The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Bright Horizons Greenwich Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 19 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Bright Horizons Greenwich Day Nursery and Preschool in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.484 for Bright Horizons Greenwich Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.484
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Greenwich Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 12.2 positive Reviews (61 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 19 Reviews ÷ 12.2 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My child is having an amazing time at this nursery. He has made loads of friends and is becoming very confident. He is learning how to count and is even speaking a little French, which I think is good. This is preparing him for the next stage which is school and I know he is prepared.
The staff are very friendly which I think is very comforting too.

My daughter settled well as the staff knew to cuddle her on arrival. All the staff are friendly and understand babies needs.
I appreciate the daily report and help weaning her off her dummy.
Very happy with the professional service.

This is a lovely little nursery, conveniently located near to transport links. The staff are very friendly and really seem to enjoy working with children.
The food is excellent, both healthy and varied. The rooms are very clean and all the toys and equipment are also clean and seem interesting for the children.
The only drawback is limited access to an otherwise great outdoors playing area.

The nursery provides the necessary care and learning for my daughter's development. I am happy with the staff, meals, activities and care.
I would suggest that the nursery should focus on taking the children outside the nursery as this has not happened since she started with you.

Our daughter has settled in amazingly at nursery - we are so happy. We believe this is down to the positive relationships she has with all staff particularly her key workers. It is always nice to hear the lovely comments they make about our daughter's progress, showing they genuinely care.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Joanna B (Mother of Child) on Monday 3 July 2017. Relates to June 2017.
My 15-month-old son loves Bright Horizons Greenwich Day Nursery and Preschool. He's attended the nursery since it opened in February and is really happy here. The staff are wonderful - infinitely patient, caring, kind, fun and genuinely fond of the kids in their care. The facilities are great and staff organise lots of messy play which means we don't have to get sand, water and paint all over the house! We've been very impressed with the quality of food - my son always eats everything and often wants second helping! The management team are approachable and communicate well with parents. Highly recommended.

Greenwich Day Nursery is a new nursery opened in January 2017. The delays in opening caused a significant amount of disruption to my return to work following maternity leave. However, the manager and her team have been very communicative and did a great job in supporting my then 12-month-old and me during her settling in period. She is engaged in activities, well fed, always clean and dry and she seems happy in the nursery setting. Her key workers and carers are good and baby likes them. There are a couple of minor issues which I've raised but they have been dealt with satisfactorily. Allergies were catered for. On the whole, I would recommend the nursery to friends.

I initially had concerns with this nursery being brand new and having some expected start up issues. However, my concerns were addressed professionally and with compassion. The staff have all been great in helping my child settle. I would love my child to have language and sports classes here. Mandarin, Yoga, Football or even a swim class would be great additions as well as excursions.

Our son has settled in really well and we can see the positive impact Bright Horizons has had on his development and behaviour. The staff are friendly and helpful and interested in his individual needs and interests. The environment is structured around different skill areas and the nursery itself is always clean and bright and well organised. The food is a healthy balance and varied, he eats things here that he won't when I cook them!

The building is a secure environment away from traffic. Good lock and key system to enter the nursery and a manager is sitting right at the entrance to welcome you. Spacious rooms for kids and very caring staff, eager to know about your child and what are they like at home. Even make an effort to learn our local/foreign words to understand what child is communicating to them. Very happy overall.

We are very happy with this nursery. My son started in April 2017 and since then he is happy in the mornings when we go. They take good care of him, there are not many kids and they always do plenty of activities and are flexible with food.

Our son has settled into nursery very well. We have seen how his experience in the nursery has helped his development and that he is very happy there. He loves all the activities and enjoys going every day. I have found the staff very helpful and sensitive to our son's needs. It is a nursery I would highly recommend.

My daughter has just started at this nursery. Overall I am happy with the care provided but I do have some constructive comments from my experience at enrollment and settling in:
1/ There were numerous forms to complete on site on first settling day, with info that requires referring to diary/contact book/mobile phone, the latter cannot be used on the site. I suggest this should be emailed to parents to complete before first settling in day.
2/ Baby room should have no outside shoe policy.
3/ Admin staff communication could be friendlier, and more empathic to parents who may not have experienced a child's separation anxiety.

I continue to be impressed by the new Greenwich Day Nursery, you'd think it's been open for years! The staff are friendly and supportive to both the children and the nervous parents leaving their little ones in a new environment. My daughter is always full of smiles and stories when I arrive to collect her.
