My boy has been attending this nursery since he was ten months old and he is now 2. I am very pleased with the service in this nursery. I am never worried when I drop off my son because I know he gets the best care and attention. Keep up the good job guys.

My daughter started attending this nursery in September after a few months of lockdown. The nursery invited her multiple times for settle in sessions which gave me great confidence as I returned to work. The nursery provides daily updates on what my daughter has been doing with detailed sheets sent
home, as well as artwork and photos which are a really lovely touch. The nursery are brilliant with communication, and every single person I have spoken to has been extremely friendly and professional. I am really happy with the care this nursery provides my daughter and I trust them with her fully, I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

I want to use this opportunity to say thank you to all the wonderful staff of this nursery.
You all created a safe, warm, friendly and nurturing environment for our son. He had a wonderful experience at this nursery and I am so grateful.
You handled the return to nursery during the pandemic so brilliantly.
Even
though he’s moved to reception in a school now. I would continue to recommend this nursery as you are a fantastic team.
Once again thank you.

Both of my daughters have attended Bright Horizons nursery in Cheshunt from the age of 7 months, they've been in every room (from baby room to pre-school) and have had the privilege of knowing all of the nursery carers. Myself and my partner have always been very happy with the level of care, cleanliness
and attention upheld by the nursery and we would 100% recommend them to any family considering them. Bright Horizons has given both of my children the best start and they went to school very ready and eager to keep learning.

Review from Stacey (Mother of Child) published on 2 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We highly recommended this setting for any parent looking to place their child in an environment which stimulates and enhances their development. At first, we had concerns about how our two-year-old son will adjust, given the move from his former nursery, which he attended since he was nine months,
to Bright Horizons. However, we were pleasantly surprised how he quickly he settled and got into a routine with the support, care and integration provided by the team at Bright Horizons. They have been extremely responsive to all our queries and my husband, who is a Behavioural Teacher, highly rated the resources and curriculum provided for these young minds. As a parent, we are also comforted that our son is at ease and happy to go to Nursery and know he can trust his carers in his daytime home. The staff work extremely hard, are always pleasant and genuinely put the welfare of the children at the forefront.

It has downgraded a lot under new management.

I cannot thank the nursery staff enough for how welcome they have made my son feel. He has come such a long way with his confidence ans is so much more vocal. He loves coming into nursery and I will definitely be increasing his hours in the near future. Special thanks to certain members of staff.

I am really happy with the care Asquith Cheshunt provide for my daughter.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming from the time we started settling my daughter. They have taken the time to get to know my daughter and she is always really happy to go to nursery.
I receive verbal feedback and a daily
sheet each day so I know what they have been doing and what she has eaten, this is helpful.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. I found it hard to find somewhere that I felt comfortable with as my son has additional medical needs. All staff have been so welcoming and nothing is too much for them. Always a calm smiley face to greet us. They were happy to be trained on peg feeding and caring
for my son on oxygen. They help us to have a ‘normal’ life and my son absolutely adores the staff in his room. He has progressed considerably since he has been there and the professionals involved with him comment on how good his nursery must be.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Me and my daughter both love Asquith, she started in the baby room and the girls in there worked so hard to settle her and put my mind at ease as I was anxious about leaving her for the first time.
My little girl has since moved up to the toddler room and the team in there are nurturing and sensitive
to her needs. They always provide me with an in-depth feedback so I know what she has done and eaten throughout her session. She comes home with pictures and artwork that she made which I love, I know when I collect her that she has had a good day as she is always very happy.
My little girl loves the food that is provided and I like that I know she has had a hot lunch. The management are warm and approachable and are very accommodating.
I look forward to my little girl progressing through the rooms. Thank you to everyone for making finding and settling my little girl into nursery so easy.

After having visited many nurseries, Asquith at Cheshunt clearly stood out. The facilities are modern and clean, as well as activities being well planned and varied. The staff have really got to know both my daughter and myself and my numerous questions are always answered. My daughter always comes
home, telling me she has had fun at nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When looking for a nursery for your child, on returning to work, it can be a daunting experience. From the minute we stepped through the doors at Asquith Cheshunt, we knew it was the right place for our son. The assistant manager conducted our show round and was so warm, friendly and knew every child's
name we came in contact with.
My son began his nursery journey in the baby room under the care of two particular members of staff. I could not have asked for two better members of staff to settle him in. Drop off to nursery is one of the hardest parts as a parent, but both these staff members put me at ease every time I drop him off and when I return to pick him up, he has had a great time. The communication is exceptional and I know exactly what has happened that day. Every member of staff I have come in contact with has been warm, friendly and more importantly has a caring attitude towards both child and parent. I could not recommend this nursery enough to any parent looking for that perfect nursery!

My son really enjoyed all the time in the nursery. He developed so well. All the staff is very professional. My son had a good time, he is so happy, so confident. English is not our first language, we speak only Portuguese at home and he learned English so well in the nursery that he speaks native English.
I more than thank all the staff for their lovely, hard work. They are very special. I wish every child in the world could have the same education my son had in the nursery. We are really pleased with their service. Thank you very much.

Settling my son into his first nursery was done with more care and attention that I was expecting. I appreciated the help and advice given by the staff, who have made this process very smooth.
This is a beautiful nursery with wonderful staff and excellent facilities. And my son loves it here so I
am happy. Highly recommended.

My experience of this nursery has been fantastic and I feel my children are safe and cared for and supported in being themselves. I have regular meetings on their progress and I know everything they learn. The extracurricular activities are wonderful and there is a family spirit within the nursery.
The days are organised and fun and all the family are able to get involved especially on weekends.
I would fully recommend this nursery.

The staff here go above and beyond with the care in which they provide for the children, my nephew has learnt so much since starting at Asquith.


They celebrate events such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day Diwali etc and encourage the parents to part take.


The nursery itself has great rooms and

garden and are all good sizes.


I can’t thank the girls and guys enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.731 for Bright Horizons Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.731
  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 Cheshunt Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 27 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 77 number of registered child places is 15.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
