Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery is a lovely nursery to bring your child to. The staff are so friendly and talk to you with kindness. They look after every child with care, even my daughter. She loves coming to nursery playing, interacting with staff and peers. At Bright Horizons East India
Dock Day Nursery, the events they do are so good for parents to stay and get involved with along with other parents and staff members. Management are so helpful and very good at what they do for the children and the nursery.

The nursery is very welcoming for both parents and child. Staff are caring and work towards the needs of each individual child. Very upbeat even on difficult days.
My child is always happy and loves the activities and all the food.
I've seen my daughter advance and there is definitely a focus
on development in social and intellectual areas.

I have to commend the staff in the Rising 3's room. Ever since our daughter attended the class, they have done everything to ensure she has settled in well. They have kept me informed and been courteous at all times. They are always helpful and the team dynamics work well, as I've got to know several
of the staff members in the group. A huge thank you to the amazing team that always makes me feel reassured that our little girl is in 'safe hands' and will enjoy her day!

I am extremely happy with the services and education Bright Horizons provides to my daughter. She has been going to the nursery for over 1 year now, and she has developed so much. I think when a child looks forward to going to school and doesn't want to go home when the time comes, it is a good sign.
Staff are amazing, professional and reliable. Food menu and options are also great. I would definitely recommend Bright Horizons to any parent looking for an amazing and friendly environment.

My son thoroughly enjoys attending East India Day Nursery. Since he first started I have seen a tremendous progress in his development and learning. The staff are very professional and caring. I am so pleased with the Nursery that I have already recommended this Nursery to a friend who has now recently
enrolled her daughter to attend this nursery.


Great thanks to all at East India Dock Day Nursery.

The Nursery has been brilliant for my daughter since she was 8 months old and has made sure that she’s both nurtured and challenged up to now at 2 1/2 years old. They are thorough in informing us about her progress and they are very kind to the children.


My daughter’s development has been rapid at

the nursery and she loves it there. I would definitely recommend.

My daughter has had a wonderful time at this nursery. I am happy with the progress so far.
One thing I felt that the variety in the vegetarian food (we being vegetarian) needs improvement .
Overall, the standard is very good .

The nursery is great! The stuff are very friendly and they look after every child with great care. There is always a lot of entertainment for kids available, from messy activities, to book reading, playing outside etc. The staff are always helpful and always willing to cooperate with parents on what
they want their children to focus on in terms of their development. Comparing to other nurseries in the area, the space is huge, there is an outdoor garden and a communal garden where kids can run and play as well as riverside walks etc.

My daughter is part of a community at East India Dock; the staff all make her feel welcome and she has made some great friends - some inseparable with some of her first words being her friend's names. I am really happy with how she is developing and looked after. I couldn't ask for more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending this nursery for the last 5 months and I've been very happy from the day she settled. This is the first nursery she's attended and the main staff in her room have taken a lot of care to ensure she settled well in the first few weeks. I have never worried about my child during
the day and the staff always provide detailed feedback about her day when I collect her. I've received good feedback in respect to my child's development - good to know that they track this and support her development. Having consistent staff helps with this.


My child looks forward to going to nursery and appears to go in happy and leave happy each day. I've been impressed that all staff (not only the ones in her room) know her by name and greet her in the mornings and when we leave. The managers are often visible at the nursery and available to answer questions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As with other parents, we also had a dilemma of which nursery and an initial scepticism of whether our child will settle down well or not.
Although we have a nursery next door, we preferred Bright Horizons (aka my nursery) due to word of mouth and we must say it was a very good decision. The staff
provided a great deal of support and took every measure to ensure our child's requirements are met and he settled down well.
Thanks to all the staff.

I would like to give my appreciation to the baby room team for looking after my son while he was settling in there and for reassuring me every time I called or met them. Such hard work they do in the baby room.

Bright Horizons East India has surpassed our expectations - the staff have been excellent, very enthusiastic, very caring and very good with our daughter who has developed greatly since joining the nursery.
The facilities are of a high standard and are well maintained - and the menu consists of fresh
food, which changes daily.
Overall, we have had a very good experience and would recommend the nursery.

We love this nursery, the staff really care about the children and our daughter is constantly learning new things. Most importantly our daughter skips into nursery every morning and has a great time with the staff and all her friends. She started there at 8 months which was hard for Mummy, again the
staff were very caring and made it as easy as possible for all of us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.801 for Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.801
  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 East India Dock Day Nursery is based on 26 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 26 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.
