Brightsparks Day Nursery, Selsdon

Both my sons have attended this nursery since they were 11 months old. They have developed into confident, enthusiastic learners and keen to always do the right thing now at the ages of 3 and 4. It is my eldest sons last 4 months and he is very well prepared for school, with clear knowledge of phonics, numbers and has been encouraged to read at home using his phonic knowledge. All the staff, throughout each room, know all the children and are friendly and eager to ensure that all the children are happy and developing well through the EYFS (The Early Years Foundation Stage).

What a fabulous nursery. I am so glad we chose Brightsparks! My son started in September and he had just turned 1. I was full of worry and anxiety but with the wonderful care and consistency of all the staff, lead by a brilliant manager, both myself and my son soon settled into the warm and welcoming environment. My son is very happy to attend and is developing very well. Each week I notice he is achieving something different. The planning is always sent out to parents so I can see what he is learning/experience and be part of his early year's journey. Thank you all so much for your hard work, flexibility and professionalism. Well done!

I feel like every member of staff knows my child and thinks about his needs. The structure is good, my son is developing well in a kind and happy environment. The main staff turnover is low, the same people who looked after my older son are still there and caring for my youngest. I think that shows staff are generally happy and fulfilled in their roles, which leads to a more productive and calm business which in turn can only benefit the children.

My daughter has been attending since September 2016 and loves it. When I go to pick her up she always has a smile on face and as we walk home and she tells me what she has done throughout the day. If I ever have a question about her learning or what extra things I can do at home with her they have always help me. My daughter has a few allergies which the staff have been wonderful with I have never had any problems, which means I can send her in with peace of mind.

I am so grateful for all the work that all the staff do at Brightsparks. I reluctantly returned to work when my son was 5 months old and was very anxious about leaving him, particularly with his medical needs. The manager and nursery staff were incredibly sensitive to his needs, but also mine! I am forever grateful.

My son is very settled at nursery and I am entirely confident leaving him at Brightsparks each day. Communication is excellent and each child is cared for as an individual.

Thank you so much for all you do!

A wonderful nursery with a great environment. The children are happy and always kept busy.

The staff are friendly and inclusive with all the children.

The management are extremely flexible with last minute arrangements and changes in parent schedules.

I'd recommend this nursery to all my friends.

I feel at ease when our daughter is dropped off at nursery knowing that she is in safe hands. The staff take good care of her and our daughter loves going to nursery. She has learnt a range of skills thanks to the staff and they are now helping us to potty train our daughter.

All the food is prepared on-site as well and the feedback we get is that our daughter really loves it!

I would highly recommend Brightsparks!

An amazing nursery I would highly recommend. Great at meeting both emotional and educational needs of all children. My child loves going and has a fab time there, learning though play and exploring new activities.

My daughter has sadly just left this year after 5 years whereby her development has been amazing.

My son is 17 months and has just started earlier this year where carers have been very supportive with his settling.

Now he has settled he loves his carers and the activities which have been planned. He tests them with his cheekiness.

Can't wait to see him develop in the next 5 year with the help of the nursery.

My son is new to Brightsparks Day nursery and I am so pleased with how well he has settled. The girls that work here are very welcoming and friendly. I have really noticed my son's social skills and speech develop since attending Brightsparks Day nursery. I am very happy that we chose this nursery.

Excellent value for money, excellent cleanliness. Management and staff very friendly,helpful and flexible. I would definitely recommend it.

My grandson had been attending Brightsparks Selsdon since he was 6 months old. He has recently left to go to big school.

I cannot praise this nursery enough. The staff are loving, kind and very friendly, always helping me when I collected him. The care he received was always 100%!

I believe they have helped set the foundations for my grandson to start school with such confidence and ease and he has learnt so much.

The manager was always welcoming and my daughter and son- in-law always had such positive things to say. My daughter is currently expecting their second child and already has baby's name down to start.

Well done Brightsparks, keep up the good work.

Since we have started sending our little one to Brightsparks Day Nursery, Seldon in May this year, we have been so impressed by the level of care and support. From homemade food to activities they really do offer a great environment for a little one. We are so happy with this nursery!

My eldest who is now 8 went to Brightsparks and my daughter now 3 is now also now attending. I chose the nursery as the staff are very welcoming, it is clean, the food is all freshly cooked, there is a lovely outdoor area and my children have always been happy going. It is smaller than other nurseries, however, I like this because it is more personal and the children are not overwhelmed. The staff who looked after my son are still there which to me, shows the staff are happy.

There are a wide range of activities throughout the day with learning integrated into every task. My daughter is doing so well I couldn't be happier.

Brightsparks provides great care for my child, whilst working I feel very at ease knowing my child is in a safe place. The staff are so friendly and I do feel my child is stimulated, she has learnt so much by being at this nursery.

I have a longstanding relationship with the core team here. My daughter and son were there from the baby room (my son is still there). My daughter's social and awareness skills are well honed, in large part because of the skills and interaction she learned there. A dedicated programme of learning and development that is individual to your child. If there have ever been any issues (child led - usually tantrums after injections or dramatic toddler spats about sharing), they have always disciplined and shared with me so that I can be aware. They do not shy away from managing this. My only criticism is that I would dearly like them to open their doors at 7.30 a.m. Working in London and travelling on Public Transport has often created a challenge, although when I have had no other option due to catching a flight or a meeting that just cannot be changed, they have helped on a one-off basis.

My daughter always seems very happy at nursery. She eats all her food, learns to socialise and plays with lots of toys and participates in several activities. The girls are great and are always supportive, caring and attentive to both parent and child's needs. I am happy with the food they give her and any problems are quickly resolved as the manager is really passionate about her work/staff. They are clean and helpful at Brightsparks. I am happy I chose Brightsparks for my daughter.

Our child has been attending this nursery for just over 3 years and we highly recommend the service and care that is provided. The staff / management are extremely friendly, welcoming, professional and we feel that they have the well-being of each child at the forefront of their minds at all times.

They have a key person system in place who will support your child's emotional, psychological development and social interaction with other children, I also feel that this system builds stronger relationships between the child, parents / carers and the nursery staff which enables the staff to focus on the child's current abilities and areas of interest to engage them in day to day activities to encourage further learning and preparing them for primary school.

This nursery have also organised many activities such as Christmas plays and parties throughout the year. Fathers day and Grandparents tea, graduation plays, Charity events, photo sessions, sports, some of which have taken place outside of the nurseries normal working hours. These not only engage the children, but also the parents with staff and other parents. This enables everyone to build closer links together, which in turn creates a happy, warm and safe environment for the children.

We love this nursery so much we have registered our 2nd child already for 2016.

Both of my children have attended Brightsparks Day Nursery in Selsdon and I would highly recommend this nursery to any family. The environment is bright, clean and very friendly. The children’s work is displayed all over the nursery with new weekly themes for each class making it a fun and inspiring space. There is a wide range of activities for the children to engage with that change depending on the weekly themes such as singing, cooking, painting, sand and water play and many more....my three year old sings all the time teaching me the new songs she has learnt. The staff are absolutely lovely, very approachable and they are always on hand to help, listen and support my children’s development but most importantly for me, my children are happy at Brightsparks so if I was to do it all again it would be Brightsparks every time.
