Brighter Beginnings Charlestown is a spacious purpose-built nursery providing rooms for before and after school, holiday clubs and large outdoor play areas.

Charlestown was inspected in March 2017 and was graded 'Outstanding' for both nurseries and out of school club provision.

There is a highly-qualified team of outstanding practitioners who ensure that all children make excellent progress, in particular in getting ready for school.

Many parents choose to keep their children at BB Charlestown until statutory school age because the children make such good progress in their small groups and parents also benefit from the convenience of full day care all year round.

The curriculum is designed in order that children play and explore whilst they have fun and learn. There is a full range of exciting activities planned for them both in the nursery and on the many trips they take outside.

The nursery curriculum has also many extra activities, among them swimming.

My son has recently started after school club there, all the staff are helpful and lovely. My son loves it there that much that he has asked for me to pick him up later and later each day because he likes it there so much and wants to stay later. Thankyou so much for making him feel welcome! I've worked
in nurseries for years so I understand that if my son wants to stay later each day shows that the staff and the nursery its self is amazing.

Amazing professional staff with great communication in the perfect setting for our son at Charlestown brighter beginnings. As soon as we attended our first visit we had a great feeling about this nursery, being a first time mum nervous leaving our son the staff helped our son to settle in without rushing
anything and he is now thriving nearly 2 years later and loves his nursery as do we. The staff truly put time and effort in to getting to know your child and work so hard. The little extra details and fun days really go along way to make us parents feel included too. Thankyou so much to everyone you are all amazing and I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. Thankyou :)
Reply from Laurence Street, Finance Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, CharlestownThank you so much for your lovely review. It truly means a lot to our whole team at Charlestown.
We understand how big that first step can feel, especially as a first-time parent, so were really pleased that we were able to help your son settle in at his own pace and make you feel comfortable and supported. Seeing him grow, thrive and enjoy his time with us over the past two years has been a real pleasure for everyone here.
Our team works hard to build strong relationships with both children and families, so its wonderful to hear that the little extra details and special days help you feel included too.
Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your sons early years. Were so grateful for your recommendation and love having your family as part of the Brighter Beginnings community.

Both my children have enjoyed "Summer Camp". They are happy when I drop them off in the morning and always want to stay longer when I pick them up. They have made friends and i feel that the staff go above and beyond taking care and playing with my children. I've recommend this nursery and hope "Summer

Both of my children attends/attended this nursery, and it truly felt like the second-best place for them to be after home. The bond they shared with their keyworkers was incredible-each keyworker showed genuine care, understanding, and dedication to their individual needs.
It was so reassuring to
know that I leave them in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. The staff's warmth and attentiveness made a lasting impact, and I couldn't have asked for better care for my little ones.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child can feel supported, loved, and valued.

I love the nursery and so does my son. The staff are lovely, always helpful and offered support and advice where we've needed it. My son particularly loves forest school, he's always excited to tell me what they've been up to. He's well behaved, well mannered and great at communicating, and the nursery
definitely has had a big part to play in that. I know we'll both be sad when it's his time to leave, I just hope there will be space for my new little one to start when the time comes.

Amazing caring staff who support you with the transition of your little one going into the nursery. My little boy absolutely loves coming to Charlestown brighter beginnings. The activities are always stimulating for his age, he has lots of stay and plays and is always so gently cared for. I honestly
cannot thank the amazing staff in the rainbow room for making my little boy so happy and content while away from me. The management is always very hands-on and fully involved, communication is fantastic and you're always made feel very welcome. The food and snacks are very nutritious and again something he fully enjoys. I would highly recommend it to family and friends. Thank you all deeply for looking after my son.

Both my kids attended Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery from baby (7 months old) until now. The standards, staffing and overall care to my children are outstanding. I can’t fault the care and support they give to my kids. The level of service provided, not just to the pupils but also the caregiver or
parent, is definitely outstanding, where there is any issue, this gets addressed immediately when communicated to the right authority in the school. I feel very confident, comfortable or at peace leaving my child knowing they are definitely being looked after properly.

My son has attended this nursery since last august 2021 and he has come on in so many ways from feeding himself to playing, his speech to understanding and it’s all down to the staff at Brighter Beginnings! Especially my son's key worker who I can not thank her enough! The staff are always there to
help if I need questions answered and the kitchen staff are always very pleasant as well when you see them. Overall I do not think I can find a fault with this nursery and would highly recommend.

My daughter started Brighter Beginnings Charlestown in September last year during the pandemic. I can honestly say this nursery/the staff has been the best experience for me and my daughter. I had questions/doubts, doesn't every parent or guardian. I can assure you now Brighter Beginnings Charlestown
were/is excellent. At first, my daughter screamed clung to me to the point I was crying walking out feeling bad. Raindrop staff comforted her when needed reassuring her that mummy was picking her up. Within a couple of weeks that felt like forever for me she just one day didn't even look back at me just ran in as she says with her besties. She has good relationships with the staff in raindrop she has come on leaps and bounds. If you have questions or need advice the staff are more than happy to help. As a parent, they gave me the reassurance I needed to know that she was safe and that she was enjoying herself. I could say so much more just not enough space. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

My daughter started here in January in the raindrops room and was very upset and didn't settle very well, the teachers were lovely and very patient with her, a few weeks later we all saw a massive improvement. She went in with no crying, started speaking a lot more and began playing with the children,
now she comes home every day talking about the stuff she has being doing and always talks about one member of staff! She loves getting up in the morning and going to nursery now. It's a brilliant nursery, all the staff are lovely and make you feel very welcomed. I've also put my little boys name down to start in January! I would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone.

Being a new mum I was very nervous about my child going to nursery, however the staff made me feel at ease, they supported me and my son whilst he settled into the baby room and I started back at work. He loves going to nursery and enjoys all the fun exciting activities they provide in the baby room.
The staff are very approachable and I am given a good hand over of an evening with how he has been and what he got up to that day. I love how I can take his learning journey home when ever I ask, to share this with other family members. My son has developed so much whilst he has been in nursery and I can see that his next steps in learning are being followed and that he is well cared for.

I just want to say how amazing the staff have been in the raindrop room settling in my son, he was so scared at the start, cried even mentioning nursery but they took their time to make him feel welcome and safe. Today is only his second full day after settling and he ran in, knocking on the doors shouting
his key worker. They have also made me feel secure about leaving my son there, I was an emotional wreck at first, to the point I was contemplating on leaving him, now I couldn’t ask for a better nursery to have my boy! Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.170)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.170) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Charlestown is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 11 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 4.955 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Charlestown is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.955
  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 4.215 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Charlestown is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 125 number of registered child places is 25. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 25 = 0.44
  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.
