My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons for almost a year now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are lovely, the premises is bright, well equipped and great for the kids to socialise. Best of all is her learning which has come on in leaps and bounds. I'd have no hesitation in recommending.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our daughter. As well as being the most flexible I had come across in the area for the availability that we needed, Bright Horizons also provide such a high level of care.
All staff are friendly and approachable to both ourselves and our daughter,
and now a full year in, I feel they are an extended part of our family and are trusted with the care of our daughter as such. We know that she is with kind and caring people, who will work actively upon her development and provide a fantastic array and standard of meals throughout the day. We can see her blossoming in her development, and a huge part of that is down to the team at Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool. Thank you.

My son has just moved up a class and once again it was seamless, no disruption and settled in straight away. I think this is wholly due to the staff who seem to know each child and their individual character. My son loves going to nursery so perfect in my view.

Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool is a lovely friendly and caring nursery. All the staff are professional and whether they work with your child or not they seem to know them well. The meals provided always sound delicious and varied. I wouldn't mind joining them every day for
lunch. I know when I pick my daughter up on an evening that she's had a fun stimulating day and at bedtime, she's quickly out for the count. A great nursery!

Amazing nursery, amazing staff. My daughter is incredibly happy at the nursery and has a wonderful bond with the staff.
The activities are well planned and focused around her learning needs, which is having an extremely positive impact on her learning and development, social skills and confidence.
Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a nervous first time father I was really concerned about picking the right nursery. I had visited a number of nurseries and from the minute my wife and I walked through the door I knew Bright Horizons (Church-Crookham) was the place for my son. We received a warm welcome from the Deputy Manager and
the team and they gave us a guided tour introducing various members of the team. Nothing was to much trouble and I really felt that they had a genuine passion for engaging and helping the kids in their care grow and develop.


Last Wednesday 07 June 2017 I went to pick my son up & before I got to his room I could hear all the kids laughing and giggling they were all playing in the black and white corner taking turns to jump in the middle of the play mats. This just summed up the team's approach and I knew I had made the right choice for my son.

My husband and I absolutely love this nursery. Our daughter has attended since late last year and the care provided is superb.
It is always very hard making the decision to go back to work and leave them in the care of someone else but the team there made it a very easy step.
I love all the processes
that are in place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family. Thank you to the team for all you do to make it (in my opinion) the best nursery in the area.

Our daughter has attended this nursery for 3 years and absolutely loves it. From a parents point of view it has a wide range of activities, good food and fantastic outdoor space for the little ones to burn some energy.
All the staff are friendly and have a real passion for childcare.

My girls both attended (one still there), staff are lovely and friendly. The girls love spending time there (especially the sandpit judging but the amount of sand they bring home in their pockets!!!).
The garden is lovely and we especially like the open door policy which encourages the children to
integrate with other age groups and spend time outside. The staff are doing a great job.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bright Horizons at Church Crookham to anyone. My daughter has been there for 10 months now and has really come on in leaps and bounds.


She is joining to get out of the car when we arrive and loves all of the friendly staff, that have a smile and wave for all the children.

The food is second to none (me and my husband are quite jealous of our daughter's food options!).
She has fun all day in a fantastic environment and learns so much. She is really progressing well and is confident and happy. Her speech is getting excellent and everyone comments on her ability to try new activities.


We've had our challenges as do all parents with small children and I have been so pleased with how supportive the staff are with ideas to help us as new parents, always looking to support any challenges you may be having to ensure that consistency of care for the child.


I don't think you could possibly find a better place!

Both my children have attended this nursery. It's such a pleasant environment children are inside and outside as they wish. There are lots of activities and the staff are all very friendly and build up a real rapport with the children.
It is also very well run in a pragmatic, friendly and highly competent
manner. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough - it's worth the extra travel to get to it from my house and I never have any qualms at all in dropping my daughter there.

As a nursery teacher, I'm very fussy about where my son goes to nursery. I cannot say how happy I am with Bright Horizons and the staff in the Investigators room. Every day, I arrive to find my son literally shouting with joy in the garden. He has so much fun and there is no doubt the staff really care
about the children. They forever have children hanging off them and cuddling them. It's a lovely, warm environment and I love that staff are allowed to express themselves.

A welcoming nursery as soon as you walk through the door. Staff are always happy to help and friendly. I feel at ease leaving my child in their care and feel he is developing well for his age. All staff know the children well and their routines, it feels like a home from home.
I love the free flow
aspect of the nursery as my little one loves the outdoors.
I love how management keeps parents up to date with relevant information and events coming up within the setting.

My only criticisms are the meal times and area for the children to sleep. Lunch and supper are both too early and it would be great if there was a quiet area for them to sleep. Sometimes there is too much going on and he's too excited to sleep or he's woken up after a short space of time so is over
tired when he gets home.
That said the staff care and are really friendly. We're always greeted with a smile and our little boy enjoys his time at nursery. Am very impressed with Bright Horizons Church Crookham Day Nursery and Preschool.

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

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.
