Bright Horizons Peckham Rye Day Nursery and Preschool

The nursery managed to remain open for much of last year which has been a lifesaver for working parents. The staff have remained consistent throughout which has made it far easier to ‘drop at the door’, now you never actually see inside. Staff are always so welcoming to the children and regardless of the room your child is in, everyone knows them by name and vice versa.

What a nursery! My words will never be enough for what I want to say about this amazing nursery. I could never have chosen a better nursery to put my daughter in. She is super happy in here, has many friends and loves the teachers. She has always been very picky with her food, but now she eats well. The whole team is fabulous. They are all very dedicated and care. I couldn't ask for better!

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.

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.

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.

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.

My daughter loves to go there and in the morning push's me away so I can go to work and she can play with her friends. Always happy to go there every morning.

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.

Pleasant, refreshing, energetic and nostalgic.

Overall very happy, my son loves coming to nursery. Great team, loads to do, nice garden, great food. I know my son is entertained. I would recommend to any new family.

We attended our son's graduation today. There are no words that can express the care, love and effort shown by the staff at this nursery. A great choice for little ones.

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.

Highly recommend.

The food is cooked on the spot and is nutritional and delicious. I am overall very pleased we chose this nursery for our baby daughter.

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.

Since our daughter started in September, she has come in leaps and bounds. The staff are WONDERFUL and we couldn’t be happier with the care provided. We hear about everything she gets up to on a daily basis and she seems to really have taken to the key workers and other children. Highly recommend!

My daughter, joined the nursery recently and found it very easy to settle in after moving. I find the feedback from the staff helpful and we always get a good update on what she has been up to. The events they run are interesting and I would recommend the nursery.
