We really love this nursery, since all the staff were very kind and comprehensive with our daughter during her settlement period. As English as an additional language, they supported her as much as possible, so she had a smoothly first month.

This is an excellent nursery. We are happy that we chose this nursery. My son has flourished there and is getting a good start in life! He’s learning lots at nursery and they have lots of activities and lots of fun. He is always happy when he is met at the door by one of the staff and we always pick
him up with a smile on his face. The staff are always friendly and approachable; my son loves them all! The activities planned are always based around a theme and they extend the children’s knowledge and skills. The admin team are also incredibly helpful too. It is a warm and friendly environment and the manager, is excellent. I’m really impressed with the nursery and my son loves it there!

Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery is a great place for my child. They are friendly, give updates of the daily activities and take lovely pictures. My son enjoys being there and he learns a lot of things. The rooms are really good and they have good equipment and toys, especially the baby room.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Bright Horizons, Beaufort Park for any parents looking to start their little ones in nursery. Since the change of management team, we have seen a huge improvement in service, communication and are so grateful for the care provided for our son, who started in the under 2's room
and will be transferring to 2-3 room very soon! He really loves his carers in the room and was able to establish good bonds with all of them in a few week's time. Beaufort Park has also very sensibly taken the time to transition him into the 2-3s room the last two weeks, introducing him to his new key person and new friends. Our son is happy to go to nursery every morning and would give cuddles to them! We especially love the updates provided throughout the day, which include pictures and very nice descriptions of activities. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Bright Horizons Beaufort Park since they reopened in September 2021. The management is amazing. They are always helpful, always answer your questions. They accept any feedback from a parent every time you approach them. The staff as well is great. Our daughter is really happy to visit
the nursery and to spend a full time there. I believe this is the most important! Thank you all!

The standard of this nursery is very bad. Made some complaints but the management can't be bothered to improve the situation. Very poor service. There are much better options in this area. Do not recommend at all.

Wonderful experience. My daughter settled in the baby room very quickly and she loves coming to the nursery. She eats well, sleeps and has lots of fun. This is all thanks to the excellent staff, management and chef. I really appreciate the safe and positive environment. The only area (that however,
I am not asking to improve for obvious reasons) is the outside space is not that big and in the shadow, but at least there is a safe outside space. I will definitely recommend to anyone. Excellent structure.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.926 for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.926
  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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 18 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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.4 = 0.882
  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.
