Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started attending in August 2020 when he was 10+months. While he took a bit of time to settle in, he has since been enjoying himself. He looks forward to going now. His key person and the overall staff take excellent care of him. I trust them with his care. They know him very well now including
all his habits. His development has been really great in just over 2months. We get daily detailed reports from his eating to sleeping, changing and play activities. I have been very impressed. I would 100% recommend the nursery to everyone. I couldn’t be happier with our choice. I feel all his needs including love and emotional care are being met.

My son has been at Bright Horizons Regent's Park since February 2019, when he was 8 months old. He's flourished there and has always received excellent and kind care. The staff are passionate about the children and parents receive regular feedback and progress reports. I also appreciated how the management
handled the lockdown and closure of the nursery this year and their flexibility on the return date. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of our children have attended Bright Horizons Regent's Park and over the past six years, we have been beyond pleased with the nursery. Our first two have graduated, and by the time they left for Reception, they were perfectly prepared for their first year of school. The staff has always been
kind, caring and attentive to their needs while also focusing on their early education. There has been a consistent team and each of our children has bonded beautifully with them.
The staff's guidance and advice are truly valued. They have had a significant and positive impact on the lives of my children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined Bright Horizons as a baby in January this year. We adore the staff, and her physical development and language skills have come on in leaps and bounds since she started. Her Key Workers nurture her love of reading and imaginative play, and she loves the outdoor garden. We visited
several nurseries in the Camden area when looking at our opinions, and found the location, curriculum and dedication of the staff to be far better than others in the area, while a comparable cost. The nursery is alongside Regent's Park, and in warmer months, staff would take small groups of children for outings, which our daughter loved. We get daily "report cards" and have check-ins with her Key Worker, and in a pre-Covid era, the team would bring families together for celebrations and open days (since lockdown, the Bright Horizons team have been very diligent about health and safety and Covid guidelines so this no longer happens, but I hope it will return).

Review from Mariam (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been extremely happy since joining the nursery in the baby room.
Initially, he had issues settling in, but all the nursery staff, especially the managers, were very committed to making sure the process was as seamless and comfortable as possible.
The attention he receives is excellent;
All the staff know about his routine and preferences, and it feels that the care he receives is tailored to him as an individual.
I would not hesitate at all to recommend the nursery to other parents.

Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 6 months and we have had nothing but positive experiences. Her key worker is fab and the other members of staff are always so kind. Our daughter took longer to settle after lockdown but all the staff were incredibly patient with her, and very caring.
She is now loving it again and thriving.

Our son is new to pre-school this month and we are delighted with our experience so far, we have been made to feel very welcome.
The staff have been wonderful – very approachable, extremely knowledgeable and place the well-being of the children at the core of everything they do, helping our son settle
in without a problem.
We would recommend Bright Horizons to any parent wanting the best start for their child and we are very grateful to the staff at Bright Horizons for the superb start they have given our son.
We hope he continues to thrive on his journey.

I have done thorough research and visited all nurseries in the neighbourhood - this is by far the best of them, not only that it has the best facilities, what is extraordinary about it is the fantastic team, top tier educators that set personal examples. I have 2 children cared for here, and have been
through all stages from baby room to toddlers, 2-3s and now preschool and I highly recommended Bright Horizons Regent’s Park for every stage!

My boy loves his nursery, all the staff are so lovely and he really does enjoy his time there which is evident when we drop him off and pick him up to see the smiles all round. His day is filled with all sorts of activities from water and sand play, storytelling and even yoga and French, he's pretty
pooped by the time he comes home! He also eats better than we do! The weekly menu always looks fab with all healthy and balanced food. I would definitely recommend Bright Horizons Regents Park Nursery to anyone in the area.

We absolutely LOVE Bright Horizons Regent's Park. The staff there have created a warm and friendly environment and you can feel it upon entering the premises. Our daughter was in Toddler Room 1. Her key person upon joining helped our daughter (who had a hard time settling in the first few weeks) settle
in beautifully. The Toddler Room 1 lead has also been amazing (she is now our child's key person). She carefully plans stimulating and thoughtful activities for the children (e.g. birthday cards/cake for the children on their birthdays, holiday cards for the parents). The rest of the staff in Toddler Room 1 are also so lovely; they sing and dance with the children and treat everyone with love and care. The facilities are nice, the location is lovely (perfect for day trips to Regent's Park or the London Zoo), and each day there is something new to learn and explore.

My little boy started at 13 months old and attends nursery Monday - Thursday each week. We really love the welcome he receives each morning and he seems to really enjoy his days there. The staff are all very friendly, caring and a good team spirit. The Toddler Team recently organised a Bear Hunt in
Regents Park, which our boy absolutely loved. We would thoroughly recommend.

Great nursery with attention to detail (while having the big important things right as well). Both our kids progressed from baby room onwards through the nursery and straight through to preschool the staff is caring for and teaching our kids in an excellent way. Management is also very strong while
empathetic. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending the nursery for the past year and a half and I am extremely pleased with both the nursery and my daughter's progress. My daughter was at home until the age of 3 and therefore the transition was not easy, however, everyone was so very kind and considerate to us and our
daughter and she now considers the nursery her second home. She adores all of the preschool teachers who always ensure that she is well looked after. This, together with the overall progress she has made in her writing, numbers etc are what make this nursery stand out.
As a parent, I drop my daughter off each morning and am confident that she will be happy, stimulated and well looked after by everyone at the nursery. She knows all the teachers (even those of the other rooms) by name and they know her. The manager does an excellent job managing the nursery and she will always step in should the need arise or if she can be of help in any way.

My daughter has attended Bright Horizons Regents Park for a year and a half now and couldn't be happier. She loves and trusts the staff and looks forward to going to "school" each day. The staff, led by the manager, create a safe and productive environment where children learn and experiment with different
forms of play while developing crucial social and independence skills.


They take field trips to the zoo and library when possible and make holidays special through arts and crafts and parties for the family. They are also very attentive to my daughter's food allergies, leaving my husband and I at ease in knowing her diet is appropriate and tailored to her specific needs. Overall, a great place for children and we're thrilled with our experience.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.627)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.627) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Regents Park 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.894 for Bright Horizons Regents Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.894
  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 4.733 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Regents Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.733
  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.
