Beautiful nursery set in the heart of Haddenham

Bright Horizons Haddenham offers six light and spacious individual rooms that have been tailored to each age group. All the room environments are designed to be flexible, allowing children to safely explore and flourish while building a lifelong love of learning. The Nursery has great commuter links by road and rail, adjacent to Haddenham and Thame Parkway Station and not too far from the M40 and A41.

The nursery's tranquil separate outdoor garden for babies gives opportunity to discover, learn and safely play with their little friends. When it’s time for a nap the calming baby sleep room is the perfect space to feel safe and secure; ready for the rest of the day.

The nursery provides beautifully designed external play areas for toddlers and preschool children with a fantastic water wall feature – great for those summer days!

Bright Horizons' Ready for School Programme designed by its expert early years team prepares children for school transitions; children will graduate from Bright Horizons Preschool ready to have more fun developing their reading, writing and mathematical skills.

Children will benefit from nutritionally balanced menus; the on-site chef freshly prepares all the food and can cater for everyone’s needs.

The nursery was recently given 'Outstanding' in it's recent Ofsted report (December 2023).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We needed a new nursery for various reasons and was anxious moving my daughter to a new one.
But my gosh, she absolutely loves it. She barely says goodbye to me. Always happy at Bright Horizons. I cannot praise the wonderful staff enough, they are fantastic, dedicated and make Bright Horizons in Haddenham,
a very warm, inviting place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Bright Horizons in October 2021, not long after they opened. From the very beginning, the staff have been amazing and I have complete peace of mind that she's in a safe, caring and fun environment. My daughter absolutely loves going into nursery each day and has built a brilliant
bond with many of the team. The food provided is really varied and balanced with new dishes added to the menu, often. We get daily activity updates through the nursery app, which is lovely and very helpful to have a breakdown of meals and sleep etc, over the course of the day.
The children have a variety of group time, planned activities, and independent play and get to enjoy the outdoor spaces regularly too. I'm so happy we were able to secure a place at Bright Horizons and I am confident my daughter will continue to thrive there. I highly recommend this nursery!

I could not recommend this nursery enough. Not only is it so beautifully put together and clean, but the staff are outstanding! They make me feel like my child is the most important and they are so attentive and caring. Communication and response is excellent and I fetch a very happy child, every evening!

Excellent staff, management and facilities. My son loves it there and I am very happy to leave him, knowing he is happy and safe. They always feedback on how the day has been for my son, what he has had to eat and activities he has taken part in! The nursery opened back in October 2021. The staff and
management are always there to listen and improve. Great nursery, overall!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has been incredibly welcoming to my daughter and she settled quickly as a result. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, whether that be in relation to dietary needs, toilet training support or support with settling and bond forming between my daughter and her keyworker and peers. We
are really happy with the nursery setting and the staff and consider it to be great value for money. Highly recommended!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Haddenham 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.902 for Bright Horizons Haddenham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.902
  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 Haddenham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 30 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 30 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.
