Review from M R (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had a truly wonderful experience with Riverside Nursery, both Grosvenor House and Holly Road. From the moment our daughter joined, it was clear that this nursery holds itself to the highest standards. The staff are very professional and well-trained, they also show genuine care and attentiveness
towards each child.
Our daughter has thrived here, both socially and academically. It genuinely feels like a level of early education above what many school-based nurseries offer. We're incredibly grateful for the positive foundation this nursery has given her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter loves nursery! She moved to the toddler room in September 2024 and very quickly settled into her new environment. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and offer great advice. The communication with parents is exceptional, the app is always updated regularly, photos and updates are posted
more than weekly and they respond within the hour if you post through the app. The staff are always willing to take the time to speak about anything whether it's initiated from their side or the family side. The assessments are thorough and clear and we love that we get to go in and speak face to face with the practitioners to discuss. The food menu offers a good range, although could be a little more 'child friendly'. I love that they teach the children independence through their self service.
The activities are varied and our daughter enjoys all of them. The children are taken to the garden area or out on walks daily which is great. Would highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at riverside for three and a half year, first at Grosvenor House and now at Holly Road. The team has always been kind, warm, knowledgable, caring and invested in our daughter's wellbeing and growth. We have always felt she was very well taken care of and was always keen to go to
nursery to experience all the excitement, play and development which is on offer.
Now at Holly Road, the toddler and pre-schooler rooms are really well thought through and allow for so much imagination, play and learning opportunities.
We feel confident recommending Riverside Grosvenor House and Holly Road to parents in the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my sons have attended the nursery and we have had at least one child at the nursery now for 5 years. Staff have inevitably come and gone over the 5 years, but they have all been wonderful and my sons have formed some very strong bonds with some staff in particular. Both have also made some really
good friends and I have seen how well it prepared my elder son for school. We shall be very sad to say goodbye come September.

Bright Beginnings Twickenham provides a fun and welcoming environment for our daughter. We notice she is developing into a highly sociable and expressing little girl, who has formed strong mutual bonds with her carers. The only drawback is the lack of outdoor space owing to the town centre location.
But this is compensated for by daily walks to many open spaces nearby. As with all London nurseries, the care is expensive hence I only mark value for money as "satisfactory" but that is more a comment on the market, not the care itself.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 8 months old and now about to graduate from the preschool. We have been very happy with how she has been cared for in particular she has formed a great bond with every key person, and the staff are always very competent and kind. In preschool, in particular,
my daughter's speech and pronunciation have improved in response to the early phonics exercises they've been doing and she is showing an interest in spelling and sounding out words. My youngest will start here in the autumn, so am very happy to recommend.

I would highly recommend Bright Beginnings Day Nurseries, Twickenham. Both my sons attended since they were about 9-months-old (they are now 4 and 6) and the staff and care has always been fantastic.

I've always been really impressed with the care my daughters have received at Bright Beginnings. My eldest is now in pre-school and loves it. She has made some good friends and has a really strong bond with the staff.

My daughter has been at Bright Beginnings since she was 9 months. She is now 4 years old and has always loved it. The staff are fabulous, genuinely care and there is very little staff turnover which means they really get to know the children. I have never worried about her when she is at nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.445)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.445) out of 10 for Riverside Holly Road Nursery School 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.917 for Riverside Holly Road Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.528 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverside Holly Road Nursery School is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.278
  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.
