I could not ask for a better nursery for my little boy to attend. He has been coming to this nursery since he was 8 months old and he has always been well cared for and looked after through every room in the nursery. I could not be more grateful for each staff member that has looked after him along
the way as they have always done their best for him. I would definitely recommend this nursery to family and friends who have children as I know the staff do their absolute best for every child that enters the nursery. Thank you to everyone for looking after my little boy so well I will always be so grateful to you all.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Kids Nursery for about 19 months now and she loves going. The staff are friendly, considerate and give regular updates of activities and milestones via the app and during pick-ups.
They have continuously improved the service and I would urge them to keep it up.

All staff at Bright Kids have been extremely helpful and fantastic professionals.
Always happy to help. They are equally very reasonable, thoughtful, and most importantly, have listening ears not to also forget the great learning experiences for the kids with apparent improvements.
My family have
been very pleased with the ongoings, and without any doubt, believe this would continue.

I could never ask for anything - every day my son comes out smiling. Initially, he was crying, but now you have all helped me in raising my kid, and I’m so thankful for that. All the staff have such amazing and unique personalities that combine into the perfect team... Bright Kids is one of the best
nurseries I would say. They provide different activities each day and kids enjoy every single day. As a parent, we could daily check their learning journey and their improvement... very happy and satisfied with the nursery.

I have started daycare for my 10-month-old a month back. What I like most about the nursery is ever smiling staff who is always ready to listen to you. In this 1 month, not only my son is settled, but the staff also ensured I settled and felt comfortable and confident for my son.
Of course, there
were times when I thought his needs were not met, but I can't fault nursery. It's me as a mum, who keeps overthinking my little one.
The nursery has a very clean environment, spacious, variety of planned activities to keep little ones busy. Their daily updates via pictures in the app always bring satisfaction that our little ones are doing well.
I appreciate the Bright Kids team and am very thankful to them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is always eager to go to the nursery. I also love how the teachers (staff) relate to the kids. You could tell how warm they are to the children. I remember my daughter's settling-in days, they all told me that she didn't even notice that she was in a different environment, I knew immediately
it was due to how they made her feel.
The teachers are also very attentive and love what they do.
I love the fact they use different activities to teach the kids. I would proudly recommend Bright Kids Barley Lea to anyone. The teachers are thoughtful, considerate and very attentive.

My son loves going to nursery, a clear indication that he is happy at Bright Kids Barley Lea. I am often impressed by the range of activities that the staff provide for the children whenever I check my son's learning log. Staff members at Barley Lea are friendly and attentive. The management are brilliant
and professional, but above all, they are compassionate and considerate of individual circumstances. They considered my circumstances when I was unwell and had to request for extra hours on short notice.
Bright Kids Barley Lea is an excellent nursery, with staff who enjoy working with the children and a lot of fun learning activities for children. My son certainly loves his sessions and always looks forward to them.

My little one has been at Bright Kids nursery for a few months now and she has developed so much. She's been looked after really well by all the staff here and has learned so much in such a short space of time. Looking forward to my baby's growth over the coming months.

My child has been going to Bright Kids for 6 months now and she loves it! Such warm, welcoming, friendly and caring staff she loves them, she settled in great and I think it was down to them! Can't really fault them, they are doing a great job. The nursery app is great so you can follow along with your
child during the day to see what they are up to and what they eat. Definitely recommend this nursery!

The nursery was able to identify extra support my daughter needs. They have been so helpful in giving me updates about my child's progress, important information about support services available; and they are willing to chase up much-needed help for my child's needs.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since my child was with me for almost 3 years since his birth, he was extremely attached and also saw my child as an introvert. But thanks to Bright Kids and staff, I see my child enjoying his time with staff and children there. Also, I love my son coming to me and saying the activities he played and
also the friends he made in the nursery. Also with the recent one to one interaction with the staff, I am pleased to know the development of my child and also happy to see them taking care of each and every child, helping them grow to be a happy and confident child.

Ever since I contacted the nursery everyone has been so welcoming and lovely. I approached just before Christmas and managed to get my settling sessions ready to start in January which was very helpful. My son has settled right into the setting and loves going. I was unsure about moving him from a childminder
but I'm so glad I did. Can’t wait to see his progression. Every day I take him they always have different stations set out for the children to play with so it’s not the same every day. He has meals and snacks so is slowly eating a bit more also which is great. Thanks to the ladies for making me feel at ease. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.017)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.017) out of 10 for Bright Kids Barley Lea 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.817 for Bright Kids Barley Lea is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.817
  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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Kids Barley Lea is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.6
  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.
