My son started at the nursery earlier this year and we have been very happy with our time here. The staff are very professional and have been great helping us settle in. The staff are always very helpful and have done a great job at providing the specific care my child needs. The facilities are clean
and well kept and the food served is also excellent. I would highly recommend!

Amazing! So impressed by the superb standard of care at this nursery.
My daughter is so happy here, always coming home happy and animated, constantly surprising us with the new things she has learned.

Overall we are very happy with the nursery. The staff are warm and loving, especially our daughter’s key worker. The room is bright and spacious, with a wide variety of activities and the garden is lovely. Our daughter finishes each day happy and doesn’t want to go home. She has grown in confidence
and abilities. You get the sense that the staff really know the children and tailor their development opportunities according to their individual needs.
Sometimes there have been some small issues with communication, especially as the internet hasn’t been working so the app is not being updated.

Amazing nursery and wonderful caring staff who pay so much attention to the learning and development of the children. Staff are keen to learn about my child’s special needs and how to help him. His learning and development journey has been incredible and far better than I expected.
He runs into nursery
excitedly every morning and is always in a good mood when I collect.

My eldest daughter, attended the nursery at Golders Green, Bright Horizons in 2018 and she absolutely loved it! The teachers are all so welcoming and knowledgeable that she developed excellent values and skills to perform in her primary school years and that is the reason why we also sent her brother
to attend his nursery at the same school.

I could not ask for a better day care for my son. I have seen such an improvement in him. He has become more social and he communicates and enjoys playtime. The staff are absolutely amazing and always put my mind at ease. They are very accommodating and always update me on how my son is doing. They
provide a fun educational safe place for children to learn and explore. I highly recommend Bright Horizons, day care.

I am happy that my child is learning more and being so sociable, at the nursery. He is sleeping and eating well there and I can see his progress day by day. All this is because of the good staff and good conditions in the nursery. If my child is happy, I'm happy as well.

We have had a really good experience with this nursery. Our son has bonded well with both his key workers and the staff have always been accessible to address any of our concerns. The app was rolled out shortly after we joined and we find it reassuring seeing the updates throughout the day. The outdoor
areas are the best part, as each age group gets their own, pretty spacious area.

It was the best decision to go with this nursery. My little one is in the preschool now and has been at the nursery since she was 14 months old (baby room). The nursery have been an integral part of my little one's development and have been invaluable with all the support and advice over the years.
The staff, in particular, the management team and the preschool team are wonderful. They always provide support and advice specific to the child and family, showing they really take an interest and ‘know’ the individual child. The staff are genuine, positive, cheerful and inspiring. My child is so happy. She always talks about the staff and her friends. As a parent, that’s the best thing to hear.

I cannot recommend the Golders Green nursery enough we love everything about the way they have helped our little girl to develop! She enjoys going so much that she is asking us to up the days she actually goes into the nursery! She enjoys the playtime and activities and also the relationship she has
struck up with the children and the members of staff really shows when she comes home. She talks about them all the time!

We travel 6 miles in so that we can use Bright Horizons, Golders Green. I honestly wouldn’t want to send my child to any other nursery, locally. All the staff are friendly and professional and I mean that in its entirety. They will go the extra mile when needed. Great place and will recommend to anyone!

I am the happiest mum ever with Bright Horizons. My son is not very easy, I know he can be so active and the patience and care of the teachers is amazing, all of them, and especially one member of staff, in particular, is very professional and I can see the care and love she puts into her role.
The
manager is very nice, always there to help me with any doubts I have and always with clear and right information. I love this nursery and the way they treat the most important thing in my life, my son. They update me all the time and send me pictures. I feel my son is safe, happy and learning so much every day. His progress since he started Bright Horizons is unbelievable!
Thank you so much Bright Horizons.

We both have very demanding jobs and knew our daughter would spend long days at nursery. We couldn't be happier with our choice! The staff and management team are caring and friendly and she has developed so much since she started. But, most important of all, she loves going in and feels at home!

I have been using this nursery for nearly seven years and am so happy with it. I was so confident leaving my first child there (despite being a nervous mum) and would not even consider anywhere else for my second who is now in the preschool, having been at the nursery since she was 11 months old. The
staff really know the children and their individual needs and clearly enjoy the job. The communication is fabulous. I think the app is a great addition but communication has always been encouraged. Wonderful place.

My 3.5 year old daughter has been attending since she has been 10 months old and is very happy at the nursery.The approach to settling in was really great as it gave my child and myself the time to get to know the nursery, staff and setting very well and I didn’t feel rushed. My child has grown with
the nursery and the nurturing and caring setting has been a big part of her development and self-confidence. The nursery manager and her team have always been super responsive and helpful. Thank you to all of the staff

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.
