Bright Horizons Lewisham Day Nursery and Preschool

My little one started to visit the nursery two weeks ago. His settling period was about a week as he was and still is so happy to go back and play with the kids and his key person. He is eating and sleeping well which is a sign to me that he is happy there. Definitely would recommend this nursery and absolutely happy that we've chosen it.

Our child attended this wonderful nursery for two years graduating in September 2020. We have seen our little one transform from a toddler into a happy and confident little boy ready to start school! This was all because of the amazing staff at Brighthorizon’s Lewisham, their support and encouragement and the happy environment which the nursery provides for the little toddlers to bloom!

My son started going to the nursery since he was 7 months old and stayed there till he turned 4 and started school. Our whole experience was very positive. As parents we were always confident that our son was taken very good care of. The transition from baby to toddler to ready for school was very smooth. The staff were extremely friendly, polite and patient in dealing with the kids as well as us parents. They were very forthcoming with all information related to our kid. The most important thing about the nursery - is that the child should be healthy, have good food and in nurtured in a happy, fun-loving, learning environment. In our opinion, the nursery exceeded our expectations and we as parents were never worried. I highly recommend this nursery to all parents.

The only improvement I would suggest is some other nurseries have a website or app to exchange updates or pictures of how the child is doing, where at Bright Horizons they are still paper-based and hand over at the end of the day. Still works well.

My son really enjoyed his time at nursery, so much so he refers to it as holiday! He has come on leaps and bounds whilst attending, made lots of friends and loved all the staff. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and always been very helpful and flexible. Thank you!

Safe space with colourful kind and caring staff. The wee one settled in after just a few weeks and is now thoroughly enjoying her time there, no fuss. The chef is excellent and she enjoys great food and treats everyday highly recommended.

My son has settled in very well and loves attending every day. The staff are lovely and she loves the chef.

Right from the start, all staff have been tentative to my daughter. She is an independent little girl but started nursery at 8 months old as I had to go back to work, so naturally worried she was the smallest there etc. But all staff, even the chef, have made it very easy for her to feel settled and have given me confidence right from the start, any questions I throw at them they know the answer and if not they find out immediately. My daughter's key worker is an angel. Thank you for looking after and teaching my daughter for the days she is at nursery.

My daughter has been going to Bright Horizons, Lewisham for three months now and she is visibly happy each morning when we arrive! The staff are extremely friendly and the premises is spacious and clean.

My son started at the nursery in Owl Babies in Nov 2018 (at 11 months) and has been full time since Jan 2019. When I first visited the nursery my overwhelming feeling was how kind, friendly and caring the staff were - and with the new additions to the team, this has only been reinforced.

He loves his time there - with the team, the other children and the activities. When he hasn't been feeling himself, the team are always there to provide the cuddles he needs. Everyone knows each child and there is a real sense of community about the nursery.

In addition, his appetite has improved significantly and he is much more adventurous in what he eats.

Thank you for everything, it has made going back to work much easier knowing he is in such a caring environment.

It's a really lovely place to take your child with warm and friendly staff who are genuinely interested in the children and their life outside of nursery. The children are happy, well cared for and engaged in age-appropriate activities at all times. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Group size is good, there are lots of books and other educational toys.

Over the last few months, we had a few hicupps which we brought up to management but two staff members were both very prompt and our feedback was dealt with seriously and we have seen tremendous improvements on points we had raised. We are always communicating with the staff/management and they keep us posted on issues and various other developments regarding our daughter. The staff are very nice and always cuddle our daughter if she is emotional, this one staff member would randomly send us pictures sometimes and that just brightens up our day.

Welcoming staff and management.

The nursery is most expensive in area and costs continue to rise. Extras such as French, Yoga etc have all been cancelled so not clear what we get for extra cost?

The staff are very nice and helpful. Since my daughter has gone to this nursery, she has become more confident and independent.

Staff are lovely, warm and very approachable. They have a wide range of activities and put the thought and effort into making it fun and enjoyable for all. The chefs are lovely and creative. They celebrate and get involved with what seems to be every festival and event going, so the children always have something to look forward to :). My child has enjoyed it all and is without a doubt ready for big school. Thank you.

Great to see a very happy faced baby every day when we pick him up from nursery.

I'm satisfied with the nursery and it's staff because they really are helping to improve my daughter's language and social skills.

My daughter has been at Lewisham Day Nursery for just three weeks and the staff have gone above and beyond to help her to settle in. Delighted with our choice.
