Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the setting since he was 10 months old and we cannot rate it highly enough. As we head off to school this summer, I am confident that my son has been prepared by the staff at Bright Horizons to have the best start possible. He comes back excitedly chatting about the things he has
done during the day and has a close relationship with his key worker. Having been at the nursery for such a length of time, it is wonderful to see staff that began with him in the baby room progress to management and develop in their careers and qualifications too. I feel that there is a real culture of nurturing for both children and colleagues. We will be very sad to leave!

My son attends two full days a week and absolutely loves it. Me and my partner feel really relaxed when he is there and the management in the baby room is amazing. They always give a full handover of his day and do so much with him. Couldn’t recommend a better nursery.

My child has settled in so well, having been at another setting before hand, seeing him walk in happily to his key person who he has an amazing bond with really makes me as a mum feel relaxed whilst working. The team go above and beyond in his room and always keep me in the loop about his day.

The nursery has been excellent for my daughter. She has grown and developed so much under such fantastic and energetic staff. Questions and queries are quickly answered and there is a real sense of care as soon as you walk in. A varied menu cooked by an excellent chef which my daughter always eats.
Excellent all around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child is always excited about going to Worthing Day Nursery and comes out full of excitement to share what they've all been up to that day.
Communication with the staff is superb and they will always go out of their way to listen to any concerns and answer questions thoroughly.
The staff challenge
our child to extend their learning in a fun way, updating us frequently on achievement and next steps.
The hours available are really helpful, with breakfast and extra snacks provided beyond tea time (not standard in some nurseries).
The menu is brilliant, with an on-site chef who creates meals our child wouldn't usually eat anywhere else!

My son has been attending this nursery since he turned 1 year old. The staff overall was excellent in helping him to settle in. Ever since, his confidence grew massively and he loves being in there and playing with his friends (even though morning goodbyes are still a little hard for him).
The daily
communication from the nursery is through an app and they always try to send updates with pictures of what the kids have been up to.
I also find that I can share my concerns or my child's progress with the staff and they are always there to listen or provide their professional advice. I can only recommend this nursery.

Very kind and caring staff. Excellent education for the children. I recommend it perfectly. Clean interior with no shoes policy. Healthy foods but I think it would be more traditional sometimes. Safe garden with, big wooden climbing frame, wish there would be a hanging swing made of tyres.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bright Horizons, Worthing is a fantastic nursery. We recently moved to the area so had to move our 3-year-old daughter to a different nursery. She never settled well at the last nursery but the team here have settled her perfectly. She adores the staff and her days are full of fun activities and she
has progressed so much.
The staff are also so helpful and kind to the parents. Always there if you need any advice and build great bonds with all the children.
I cannot thank them enough or recommend this nursery more. I would give more stars if possible.

I have both of my children at the nursery with my eldest attending since 2019. Whilst there has been a change in the ownership throughout this time, I feel it has only improved since becoming part of Bright Horizons Day Nursery. The staff and management are brilliant and my children have built lovely
bonds with them. The communication is excellent and I love regularly receiving pictures/videos of them during the day. It is a lovely, nurturing nursery which I would definitely recommend.

We are so happy our son is attending this nursery. He started when he was 1 year old and was extremely attached to his parents as we don't have a family in the UK and our son did not have any experience of staying with anyone, but his parents. We were very concerned about his adaptation to the nursery.
However, it took just a few days and we saw an amazing transformation: our son became more independent, started walking after a week in the nursery and even started using sign language. Now he feels bored staying at home and is happy to go to the nursery, since the staff is very creative with different activities. We are very grateful to our key person, she is extremely kind, caring, attentive and we can see how much love she is expressing towards the children. We are also very grateful to the management and other staff members.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Greatsaurus in July after us relocating and she (and we) absolutely adore this nursery! The manager and deputy manager are so full of energy, ideas and passion. The nursery workers and our daughter's key worker are incredible with her and she has progressed so much, in just a
few short months. The communication with parents is consistently excellent and we are given the opportunity to come in and participate, during workshops. They are all so knowledgeable, caring and our daughter loves telling us about the different activities and local trips they have done. It is always clean and the different rooms provide a varied environment for her. Could not be happier with this nursery.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My boy attended nursery for about twelve months and it is a lovely place with plenty of activities and resources. However, when he was 2 years old he was diagnosed with ASD (autism) I felt the staff did not receive enough training to look after children with additional needs.
On many occasions, he
was not encouraged to participate in activities or neither seen as an individual. On one occasion I logged in to see him and I witnessed when an adult had 7 children in a room, including mine, but she set the table for only 6 of them, not even trying to encourage him to sit down and do arts and crafts. On so many occasions I witnessed my boy play on his own and an adult sitting by the door watching him from distance, fiddling with a tablet or even with back turned to him! It was very upsetting to watch and I lost trust in them.
The manager is excellent and she listened to my concerns, however, she can not be present and supervising the staff at all times.

After leaving another nursery due to neglect of my child, I chose to go back to Greatsaurus to help improve the confidence of my little boy.
The staff go above and beyond to meet needs and requirements; they are great with communication and working with the parents.
My little boy is so, so happy
at the nursery; he is thriving, and it shows at home too.
The main thing I want to express is that I trust this nursery implicitly with my child, and that is very important to me.
Thank you, girls; you're all amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The setting is spacious, stimulating and clean with a nice garden. The staff are very knowledgeable, understanding and friendly. They are very good at their communication as well, and as a parent, you feel completely involved and up-to-date about all aspects of your child’s day. My son has speech delay
and it is wonderful to see how much the staff are supporting him. They always think of further strategies to support him and his behaviour; it shows they really care. They are also very gentle and positive about their approach and clearly have a great insight into child development and what is reasonably expected from young children. The settles were not stressful either and I know it is mostly because of the professionalism and warmth of the staff members. My son adores his key person, they have a great bond, and he also feels safe with other staff there. Overall, we are so happy that we chose Greatsaurus for our son, we can wholeheartedly recommend this nursery, it ticks all the boxes!

We love Greatsaurus nursery. It has a real family feel and the staff go above and beyond to encourage and support the children to develop. The activities are varied and current and the staff go all out to make them super fun as well as educational. The food is all home cooked and of a high standard,
the nursery is also spotlessly clean and well organised. I have always felt my child is well looked after and loved here. Can't recommend it enough.

We have been using this nursery for the last 2.5 years when we moved our two daughters from their previous nursery and I cannot recommend it enough. They have helped both my daughters thrive and set them up for starting school, including my youngest who is leaving this month to start school. I know
she will miss it a lot - as will I! The staff are all amazing and so patient and caring with the children. I wish we’d moved them sooner.

We have been delighted with the care that our son has received at Greatsaurus and certainly recommend it to others. All the staff are very kind, welcoming and caring, and have taken the time to really get to know our son and support him during his time at nursery. We were anxious about our son being
cared for in a nursery but the staff were extremely reassuring and have done a great job at helping him settle in. The baby room is very clean, calm, uncluttered and welcoming. We like that everything in the baby room is at child height, including the high chairs where the children can all eat meals sat with an adult. The food seems to go down well and has widened our son's appetite! The resources are well-chosen and the staff are very creative at coming up with ideas for sensory play, crafts and activities. The staff are great at keeping us up to date on what our son is doing each day, and it is reassuring to check in during the day on the webcam.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Worthing 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.923 for Bright Horizons Worthing Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.923
  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 Bright Horizons Worthing Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 14 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 14 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.
