  • Bright Kids Coughton, Alcester
Bright Kids at Coughton is based in Coughton, South Warwickshire and was previously known as The Old School Nursery. On the A435 south of Studley, north of Alcester and situated in Sambourne Lane, opposite the historic Coughton Court, the Coughton Nursery offers indoor and outdoor play on a daily basis, providing the children with essential play opportunities to learn from.

The facilities at Coughton include a large playspace that is ready for Bright Kids to develop further into an interesting environment for children to learn and explore. Indoors, babies have their own dedicated area with activities suitable for their development. The Toddlers & Pre-school children share a space with integrated learning aimed at their individual learning needs.

The nursery plan to bring all of the experiences offered in their other settings to Coughton. They will be introducing a Curious theme to their learning and offering training to the whole team. They will also be looking to continue their adventures in the local area and seeing how they can interact with it through taking walks and joining in with local activities and then they can also go further afield using their own minibus.

My daughter attended Coughton for around 12 months and absolutely loved it. The staff really helped her to settle in quickly, her confidence grew immensely. Coughton were always very accomodating and always on hand to help. For a first taste of nursery, we can't fault them, just gutted to leave due
to relocating home.
Reply from Tricia Wellings, Chief Executive at Bright Kids Coughton
It was wonderful to be able to look after your little girl. I hope she has settled in well in her new home and is flourishing from the start we provided for her.

A beautiful setting that has gone above and beyond for our little boy. Our son loves attending nursery and has developed real bonds with all the staff and even the other children (of all ages)! He's developed so much in such a short amount of time and we cannot thank the staff enough for all they do.
Would recommend this nursery to all.

Our son currently attends Bright Kids at Coughton and we are very happy. The staff are all fab and there is a very nurturing and family-like atmosphere there. Every staff member knows every child really well, so there is no issue on handover or collection if his key worker is unavailable. The curiosity
approach that they follow is lovely and there is always a great provision for the children. He often struggles to separate from me but the staff are really kind and helpful and have put in place strategies to support this for us and are happy for me to call to check he’s settled ok (which he nearly always has two minutes later). We would highly recommend the nursery.

My son loves going to nursery here and is always excited to see the staff and his friends. He comes home each day with a new skill, song or story, telling us about what activities he has done in the day. Highly recommend.

Review from Sophie S (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Until this month I had no issues with the company except one letter I received about making sure I paid my bill which I was furious about, one because the letter was handed round the staff in front of my eyes before getting to my hands and two because I have never in the time I have been with Bright
Kids or the previous nursery not paid a single bill.
On Monday mid-month of Feb, I called, as usual, to ask if my child could do an extra 2 hours and had previously spoken to two managers within the last two weeks which had confirmed this was fine to do. I got a response from the manager " They are stopping my child doing extra hours because of my account and that they want to make sure that I can meet my payments", I was shocked as I have not been behind in payments ever and they are trying to assume about my finances. I then had a meeting with head office and she told me "its fine if I take him out of the nursery!" I have complained to Ofsted as I only have 300 words to explain the end of this experience.

As a full time working parent, it is great to know that my 2-year-old daughter is receiving the very best care, 5 days a week. The staff at Bright Kids Coughton are warm and nurturing and put so much thought and care into providing stimulating resources and an exciting, ever-evolving environment. My
5-year-old son attends Wraparound Care and is well supported with a positive start and end to his day, he enjoys holiday club activities too.

Bringing my son to nursery, at just over one, made me feel nervous until I viewed Bright Kids and met the staff. A fantastic nursery, my son enjoys his time here and takes part in all sorts of different activities every day. I really like the fact they keep diaries on the children and inform you on
collection what they have been up to.

Chose this nursery for holiday cover and what a lovely nursery, with the friendliest of staff. At no stage were we anxious about leaving our Grandson in their professional care - from our initial visit we had absolute confidence. I would highly rate this nursery, the staff, facilities and the food.
It was a delight listening to how much our Grandson had enjoyed each day he was there. We shall definitely use it again.

My granddaughter recently started at this nursery and I have nothing but praise for the setting and the staff. It is a beautiful nursery with an outstanding environment and the surrounding countryside just tops the homely natural feel.


From the minute you walk through the door, you are welcomed

and staff make the welcome and handover feel personal and offer that sense of belonging from the offset.


The activities are something I've not seen before but they provide wonderful enriching learning for the children and I'm confident my granddaughter is going to thrive here.


I've been made aware there are plans to update the older side of the buildings which will make a massive impact and I cant wait to see it continue evolving!


Thank you for all that you do - we are very satisfied with the care that is offered!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Bright Kids Coughton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.847 for Bright Kids Coughton is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.847
  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 Kids Coughton is based on 18 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 18 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.

Holly Burgess

Job Title: Manager and SENCO Joined: 2024

I graduated from the University of Worcester in 2014 and have been working in early years settings, both in mainstream and special education ever since.


Creating a magical ‘home from home’ atmosphere for the children in our beautiful setting is something our team work so wonderfully hard to achieve. I enjoy messy play as I believe learning through play is such an important part of childhood development.


Seeing our awe and wonder filled setting spark the children’s imagination and their natural curiosity is something that fills our team full of joy every day. I am the SENCO at Coughton and have a real passion for SEN provision and education.


Coughton Nursery is a beautiful and unique setting which provides a lovely environment for the children to take part in a play based curriculum and a variety of activities to gain skills and knowledge needed as a foundation to their learning, it is also a lovely place for the staff to work!
