Our daughter loves the nursery and has made some great friends amongst both the staff and her fellow toddlers/pre-schoolers. The girls are wonderful with her and the facilities are unparalleled. The menu is fab - so varied and nutritional.

Since my child joined this nursery, I have been very happy. Staff are all very friendly and good with the children. Feedback at the end of the day is always good. I like the way they always seem to have activities for the children and the menu has a good variety!

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care at this nursery is second to none. Facilities are amazing but most importantly the staff who work there are approachable, caring and look after my daughter so well. She loves her time there and all the staff too. The acting manager is brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them.
On the odd occasion that my daughter has left her beloved teddy there one of the staff comes to our home and hand delivers him! We just wish the acting manager could become the permanent manager.

Our 3-year son attends the preschool and has a great time! We've been particularly impressed by the support we've received with toilet training and his cooking lessons. He loves it and settled in really well. The staff to children ratio is excellent. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 11-month old son started at the Crawley Maidenbower Day Nursery a few weeks ago. The team have made him feel so welcome and he has settled-in better than we could have ever have hoped. The nursery is heads and shoulders above any other that we visited in the area in terms of facilities/cleanliness
and the level of care and attention to his individual needs/dietary requirements has been fantastic!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.561)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Crawley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.909 for Bright Horizons Crawley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.909
  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 4.652 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Crawley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.652
  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.
