for over 18 months now and he absolutely loves it! Church Crookham was the 2nd nursery I viewed when trying to find a place in the Fleet area, and I knew straight away it was the right 'fit' for us. The staff are wonderfully attentive and really
care for my son on a day to day level, but also from a learning and development perspective. He has loved every room he has been in whilst he has been there and each new room team brings a host of meaningful and rewarding connections with his caregivers.
The rooms are well set out and encourage a range of play and interaction. The garden is wonderful too and my son loves climbing into the Lookout tower or scooting around the garden on a trike.
The icing on the cake is the management team! They are outstanding! Involved, interested and just as knowledgeable about our son as the room staff, we really feel grateful for their input. I highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Church Crookham 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.908 for Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.908
  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 Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 20 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4, which has been reached with 20 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.

Danielle

Job Title: Deputy Manager

After a career change, she returned to university and achieved her PGCE in Primary Education in 2014. She then spent nearly 10 years teaching in the Early Years.


In May 2023, she decided to step sideways into the day nursery setting—a new challenge with much to learn and an opportunity to share her teaching experience. She has always loved working with children, and what she values most about Bright Horizons is the family feel and the genuine care shown to both children and families.


She began her journey with Church Crookham as the Third in Charge and enjoyed being part of a team dedicated to ensuring every child was loved, had fun, and excelled in their learning. In October 2023, she was promoted to Deputy Manager and is excited to continue working with the team, growing stronger together, and learning from one another.


Having her twin girls attend the nursery is an added bonus, allowing them to experience the wonderful day-to-day activities and benefit from such a truly special team. She feels very fortunate.
