Very good nursery overall. Friendly staff, kids have a lot of place to play and spend quite a lot time outside. And the main indicator for me is that kid likes going to the nursery, loves spending time there and enjoying it as well as likes everyone who he interact with. Also stuff was very understanding and supportive during adaptation period.

After 18 months, the progress my son has made is nothing short of remarkable, and I have no doubt that this is down to the incredible dedication of the staff and the outstanding environment they've built. They clearly go above and beyond for every child in their care.

You can tell the staff really enjoy their work and care for the children. My initial worries were he wouldn't like it but I see from photos and his interactions with staff that he very much enjoys it.
Since management has changed there has been a massive improvement admin and communication wise and I cannot sing Chelsie and the teams praises enough!
If I had to find something to critique I would say I wish they had some grass in the garden but that's it!
We'll be sure to share your kind words with the team!

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons West Dulwich Day Nursery and Preschool for three years and we have had such a wonderful experience in every class. Seniors are nurturing and supportive - a wonderful environment for her.

In a nutshell, a warm and conducive environment that makes you feel comfortable to leave your child in. Plus, the added bonus of a built relationship with teachers having had my first child attend Bright Horizons West Dulwich Day Nursery and Preschool as well.

We have had such a positive experience. My daughter loves nursery and talks fondly of all the staff and her friends. We love dropping her off to such a warm, inviting environment. We know she is well looked after, well-fed and she is never bored. There are many creative activities to do. We could not praise the nursery more. We would love to get a couple of recipes from the chef!

My daughter is so well cared for by experienced caring staff who are always friendly and have a smile on their faces. She is very sad to be leaving (for school) as am I. We will all greatly miss all of the nursery.

My son is in the senior pre-prep room and loves the time he spends at nursery. There are such a range of activities daily as well as child-led activities. The nursery is a warm, caring environment which supports our son brilliantly.

Chelsie has been working in childcare since 2016, progressing from completing her Level 3 Apprenticeship to becoming a Nursery Manager. She has also achieved her Level 3 SENCo qualification.

I am a confident, knowledgeable worker, dedicated to creating a stimulating, encouraging, safe atmosphere for each child's individual needs. During my 19 years of experience, I have developed strong skills in supporting young children, and am genuinely passionate about providing the best child care and play experiences. I have been in childcare since 2001, working my way up from unqualified to room manager, unit coordinator and deputy manager. Learning all the way, ever-expanding in childcare knowledge, and understanding the ever-evolving way children like to learn. Working with lots of different families and professionals along the way.
I consider myself as a hardworking and self-motivated individual who enjoys facing challenges and finding a professional way to deal with them. I enjoy listening to children, members of staff, and families, take their thoughts into consideration. I feel that my good communication skills are very essential when working as a team especially when children are involved. In my leisure time, I enjoy socialising, travelling, listening to music, reading and visiting my family.
