Staff are always friendly and informative, lots of activities to help your child expand key skills.
Staff always up to standard on first aid and accident reports always completed. I have lots of trust in this nursery as my child is always happy, talking about many of the staff when home.

Excellent nursery, from my sons first day all the staff have been lovely, so helpful and understanding. Due to the Covid situation, my son had never been around any adults or children of his own age but thanks to the staff he settled in amazingly, he loves going and comes home happy every time telling
me all the different things he has done and learned.

My son used to attend this nursery and had a severe speech delay, nursery helped massively with this, he now doesn't stop talking he came on loads with his development not just speech but all areas! He loved it. They did so well with my son. My other son now attends this nursery and absolutely loves

Staff are polite, very welcoming, inform us of everything we need to know, make sure our children are safe and happy. You know your child's being well looked after when they are here. Thanks for everything I highly recommend.

My daughter attends this nursery and looks forward to going every day. The staff are friendly and helpful and always available to give advice.

Amazing nursery, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting in April last year and has made so may friends. I’ll be sad to see her leave and start her new school in September but it’s been lovely. The teachers listen to your needs with your child, if you have any issues they will help as
best as they can, I couldn’t fault it.
Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton HillThank you for your lovely feedback, we are so glad we have played a part in helping her to grow and learn, she will be missed very much when she goes to big school, but she is more than ready for it now.

My little boy started nursery in January and he’s come so far! His speech is coming on amazingly, he went into nursery a full-time nappy wearer and is now out of nappies during the day! He absolutely loves the staff and they’re always very welcoming and can tell they really enjoying seeing his little
face. He comes home talking about the staff, they go above and beyond for the little ones, I really am glad I chose this nursery. My son loves going!
Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton HillThank you for your lovely feedback! We love him coming too, he is such a happy chappy and has settled in really well, he has made so much progress already we can't wait to help him shine even more.

My son was (still is) very clingy before he came to nursery, he never liked interacting with anyone other than the people he knew. Nursery made him feel very welcome and helped him get over his nervousness, he has come on a long way since joining and now is ready to go to big school in September. I
couldn't thank the nursery staff enough, my daughter will be coming in January. I'm sure she will thrive as much as my son has.
Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton HillThank you for your lovely feedback, he has come out of his shell and is a big character here at nursery, we will sure miss him when he goes to big school.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 2 years old and he is progressing more and more everyday. The teachers fully support him with his needs and they always keep me updated with how he behaves during the day and what he’s been up to. I made the right choice sending my son here as he loves
it here and always runs into nursery as soon as the gates are open. I highly recommend this nursery for all kids, even kids with additional needs. Thanks to all the staff at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill.
Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton HillThank you for your lovely feedback Jayne, we have loved watching your son grow and develop and helping him on his journey, he has come on so much and we are so proud of him, he will definitely be a hard goodbye when he goes to big school.

My experience with this nursery, we all know and love as Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill, has been nothing but great. My baby sister attends this nursery and every day when she comes home she always wants to share something she has learnt or done during her day at school. A lot of the times
she doesn't want to leave school because she does not want to leave her friends and the staff. There has never been a moment where I have doubted the staff's ability to protect and teach these children.
Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton HillThank you for your lovely feedback, it is lovely to hear that we have made such an impact on our children and that they never want to leave, we would keep them here forever if we could.

My 3rd grandchild has now started at Fitton Hill, my eldest is very challenging as he is showing signs of autism but the staff worked with him to make his time there very happy, he has now gone to a mainstream school. One of my grandchildren are still here and just recently my 3rd grandchild started,
at first, he didn't settle so we pulled him out and started again after Easter. The first few days he did 90 minutes as he was getting worked up but his key worker has done a fab job with him and now he runs in and doesn't even say bye. All the staff are amazing and make you feel very welcome and take time to listen to you. My grandkids have come on so well and love going to nursery every day. We can't thank them enough for all their help and support.
Reply from Bobbi Trelfa, Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton HillThank you for your lovely feedback, we have thoroughly enjoyed caring for your grandchildren and although, it may have taken a little time for grandchild number 3 to settle we got there and now he loves coming through our doors :)

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Fitton Hill 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  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.
