Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter's carer is amazing, she has been so good with my daughter that every time my daughter comes to nursery, she is excited and can't wait to come here. All the staff are lovely and my daughter has grown up and is a chatty, bubbly child.
I can't wait to see what creations she brings home as
she often comes home with either a lovely painting or some cakes she has made. I can't fault this Nursery. My niece previously attended here and loved it, which is the reason behind why my partner and I picked this nursery for our daughter to go to.

My son has been attending Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 18 months old. He is now three and a half and I cannot thank Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool enough. All the staff are fantastic, I felt like he was being looked after by a member of the family.
They are all extremely caring and kind. He settled in so well and enjoyed every day that he attended.


He always comes home extremely happy and looked forward to going back and seeing his friends.


Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool is a lovely nursery. The staff are extremely kind and caring and I would recommend it to any parent thinking about sending their child there.

I really can not fault this nursery. My daughter loves attending and you can see the impact it has had on her development, social skills and her eating.


The staff are lovely, welcoming, attentive and professional. The children have plenty of activities, educational and messy play. The outdoor spaces

always seem to be improving and are well used and loved by the children.


I have experiences of other nurseries from my eldest daughter and this one is amazing. Great value for money too. I would recommend to anyone.

My daughter who is 12 years old, my 9-year-old niece, 6-year-old niece and now my 4-year-old nephew who is going to school next month, have all been to this nursery. There is nothing bad I could say about this nursery. It's gone from strength to strength and the staff are excellent and very caring.
I absolutely love the new gardens and it's obvious that the children do too. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

I can't fault this nursery at all. My nephew has enjoyed every minute of his time since he was 16 months old to now being a big boy going to school in September. He is happy, always laughing with his peers and loved every staff member who he had the pleasure of being around. They cared for him so well
and taught him everything he knows and he is sad to be leaving soon. I have to say as well that the nursery gardens look fab :)

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.786 for Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.786
  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 4.952 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 16 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.952
  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.
