Review from Jodie T (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended here since being nine months old and she is now three. The staff take time to get to know her and use her strengths and work on her weaknesses. They are all so friendly and my daughter loves them all. She is so very clever and is coming on more and more all the time thanks to
the time and effort put in from all the staff members. She only has a year left before school and she really doesn't want to leave! The children in her class go to swimming lessons every week which I think is fantastic, and they regularly attend days out which are both fun and educational. If I was to have any more children in the future I would definitely be sending them here also!

Excellent nursery with outstanding staff and great facilities, friendly and welcoming at all times and all staff are more than happy to help with whatever, whenever. I couldn’t have chosen a better setting for my child to attend from a young age.

Always go above and beyond to ensure mine and my child’s anxieties are managed. My child is always given time to settle each morning and I am always informed when he has settled to give me peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Brighter Beginnings Chadderton Nursery since September 2018. My experience at her last nursery was not a good one, it left me anxious about leaving my daughter in nursery.


My daughter is a fussy eater, meal times are never straightforward, however, I’m pleased to say the staff

at the Chadderton go that extra mile for my daughter during meal times.


At first my daughter was tearful when either myself or husband would drop her off in the mornings, now she waves us goodbye and appears happy to be at the nursery.


The nursery is spacious and airy, lots of room for playtime and the staff are friendly, professional and willing to listen to any concerns I may have as a parent. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Review from Suzanne R (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children at Brighter Beginnings. The eldest’s key worker is brilliant and knows him so well. She is very conscientious, caring, knowledgeable and a great teacher. All the staff in that room are great with the children. He was absolutely thrilled when he was ‘pupil of the week’. The class
go swimming and play football once a week. The food has always been excellent with home-cooked hot meals with dessert for lunch and tea. We will be sad when he leaves to go to school this year. My youngest child started in September and has settled in well. His key worker is also fantastic and he gets a bit jealous of her! They do lots of playing, singing and making things and his vocab for his age is really good. The outside play areas are huge with a separate bit for the babies. The nursery also takes them to the park and other day trips. The staff put regular updates and photos on the secure website so I can track progress and we also attend parents night and play and stays. Very happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child attends this nursery and she absolutely loves it. I do not have any hesitations when leaving her all day as I know she is in safe, attentive hands.
All of the nursery staff are passionate about what they do and their level of professionalism is second to none.
The activities my daughter
takes part in are key to her development and she has progressed vastly over the past year.
Thank you to all the staff for everything you do each day, it doesn't go unnoticed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery for a few weeks now and literally she skips through the door every morning!
I never worry about her during the day and I know she is well cared for - I love hearing about what she has been doing from her key worker when I collect her and when we get home she
literally doesn't stop talking and singing about her day.
A great nursery with great staff!

Review from Kirsty J (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Brighter Beginnings Chadderton in January 2017, she had never been away from me by this point, so I expected her to be very clingy when settling. The staff in the snowflake room were great with helping to settle her, giving her a cuddle if and when needed.
She now confidently
runs into her room and goes straight for the breakfast table. She is so happy and it is great to see! All the staff are lovely and have a smile for every parent who brings their child in at 7:30. I feel comfortable leaving my child in the morning knowing she will be looked after and have lots of fun. When I come and pick her up she is always clean and staff explain if and why they have had to change her clothes during the day.
I am always told exactly what she has done throughout the day and given any artwork she has done that day. Her key worker is lovely, always happy and shows how much she cares about her key children you can see she genuinely loves her job and she is very good at it.

My experience with Brighter Beginnings Nursery Chadderton has been wonderful, I couldn't ask for a better nursery, the rooms are large and they have lots of toys inside as well as outside which is wonderful and my daughter loves it.
She is taken good care of by the staff and seems to be kept well entertained.
I
would definitely recommend this nursery you won't be disappointed!

My son has been coming to the nursery for over a year now and I can honestly say this is an amazing nursery, from the initial home visit and induction I was put at ease as I had never left my son for any amount of time, I was returning to work and the staff were so reassuring and my son absolutely loves
going, he is there full time and I can go to work knowing he is well looked after. He has been toilet trained and takes swimming lessons, dance lessons and goes on regular outings, as well as doing fun activities in the nursery. The staff are amazing! they keep you well informed and I can't praise them enough.

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.
