Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery and as a parent, that means everything. She is currently in the Babyroom. The service the nursery provide is consistently excellent. Every staff member we've met has been friendly, understanding, and incredibly supportive you can really feel how much they care about the children.
The meals are nutritious and varied, and my daughter eats so well there. It's reassuring to know she's getting healthy food throughout the day.
Since joining, she has grown so much in confidence, physical development, and social skills. She communicates far more than she used to, loves singing songs, and communicates more so, good progress since she only started in the Babyroom in Novemeber 2025. Most importantly, she genuinely looks forward to going to nursery each morning.

I'm very grateful for the positive environment they've created. It's made such a difference to her development and happiness.

Review from S K (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at the nursery beginning of January 2026 and they have been very supportive in getting her settled within the baby room. They understood that I was starting work soon and wouldn't be so available to pick her up randomly during the day.
My daughter has now settled in well and is enjoying her time there. All the staff are very friendly and positive. I am kept informed of her progress and activities via the app and in person when I go to pick her up.
For Valentine's Day they did some paintings and it was so special to receive my daughter's first painting from nursery.

They have a range of activities they do with the babies and it's nice to see her exploring all of these and engaging with them. My daughter's development has accelerated from joining the nursery.

Overall Experience
Coming to the end with Bright Horizons Hendon, I can honestly say this has been a great start in life for the children.
The staff are excellent, knowledgeable and caring. The kids aren't just numbers here they are respected individuals. The kids are both educated and entertained. Thank you.
The nursery itself is clean, bright and welcoming.
If I have more kids, I'll happily send them your way.
Thank you to the manager and your team.

All the best.

Really have no complaints or issues.
I can’t really find a flaw.

If anything, if a parent has a pick-up time, would it be too much to have the child ready for collection? This is not a major issue but could just help on timings.

Review from Malgorzata S (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had our daughter in Bright Horizons Hendon Day Nursery and Preschool since April 2021 and we have only excellent experiences. Our daughter started in the baby room to transition to toddlers and then nursery. Starting from settle-in period through all transitions, it was always carefully planned and organised. The facilities, especially after recent refurb, are great, in particular, really spacious and well-organised garden. All carers have been truly wonderful, very engaged, very easy to communicate too and our children often speaks fondly of them. Also, management team has been great and always facilitating any requests, schedule changes, offering helpful advice etc. The only downside (which is not down to Bright Horizons Hendon but Bright Horizons as a corporation) is a recent change in policy which took away half-day sessions. This was the remnant of flexibility in the booking pattern, which actually forced us to move our daughter to pre-reception elsewhere. If it weren't for this change, we would surely stay there until reception.

Amazing staff and my child connected instantly with their carers and we observed a clear difference in their happiness and engagement as compared to the previous nursery.

The staff is very polite and always happy to talk in detail about kids. They also identified key areas of focus for my child and we were quite satisfied with it. We're also happy with the quality and variety of food offered.

My child has been at Bright Horizons in Hendon for a few months now, but it does feel like a second family to her already.
As a parent, I am extremely grateful to the staff as they have helped with my child’s development and physical and mental growth. I never expected to see it in such a short period of time. I can see my child loves attending the nursery and mentions these particular staff very often.

Very thankful to Bright Horizons and for the brilliant team in Hendon.

Review from A J (Mother of Child) published on 29 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic! Absolutely amazed with the care my child receives at this nursery. My daughter enjoys herself very much from what she comes home and tells me. She has a great relationship with her key person, as well as all the nursery staff and I am happy I have chosen the right nursery for her. The activities sound really good when she tells me about her day and she has made many friends. Overall, I am a very happy, proud parent, knowing my child is in a safe stimulating environment.

Overall Experience

Both my children have been at Hendon. One from 4 months old until she left at 4 and my little boy is still there and is due to leave in July. It is a wonderful nursery and I feel very lucky that both my children have been part of it. The staff are incredibly nurturing and kind and my children adore them all. Without fail my eldest asks to run in to say hello to her key workers, when we collect her brother. We will truly miss Hendon when July comes, as it really is a very special place.

Review from T S (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son joined a couple of months before the first covid lockdown in Jan 2020 aged 10 months. Nursery supported us through returning to work and settling in phases. We have watched him thrive in this environment thanks to the caring staff, brilliant facilities and activities and warm environment. He has transitioned through all 4 stages and rooms (despite the pandemic) and in each, has created amazing bonds with his key workers and friends. The staff have gone above and beyond not only to get to know our son inside out, but to really encourage him to grow and learn. It is really incredible to see just how much he has learned! We have loved the ongoing support as a family as we’ve gone through some big life milestones (toilet training, welcoming a new baby, moving homes etc). It’s really reassuring leaving him each day, knowing how much he loves nursery (and we love being able to see what he’s up to through the family app) and we can’t wait for our second child to attend in the coming months!

Tia

I have been working in childcare for 11 years, and after completing a BA Hons in Education, I started my first full-time role in Early Years with Asquith (now Bright Horizons) in 2012.

I have been fortunate to work across 2 Bright Horizons settings, with Chesham Bois being my 3rd, where I enjoyed working my way up from Nursery Nurse to Nursery Manager. I then transferred and am now the proud Nursery Manager for Bright Horizons Hendon Day Nursery and Preschool.

I continue to be very passionate about promoting the well-being and professional development of my team, ensuring we provide a high-quality and diverse learning environment for the children and their families.

I am very excited to welcome you and your children and to show you how we can provide you with outstanding care on your journey in our setting.
