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.

The team at Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool are amazing - caring, loving and creative. We have been so impressed by how they have looked after our daughter, especially in supporting us to prepare her becoming a big sister. The activities they put on for the children are really varied
and we have seen big leaps in the speech and confidence of our daughter.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been so happy with our decision to use Bright Horizons, Beckenham. Our daughter started at 12 months old and has recently started primary school. I truly believe that her time at nursery helped her transition really smoothly into school life. Our son is now in the toddler room at Bright Horizons
and is thriving! I think the thing that stands out the most, is the relationship all the staff have with the children. They really get to know them and our children have fallen in love with a few of their key workers. The management team are extremely knowledgeable, professional and approachable. I know once I drop my son off, that he is in the best hands and it has become a home from home for him. He is kept active with interesting activities, loves the huge garden and all the toys available there and he loves the meals he gets whilst there. I can confidently say that it provides a loving, nurturing environment and it is a pleasure to have sent our children there!

The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. The environment is clean and friendly with lots of outdoor space to play in. The children use the outdoor space very frequently, no matter the weather. My child loves it there and loves the chef's cooking, always asking for seconds and thirds! Been there
for over two years now and feel like no other provision can compare! Thank you to all the staff at Beckenham Day Nursery.

Our boy started as a baby in a different nursery and after a year we decided to move nurseries as it wasn't going great. Not an easy decision as he had his friends and habits, but we are so happy we moved him to Bright Horizons. He's now been there for ten months and the staff have all been amazing
from day one. They are all kind and experienced and I feel in complete peace leaving my kid with them. They always do fun activities, indoors and outdoors. I love their garden space. The nursery staff in the office (manager, etc) as well as the cook, are all nice too. The turnover is incredibly low, there hasn't been any staff departure since we joined. We're also very happy with communication. They use an app that actually works and we check it daily. We see pics very regularly too. Our boy, now in preschool, is always in a great mood when we pick him up. His carers have also been amazing at advising us and supporting his transition to pants. Highly recommended, with all our thanks.

From the first moment visiting this nursery, myself and my child, felt welcomed. The staff are friendly and informative. With the support from the staff, my child is safe and happy. They have also been consistent with supporting my child with eating and forming friendships. There is a wide range of
activities to help support and develop each child and their needs. My child is always eager to go back to nursery, even after pick up and at weekends. Her confidence and speech has grown so much since attending and I can't wait to see her progress, more.

We have recently moved our little one to Bright Horizons, Beckenham, since we moved areas. We were so worried about the move and how our daughter would make the change. She was in toddler room when we moved and I have to say between the manager and deputy manager's support, we truly didn't feel any
issues. Our daughter settled very well and the team was so welcoming and caring, supporting her through the transition. The one-to-one approach and interest that the team takes and build with every child, is incredible and our daughter really feels super happy going there. Everyone is always ready to help and definitely always open to share their own experiences. They have also been supportive with the fact that our daughter is growing and working with our little one to help her through this phase. Really appreciate everything you are doing for us and wishing the whole team, the best. What you are doing with all those kids, is an incredible job.

I feel so lucky that we chose to send my daughter to this nursery. She started at 12-months and is now in the pre-school. It’s been like a home from home and the staff are exceptional. We have the same core team there as from the very beginning which is so unusual in this industry and they are all smart,
kind and caring. They provide creativity in the learning and my daughter absolutely loves her days with her friends and carers. Thanks so much and especially to four members of staff.

The staff at Bright Horizons are great and our daughter clearly enjoys her time there. They are well equipped with outdoor as well as indoor equipment and activities, as well as messy, creative and group activities. The staff are always helpful if we have any questions and the app allows us to easily
communicate with the nursery as well as provides up to date info on how her day is going (activities, eating, nappy changes and naps etc). Highly recommended.

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.
