The staff are very friendly and key workers are always very knowledgeable about my daughter's favourite foods, activities etc. This is very helpful since I don't see my daughter during the day from Monday to Friday.

Review from Sarah J (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son started attending the nursery he is os independent, he eats alone and likes to try new things, he sings at home and talks a lot about what he does there. He also developed a special relationship with nannies here and is very comfortable with them. I love the outdoor space and there seems
to be a new activity every single day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Asquith West Hampstead for just over one year. We have been extremely happy with the standard of care he has received in both the baby and toddler rooms. We are excited for him to move into the nursery room soon. All staff are very welcoming and my son has developed into a confident
and happy little boy. We'd like to thank everyone for their commitment and hard work and look forward to seeing our son continue to develop. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.325)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.325) out of 10 for Bright Horizons West Hampstead Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.700 for Bright Horizons West Hampstead Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.7
  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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons West Hampstead Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 10 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.625
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Hi, I'm Shireen and I am the Nursery Manager for Bright Horizons West Hampstead.


I have a CACHE Level 2 and a CACHE Level 3 Early Years Educator. I've worked in childcare for over 10 years I have worked as a special educational need’s coordinator, practitioner, room leader, deputy manager and a manager.


As a mum of three, I enjoy teaching all ages and ensuring children get that awe and wonder from the moment they step into my setting to the moment they leave us to go to school. I truly believe in making my setting a home from home and ensuring that every child feels secure and comfortable.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

My name is Kelly Thomas and I am the Deputy Manager for West Hampstead Day Nursery.


I have worked in Early Years for over 20 years, working my way up from a Summer helper in a preschool to Deputy Manager, and have had various roles, including SENCO, room leader and Early Years Coordinator. I am always developing and enhancing my knowledge and have gained a BA Honours Degree in Early Years: Teaching and Learning.


I joined Bright Horizons in 2022 but have worked for small independent nurseries as well as large chain nurseries.


I grew up in a family where children are at the heart of everything, where my mum is a foster carer, and I am a respite foster carer. I therefore have a passion for and am committed to providing a caring, nurturing, stimulating and safe environment for children. Working in childcare is a fulfilling career and I enjoy giving children the opportunity to discover and develop themselves and the world around them to reach their full potential and flourish in their development. I appreciate that parents are entrusting us with their most important person, so I believe strong partnerships with families are a key to children being safe, happy, and successful in their learning journey.
