  • Bright Horizons Cambridge Milton Road Day Nursery and Preschool, Cambridge
Bright Horizons Cambridge Milton Road Day Nursery and Preschool offers exceptional early years care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Located just under a mile from the centre of Cambridge, the nursery provides a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment where children can flourish.

Each room is thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate resources to support children’s development at every stage. The toddler and preschool rooms benefit from direct access to their own gardens, encouraging outdoor exploration and physical activity. Indoors, children enjoy calm, engaging spaces that include role play kitchens, water play stations, and cosy reading corners — all designed to spark curiosity and creativity.

The nursery follows the Bright Beginnings Curriculum, developed by Early Years specialists to build on the EYFS framework. This holistic approach nurtures each child’s wellbeing, confidence, and love of learning. The dedicated Ready for School programme supports preschoolers in developing key skills in literacy, numeracy, and independence, ensuring a smooth transition to primary education.

A key part of the nursery’s ethos is the Nurture Approach, which places strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing and secure relationships. Practitioners focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel valued, understood, and confident to express themselves. This approach helps build resilience, empathy, and a strong sense of belonging.

Families benefit from all-inclusive care, with nutritious meals prepared by an onsite chef, as well as snacks, nappies, formula, wipes and creams provided. Parents stay connected through the Bright Horizons Family app, receiving regular updates and photos throughout the day. Drop-off and pick-up are made easier with parents able to park at the church down the road for 30 minutes.

The manager and the team at Bright Horizons are absolutely brilliant at making sure the Nursery is safe, fun and exciting. Our daughter loves going there every day, learning and socialising, all the staff are amazing and the food is great. The manager and the team are all super professional and friendly.
I can't recommend them enough.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.052)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.052) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Cambridge Milton Road Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Bright Horizons Cambridge Milton Road Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.052 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Cambridge Milton Road Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.052
  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.
