Peckham Rye Day Nursery has been a wonderful nursery for me. The manager is good and helpful. The teachers are excellent. They communicate with you in regards to your child's progress. They take good care of the kids very well. The school environment is so clean.

My daughter started here at the beginning of the year and has settled very quickly due to the lovely staff in the baby and toddler room. She adores her key worker and is simulated by the environment/toys provided.

This nursery provides a nice childcare service with a long day which is helping me with my job hours.
Very friendly and helpful staff is looking after my child very well while I am working. It is a bit expensive but as soon as my child is safe and happy there and can carry on with my job then it is
the most perfect nursery for us.

My daughter has just moved up to the nursery room at Asquith. We have been pleased with the transition and have been impressed with how smoothly it has gone. It is sometimes slightly chaotic at morning drop off, but I feel that is expected as this is the busiest time.

We were very impressed by the care and attention taken to settle our daughter into the nursery, before she joined and during the critical first weeks. The manager and staff were tremendously understanding and accommodating. They made every effort to welcome our daughter and make her feel at home. She
loves the outside space, which they spend a lot of time in and enjoys all the activities they do each day.

A homely but very structured feel which has helped my little one to be such a confident boy. He is happy coming to nursery and has loads to share about the staff, children and his day.the new learning room has been very popular with children enjoying a variety of experience helping with life skills
like cooking, making observations etc.
I cannot compliment the staff and the chef. Everyone works as a family.

The staff at Asquith are excellent. Our daughter is very happy and it is obvious that the staff really care for her and all the children. She really enjoys playing outside and all the craft activities. They are really helping her with her writing and it is great to see this developing, so she will be
ready for school.

Our family has been using this nursery for four and a half years. Both daughters have loved their time here. It's safe, warm and welcoming environment. The staff are friendly and approachable, always giving honest and detailed feedback. The facilities are great and the food is exceptional. We'll be
sad next year when our youngest starts school.

My daughter has really grown over her time at Asquiths. She eats and plays well and clearly enjoys her time. Since the change in feedback sheets, I do not have as much visibility as before on her day as at pick up time everyone is clearing up, and does not have time to feedback. I am not concerned at
all, it is just nice for me to hear about her activities.

The staff at Asquith have been exceptional in looking after both my children from 10 months up to reception.


They make everyday fun and engaging and I really feel my children had an advantage when they started school in both social and academic skills.


I also rate the meals supplied very highly

- the chef does a brilliant job - I wish we could get takeaways now.

I just went with my sister to drop my niece and I was amazed at the ambience of the nursery. It was clean, smelled fresh and the staff were so welcoming. They asked if I wanted to come and see my nieces room and then showed me her peg, and spoke about things she has been doing.
The manager also looked
friendly and took time to talk about new initiatives in the nursery.
I felt like I needed to be a child again as the rooms looked very inviting. I spoke to my sister and she too is extremely happy.

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.
