Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been in the nursery’s baby room since August 2020 - she quickly settled and has really thrived. The staff there are very caring and nurturing, not only in her room, but across the nursery, taking time to talk to and play with her and ensuring that she feels safe and secure. She runs
into nursery each morning giving big hugs to the room staff and I never feel guilty about leaving her there, she absolutely loves it. They fit things to her schedule and are flexible with home routines, to try and maintain consistency, which I think really helped our little girl settle in. The team have met the challenges of Covid-19 well and have recognised the impacts on parents, taking steps to address these where possible and putting on evening visits so that we could ask questions and picture when our children were spending so much time. I really can’t recommend the nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We transferred from another nursery and the transfer went very smoothly from day one. The staff were very welcoming and my daughter quickly felt at home. The staff kept us updated through daily feedback forms and informed us of the highlights and lowlights of her progress. We even had a PTA session.
Most importantly, as it is a very difficult period since Covid-19 started, the staff remained positive and my daughter loves going to daycare. Despite us not being able to tour the setting before we enrolled, hence a satisfactory rating on facilities, we are very happy.

Since day one my child loves to go to Bright Horizons Peckham Rye Day Nursery and Preschool. No matter how tired she is, if we say "wake up, you are going to nursery", she immediately jumps off the bed. She goes in with a big smile and comes out with an even bigger smile. What else does a parent want
but to see their children happy! Thank you very much for all the nurturing staff.

Review from Susana Q (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started here in December 2020, in Preschool Room. After 3 years at home, with me, I thought it would be difficult for her to get used to a new reality. After a few days I can already see the differences. She no longer cries when I take her and loves to play with her friends. The staff in
that room is phenomenal, her Room Leader is always so helpful with her feedback, and the manager and deputy manager have a very effective and positive management, always friendly and very helpful. I wouldn't put my daughter in any other nursery (and I have one nursery just under my apartment!).

Given the extreme circumstances of 2020 as well as being our son's first year at Bright Horizons, I cannot recommend or begin to say how impressed and happy I am that we picked this nursery. The activities, garden and space are fantastic and the staff are the best. So attentive and make it a really
special place which is why our son loves running through the front doors in the morning! Would recommend to friends, family and anyone else who asks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Bright Horizons Peckham Rye when she was 10.5-months-old, and over the past year, she's really become part of the family there. Her key worker is amazing, and our daughter runs in the door, all smiles, on nursery days. One thing that was mentioned on our tour when first visiting
the nursery was how the follow the lead of each child, so although there is a routine to the day, they don't insist on set nap times etc. In general, I feel this extends to all aspects of care which feels individualised and led by the children. For these reasons, I'd definitely recommend this branch of Bright Horizons.

We have had a long association with Peckham Rye Day Nursery. Our son graduated in 2017 and we will be very sad to take the girls out next month. The team are fabulous, it is a lovely site, particularly after the refurbishment and our girls have been very happy here.

Both of our children have attended this nursery over the last five years and we have had an excellent experience. Very good continuity of staff who are friendly and welcoming. They really care about the children and look after them well. There is always a wide range of activities and creative things
to do, plus plenty of good quality toys. The nursery has a great outdoor space and equipment for lots of outdoor play. I have always felt my children are being well looked after, with a good routine and lovely food, giving me full peace of mind each day they have been there.

Staff are caring and considerate, they pay attention to each child's individual needs and interact meaningfully with parents. Activities, good quality food and lots of outdoor time are all a plus.

I had an amazing experience with this nursery all along. All the staff are incredibly kind and caring and welcoming. The refurbished place looks really good. The management is also very helpful and responsive to every comment we make. I am truly happy with the decision I made with the nursery considering
it was not easy to select the right one both for us and for our little one. This nursery feels like a family to me and my child now. My son started in the nursery room.

Our son had a fantastic time whilst at Asquith Peckham Rye Day Nursery and we are sad that due to a house move he has to leave. The standard of care is outstanding, his key person and room leader genuinely cared for our son and he flourished with their support, learning to share and make friends, helped
him settle into a nursery environment. Fantastic outdoor area and facilities with a loving creative team. Can't recommend enough!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.702)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.702) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Peckham Rye Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.702 for Bright Horizons Peckham Rye Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.702
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Peckham Rye 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
