Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brightsparks is a really lovely nursery with exceptionally caring staff who always welcome us in the morning with a smile on their faces. They provide verbal updates at the end of every day and I feel well informed as a parent with regular updates throughout the day via a dedicated app. They are led
by a very experienced and competent manager who is approachable and quick to respond to any queries. They’re very supportive and communicative during settling in and transitioning to the next room and during stages such as potty training.
It’s a lovely setting, conveniently located a couple of minutes’ walk from Malden Manor Station. Children seem to make good use of the outdoor play area as well as outings to the park in summer. There are events put on during the year in which parents can get involved. My daughter is really happy at Brightsparks and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't recommend it more, the building itself is clean and a great size for activities, the staff are amazing, so caring and involved with learning and development.
Their chef makes fresh healthy meals and snacks and every day, all activities (meals, naps, bowel movements) are documented in real-time
on an app straight to my phone including pictures of activities such as painting, playing outside in their toy garden and so on.
The management are super helpful with any requests or questions.
All round 10/10 couldn't fault them at all.

They take good care of our daughter who has been going since she was 9 months old. She seems happy going there and enjoys her time. The flexibility of booking ad hoc days and early starts work well for me.

A lovely nursery, my son loves his days in Bright Sparks. The team are very good with him and do lots of fun and educational play too. Since starting nursery my son’s speech has greatly improved and has become better at interacting with other children. We are very happy we picked Bright Sparks.

Our son attended Brightsparks from the age of 15 months to starting school. He has enjoyed his time there and has learnt a lot. He has additional physical and learning needs, which the team have been excellent at supporting, including working with other education and health professionals. We would recommend
this nursery to other parents.

Brightsparks is a great nursery. My older daughter attended from age 5 months old to 4 years old and currently my 3-year-old son is there, having started when he was 5 months old, too. For every age phase, there are caring nursery staff who ensure that the children have fun, are safe and develop the
skills that they need to take into primary school. I would recommend Brightsparks to everyone.

We are extremely happy with Brightsparks. My older son has been in Brightsparks since he was one year old and he loves it there. They have been very professional and understanding, even though I was anxious after lockdown, but they have always been so great with him and with us as well. The staff are
friendly, they are genuinely caring and they do their best to ensure every child is well looked after.

I would highly recommend Brightsparks Nursery. This was such a big decision for me to find the right nursery where I would feel comfortable, leaving my baby for the first time. I had a few days settling in with my baby and felt at ease when I had to leave my baby. The team are so friendly and positive
and have given me advice on weaning. They are nurturing and supportive and they provide my son with so much care. He has come on so much in 4 months with his development since joining the nursery. When I drop him off in the morning he happily goes to his key workers and cannot wait to get in the nursery to play! They have new activities daily. There are regular updates on my son's progress in physical development, communication and language, literacy, mathematics, arts and design and many more. Also, updates on their app help me stay in the loop about what my son is doing for the day with photos. Brightsparks have exceeded all my expectations. Thank You!

The staff at Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden are friendly and caring and they create a welcoming and safe environment for young ones. During the pandemic, both management and staff have worked really hard to make the nursery

My daughter has been attending Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden since she was fifteen months old and I cannot understate how pleased we are with the nursery and pre-school. She settled in amazingly and has loved it ever since. Thanks to all the wonderful staff who make her feel safe and loved. The
food is fabulous, healthy and cooked on-site and the activities are so educational and of a huge variety. They spend time outdoors whenever they can and also take the children on walks in the forest. I always recommend the nursery and can’t wait until my next daughter can attend and also have the most fun days. Thanks so much, everyone!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool New Malden 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.880 for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool New Malden is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.88
  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 Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool New Malden is based on 25 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
