Bright Horizons St John's Wood Day Nursery and Preschool

We've been very pleased with the service from Bright Horizons Nursery, St John's Wood. Our son started there when he was just a year old, he's now nearly twenty months and he loves it there and is always eager to go. The teachers are all great, attentive and caring. He gets a little daily report. At the end of each day, outline what activities he's taken part in, his eating regime, nappy changing and sleeping regime, for each day. We find this extremely useful. In addition, we receive weekly newsletters, via email, which give a general overview of what the different groups have been doing, during the week. It also provides useful information on what reading materials have been the focus for the week, in case parents wish to replicate them at home. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this particular nursery to any parents.

Very happy with the nursery; the staff is lovely, caring and active, they seem to find the right balance between playtime and early learning. Interacting with the management has been easy and cordial.

We have been happy with the whole process, from gradual introduction to intake. The staff have always been helpful, friendly and accommodating. The daily reports of our son's day have proved useful and given a picture of how he has spent his day.

The food is great, varied and balanced. My daughter has now been in the baby, toddler and 2-3's room. Very happy in all. Special thanks to three members of staff in particular.

Bright Horizons nursery at St John's Wood is an excellent place, they have a happy and nice group of people taking care of my child. I'm absolutely satisfied with the professionalism and cordiality of them. Thank you all!

My son started in the Baby Room at the nursery at 11 months and then moved into the Toddler Room. I found the staff in both rooms to be very warm, kind and attentive to my son, always providing helpful feedback at pick up and generally being reassuring to me particularly on the days when he was more tearful saying goodbye. Those working in the office were always so helpful and accommodating which was also hugely appreciated. The nursery has a warm and friendly atmosphere and I felt very comfortable leaving my precious son in their care.

I cannot say thank you enough for looking after those monsters for that long time. We are delighted and honoured they spent many valuable days here. Both have grown up healthy and developed their skills. An excellent achievement! All staff are incredibly supportive and super friendly - it was so hard for us to leave here but our children needed to take their next steps. I truly recommend this nursery - I wish I were a toddler again. Have wonderful time and we wish all the children a brilliant future.

The staff at the nursery have gone above and beyond to welcome my son and I into the nursery. They made his settling in period as smooth as possible and when I come to collect him, he is always smiling and often being cuddled.

His development has come on leaps and bounds since starting - every day he seems to be doing something new and I know he is being engaged and entertained every minute of his time there.

The staff clearly adore every child there and are truly delighted to see the children when they arrive each morning - with every member of staff welcoming him, even those who work in different rooms. They have also been wonderful with me - understanding how tough this adjustment is for a parent and reassuring me whenever I need it with kind words and photos.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more!

Management was very flexible with part-time scheduling and quickly accommodated an urgent need for childcare due to a move. Our 2.5-year-old daughter started in the 2-3 room in September 2018. Teachers were extremely caring and made her feel right at home. A wide range of activities and crafts were offered, as well as a small outdoor space for outdoor play. This is a great, nurturing nursery where the focus is on play as it should be for this age group. Children and parents are very happy here!

My son started going to Bright Horizons, St John's Wood at 18 months old. I have been very impressed by the nursery. The staff are really friendly and caring and it is a real pleasure picking up and dropping my son off there. They have a lot of activities, they even hired a local club for music and dancing class every week. My son comes home every day with new skills, such as colours, names, counting and sorting out shapes. I would really recommend it to everyone.

My daughter has been very happy at Bright Horizons, and I have felt very comfortable leaving her in your care. She has made lots of friends, learned how to be independent from me and her dad, and has thrived in the nursery environment. On the odd occasion that she cried when I dropped her off, her carers were really great - they called me to reassure me that she was alright. I've liked the nursery so much, that I've enrolled her brother to start in September!

3 years ago we started at Bright Horizons St Johns Wood with my 18-month-old son and 3-year-old daughter. I can't speak enough about the staff (both inside and outside the nursery rooms). Early on, the staff became aware of our children's personalities (my daughter's being shy and my son's being energetic). They would nurture those personalities to help them grow through learning, play and care. They spoke about how each day went, if they felt happy or a little sad, what they had learnt and who they had made as friends. The management team and chef were also so friendly and kind - they too knew everything about our children! My daughter, having left the school two years ago, still goes in when we drop my son to visit (one person in particular she adores and has a special bond). We would recommend both the facility and the staff for any parent looking for a friendly and caring environment that combines learning, fun and love for their child. Thank you Bright Horizons!

She had a beautiful relationship with all her teachers and would always fondly talk about her friends and teachers at home. We will miss the school so much, we have so much to thank them for! X

Leaving your child at a nursery for the first time is a daunting experience. At Bright Horizons in St John's Wood, the staff (from management to child carers) are very nice, professional and understanding. I felt my 1-year-old daughter was not just looked after but genuinely liked and cared about. This meant a lot to me and is a credit to the staff. They were quick to pick up on my daughter's likes and dislikes and adjusted things to help her settle in, as well as reassuring my wife and I that everything was fine.

Our daughter just graduated from Bright Horizons in St Johns Wood after spending nearly 3 years at the nursery. She started in the infant room, moved to the toddler room, 2s - 3s room and finally the preschool room. Throughout her experience, she was enthusiastic about going to school every day. She connected with the teachers, made friends, did arts and crafts, sang songs, explored the local neighbourhood, learned to ride a bike, read books and expanded the variety of foods she ate through the wonderful lunch and tea options available to her on a daily basis. Each day at pick up I was provided with a full description of her day and what she did, how she ate, and any special activities that were happening around the school. I am fully confident that she was well cared for and loved by the teachers and staff during her time at the nursery and we will miss everyone there so much!

Our son has been in the baby room for 7 months since the age of 6 months. We find the staff extremely caring and enthusiastic. Our son has become a confident, adaptable, happy and curious little boy over time who is extremely good at interacting with other children and adults. Would highly recommend this nursery.

I think this nursery is one of the best around here because it's very safe and staff are very helpful to take care. My son was sometimes uneasy to visit nursery but staff have taken care of him with patience. I would like to express my gratitude to all staff.

The settling period is very good - they give newbies a full week to settle in and are very experienced in helping kids make this transition to nursery.

My son developed great people skills and his vocabulary vastly improved. He always seemed to enjoy the range of activities they had for him during the day. Communicating with the staff was always a delight as they listened to our needs and demands. Overall I was delighted with our experience!

My son has Down Syndrome and I was looking for a place where he could go in the mornings to be with other kids. The whole team at Bright Horizons St John's Wood Day Nursery and Preschool has been extremely supportive and eager to help in any shape or form!
