Review from Alexandra L (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little one started with Brightsparks Purley in March , and I have been so nervous. The team in the baby room has been amazing though. Listened each morning for anything I had to share , worked with me to make a schedule that worked for the little one , and I was so impressed with how quickly my little one adjusted. I can't thank the team enough for taking such a heavy worry off my chest! My little one is actually stretching her hands for her key worker and that tells me so much on how happy she feels there.
The manager of the nursery is amazing too, has so much patience and she worked with me to make a schedule that works for my little one.

Everyone is super friendly and polite , they are involved , no matter the time of day I enter the nursery they're always in action looking after the children.

We couldn't be happier with Brightsparks Purley.
The staff are fantastic - caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in every child's wellbeing and development. They have played a huge role in helping our children learn, grow in confidence, and reach important milestones.

It's clear that the team creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe, and encouraged to thrive. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

Review from Prerna M (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child joined the preschool room in between the term when we moved to the area. The staff was very supportive and made sure she settles in. She is overall happy when she comes back from the nursery and I can see she has made significant progress in her alphabets and numbers since she has joined Brightsparks. Thank you to all the teachers and other staff members for taking such good care of our children.

My child has been attending this nursery since January 2025 and he is very happy there. The staff are excellent, they know the children well and have positive interactions. There is a wide range of activities planned and healthy food served. The nursery team give us regular updates and communication throughout the day. We would not hesitate to recommend Brightsparks Purley.

Very good nursery, safe space for kids. Staff is engaged and care for the children well. Son is there a few years now and we are very happy with the nursery. Nuances could be improved like larger outdoor space or more meal variety , but overall it's a lovely place and highly recommended.

Review from M P (Father of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child has been at brightsparks for around 3 years now and over the years our child has bonded with a number of staff and created a great relationship. The teachers do their very best with all children there and we really do appreciate them very much. Throughout the year, daily they come up with some creative work for the children to work with (which isn't easy). The care is also great which all parents should be looking at. The nursery is kept clean and tidy and communication is also a plus.

All I can say is keep up all the great work you guys are doing, because you guys are the stars!

Review from Jessica G (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From day one, the atmosphere has been so warm and welcoming. My LO was always really anxious around different people/strangers, but the care and reassurance she received made all the difference, she now feels completely at home and sees everyone at nursery as a second family.
The activities are wonderful, everything is so well organised, and the staff are genuinely kind.
A special thank you to Jamie and the team from Shooting Stars as you cannot fault any of them, they are all so caring and kind.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery.

Review from A N (Father of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really happy with the nursery, the lovely people who take care of the kids and how the place is run.
Both our kids are at this nursery and would definitely recommend the place.
App used to provide info on the child through the day is alright and updated through the day. Kids love the activities they do and some of the activities have been really well designed and been fun for the kids.

We also like the fact that majority of the staff have been working there for a while, so they do not need a lot of temporary staff which helps the kids to bond well with their carers and are not seeing new faces frequently.

Review from Ricky T (Father of Child) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley. Where do I begin, My Daughter attends the nursery and has done since she was 9 months young, the normal worries as a parent when leaving your only child somewhere without you was daunting. However from The Manager down to the Nursery Nurses are all so caring and tentative to not only my needs and believe me there was aloy but down to the smallest detail with my daughter. The app you get allows me to follow what my daughter gets up to during the day to day activities and play she does. Including any accidents that children get up to whilst exploring and learning. Can not praise this Nursery enough.

Overall Experience

I've been using this nursery (Purley branch) since 2019 and have always been really happy with the level of service provided and my children have all been happy here. The key workers are excellent - they are warm and welcoming and really care about the children. The nursery manager is great too and makes herself easily accessible to speak to. The level of communication here is great too whether that's the weekly emails with useful information or using the day diaries which are always full of information and pictures, which as a parent is lovely to see.

Review from Hannah T (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have sent our eldest son here since he was 10 months old (now 3.75) and our youngest son has just started. We have been impressed with all the staff and management over the years. The staff genuinely care and come up with some incredibly thoughtful activities for the children. Management have been a pleasure to deal with and communication is great. We love the app and ability to see what our children are/have been up to. They take security/safeguarding seriously so we have always felt our children are safe as well as having a great time. Sadly we are relocating so we have to say our goodbyes but thank you Brightsparks you have brought us so much comfort knowing our children are safe and cared for.

Reply from Ann-Marie Spence, Manager at Brightsparks Day Nursery, Purley

Thank you for your lovely review Hannah, you are all going to be missed and we wish you the best with the move and for the future :)

Overall Experience

I'm very happy that we were able to get our daughter into Brightsparks Purley. She's been there since she was 11 months old. The staff has been absolutely amazing and you can tell they really care about all the children. When my daughter came back to nursery after being away with the flu for a few days, the staff was very considerate to be flexible with her routine and paid extra attention to her cues. I love having the app to check on how she's doing throughout the day which also includes photo updates. Also, the food they offer is always very good standard and provides lots of variety in my daughter's diet. Very appreciative of all their support!

Review from Jordana S (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Leaving our daughter at nursery was a big step, but Brightsparks Purley made the transition so much easier. Their caring approach to settling in helped her feel safe and secure from day one. Beyond the initial settling period, they continue to provide a nurturing environment that encourages her to learn and grow. The educational activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and we've been impressed by how much she's developed. The daily updates and photos are a real highlight, it's lovely to see what she's been getting up to! Communication is exceptional, from the initial enquiry to the daily feedback. It's clear that the staff are dedicated to both her wellbeing and her education, and we're so grateful for the support they've provided to our family.

Review from M G (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The whole team at Brightsparks is absolutely fantastic with my baby ever since she started there at 8 months old. The team at the little stars room could not be any better with my baby and she is thriving in there. Thanks to the support of the team, my baby settled really well and is often smiling on daily updates and when we pick her up. The team is really good at keeping you updated throughout the day and the communication from the management team is also flawless. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice of brightsparks as a nurseries.

Overall Experience
My son has attended this nursery for a couple of years and loves it. The staff are welcoming and make an effort to understand each child's interests and personality to aid learning and interaction. Concerns regarding mood or sickness are dealt with promptly.

When transitioning to different nursery classes, staff allow children time to 'settle in' and gradually build time, rapport and connection with the children. Overall, I am very happy with the care provided and would highly recommend the nursery.
