Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson started at this lovely little nursery and he has come on leaps and bounds. He settled in really quickly and has made friends with the other children which has greatly helped him to develop his speech and social skills. He attends 3 days a week and looks forward to seeing his friends and
loves playing outside in the teepee and on the bikes. I am so glad that I managed to get him a place there and the staff are great at keeping the kids engaged. Fantastic to see him developing into a happy little boy.

By far the best nursery, four of my children have attended here and my youngest is due to start in September, my child who currently goes here has come on wonderfully. The staff are lovely and very polite and well mannered, always making sure parents are up to date with their children's progress. Plenty
of learning abilities, always very clean and well prepared for each day, lots of different ways of learning, always a fun environment to be in. Very pleased and would highly recommend to anyone.

Brighter Beginnings, Fitton Hill Nursery is the best nursery in Oldham. My child was settled very well within a week. It was very difficult for my little one to settle as it was her first point of contact after the covid lockdown. The staff was very professional and they welcomed with a big hug. My
child always went in with excitement and came out with lots of stories. Very good environment. Lovely team. Great parents and teachers partners. Recommend to everyone.

All 3 of my children have been to this nursery. I literally wouldn’t send my children anywhere else, the bonds my youngest son has with the staff is amazing. My little girl will be starting in January and I cannot wait to continue the journey with Brighter Beginnings, Fitton Hill.

Brighter Beginnings, Fitton Hill, is by far the best decision I made for my little boy. The things he has learnt is fantastic. The staff are amazing and all go above and beyond for the children every day. The environment they create is fun, caring, safe and super stimulating. I honestly could not fault
the nursery in any aspect. My child has grown in confidence and I truly believe this nursery has played a big part in making my child the happy, caring, loving and confident person he is today. I can't thank them enough!

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
From start to finish, my child was left unattended for long enough to find a shard of glass and walked *with his allocated staff member* to me at the door... then proceeded to hand me the shard of glass! When I looked very shocked at the fact he had this, the staff member quickly snatched it away and
said "oh he's been outside with another staff member" this was never reported! I said that's not good enough, he could have swallowed it. She promised to be more careful. Then a week later did the same thing with another staff member but this time came out with a toggle off someone's coat?! This week is the final straw. I've taken my child into the nursery to be spoken to like rubbish. From today he will be going elsewhere. I can not describe the amount of stress I have had with this Nursery. So many things need fixing. Firstly the staff with zero training.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My child loves going and hates not going at the weekend. She looks forward to her Mondays. She is a right teacher's pet and is now staying another year, as it is the only nursery she has settled down at and all the children in the nursery are in her age range.

Brilliant nursery and lovely staff. Although my son cries whenever I leave him, I’m confident he has an amazing stay in nursery and soon settles. He’s made some lovely friends and enjoys going despite the crying when I leave him. My son is now fully toilet trained with the help from nursery within a
few short months. There is lots for the children to do and a lovely outdoor space. Snacks are different every day and lots of fresh fruit daily. Happy baby happy mama, thank you so much!

The staff at Brighter Beginnings’s Fitton Hill are brilliant I cannot recommend them enough, they are lovely and my daughter loves them, constantly wanting to go to nursery and since starting has come on leaps and bounds. She has made many friends both inside and outside of the nursery and comes home

Since my daughter starting at Brighter Beginnings she has come on leaps and bounds and the developmental progress she has made since being here is excellent and it’s brilliant how they have a designated key worker. She has come on leaps and bounds and has made friends for a lifetime that she spends
time with both inside and outside of nursery. The updates that get posted on the Facebook page to show me what she has been up to are brilliant and I love how there’s always pictures of them doing different activities. Snack time is excellent some of the snacks are things I wouldn’t think of usually and you get an update at the end of every day. All in all it’s an excellent nursery and I will definitely be sending her younger brother here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started her nursery in January 2021. Before choosing Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery - Fitton Hill, I have researched a lot about the other nurseries, for some reason I didn't choose many, others - did not respond. Brighter Beginnings had given me the best response to my emails, that was a
good impression. The lady dealing with all my queries and concerns, her response was genuine and straightforward, that was another good impression. When my child started her full time nursery, being a mother I was stressed about being separated from my child. No matter how many times I call the nursery in a day, the response from the staff will be amazing and they assure me that my child doing good. All these pandemic months they really maintained good hygiene and never closed the nursery.
After starting the nursery, my child is learning alot, I can see the development in her behaviour. The update about the child is accurate on a daily basis and the activity update on Facebook is amazing. Overall I am happy about the approach. Thanks.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.952 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.952
  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, Fitton Hill is based on 21 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 21 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.
