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.

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.
Hello, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear that your son has flourished at Bright Horizons West Dulwich. We appreciate your recommendation!
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...
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.
We are so happy with the care our daughter receives at Bright Horizons West Dulwich. The staff are great and she has grown in confidence since attending. I would recommend it. They do a brilliant job of taking care of the children there.

Friendly and caring practitioners who try their best to help my child to settle in and make him feel at home. They put in a lot of effort to ensure play-stations for children are varied and educational too. I would highly recommend this nursery!

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.
