I have had 2 children attend Brighter Beginnings and would absolutely recommend it! Both of my children struggled to settle in and the staff were absolutely amazing and did everything they could to make them feel safe and happy, and allowed me to leave them knowing they were in the best hands! Now my
3-year-old loves it so much that he cries on the days he doesn't go! The activities are always engaging and exciting and always following exactly what my son is interested in. The girls all work so hard and clearly have a special bond with all of the children!

My little girl has been going for the last four months now and absolutely loves going. She started during the lockdown which I thought would of been difficult for her to leave me as she’s not left my side since the pandemic started. Due to all the friendly staff my girl has settled in amazingly and
we couldn’t thank them all enough for this. Her key worker is absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this nursery.

The nursery is a spacious, well-resourced centre. Managers listen to parent voices and act accordingly to big and small matters. I have been happy to send both my children there and they have formed great relationships with staff in their relevant rooms.
The nursery moves with the times and looks
to make improvements whenever possible.
The outdoor area is great and over the years I have seen it develop into a great space for imaginative play.
It is a child-centred environment and I have seen the staff make great efforts for individual children to help them feel safe, settled and secure.

I've had two children attending this nursery over the past 5 years and would fully recommend it to all parents looking for a nursery setting. I had some trouble finding a suitable nursery at first but upon first viewing of Brighter Beginnings, Chadderton, I knew it was the one.
It's a lovely setting,
clean, fun and very inviting; they clearly make an effort with both the indoors and outdoors to make it a great experience for the children.
Both my children have loved attending nursery here and the staff have always been great.

Every aspect about the nursery is positive. The staff is welcoming, nurturing and kind, the site is fun (lots of toys, the outdoor yard is spacious), and I think they focus on the child as a unique individual.

Since my little girl started nursery she has come on leaps and bounds. The girls go above and beyond for anything we need, my little girl can be quite challenging for her age and is very advanced as they all could say she keeps them on their toes. My child enjoys going to nursery and the staff are very
professional. Overall I would definitely recommend Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton for your child.

My son loves it at this nursery, always happy to go in. All staff are welcoming and ask if everything has been alright, always keep you updated with upcoming events and tell you everything you need to know about your child’s day (what they had for dinner, what they have been doing). Overall safe and
enjoyable nursery for children and polite staff to parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cannot recommend Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton highly enough. My 2-year-old has attended the nursery since being 5 months old, it’s like his second family! The staff in both the rooms he’s been in are phenomenal. They are kind, caring and extremely thoughtful. The knowledge the nursery’s
manager has of the early years curriculum shows and the enthusiasm of the current room leads is evident when dropping your child off. I love finding out what my child has been enjoying and learning about from his key worker and on the nursery’s Facebook page, I especially loved their visit from an ice cream van!
The food offered throughout the day is nice and varied and there isn’t much my little one hasn’t eaten, they have a fabulous chef!
I have no hesitation in recommending Brighter Beginnings Chadderton to other parents, and cannot wait to send my other little one when I return to work in September.

The staff are absolutely brilliant with the children, they are welcoming and caring. I could never ask for a better nursery for my child. They’ve helped her come along with her speech ever since she started and I couldn’t thank the staff enough for everything they do, not only for my child but for all
the children.

I moved my two year old son here in April from another nursery and it’s been the best decision. He loves it so much and comes home in the best mood. He’s come on so much with his speech and communication. My boy loves playing outside and the garden has so much for the children to play with. The nursery
has made him feel so welcome and included. The staff communicate with me so well when I do the pick ups and drop offs and always greet us both with the biggest smiles. They do so much that other nurseries don’t such as park outings and picnics. Thank you Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton, I’ve already recommended you to two of my friends who have brought their children.

My son started this nursery and from day one he has come on leaps and bounds. He has developed so much over his time at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton. He has found confidence in himself to play well with other children and his communication skills are developing more and more. The staff
at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery have left a little handprint on mine and my child's hearts that we will always remember and be thankful for. The staff are all amazing and so kind-hearted and welcoming I will be sad when my son has to say goodbye in September but I know he has the best start because of all the staff and Brighter Beginnings.

We have been with the nursery since January 2019. The staff are very friendly and my children are always eager to go to nursery. Both my kids are autistic and seen attending the nursery, I have seen a lot of improvement with their learning development. Staff ensure they are well taken care of and what
I love most is the communication and daily update on what they did, if they ate (as one of them is a picky eater) or what they ate, what they learnt etc. The school is well secured and a safe space. The outdoor and class rooms are spacious enough for the capacity of children. I highly recommend.

My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was 1 he is now 4, he has loved it from the start all the staff along his journey in the different stages have been fabulous, I've felt that he has been in safe hands and don't need to worry when I'm at work because I know they take such good care
of him. My little boy has had speech delay and the staff have been very patient and helped him so much and he has come along in leaps and bounds. Whenever I have had an issue with getting extra childcare or swapping the days around they have always adapted to suit our needs and always go above and beyond to help. I am so glad I picked this nursery for our childcare can't recommend enough, my little boy will miss it when he goes to school.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.957 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton is calculated as follows: ( (400 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 418 Ratings = 4.957
  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 Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Chadderton is based on 35 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 35 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.
