My son attends after school club in the preschool room.
He is extremely happy there and the staff are very welcoming and when I pick him up, he doesn't want to leave.
They have just had a refurbishment done in the gardens which look amazing and my son enjoys playing outside.

My nephew attends this nursery and I pick him up on several occasions where he always comes back excited from having a fun day at the nursery. The other day he told me he was learning about 'mini beasts' in the brand new garden!

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Very mixed feelings about our time at the nursery. On the one hand - the staff are lovely, caring and approachable. On the other hand, my child was put in danger by the nursery in not following their own procedures in relation to food service, and my child was accidentally given food she was allergic
to on a number of occasions, which was blamed on individual members of staff at the time, when really it's management who should make sure things are followed through.

My grandson always enjoys his days at nursery and enjoys telling me about the busy day he has had and the activities he has experienced whilst there.
He specifically tells me what he has had for lunch in great detail and says the food is delicious.

I have attended this nursery on a number of occasions to pick up my niece. The staff are always very friendly and the children always look happy and well cared for.
Since my niece started I can really tell she has come along way and has many little friends that she talks about regularly.

Very good day care, they really go the extra mile. My son had speech delay but he improved a lot in this day care. He has learnt a lot of educational stuff, like baking and bug hunting. He's been more talkative than before. Teachers go the extra mile and keep parents updated about daily activities and
concerns that they have.

Teddies Coulsdon has improved beyond all recognition over the past 18 months. Changes to staff, systems and ethos have made a significant difference. The change must be attributed to the manager.

My son started when he was 10 months old. He has been very happy here and has learned a wide range of things - good and healthy eating, planets, safety on the road etc. He has grown in confidence and we are extremely pleased with how he has developed in the last few years. Many thanks to all at Teddies
for all their help and support.

I have a daughter in the baby room at Teddies and I am extremely pleased with how she has settled into the nursery. I have always felt very happy with all the staff members and how they provide a welcoming and caring environment for both me and my daughter. I'm always given a thorough update upon collection
and enjoy hearing about the fun activities my daughter has taken part in. I feel that communication from the management team is excellent, regularly receiving updates about the nursery and newsletters. I would highly recommend this nursery to others. I'm very happy with the high standard of care and how the staff members really know my child's likes and preferences, ensuring she is happy throughout the day.

This is a great nursery and the staff are wonderful. My son is doing so well there.
The biggest downfall is security. Anyone can walk in without really knowing who they are. Please please please can you have a security system where only authorised people are allowed to enter?
If they are a relative,
they should give a password from the parents which enables them to collect the children. This should be recorded by the nursery. The last nursery my son went to had a great system and also provided parents with a key fob.
Also, the buggy storage is very small considering the number of children you have.

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.
