              "reviewBody": "This Nursery deserves an award, they should be recognised as the gold standard for how to run a nursery and I will explain why.\n\nMy daughter would not settle in her previous nursery and she suffered a lot with separation anxiety as most toddlers do. The previous nursery would not offer additional settling sessions, very strict on timings she was dropped / collected and basically gave up on assisting my daughter in feeling emotionally secure. I went and visited many nurseries and got the same feeling that the staff weren't doing the job as they were passionate about children, it was just a job for them and they gave the bare minimal... and then I found Inglewood.\n\nWithin 1 week at Inglewood my daughter would ask to go to Nursery all day every day, even at pick up she was more than happy to stay! Previously she would be pulled off from me screaming that she didn't want to stay, this would go on for months until eventually I would be asked by the previous nursery to remove her!\n\nThe staff are so different at Inglewood they are truly phenomenal. Helen at Bramble on day 1 was brutally honest with me about my concerns, didn't sugar coat anything either which I respect and prepared me for how I could really work with them to get my daughter settled and happy quickly. Chloe is my daughters key worker, I'm starting to believe my daughter prefers her to me, the kindest most patient human I think I have met, my daughter calls you her best friend to everyone. Megan and Lakeisha, your presence is so positive and happy, as a parent you have made me believe that you actually care about how my child feels and is getting on throughout the day. The observations are very detailed and the reviews on your child's development are broken down into categories that make it so easy for you to think about ways you can supplement their development at home.\n\nJane in the kitchen, you have helped transform a child with very picky eating habits into one who now asks me for the dinners she has at nursery - thank you so much and please continue what you do.\n\nThe back office team, it is so refreshing to speak with lovely humans who go out of their way to help me constantly. I can turn up with my laptop in a faff about the government account, various codes etc and every time they have sat down with me and helped me to solve my problems. They have flexible policies, an open door policy which allows me to drop and pick off my child whenever I like, without any rigid rules around letting the nursery know my schedule.\n\nJenna thank you for always picking up the phone and being the helpful human that you are, I remember one day you got another member of staff just to double check a code I had received was correct and actually it wasn't, but the other lady resolved it there and then for me - saving me a lot of money in fees. Jane and Fiona I love bumping into you in the corridors you always take time to say hello to my daughter and I, again it adds to the overall positive energy at this nursery.\n\nLaura, well done for running an extraordinary nursery with outstanding humans who really are a blessing to the establishment. The grounds are stunning, my daughter says every day on the drive how beautiful the fields are, the garden is huge and very secure, they offer swimming lessons at an additional cost onsite too!\n\nI will never be able to thank you all enough for all of the ways you are benefiting and supporting my daughter and I.\n\nThank you so much, Kiren",

I have been extremely pleased with the high level of care and support Henry has been given and the ease at which his transition to nursery was made possible.  Henry has grown in confidence and has made remarkable steps in his development under the supervision of all the nursery staff in Maple.  Every effort is made to ensure that parents are kept in the loop with the daily diary and informed should your child become unwell during the course of the day.  Having worked with secondary school children for over 15 years I am fully aware of the anxieties that parents face when leaving their child in the care of others.  I am so pleased that I do not have that worry and confident that Henry will thrive in such an outstanding and supportive environment.",

## About this early years setting

Bright Horizons offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children's growth and development. With a rich history of over 300 community and workplace nurseries across the UK, they are dedicated to supporting families in balancing work and life commitments.

Their unique Nurture Approach emphasises the importance of emotional wellbeing alongside learning, ensuring children feel safe, known, and loved. The Bright Beginnings Curriculum focuses on five key learning areas, integrating practical and life skills through engaging activities.

They also prioritise healthy eating with freshly prepared meals and cater to individual dietary needs. The nursery fosters outdoor adventures, including Forest School and Eco-Schools programmes, to enhance development.

They also provide comprehensive support for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and offer flexible settling-in sessions to ensure a smooth transition for both children and parents.

Our ethos

At Bright Horizons, we believe that providing a supportive and nurturing environment is paramount to a child's development. Our core philosophy, the Nurture Approach, integrates learning with emotional wellbeing to foster happy, healthy children who can reach their full potential. We emphasise creating a "triangle of trust" between key persons, children, and parents, ensuring a secure base for exploration and learning from the very first interaction.

What it's like

Children are happy and welcomed warmly by staff who know them well, fostering strong attachments and a sense of safety. They enjoy a wide range of learning experiences, participating with interest and developing well-being and confidence. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning.

This Nursery deserves an award, they should be recognised as the gold standard for how to run a nursery and I will explain why. My daughter would not settle in her previous nursery and she suffered a lot with separation anxiety as most toddlers do. The previous nursery would not offer additional settling sessions, very strict on timings she was dropped / collected and basically gave up on assisting my daughter in feeling emotionally secure. I went and visited many nurseries and got the same feeling that the staff weren't doing the job as they were passionate about children, it was just a job for them and they gave the bare minimal... and then I found Inglewood. Within 1 week at Inglewood my daughter would ask to go to Nursery all day every day, even at pick up she was more than happy to stay! Previously she would be pulled off from me screaming that she didn't want to stay, this would go on for months until eventually I would be asked by the previous nursery to remove her! The staff are so different at Inglewood they are truly phenomenal. Helen at Bramble on day 1 was brutally honest with me about my concerns, didn't sugar coat anything either which I respect and prepared me for how I could really work with them to get my daughter settled and happy quickly. Chloe is my daughters key worker, I'm starting to believe my daughter prefers her to me, the kindest most patient human I think I have met, my daughter calls you her best friend to everyone. Megan and Lakeisha, your presence is so positive and happy, as a parent you have made me believe that you actually care about how my child feels and is getting on throughout the day. The observations are very detailed and the reviews on your child's development are broken down into categories that make it so easy for you to think about ways you can supplement their development at home. Jane in the kitchen, you have helped transform a child with very picky eating habits into one who now asks me for the dinners she has at nursery - thank you so much and please continue what you do. The back office team, it is so refreshing to speak with lovely humans who go out of their way to help me constantly. I can turn up with my laptop in a faff about the government account, various codes etc and every time they have sat down with me and helped me to solve my problems. They have flexible policies, an open door policy which allows me to drop and pick off my child whenever I like, without any rigid rules around letting the nursery know my schedule. Jenna thank you for always picking up the phone and being the helpful human that you are, I remember one day you got another member of staff just to double check a code I had received was correct and actually it wasn't, but the other lady resolved it there and then for me - saving me a lot of money in fees. Jane and Fiona I love bumping into you in the corridors you always take time to say hello to my daughter and I, again it adds to the overall positive energy at this nursery. Laura, well done for running an extraordinary nursery with outstanding humans who really are a blessing to the establishment. The grounds are stunning, my daughter says every day on the drive how beautiful the fields are, the garden is huge and very secure, they offer swimming lessons at an additional cost onsite too! I will never be able to thank you all enough for all of the ways you are benefiting and supporting my daughter and I. Thank you so much, Kiren

My ten month old son Henry started at Inglewood Day Nursery in April to enable me to returned to work full time as an Assistant Head-teacher at a large secondary school in Maidenhead. I have been extremely pleased with the high level of care and support Henry has been given and the ease at which his transition to nursery was made possible. Henry has grown in confidence and has made remarkable steps in his development under the supervision of all the nursery staff in Maple. Every effort is made to ensure that parents are kept in the loop with the daily diary and informed should your child become unwell during the course of the day. Having worked with secondary school children for over 15 years I am fully aware of the anxieties that parents face when leaving their child in the care of others. I am so pleased that I do not have that worry and confident that Henry will thrive in such an outstanding and supportive environment.

Both my children have/are attending Inglewood and I cannot fault it, in fact when my second child goes to school next year we will miss it as it has been part of our family for years. From the vast gardens, friendly staff and extra curriculur activities (yoga, french etc) I highly recommend it.

My son used to go here a few years ago. We feel this Nursery is overrated.
