Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from Alexandra L (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little one started with Brightsparks Purley in March , and I have been so nervous. The team in the baby room has been amazing though. Listened each morning for anything I had to share , worked with me to make a schedule that worked for the little one , and I was so impressed with how quickly my little one adjusted. I can't thank the team enough for taking such a heavy worry off my chest! My little one is actually stretching her hands for her key worker and that tells me so much on how happy she feels there.
The manager of the nursery is amazing too, has so much patience and she worked with me to make a schedule that works for my little one.

Everyone is super friendly and polite , they are involved , no matter the time of day I enter the nursery they're always in action looking after the children.

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with Brightsparks Purley.
The staff are fantastic - caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in every child's wellbeing and development. They have played a huge role in helping our children learn, grow in confidence, and reach important milestones.

It's clear that the team creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe, and encouraged to thrive. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from Prerna M (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child joined the preschool room in between the term when we moved to the area. The staff was very supportive and made sure she settles in. She is overall happy when she comes back from the nursery and I can see she has made significant progress in her alphabets and numbers since she has joined Brightsparks. Thank you to all the teachers and other staff members for taking such good care of our children.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Old Coulsdon from Michelle H (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son joined Brightsparks in January at just 11 months old, and naturally I felt apprehensive about leaving him in a childcare setting for the first time. However, from the very first settling-in session, I was completely reassured.
The team are consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely pleased to see him each day. It's clear that they truly care about his wellbeing and development. He settled in remarkably quickly and now beams with excitement when we arrive, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he feels there.

I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. I feel confident and at ease knowing my son is in such capable and caring hands.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Selsdon from Petra C (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending the nursery for nearly two years, and he absolutely loves going there. From the very beginning, the staff have made him feel safe, happy and supported, which has given us real peace of mind as parents.
He is learning so much and developing every week, it's amazing to see how confident he has become. The nursery has played a huge role in helping him grow into an independent young child, and we can really see the positive impact on his communication, social skills and curiosity.

We're really grateful for the care, attention and encouragement he receives from the team. We couldn't be happier with the nursery and would highly recommend it to other parents.

Reply from Hayley Harbury, Manager at Brightsparks Day Nursery, Selsdon

Thank you so much for your kind review. We as a team work so hard to ensure all the children are given the best opportunities to scaffold their learning and development and of course have fun!

My child has been attending this nursery since January 2025 and he is very happy there. The staff are excellent, they know the children well and have positive interactions. There is a wide range of activities planned and healthy food served. The nursery team give us regular updates and communication throughout the day. We would not hesitate to recommend Brightsparks Purley.

Very good nursery, safe space for kids. Staff is engaged and care for the children well. Son is there a few years now and we are very happy with the nursery. Nuances could be improved like larger outdoor space or more meal variety , but overall it's a lovely place and highly recommended.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from M P (Father of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child has been at brightsparks for around 3 years now and over the years our child has bonded with a number of staff and created a great relationship. The teachers do their very best with all children there and we really do appreciate them very much. Throughout the year, daily they come up with some creative work for the children to work with (which isn't easy). The care is also great which all parents should be looking at. The nursery is kept clean and tidy and communication is also a plus.

All I can say is keep up all the great work you guys are doing, because you guys are the stars!

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from Jessica G (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From day one, the atmosphere has been so warm and welcoming. My LO was always really anxious around different people/strangers, but the care and reassurance she received made all the difference, she now feels completely at home and sees everyone at nursery as a second family.
The activities are wonderful, everything is so well organised, and the staff are genuinely kind.
A special thank you to Jamie and the team from Shooting Stars as you cannot fault any of them, they are all so caring and kind.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from A N (Father of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really happy with the nursery, the lovely people who take care of the kids and how the place is run.
Both our kids are at this nursery and would definitely recommend the place.
App used to provide info on the child through the day is alright and updated through the day. Kids love the activities they do and some of the activities have been really well designed and been fun for the kids.

We also like the fact that majority of the staff have been working there for a while, so they do not need a lot of temporary staff which helps the kids to bond well with their carers and are not seeing new faces frequently.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from Ricky T (Father of Child) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley. Where do I begin, My Daughter attends the nursery and has done since she was 9 months young, the normal worries as a parent when leaving your only child somewhere without you was daunting. However from The Manager down to the Nursery Nurses are all so caring and tentative to not only my needs and believe me there was aloy but down to the smallest detail with my daughter. The app you get allows me to follow what my daughter gets up to during the day to day activities and play she does. Including any accidents that children get up to whilst exploring and learning. Can not praise this Nursery enough.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from Marie C (Mother of Child) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I've been using this nursery (Purley branch) since 2019 and have always been really happy with the level of service provided and my children have all been happy here. The key workers are excellent - they are warm and welcoming and really care about the children. The nursery manager is great too and makes herself easily accessible to speak to. The level of communication here is great too whether that's the weekly emails with useful information or using the day diaries which are always full of information and pictures, which as a parent is lovely to see.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley from Hannah T (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have sent our eldest son here since he was 10 months old (now 3.75) and our youngest son has just started. We have been impressed with all the staff and management over the years. The staff genuinely care and come up with some incredibly thoughtful activities for the children. Management have been a pleasure to deal with and communication is great. We love the app and ability to see what our children are/have been up to. They take security/safeguarding seriously so we have always felt our children are safe as well as having a great time. Sadly we are relocating so we have to say our goodbyes but thank you Brightsparks you have brought us so much comfort knowing our children are safe and cared for.

Reply from Ann-Marie Spence, Manager at Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley

We've been with Brightsparks Selsdon since 2019 and both of our daughters have gone here - it's been such a great experience. The staff are great and many have stayed during this time. My youngest is currently there and her key worker, Nick, has been fantastic - I honestly couldn't recommend him more. It's lovely knowing she's in such good hands every day!

My daughter has been with Brightsparks for some months now and we can't be happier with the care and service provided. Having had a tough start to nursery life with another nursery, we have found Brightsparks to be super welcoming and informative. Our daughter is excited to come in and has improved in a few areas we had concerns around.

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Old Coulsdon from L B (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son recently transferred to Brightsparks Old Coulsdon from a different setting, and I was quite nervous about how he'd adjust as he can find it hard to settle into new environments. But I honestly couldn't have asked for a smoother transition. The staff (especially toddler room staff) were so attentive and understanding from the very start, making sure he felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to their care and patience, he settled in much quicker than I expected. It's been a few months now, and it genuinely feels like he's been there the whole time. He goes in happily each day and comes home full of excitement about what he's done. I'm so grateful to the team for making this such a positive experience for him, and for us as a family.

Highly recommend!

Review of Brightsparks Day Nursery, Selsdon from C B (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so grateful to all the staff at Brightsparks who have supported my son throughout his journey at Brightsparks. Not only for my son but they have all been incredibly supportive to me, navigating the transition back to work and leaving him from the first time to the ongoing challenges of being a working parent and supporting a toddler! They keep in regular contact and I find the updates so so reassuring. Another great example of going above and beyond is the time and effort put into the special events for Father's and Mother's day. It was a lovely afternoon and i do not under estimate the planning involved.

Reply from Hayley Harbury, Manager at Brightsparks Day Nursery, Selsdon

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's been amazing to see him grow into a little toddler. The events we put on are especially catered for you as parents and we love what we do. Thank you.
