Review from Tom S (Father of Child) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son (18 months) loves going to Bridgewater. He goes in smiling and has a strong connection with his key workers.
It seems very much as though the team there genuinely take joy in being around young children and seeing them thrive.
They offer a considered menu of healthy food which was a big
consideration for us as well.
As someone with a background in schools, I can't recommend it enough.

Review from Sarah D (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bridgewater Nursery might be fairly new, but it honestly feels like we've found such a gem for our daughter. The staff are genuinely caring, not just polite, but actually warm and welcoming in a way that puts you at ease straight away.


My daughter settled in so quickly with her key workers, and that

was huge for us. You can really see the bond she's built with them, and it makes drop-offs so much easier when she's happy to run in.


The nursery itself has such a nurturing feel to it. It's calm, bright, and clearly put together with a lot of thought about what children need to feel safe and comfortable.


For a place that's only been open a year, it already has such a lovely atmosphere. We're genuinely so happy with it, and I'd recommend Bridgewater Nursery without hesitation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bridgewater Nursery has been nothing short of amazing for my child and our family. From the very first visit, we felt a genuine warmth and professionalism from the entire team. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They've created such a safe, fun, and
nurturing environment where children are not only well looked after but truly thrive.


The communication with parents is outstanding, we're always kept up to date with our child's progress, activities, and development. It's so reassuring to know that our little one is not just cared for, but also engaged in creative learning and play every single day.
The facilities are clean, well equipped, and thoughtfully designed to support all areas of early years development. It's clear that a lot if thought and care goes into the activities and learning plans.

My son aged 16 months has just started Bridgewater Nursery and we can't explain how happy we are after leaving another nursery due to a bad experience. As soon as we drop our son off in the morning and when we pick him up he has smile on his face. As a parent, the reassurance knowing your child is safe
and happy is immense.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.760)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.760) out of 10 for Bridgewater Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.883 for Bridgewater Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.883
  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 4.877 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bridgewater Nursery is based on 10 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.877
  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.
