Everyone is very friendly and all of the staff get to know you and your child. They listen and remember any quirks and instructions. I feel very at ease leaving her here, the app is great for keeping up to date of what she's up to each day. Food is good. My daughter is very happy x

Overall we have had a good experience of starting at this nursery, the staff are very friendly and caring and it seems like a good place to be. They also take allergies very seriously. The few things that could be better organised are the administration/forms. Also some more communication with how best
to settle our baby into nursery would have been helpful, as my baby was really upset and distressed during the first week and I feel this could have been avoided.

My son started nursery in March 2025 and I have felt so comfortable sending him in ever since. The staff have been so friendly, informative, considerate and understanding of the juggle of being a working mum. The struggle of leaving your child with essentially strangers is really hard but I have felt
so relaxed and reassured which has been a relief!

I love this kindergarten for its warm, friendly, and creative atmosphere. The teachers have such kind hearts - always attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about each and every child.
As parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing our daughter is in loving hands.

My daughter has been there since 9 months old and she is now in the preschool room. She has loved every day at nursery and has so much fun. The staff there are amazing, always friendly, helpful and caring. The rooms, toys/equipment and outside areas are lovely. Managers are great and always happy to
help. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with a little one, knowing they are going to be well cared for and safe. They are also great with allergies, medical issues and food handling. It will be sad when she has to leave!

Both of our children have attended Bright Horizons Day Nursery and Pre School, our eldest through a difficult transition with the merging of 2 nurseries which has led to a much-improved environment. We've been really impressed with the commitment of the staff and the care taken to ensure their well-being
and development. They are brilliant at communication and answering any questions at any time. I would recommend the nursery to any parents looking for a place for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Deciding on a nursery to trust with of your young children is very challenging however it became apparent very quickly that we had made the right choice with Bright Horizons Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool. Our son always comes home happy and clearly has a very close bond with his key worker.
Communication is fantastic both through the app - where we receive regular updates, photos and videos - and in person, where it seems any of the staff in the room can tell you everything about his day. We can't fault the nursery at all, and would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for their children to develop.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loves this nursery. He attended another nursery previously, there was a safeguarding breach, so the manager and staff worked really hard to get him settled really quickly. He instantly bonded with his key worker, I got updates throughout the day on the app, he's so busy with the staff
doing crafts and sensory activities and the food is amazing. I can't fault the nursery, even when he's having a difficult day, his key worker spends hours cuddling him and reading books to resettle and soothe him. He genuinely adores all the staff and compared to his first nursery experience, his time at Bright Horizons Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool has been nothing but positive, I can't thank them enough for making him feel safe and happy.

My child started when he was 9 months old his development as a whole has improved so much especially his confidence and communication skills. The whole staff team has done an amazing job keeping his learning and development and his routine consistent even through the merging of 2 nurseries and the nursery

Nice care given to my baby. I feel secure and trusted to leave him in this daycare. My baby is a picky eater and staff assigned to him even feeding in between if he is reluctant to eat. He likes to sit and play with staff more than his fellow friends. If a day option is provided, I would be interested
to send him all the days. Thank you Bright Horizons Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool

Review from Sarah R (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My son has been here since 2 and a half years old and after he was asked to leave childminders beforehand, due to his behaviour (Autism query), he settled in great when the nursery was two different nurseries. We couldn’t fault the staff. When the nurseries merged my son had a hard time coming to terms
with this due to his key worker leaving.
He settles again quickly and he has found some great friendships here. He does still struggle to go in but this is not a reflection on the nursery, this is him and his anxieties, the staff are always great and go above and beyond for him when he is struggling.
He has had a few different key workers, due to staff changes, but he has always bonded well with them. I give this three stars, not a reflection on the nursery or staff but a reflection on the amount of staff changes that there have been. Also, no judgment to the management team who are so approachable and understanding. The SENCO is amazing and helpful. And our son is really enjoying preschool.

My son has been at this nursery since he was nine months old, and through the amalgamation of the two nurseries, he has always been excited to go in. He loves the staff and always has an amazing day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Burgess Hill 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.811 for Bright Horizons Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (305 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.811
  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 Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 29 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
