Welcome to Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool, where dedicated staff are committed to providing the best care and early education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. The nursery in Bexleyheath benefits from excellent transport links. Located close to Bexleyheath station and North Greenwich tube and 5 minutes from Bexleyheath town centre. In addition, their nursery has an onsite car park for drop-offs and buggy storage area and a holiday club.        

With a beautiful garden, which includes four dedicated areas for each of the age groups, the children enjoy free-flow access from their classrooms and have access to a wide range of activities and resources to support their development while having lots of fun. They are fortunate to have their very own chickens, which the children adore making friends with, and a qualified sports coach runs regular sports lessons to encourage a love for physical activity.

In addition, they offer Boogie mites an interactive music and movement session, which is loved by children of all ages and provides exciting opportunities to learn about the world through music and song; and while your child is busy exploring and having fun, they can keep you updated via the Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time at the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is developing at a good pace, can count to 100 and write a couple of words in birthday cards at the age of 4, which is fantastic. I can't fault nursery much, it is a good place for my little one. The only points for improvement I see are the cleanliness of the floor and more frequent hand
washing. I would use you again.

Bright Horizons passion for excellence is evident, not only in their continuous achievement of outstanding Ofsted ratings but moreover, as a parent, I am confident in validating this nursery as a trusted education provider. I have seen great improvement in my son's vocabulary and social skills. He has
developed a growing interest in reading, a curiosity to learn and confidence in forming relationships which is very reassuring as this prepares him for his transition into school in September. I am most impressed with the dedication, passion and caring nature of the teachers. They create a happy, safe and creative learning environment for our children. This nursery has exceeded our expectations and we are pleased with our son's development throughout the years. He has grown into a happy and confident little boy and he is definitely ready for school.

My son was struggling for the first few months to settle in but the nursery staff were amazingly helpful with the settling process. Now my son is comfortable to go into nursery and he is enjoying time in the nursery.
I'm pleased with the overall progress my son has made at the nursery.
I would definitely
recommend this nursery.

My wife and I were so worried about leaving our daughter at a nursery while we worked, as I'm sure all parents are, but we quickly found we'd made the best decision and that picking Bright Horizons was the right choice. Our daughter has really grown and become more outgoing. She loves her friends and
her carers. I'm also really happy with the carers who are all lovely people and also the other staff who have helped. It's a pleasure to use this nursery.

We have seen rapid development in our sons interaction with others and communication skills. The staff at Bexleyheath Bright Horizons have consistently gone above and beyond to facilitate our sons integration into daycare. The sense of assurance that your child is happy and developing during the day
provides great comfort and allows parents to focus on working without niggling doubt. My son has gone from heart-wrenching screams on drop off to simply not looking back as he runs into the room. This is a direct result of the outstanding work done by the staff. It provides immeasurable comfort.

The boy learned letters and numbers. We appreciated the good care by some staff. However, more attention needed for cleaning after using the potty.

The staff in the pre-school room take a real interest in my child's development. He is extremely happy at Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool and he's grown in confidence over the past 16 months. He is learning to write his name and can recognise letters and numbers. He can count to
100 and knows the days of the week and the months of the year. The members of staff change quite a lot but the changes don't seem to affect the children.

Having had my son pass through Bright Horizons Bexleyheath, I had no reservations putting my daughter through this establishment.
The overall quality of the nursery is that of a high standard and all staff (especially in preschool) are very engaging and actually demonstrate a passion for their jobs.
They
take time to study and know each child and are able to give an honest and personal feedback of each child when requested.
Management staff are equally responsible and always provided regular communication and updates as required.

The learning activities are very nice and cover all aspects of children's development and learning while they do not stop playing and most importantly, they find it fun! The staff always encourage good behaviour and sharing.

My son is more than happy to attend the nursery. Every morning he literally jumps out of bed ready to go to see his friends and teachers. My son's feedback says how valuable the nursery is and how happy we are as parents. We are welcome to ask for advice and can check our son's improvement. We have
never had any problems with staff or children. Our child loves everyone especially his friend and teacher. We are happy to be part of the nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both my daughter and son have come to Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool and enjoyed their time here. Both have learned skills socially and mentally and have become highly independent. My son, who still attends, is very happy and gets on with his key carer. He describes her as very
funny and caring. This to me as a parent makes it a lot easier to leave him in the care of nursery.

My daughter looks forward every week to go into preschool and do all the activities of the day. She always goes in happy and comes out having had a good day. She has a great relationship with all the staff who know all the kids by name and the level of trust with them is high from a parent perspective
as you are always told plenty about their day. Overall a great nursery, with brilliant staff, that my daughter looks forward to going to every week.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bexleyheath 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 4.7 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.707 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bexleyheath 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.707
  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.
