Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Asquith Peckham Rye Nursery for three years and it's like a second home for her.
We are so grateful to everyone for taking such good care of her.
The nursery staff are always so kind, welcoming and efficient. We are very lucky to have such an excellent nursery on our doorstep.

Review from Francis A (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with my daughter's recent progress. The staff are friendly and professional. The most important part is that I feel my daughter is in a safe place. My only disappointment is that the garden area is not very large and this is due to the closure of a part that will need to go under construction.
Children are not using the slide and the swing because of this. I hope they will fix this soon.

My son is well cared for within the setting, staff are warm and welcoming and hands on when my child is distressed. All staff are aware of his needs and are vigilant of concerns.
My son enjoys every day at nursery and is always excited to come in and see his key person.
He enjoys junk modelling
and making robots and aeroplanes.

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.
