Bright Horizons Beckenham has an amazing team , warm, kind, respectful, and always willing to help. The directors are attentive to every parent's needs, and in my personal experience, I've received so support. The teachers are empathetic and always provide updates on the children's learning progress.
They are truly a wonderful team!
The sensory, communication, and exploration activities are fantastic; they really help children develop their skills and confidence. I had my son in Preschool, and the experience was amazing. Now my daughter started in the Baby Room, she's now in Toddlers, and everyone has been so caring and attentive to her cognitive and social development.
I'm truly happy , I couldn't have found a better nursery for my children. Having such a lovely space where they can play, learn, and have fun is simply amazing.
They are the best!

Our child has settled in so well since starting in March and their development has progressed so much. All the staff in the whole nursery are so welcoming and engaging with the children, it gives great comfort as a parent leaving their child to see them so happy and excited to be there. We are so pleased
and are so grateful for all staff, especially in the baby room and of course our key person who definitely hold a special place in our child's heart.

We are incredibly happy with Bright Horizons. The staff are wonderful and very attentive to my child's individual personality and needs, and can spot when she isn't quite herself. The indoor and outdoor spaces are great and well used, she gets outdoors so much which we are thrilled with. The range of
activities on offer is great and she is developing really important skills.

My son has been attending the nursery since January 2023 and we loved every minute of it. We don't have any family in London and feel very safe and comfortable knowing our son is in good hands and having great fun while we are at work. Thank you

Our son joined baby room in February and has settled like a dream. The team are fun, attentive and show genuine affection for our son. Our eldest also attended the nursery and the team regularly engage with him upon his return from "big school". Updates via the app are punctual and informative and the
nursery is flexible and accommodating of the challenges of parenting and working full time. I genuinely cannot recommend this nursery setting enough.

One of the best decisions we ever made for our little one is to enrol him at Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool. All the staff here are lovely, dedicated and patient and they do their best to create a fun, learning environment for the kids. My little one has certainly shown development

We are overwhelmingly pleased with our overall experience. Every member of the staff demonstrates an exceptional level of friendliness and professionalism, contributing to the positive atmosphere of the nursery. Our daughter's joy in attending the nursery is evident, which is a testament to the nurturing
environment provided. However, we do have a minor suggestion for improvement regarding the breakfast options. Expanding the selection slightly would add an extra layer of satisfaction to our overall experience.

Review from Jennifer G (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at this nursery are extremely warm and welcoming, especially to the child. After a very short time, my very clingy child settled into the allocated room and built up a rapport with certain members of staff. They adapt their care for each child and go above and beyond to make the child happy.
Upon collecting my child I get a very comprehensive update on her day.
My only complaint would be the app is often not updated regularly and I have been told different things than what is recorded on the app.

My daughter has grown so much in confidence since she started at Bright Horizons. The staff are all fantastic, she’s gone from not sleeping, drinking or eating, crying at drop off, to happily toddling off waving bye, mostly sleeping well, eating much better than at home and drinking water and milk!
They’re very accommodating of dietary requirements and have really gone above and beyond. Updates are mostly frequent on the app, and there’s good continuity in the staff as we more often than not drop her off with the same person which has definitely helped with her confidence.

The team at Bright Horizons Beckenham are incredible. Every day my child comes home smiling and completely exhausted from the many fun, creative and learning activities. My child has made so many new friends and feels safe and happy whenever I drop her off. The staff are warm and welcoming and have
created an amazing space for all the children to come and learn and play.

Review from Kerrie C (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My twins had been attended another nursery setting since they were 9 months old, however due to a house move and planning for primary school applications, we moved them to Bright Horizons Beckenham at the start of this year and it was a brilliant decision.
I presumed the transition would be difficult,
but I couldn’t have been more wrong! All the preschool team were (and still are!) incredible in initially welcoming my girls to the room and introducing them to the nursery routine.
Both come home talking about what activities they’ve taken part in, what they’ve learnt, who they’ve played with, what they’ve eaten and how fun their days have been. They have progressed leaps and bounds in only the 6 months they have been at Bright Horizons.
I would highly recommend the nursery!

I am delighted with the standard of care at this nursery. My daughter is in the toddler room and I have seen how her personality and skills have been developed since she started here in March 2023. The staff are caring and honest and communicative, always friendly and great with the children. My daughter's
eating has also improved as she has tried new food here. The outdoor space is large and well-equipped and indoors the staff always set up fun activities for the kids to help their development. Highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Beckenham 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.828 for Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.828
  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 Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 17 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
