Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started his first experience away from home at Golders Green Bright Horizons nursery, and it's been such a great start for him. The staff are warm, caring, and always take the time to make sure every child feels happy and settled. The environment is bright, clean, and full of fun activities that
really help the children learn and grow through play.


I love how well they communicate with parents. They always let me know how my son's day went, what he enjoyed, and how he's developing. It's clear they really get to know each child and care about their wellbeing. My son looks forward to going in every day, which says it all. I'm so grateful to the whole team for creating such a positive and nurturing space.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For my family's needs this place is absolutely great. I am a single mother of 2 (a preschooler and a under 1 year old) so for me was important find a place where both my kids can attend when I've decided to return to work from maternity leave. Knowing them at the same setting gives me the peace of
mind, the long opening hours are very helpful for working parents who don't have any other support for childcare, the updates during the day are comforting. The staff is wonderful and warm, both kids made easily a connection with a staff member. The meals are very, very tasty according to my preschooler. I found everything very easy and straight forward from registration to nursery, accommodation, drop off and pick up.

My daughter has started nursery for the first time in November. She was taking a bit longer to get settled, but all the team were so friendly and helpful that made this transition period as smooth as possible, not just for my little one but also for me.
They always have different activities to help
her development, and always update her success on the app. Now she is enjoying and always looking forward to going back the next day.
I highly recommend the Bright Horizons Golders Green Day Nursery and Preschool.

My kids started nursery for the first time two months ago. One of my children does not take well to change and this was a massive change for him. But the carers were confident and comfortable with meeting both of my children's needs and communicating well with me. They are warm and gentle carers who
will meet your children at their level, whatever that may be. I feel at ease knowing my children are in good hands each day.

My daughter started joining the nursery at 11 months. The first month was difficult but the carers spend lots of time helping her to settle in. Now, my daughter enjoys her time in the nursery a lot. The carers in Bright Horizons Golders Green Day Nursery and Preschool is very good and attend to the
details, they know the baby's/toddler's preference by heart. My daughter has grown a lot and learnt a lot in the nursery, every time I show her the pictures in the nursery, she will give me a big laugh.

The management and staff have been absolutely brilliant during our initial days here at the nursery. The settling-in sessions went great where the staff gave us all the information we needed and made us feel super comfortable and at ease to leave our little one with them for a couple of hours.

Our 11-month-old joined this nursery in the month of Jan and so far we have had a very positive experience. All the staff are kind, professional and are on top of things which is very encouraging. We are given regular updates which has been very helpful in knowing what is going on and how he is developing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Finding a nursery was a challenge for me. I had recently been widowed and left with the hard task of transitioning to lone parenting and trying to return to work.
My initial viewing and the staff I met really gave me confidence in moving ahead with putting my daughter into some childcare. I really,
really loved the space and the atmosphere. The facilities were really nice with great outdoor space. I took a friend who has an older child in a nursery elsewhere and she was impressed. They have been kind and sensitive to my situation. My daughter has settled really well and enjoys her time there. Communication and updates are really well managed. She eats, sleeps and plays well, all a good sign she is happy. The structured activities and encouragement for learning through play has been a great thing for my daughter and I feel she really benefits rather than it simply being a childcare solution for me to work. I would highly recommend.

Bright Horizons ( Golders Green) is the most warm, welcoming nursery. Everyone is so positive and happy, it automatically makes you feel relief that your child is in good hands and that they are safe. The app is very useful, I can keep track of my child whatever she’s doing, for example, sleeping, nappy
change, eating. Keeps me relaxed to know what my child is doing. It is a very professional and determined company and workers, they really care about you and especially your child. I am very happy that I chose Bright Horizons. It is very good of them that they always update us in every situation, even if it’s little situations. My child has settled very happily.

My daughter started nursery about a year ago now and she absolutely loves it. She loves all the staff. They are very good with her and have settled her in very well. I am quite pleased as I was worried when leaving her at nursery at such an early age. When we started potty training, the staff were very
helpful in ensuring she continue to use the potty. All the staff are caring and well trained. That has given me added assurance. I will recommend Bright Horizons Golders Green Day Nursery and Preschool to all my family and friends.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Golders Green 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.922 for Bright Horizons Golders Green Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.922
  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 Golders Green Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 13 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
