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.

Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons West Dulwich Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear your daughter loves nursery and enjoys her time with us. Do feel free to ask our nursery manager for our nursery recipes.

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.

Overall Experience

West Dulwich is a warm and welcoming nursery with a creative and diverse feel. Each child is known personally by their key workers and are personal to the family. The activities include loose parts and this inspires curiosity. Meal times are well supported and staff are all aware of dietary requirements. There are real meaningful learning experiences given to the children at West Dulwich. I am so pleased to send my child here.

Review from A E (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We settled on Bright Horizons West Dulwich Day Nursery and Preschool for our son to attend four days a week, starting in May of this year. Six months later, we are incredibly happy that we did. Our son has formed his own friendships with the staff and has blossomed into a chatty, active and happy little boy. He enjoys doing different activities every day and spending lots of time in the garden. We love receiving daily photos and updates on his development. We truly feel that the staff care about him and his well-being. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Review from Ed D (Father of Child) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Having moved our son across from another nursery we were increasingly unhappy with, Bright Horizons West Dulwich has been a complete breath of fresh air. It's confidently run, with excellent communication, a clear early educational strategy for our 3-year-old and delightful staff. The activities laid out every day are inventive and varied. The show-and-tell exercises allow the kids to find confidence. The children are encouraged to talk about and understand their emotions.

It has the feel of a homely, friendly local set-up, with the support of a big chain. The other kids are happy, the food is excellent. But above all, they are clearly excellent at retaining really good staff. Our son's key worker is wonderful with him, and friendly and communicative with us parents.
