I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All the nursery staff have been absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond with help and support. My little one absolutely loves her time there and always comes home happy. They are always organising different fun activities and tasks for the children to
take part in. They have great facilities at this nursery. Overall I am very happy and impressed with Bright Horizons.

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.

The staff in Toddler's room helped my child settle in really well. They took the time to get to know him and patiently ensured that he enjoyed his time there. It was a relief for us to see how well he settled and to see him engage in activities that expand his curiosity and creativity.

My first child went to Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery when she was 1 year old. She’s been very happy and enjoyed it there and now she graduated the nursery this year to go to school. My second child is in the baby room and she is also very happy. The staff are very nice and professional to look
after kids. There are special bonding between staff and kids so we are very comfortable to send to nursery.

Our 2 year old son joined Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool
in June 2023 and we’ve been delighted with the care he’s received. We moved to the area and had to switch him from his previous nursery which he loved, so we were really nervous. But from the first day the staff were all
really caring and he settled in extremely quickly and loves it here! I’ve been really impressed with how much care and attention the staff provide the children and he’s gone from strength to strength since joining. You really feel part of the family at Bright Horizons Beckenham.

The nursery and staff provide a welcoming and fun environment. The children are always doing interesting and different activities, exploring different senses, both indoors and outdoors, such as baking, water play, gardening and seasonal activities, such as teaching them about different leaves, etc.
The nursery provides a good food menu and introduces my son to lots of different flavours.
The updates provided on the app are good, and they have been very supportive with potty training and nap transitions. I am very happy with the nursery and believe my son has a fun, enjoyable and safe time there.

Words are hard to come by to describe how wonderful the staff are. The care and attention they've paid to my child have been simply amazing. It's clear to see how happy he is here every day I come to pick him up. The staff have been incredible in helping him in his development, and he has grown more
confident. We can't thank the staff enough. Also, the chef and the meals are second to none!

The nursery is the ideal setting for children to explore, learn and show/embrace their creativity. Parents are kept up to date on a daily basis using the app, where you can read about your child's day and see their beautiful pictures. The staff encourage my child's imagination and inquisitive nature,
which is so refreshing and positive. My son previously attended a different Bright Horizons, but my and his experience at Beckenham do not compare. Amazing staff that respect all children's individuality.

My little boy is so happy at Bright Horizons. The staff are incredible - so caring and attentive. He loves them and is always so excited when he arrives at nursery.
The activities are varied and well-planned and I love seeing pictures of what he’s been up to. Attending Bright Horizons has clearly and
quickly progressed his cognitive and social skills.
His eating has also improved and the diet that Bright Horizons provides seems healthy with lots of different options.
Seeing my son so happy at nursery has made my transition back to work so much easier as I know he is in good hands. Thank you so much to all the staff at Bright Horizons, Elmers End.

We couldn't be happier with Bright Horizons, Beckenham. The staff are friendly and caring and my child has built great relationships with both her carers and her peers. The food is well-planned and the activities are fun for the children as well as educational.

The staff at Bright Horizons are excellent. My two daughters go to this nursery and they started from a very young age. My daughters love going there and feel very happy. This is very important to me because I was very concerned about their adaptation, as English is not the main language used in our
house and in our daily lives, so I was always afraid that they would have difficulty adapting, but the employees always had a lot of attention and patience in helping us and making them feel good, plus they have a large, well-appointed garden space and they take the kids there often and my daughters love it. I recommend it to everyone, without a doubt.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.802)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.802) 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.827 for Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.827
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 19 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.
