Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool provides high-quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Situated in a waterside location and on the ground floor of a modern building, Southfields is a bright, thoughtfully designed environment for learning in Wandsworth, London. Ideal for parents needing to commute, the handy location is within walking distance of both Earlsfield overground and Southfields underground (District Line).

Within the age-focused rooms, the team provides the best start to schooling life through the enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by their own Early Years specialists. An holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress, whether that involves transitioning between rooms or preparing for school.

Additionally, the nursery's safe, enclosed garden has safety surfaces and a digging and planting area where children can grow their own plants and take part in a variety of different activities; and while your child is busy exploring and having fun, the team can keep you updated via the Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with the nursery.

All-inclusive fees include all meals, snacks, branded nappies, wipes and creams. All food is nutritionally balanced and freshly cooked by the on-site chef and all the menus have been accredited by Action for Children.

My son has been at the nursery for over a year now, starting in the toddler room and now in preschool. He absolutely loves it! They have a great, responsive management team, kind, caring and supportive staff who are genuinely fond of the children and my son comes home at the end of the day tired and
happy and full of chatter. Highly recommend.

Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons Southfields for almost 6 months now. She loves coming to nursery and often doesn’t want to come home. The staff are fantastic - incredibly caring and attentive, and keen to keep us well-informed. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is looking for a nursery

Our child has been here for nearly 2 years and been very happy. She has learnt and developed lots from her experience at nursery. We have been very happy with the relationships she has developed with staff and other children and with the variety of activities the children do. The staff are generally
enthusiastic, pleasant and caring and the children seem very happy.

My daughter really enjoys her time at nursery. She has been coming since she was 10 months (now almost 3 years) for 3 days a week and is always happy when we are on our way to drop off. The staff have really helped her to develop, she often surprises us with new things she has learnt from practical
things like putting on her coat to a surprising grasp of counting.

Bright Horizons Southfields has been great for us and our daughter. The staff are super friendly and really helpful and they have built a great bond with our daughter. Her social development has been great and she deals with the hustle and bustle of living in a busy city really well. No doubt the nursery
has had a big hand in this.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so happy with the way the staff helped my toddler settle. He had not been in a nursery environment before but had only been to playgroup for a hour or two. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. My toddler has now been there a month and has settled in well, when he is grumpy during drop-offs,
the girls always know how to cheer him up. Always learning new skills with the variety of activities and lessons they have. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My son has been at the nursery for 4 months now, he took a long time to settle in as he was very clingy, but the staff were great with him and very patient. He loves his days at nursery now and is very happy there. His keyworkers are brilliant and he enjoys the activities, especially Hartbeeps.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been entirely satisfied with my daughter's care at Teddies Southfields. From her start in the baby room to her current place in the toddler's room, the staff have been so caring, empathetic to the children's needs, and seem to do so much more than 'just' a job there - they really seem to care.
My daughter is so happy going there. The staff, are always smiling and seem to enjoy the children. They make the most of the resources, and I love the Hartbeeps activities - as does my daughter. The managing team is great - very organised, professional, and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Teddies!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.911 for Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.911
  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 Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 14 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.
