Bright Horizons West Norwood Day Nursery and Preschool (formerly Chancellor Grove Private Pre-School & Day Nursery) provides a caring and nurturing environment for children aged from three months to five-years-old.

A highly qualified, friendly team understands how daunting it can be to leave a child in the care of someone else, therefore the staff work in partnership with families for a smooth transition from home.

Every child is assigned a key person who ensures that their individual routines are met and that they feel happy, safe and secure in the nursery, giving parents the confidence to leave them.

With preparation for school a primary focus, the learning-orientated pre-school room is run by a qualified teacher and equipped with state-of-the-art ICT resources.

The nursery was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in November 2016.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bright Horizons West Norwood is such a special place. Our daughter has been there for 8 months and we have been so impressed by the care and attention she has been given. The staff are incredible - professional and capable, whilst at the same time so loving and kind to the children. The nursery manager
is so impressive. She always has time for the parents and also seems to know everything about all the kids. I couldn’t recommend this place any more.

This week my son has spent two years at nursery. He has made great friends, met live animals and enjoyed trips out. He is absolutely thriving here. The nursery has been super flexible with my work schedule - an absolute must for any working parent.

We are incredibly happy with the nursery. One of our children is disabled and they took on the challenge of caring for her with genuine care and support. All the staff are willing to upskill and learn how to deal with her, but at the same time they are very down to earth with her and she gets treated
the same as everyone else. I have absolute confidence that our kids are happy and well looked after.

Amazing nursery with beautiful, amazing staff. My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months till now at the age of 5. My daughter has excelled in all areas and it is a big thank you to all the staff. My daughter is always excited to go to nursery each morning and sad when it’s time to
leave. The best nursery.

My son has been at the nursery for 2 years and has loved his experiences there - he consistently comes home happy! We're really pleased with the facilities and the range of developmental activities. We also love the multicultural vibe in the nursery (staff, children, activities) as this reflects our
community and resonates with our family values. The staff work exceptionally hard, are diligent and caring, irrespective of whether they are permanent or temporary staff. Their support to parents is excellent, always offering advice when needed and making regular observations.

Our son's Preschool graduation was such a lovely celebration for him and his friends, and the care and love the staff showed in their organisation of the day was exactly what we've come to expect over our time with this nursery. Our children feel like they are with family when they go to nursery each
day.

Very good nursery. Lots of activities for children to get on with. Staff seem very engaged and helpful. Could benefit from bigger outdoor space. Class sizes are reasonable and a wide selection of food is served to the children.

My baby has been attending Bright Horizons West Norwood Day Nursery and Preschool for the past 3-months and I am happy with my choice of nurseries. The staff are very friendly and the passion and care for the children is 100-per cent. I feel satisfied and at ease when dropping off my baby and leaving
her for the day. The staff always provide a variety of activities to keep the children interested and work alongside us as parents to make sure that the needs of the children are always being met.

Since my daughter started attending in January 2021 she has been supported from nursery through to preschool. She is doing very well and staff always do their best to ensure the children have the best start to their day. The activities, resources and food on offer is very good as well. You really get
your value for what you paid for. Overall I am happy with the care and progress of my daughter. Continue to do a good job.

From the moment I called to visit the nursery, I knew this place was special. The nursery manager and the team provide a caring environment that stimulates, challenges and stretches the children’s learning. Our daughter loves attending nursery. We feel very supported by our daughter's key worker, we
sailed through potty training with their support. Ultimately we feel they care for our daughter as much as we do.

Very happy to have chosen Bright Horizons West Norwood. I had my little one there from baby room to pre-school and the team always took excellent care of all the children. They always had a variety of activities planned for them to keep them engaged and help their development, also taking into account
their personality. In addition to that, they have an excellent chef on site!
During the lockdown, they had a great response and initiated an online resource to help us with ideas and easy to follow activities. A big thank you! to all the team for making my little one’s time very special there.

I've always felt comfortable that my son is in excellent hands at nursery. This compliments his learning and his keyworkers give great feedback which is really important to ensure we are all doing everything we can for his development. I cannot fault anyone or any part of the nursery and take this opportunity
to sincerely thank them for what they do.

The nursery has been fantastic, our daughter absolutely loves her time here, and all the wonderful people who look after her. Our daughter settled in very quickly, gets involved in lots of activities, eats all her meals and has progressed in many of her skills since attending. The management is always
very professional.
We are so grateful to the manager and all the wonderful team!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both of our children have been at this nursery, with one still going three days a week. The manager is excellent - friendly, organised and helpful. The staff are also lovely and kind and have formed nice relationships with my children. The food goes down well with the kids and they do a range of activities
- lots of books, singing and crafts. The outside space is nicely designed and our kids love it but it is quite small, being in the site where it is. We didn't find this mattered though. They have great opening hours too, 7.30-6.30.

I am satisfied with the care that my son gets in the nursery. The staff are working hard and provide the best possible for the children. The learning is good, it could be extended more if the parent could see more of the keyworker. My son developed a lot through the nursery. Thanks.

Wonderful nursery. Really nice, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent equipment and well-structured learning aids. Always happy to help/assist when we have additional needs. I've had a good experience recently when I asked for a support plan for my son, who is visually impaired. A very clean environment
and high food hygiene standards. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Bright Horizons West Norwood Day Nursery and Preschool 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.944 for Bright Horizons West Norwood Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.944
  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 4.987 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons West Norwood Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 15 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.987
  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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

I have been working in childcare since 2016, working my way up from my Level 3 Apprenticeship to now Deputy Manager; I have also studied my Level 3 SENCo.


From my very first day in childcare, I loved the atmosphere and the environments I was able to create for the children. I have worked with all age ranges in the early years from birth to 5 years; every day is a new challenge and a new experience to develop my knowledge and my skills to provide the best care/environment for my staff/families and children.
