  • Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool, Harrow
Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool is based in a lovely converted house with close proximity to the Bakerloo and Metropolitan Tube lines.

The baby room contains a stimulating sensory area, books, singing and storytime. In the toddler room, children enjoy using the indoor slide to develop balance and coordination skills.

In the brightly-coloured nursery room, children are encouraged to gain independence, with all aspects of learning covered in an exciting way.
A qualified preschool teacher plans the day's activities in the preschool room and children are invited to make their own decisions to gain independence and confidence.

There will be lots of fun activities for everyone as they have developed a new wildflower garden, separate baby gardens, mud kitchen, Sandpit, digging patch and vegetable garden… not to mention the new climbing frames that will be great for exploring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two children are extremely happy and settled at this nursery. The staff are really caring and attentive, my children have a great relationship with the staff. The children engage in a range of activities throughout the day, which as a parent, we are able to see using the app. I am really pleased
with the nurturing environment the nursery has provided for my children and has provided them with the foundations they need at this age.

My son was moved from Northwick Park to Kenton in November 2021. The change over went very smoothly, all the staff supported him in his transition. The manager's communication is A*, always greets every parent at the door, gives thorough updates and is always supportive. The staff in the pre-toddler
room have been exceptional with supporting my son through his speech. The app that Kenton Nursery use, has been so good and reliable, which enables us to have speedy collections. I am very pleased with the nursery and happy my son has got to experience such a fantastic setting.

My son joined at 9 months old. The staff have all been amazing throughout my time with them. I have seen my son progress as a little baby and even though he cries when I drop him, I know he is looked after and cared for by the team there. I would definitely recommend Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool
to my friends and family.

Bright Horizons Kenton has done an excellent job in taking care of my child in the toddler room. My child is often referring to things she has learnt at nursery and singing songs. I am looking forward to seeing her develop further in pre-school.

I am extremely happy with my son's progress from the time he joined after lockdown, to date. We see lots of developments and improvements in his behaviour and he has learned a lot in terms of acknowledging things, safety, behaviour, emotions and improvement in communication as well. We still expect
some more development in certain areas of food intake, details about activities in preschool and expect from staff to publish photos and videos on the app so we can actually see them inside. But overall we are very happy with the nursery.

Our twin boys loved the nursery. Since they joined the nursery, they developed so much and learned lots of things. They still talk about their time at nursery.
All the staff are very friendly, approachable and helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at the nursery when he was 16 months old. The long settling in period was very useful as my son found it difficult to settle initially. The staff in all the rooms do an amazing job and look after the children very well. The Nursery Manager is very helpful and is happy to give advice on
any issues children might be experiencing. She provides regular email updates on what the children have been up to in the different rooms. My son had a good time at the Nursery and fondly remembers his time there, now that he is in school.

A diverse nursery with attentive staff. Always on hand to share their knowledge and advise you where needed, as a first-time mother this was greatly appreciated.
They have all done their best given the constraints over the last couple of years.

My little one started going to the nursery when he was 10 months old. The support we received from the management and staff was very pleasing. He spent 3.5 years in the nursery and we never had to worry about anything. The staff is very friendly and they look after kids like their own. I will highly
recommend this nursery to parents who are looking for good options.

It is a very nurturing place for my child to grow and develop. The teachers are friendly and supportive. My child has always felt welcomed at the nursery. It is very culturally enriching as it observes all kind of faiths and celebrations throughout the year. It encourages your child to learn and know
about the world around them as well as how to communicate and be kind to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined the baby room at 11 months and is now in preschool. My daughters who now attend school in years 1 and 3, also joined from the nursery room so I have been with the nursery for many years. I have had a really amazing experience. Each of my children have enjoyed their experience and I feel,
show clear development during their time there. Some activities, like cooking which each of my girls loved, have had to be taken away by covid but equally, the nursery has created a really great learning experience during these difficult times. Really lovely staff and would definitely highly recommend it.

As every parent experiences, we too were anxious about our one-year-old starting nursery. However, the staff at Bright Horizons Kenton truly care and make the settling-in process as pleasant as possible. Thereafter, our little man has only thrived. He only goes nursery for two days but he has learnt
to play and eat independently. Most importantly, he enjoys the company of his key person. I have no qualms in recommending this nursery to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery have been fantastic with welcoming the children back after COVID closure and went the extra mile to help the children settle in by sharing photos of the staff with their masks on ahead of opening which was welcome. My son joined the nursery in the baby room and has now graduated from the
preschool room and the staffing and nursery have been excellent with the range of food menus, extra settling in, frequent updates with key people and I have seen my son grow into a very talkative and confident boy. Great nursery and thanks very much.

Both my husband and I are extremely impressed with the staff at the nursery. We are also extremely happy with how our daughter has developed from first attending the baby room to now be transitioning to the toddler room. The planned activities of fun playtime, inclusive of garden time, are very impressive.
I have recommended the nursery to all parents I meet as we believe it is outstanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving to London and finding a new nursery was such a worry for my husband and I. Bright Horizons have me as much time as I needed to feel comfortable regardless of how quick my son settled in. This was a great start to our journey together. The focus that was put into my son straight away was reflected
in his listening skills, behaviour, manners and most of all, speech. We couldn't be happier with our choice of placement. Our son is blossoming thanks to the staff's focus.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Kenton (formally Asquith) since she was 13 months. With a struggled start, we have seen her grow and develop in so many ways. The staff have been fantastic in supporting her to build her confidence. As she approaches the end of her time at the nursery,
we reflect on the fantastic journey she has been through from baby room to preschool. Staff are always engaging and pleasant. Since the manager has joined, we have seen some positive changes and appreciate the team's effort that goes into all the daily activities. This nursery has left a lasting impression on us.

It is clear to see (and experience) the amount of investment that the manageress has made to improve the facilities at the nursery and the learning environment and activities. The preschool and nursery closely follow the early years curriculum, making sure the kids learning and development is rich and
varied. I am very grateful for the focus they have given to the preschool children in terms of preparing them for school. I also appreciate the focus on safety and teaching this to the children too. The only one improvement would be to have parents evenings or something equivalent and more reports i.e. on a term by term basis so we can work with the nursery to develop our child.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Kenton 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.937 for Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.937
  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 4.682 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 12 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.682
  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.
