My son has been attending this nursery for a year now and I am beyond happy with how things have been. Communication is great, the atmosphere is friendly. He is not the most confident at times and they have really bought him out of his shell. I love the updates we receive and range of activities he
partakes in. They picked up that his speech was slightly behind and referred him for help, which in the end was not needed as he improved with their assistance before the referral appointment was due. They spend as much time outside as possible which I absolutely love. I am very happy with our experience and would recommend this nursery (and have done so) to others.

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Sutton highly enough. From day one (started in Feb 2024) the staff have been professional, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the best care for my child. My now 2-year-old has some feeding difficulties, which can be quite challenging, but the team has been nothing
short of amazing in handling this with patience, understanding, and skill. Their support has made such a difference, and I truly appreciate their efforts in making me feel confident that he's in the best hands.
Beyond the care they provide, I am amazed at how much my child is learning. He comes home with new skills, whether it's language development, doing better with his meals, or social interactions. They focus on both education and play in a way that truly engages children.
Communication is very good, I always feel informed about my child's day, progress, and any challenges.
I'm honestly so grateful for everything they do and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other parents.

We are really happy for sending our daughter to bright horizon Sutton. She's being going there since 2022. The staff there is really friendly, professional and helpful. They have always supported and helped whenever there is a need. If I can I would send there my kid for another year.

Our 1 year old daughter started at Bright Horizons in Sutton in January, and we've been so happy with everything so far. The staff have been brilliant with helping her to get settled.
I feel confident that I'm leaving her in safe hands and have enjoyed seeing the bond she's building with staff - who
clearly show a lot of care and attention towards her.
We get regular updates when we pick her up, but are also kept up-to-date on things such as her feeding and sleeping habits via their app throughout the day. They also share photos at the end of each week, which we love as we get a little insight into our daughter's day at nursery!
We've also seen great progress in both her language skills and eating a wider variety of foods.
We chose Bright Horizons due the fab first impression we got during our introductory visit - we felt they offered the right mix of being warm, playful and friendly, in a clean, safe and professional environment. And they have absolutely lived up to this!

We have two children at this nursery, a 4-year-old and an 18-month-old. Both children absolutely love their time at nursery.
Our eldest has been there since she turned 1 and has made some lovely friends and she continues to learn academically as well as developing her confidence in herself and engaging
with peers.
Our youngest has settled really nicely over the past six months. The girls in the baby room are wonderful with him and he clearly loves playing with them and learning to sing and sign and play in the garden.
They both enjoy the food too and the staff have always been great with any additional things we've had to ask, like dealing with medication or food sensitivity.

Not been a good experience in this nursery which is a shame. I started my son here after moving to the area. The nursery he used to go to where we lived before was much better. I had to move my son to another nursery due to our poor experience here. Some staff are okay but not all, generally they are
not proactive. Often at drop-offs and pick-ups, you find a lot of children with 2 staff (not the ratios they tell you). The menu isn't great either. The manager seemed nice however I still do not recommend this place. There are much better nurseries in the area and most of them don't charge as much as this place.

My elder child moved to this nursery during the pandemic and I was very worried about handing him over at the door. The staff were incredible and he settled in very quickly and formed strong bonds with the staff and other children. My youngest started here soon after and as a pandemic baby he’s much
less confident around new people but again the staff were wonderful with him and he soon looked forward to going. He will move to school after three happy years here and I couldn’t be more grateful to the women who have looked after him. The range of activities they offer is outstanding - I would love to do yoga and crafts every day! - and the enthusiasm of the teachers is never-ending. The food has been a particular highlight as they are exposed to a wide range of home-cooked meals and are quite happy to eat lentils, “weird” vegetables, and stronger flavours. The facilities used to be a bit old and tired but the new refurb is much better.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, Campaigns & Digital Marketing Executive at Bright Horizons Sutton Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear your children adapted well, even during tough times. The staff's dedication shines through, and it's fantastic to see your children thriving. Wishing your youngest a smooth transition to school after three happy years at the nursery!

We were incredibly lucky to find this nursery when we moved to Sutton area in 2021 and our daughter was only 11 months old. She stayed from babies to pre-school (she's currently in pre-school) and we saw her growing happily at this nursery. The room staff are amazing and offers a variety of activities
to engage children of all ages. Children receive constant stimulus, appropriate to their development stage and individual traits. The management is like family to us, always responding to our questions or needs with dedication and flexibility. It's clear that the entire staff care a great deal about the safety and well-being of each child. They are loving and professional. They regularly monitor and communicate children's progress to parents. Indeed, we've already registered our second baby there!

We moved to this nursery in November 2023 after moving to the area. Our old nursery was another well-known nursery big name and we had a dreadful time there. We honestly assumed it was just part of the nursery experience. How wrong we were.
Our daughter has serious allergies and some very niche food
requirements. Nothing was too much trouble for the chef and how delightful to find that the whole nursery is egg and nut-free and all the desserts are vegan as standard. Our daughter's health has improved dramatically since coming here, the staff are excellent at adding little notes via the app so we know what she's eaten every day, they just understand that we are in a constant state of anxiety about food and these small acts can change this hugely.
We get daily updates with pictures and activities laid out well in advance. Our daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since coming here and is even sleeping better.
The staff and managers are incredible and I will shout it to everyone I meet!

My child loves their time at Nursery. The room staff are absolutely brilliant and are imaginative with the wonderful range of activities they undertake, including cooking and brilliant immersive days. The management team are equally fantastic, responding quickly to communications and helping to support
key milestones such as potty training and new siblings etc. It was important to me that a nursery offers a separate sleeping area and this is one of the few locally that has this facility. I love the fact that the food is prepared onsite. The menus are great and are flexible to different dietary needs. My child absolutely loves their meals at nursery. I couldn’t recommend it more.

My little girl has attended Bright Horizons Sutton Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 8 months old, starting during the pandemic and from the beginning, they have been amazing at settling her and meeting her needs. She quickly became comfortable, which helped ease any worries and anxiety that we
had as parents. She has an amazing bond with all members of staff, especially her key worker. They consistently keep us updated with her development and work with us to ensure progress is maintained. They have been particularly great in helping to support her additional needs with the support of the nursery Senco and working along outside agencies to create a plan that works for her individual needs. Overall, we are very happy with Bright Horizons and would highly recommend them.

My child is well looked after and enjoys nursery and all the activities. All the practitioners are lovely and informative, we love hearing about his day when we collect him. The app is super helpful as I can see what he has eaten for the day and lovely photos of activities and play time he partakes
in. The only slightly negative feedback would be is that it is slightly more expensive than other nurseries, however, you pay for what you get and we wanted the best for our child.

My son started nursery in Sutton during covid. He went into the preschool classroom. I literally just hand him over. (My son is extremely shy and nervous with people he doesn’t know). One of the ladies looked after him so well. My son was really fond of her. She made him and myself feel at ease. He’s
been there 4 months and I have to say the staff are fantastic. My son and I couldn’t be happier with the staff who look after him. They all seem to go the extra mile.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.590)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.590) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Sutton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.590 for Bright Horizons Sutton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (7 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.59

  • b) 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 Sutton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
