  • 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.

This nursery has been the best place so far. I couldn't have asked for any more when it comes to the kind of care they provide to the kids. I have seen my son grow exponentially in terms of learning.
Thank you for all the effort you put in to keep the kids well and happy.

Our son has attended the nursery since the baby room. He ahs been happy and very well cared for. Settling in between the different rooms he has progressed through has been handled very well. The teachers are approachable and friendly. Overall we are very happy with our son's development here and we
feel he is ready for school.

My daughter has been attending since she was 17 months old. She has become a confident girl and has shown us she is ready for reception. She has learnt a lot and built many friendships. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Pre-school learning is excellent, my daughter is able to read and write.
We will miss everyone dearly, thanking all the staff for looking after our daughter from the baby room to pre-school.

My granddaughter currently attends this nursery. She looks forward to her days at the nursery, the staff and management are very welcoming.
The learning environment is excellent.
I have read information displayed around the nursery regarding sensory play at the nursery.
This is an excellent opportunity
for the children attending the nursery for their development while exploring the world through sensory play.

My child has always been encouraged by staff in communicating and developing. In less than one year my child's language, social and emotional skills have got so much better. Staff and facilities are brilliant. Putting my child in this nursery has been brilliant and I can see it in her progress made.

My son has been coming here since he was 2 years old and I have seen a lot of difference in him. He has become confident and communicates a lot. He has also some good manners.
All the credit goes to the lovely teachers, staff and not to forget staff on office.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son started off in the baby room and has moved up into preschool. He has progressed well and has well developed language skills.


He has made friends and the staff have been very supportive. My son has always been a fussy eater at home, but at the nursery/preschool, he eats well with the other

children which has been great.


I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Excellent care from staff and management who have given my son individual attention, support and care since he started there eight months ago. He has learnt to eat well with a spoon himself, sit patiently at meal times, learn to follow instructions etc - all through these interactions with the other
children and carers.
Management communicate well with parents - through the regular newsletters, updates and emails. The recent fee review (which resulted in a decrease in rates!) was also gratefully received and has won a lot of goodwill from parents as the nursery has demonstrated that the children and families wellbeing is at the centre of its philosophy.

Best place I could ever choose for my little boy. English is not his first language, but with staff support, he is improving really well. The staff are really nice and supportive and management is the best I could ever see.

The nursery has a very warm and welcoming ambience. The staff from day one until the end of the 8 weeks settling were very supportive, proactive and caring.


This place and its people are now a second home to my child. I am in debt to the staff. From nappy change to feeding, the staff gives personalised

care. They know how to make my son happy. Thank you so much.

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.
