I would absolutely recommend this nursery. Both my children have been going there since being a year old and they have both thrived there so much. My eldest is now in reception and I am immensely grateful and impressed at how well the pre-school team have prepared her for school. Despite being the youngest
in her class, she has learned so much, building on what she learned at pre-school. Despite the lockdown, the children learnt a lot, all while having fun around specific themes each week. The staff overall is so caring and have a really close bond with the children. They cater to every request and always provide great feedback about the children's days and progress. They have adapted so well after the lockdown as well. It's so nice to know my children are/were in good hands and to see how happy they are/were going to nursery each day. They do a lot of lovely activities and spend a lot of time outdoors in the huge garden, something very few nurseries can offer.

The team are all just wonderful. The love, learning and energy they pour into the children is second to none. I can not thank them enough for how well they prepared my daughter for ‘big school.’ She’s got off to a flying start both socially and academically because of the structure and learning that
was in place. She’s super confident and happy and the team in the pre-school room should be very proud of the positive impact they have had for these little people.
My son is in the toddler room and he is coming on in leaps and bounds. His key worker is just great fun and he lights up when I tell him in the morning he’s spending the day with her. Every day is his dream, playing with bikes, toy trains and cars and I get lovely pictures of him enjoying himself and my kitchen is covered in his crazy artwork! I feel that this nursery has played a really important role in the life of my family and I will always be very grateful to the staff there.

After a break during the lockdown, our 2 and a half-year-old is delighted to be back at nursery 2 days a week. On nursery days she really looks forward to going and comes home so happy. A testament to the quality of the nursery.

Lovely nursery especially the staff who make it special. Plus a great outdoor area and car park for practical reasons make it easy.
They really listen to the parents if you have any focus areas for your child and give great updates. So important especially during COVID since we can’t see how the kids
are inside the nursery in pick up etc.

My son has been at this nursery for over 18 months now and received excellent care. The nursery has a good layout and great outdoor space. Day to day activity was well organised. The little man has learned so much and really enjoys his time there. We are very happy with the nursery and would highly
recommend it to any parents with young kids.

Our son has been at the nursery for over three years and is now in preschool. He is extremely happy here. Staff and management are extremely friendly, kind and approachable yet very professional with great concern for the children's wellbeing. The level of preschool teaching and engagement is excellent,
reading, writing, phonics, special topics (e.g. space, dinosaurs, nutrition recently) all are great in preparing for reception class. The garden space is wonderful and the recent internal refurbishment is lovely a really bright airy space. The food is great, a wide variety, healthy and tasty. Overall a great pre-school and nursery, our son has really thrived here!

Since our daughter has been attending the nursery we have been really impressed with the care of the staff and in her development. We really like the fact that there is lots of variety in the activities that she has got to do so far and she really enjoys herself. The nursery has a really nice outside
area for the children to play in and she has got to try of lots of different foods. You can tell how good the nursery is by the fact that she is happy to be dropped off and we get pictures of her looking very excited with all the things she has been doing while she is there.

Our youngest daughter has just started in baby room. She has found it very difficult to settle and I have been so impressed at the lengths that the staff have gone to to try and help, from the nursery manager, assistant manager, baby room lead, chef and staff across the nursery rooms, everyone is trying
to make our daughter feel safe and happy.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have recently enrolled our 2nd child after seeing the amazing job they've done with our eldest child- now 4yr and in the preschool. Our eldest has just thrived at Asquith, her confidence, happiness and reluctance to come home at the end of the day just shows how much she loves it there. The staff
are incredible- her room leader and room staff have such a good relationship with the children and always give a positive detailed handover which is very appreciated.


Both the manager, deputy manager and the baby room staff have been absolutely amazing in settling our 11-month-old. She had extended settle sessions and they have all gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and happy as well as keeping me updated throughout the day with phone calls. We're extremely happy with the service they provide and the level of care they offer.

My child hasn't been attending long. We find the key worker to be fab and the others to be good too. I find that the staff could sometimes be a bit more vigilant when the children are outside but other than that the care is great.

Asquith Surbiton Day Nursery & Preschool provides excellent care for our daughter. The preschool staff team, along with the management team, have created a friendly, fun environment in which our daughter is flourishing. The activities provided, from science, numeracy, and literacy to cooking, singing
and art is well thought out and inspiring. Over the last 6 months, we have been very impressed by the newly established preschool staff team, who each bring unique skills to the classroom, and the overall management of the nursery.

What a transformation Carlie has made! We’ve gone from planning to take our eldest daughter out to feeling really happy with how things are going and ready to start settling our youngest daughter in. The preschool children are learning a lot and seem to really enjoy it. My daughter astounded us by reciting
the Greek numbers up to 10. Something we cannot even get close to doing ourselves. Added extras like this have really renewed our confidence. The new team in place of temps are also really good and the consistency has really benefited Arabella. We don’t have anymore tears at drop off. Thank you!

My son settled into the nursery very easily 3 and a half years ago and has been happy and had lovely carers throughout his stay. His allergies were catered to and now he has outgrown them. The communal meals with his peers have helped him incorporate the previously forbidden foods into his diet really
well - much better than at home! He has been well prepared for starting school, we're really surprised and impressed by his ability to read easy words and do basic sums.

Our daughter attends pre-school full time. She is often one of the last to be picked up and I still have trouble getting her out of the building; she enjoys it so much she's not ready to go home. To me, this is a testament to the fantastic care that she receives. I've seen Asquith Surbiton Day Nursery
& Pre-school go from strength to strength, especially in the past year. The management team has taken advantage of local amenities, introducing new activities such as Forest School (which she loved) and trips to the Rose Theatre. The back garden is amazing; there's much emphasis on outdoor play and connecting with nature (such as growing their own vegetables). She's always well fed and the food is delicious (I've tried it). Finally, the quality of the care and teaching that our daughter receives by all staff is excellent. My daughter has formed great relationships with many members of staff, and it's obvious they genuinely care about her. I would recommend without hesitation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Surbiton Day Nursery in the toddler room since January this year and we have been very impressed with the care he has received and with the nursery in general. The management team are great - they are very efficient, helpful, friendly, and welcoming and have always taken an
active interest in my son's wellbeing. The nursery staff directly looking after my son on a daily basis are fantastic and have gone out of their way to help my son settle in and enjoy his days at the nursery. They provide thorough feedback at the end of each day and are genuinely interested in my son's development. Most telling is that my son himself loves the nursery and the staff and thoroughly enjoys and looks forward to going to nursery. The garden is fantastic and I love that they spend a lot of time outside.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Surbiton 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.870 for Bright Horizons Surbiton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.87
  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 Surbiton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 22 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, which has been reached with 22 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.
