Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
when my daughter first started (in rainbow room she's 2) I was always on edge, I'd message every time she was there to see how she was and always got reassured, she has been there 6 months now and I know she is well looked after why in their care. She speaks so highly of the staff in her room and enjoys
her time there even when she does go in a little upset which is very rare but she soon cheers up quite quickly and they always update me rather with a observation or a quick message which is so reassuring for me. I'm very comfortable with my daughter being at this nursery, when I pick her up she always tells me about her day and how much fun she's had and all the activities she's done. She has built some very strong bonds with staff members and even asks for them at home when it's not her days to be at nursery. I couldn't thank all the staff enough for all the hard work they have put into my child.
Reply from Kerry Heywood, Nursery Admin at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, OpenshawThank you so much for your heartfelt review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
We understand how difficult it can be when your child first starts nursery, so it's wonderful to hear that you felt reassured and supported by our team during those early days. Knowing that your daughter has settled so well, enjoys her time in Rainbow Room, and has built such strong bonds with our staff means so much to us.
It's lovely to hear that she talks so positively about her day, the activities she takes part in, and the relationships she has formed - even asking for her key people at home is a really special compliment for our team.
We're also really pleased that our updates and communication have helped you feel confident and comfortable with her care.

I will start off by saying how fantastic all the staff have been since my daughter started nursery, each member of staff has treated my daughter with such care and compassion. My daughter is coming on leaps and bounds every single day whether that be her speech progressing or her getting more sociable
with other children and that's all thanks to the staff at her nursery for allowing her the time and space to grow into the clever little girl she is. So a massive thank you to all the amazing staff at wetherby street nursery.

One of the standouts is the quality of the staff. Every team member is approachable and incredibly attentive. Communication is excellent and nursery regularly provide updates, share progress and are always happy to discuss any concerns or milestones.

The level of care is fantastic. Brighter Beginnings provides a perfect balance of learning, play, and emotional support, helping children grow in confidence and independence.


What means the most to us is how much our son loves going there. He is always excited to attend, which speaks volumes about the environment and the people caring for him. It's incredibly reassuring as a parent to know that he feels happy, safe and valued every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has a physical disability and additional needs. I was naturally worried about handing him over to the care of others. I had three nurseries to choose from. I am beyond elated that I chose Wetherby street Brighter beginnings. The nursery is perfect for my child. The staff are all so warm,
welcoming, attentive, caring, understanding, supportive and dedicated. After two visits , picking up on the qualities of the staff and instantly feeling safe and excited my child could not wait to start. There were no tears on the first day, he ran in barely having time to say bye. The tears came picking him up, he did not want to leave. He cried for a month being picked up. . This nursery is Fantastic, so much so that without hesitation I pay for him to have extra hours per week, money well spent. . The varied activities, support and stimuli he receives at Wetherby means there are no more tears picking him up. He is content and ready for a nap. I can not recommend this nursery enough

Started my child in January shes 2, absolutely amazing transition. My girl absolutely loves nursery, her teachers & her friends shes made. I get daily updates when shes there, the teachers have been amazing! My girl has eczema and can flare bad, allergy too and it did scare me her starting somewhere
new that didnt know her but wow has she settled in and cant wait to get there on the days shes in. Even the teachers from the different years (class) even know her and always say hello and goodbye to her. Above and beyond. I have major anxiety in general and especially when it comes to my children and at first I was on edge when she started but we are 2 months in and I feel happy, calm & enjoy knowing shes having the best time at nursery. Just want to say a big big thankyou to everyone here. Amazing nursery.

The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Openshaw is based on 32 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 32 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.
