You and your child will love New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool, designed to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years. The combination of nurturing, committed staff and exciting learning activities helps your little one to reach their full potential.

The nursery’s spacious rooms are light and airy, with toddlers and preschool children enjoying free flow access to the garden. Each room features age-specific resources to pique your child’s natural curiosity, such as loose parts play, home role-play corner, a reading nook, an art station and more. The team focus on children’s wellbeing and confidence, promoting individuality. They use the children’s interests as a basis for planning new activities, with children enjoying music and movement sessions, singing, cooking, dancing and PE. Babies enjoy activities that help develop their muscles and motor skills, and sensory toys that allow them to discover new textures, sights and sounds.

To extend your child’s play and learning beyond the enriching indoor facilities, the nursery in New Southgate has a stunning outdoor space. Whether your child is feeling adventurous with their friends, or just needs some solo play time, they can do it all with the use of the garden’s soft play slopes, tricycles, building blocks, seesaw and reading nook. There’s even a sensory garden, full of new sights, textures, scents and nature discoveries.

The all-inclusive fees include all meals, snacks, nappies and wipes, giving you more time and less to pack in the mornings.

The Team would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit today and they will show you all their nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

Bright Horizons New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool is one of the best nurseries you can send your child to. The staff are amazing and they have an ability to make your child feel special and unique that other nurseries don't invest in. We have had our boy there for nearly three years and he has
really matured with their nurturing environment and support. We can not recommend the nursery enough and three members of staff, in particular, and the manager are brilliant, highly skilled teachers who know preschool education better than most.

I cannot recommend the nursery enough. They have been fantastic, right through from baby room to preschool.
Children are well looked after. Fresh food is cooked onsite and parents updated regularly on activities and observations.
They help children transition at different stages in life and really
prepare them for reception. The nursery is managed exceptionally well and if you have any queries they are responded to immediately.
A lovely setting for children, no agency staff. Children feel settled and happy. Thank you Bright Horizons!

I have 2 little girls who go to Bright Horizons New Southgate Day Nursery. The first one is 2.5 years old and is in the Toddler's room and the second one is 1 year old and is in Baby Care. I cannot describe how amazing the teachers and key persons in both rooms are. They really take care of them, they
invest time in them from learning them how to behave, to eat, to be kind and considerate of others, to being curious, painting, singing, reading and counting and exploring new stuff and activities every day to improve their skills. I feel that my daughters are in very good hands with people who care about them and know to do their jobs as best as possible. I see my daughters are both happy there and that’s a big reassurance that I made the best choice choosing this nursery for them. They keep up the excellent work they are already doing and have exceeded my expectations. Very well done to the whole team!

Our daughter started at Bright Horizons this year and we are really happy with our choice to send her there. The communication from the manager has been great from the start, if we have any queries we always get a response back quickly. Initially, there was a two-week settling-in period, with a gradual
build of hours, which was really helpful. All the staff are lovely and I can see that my daughter feels comfortable with them. The app is really good, it is so reassuring to get live updates on meals, nap times and all the fun activities she is getting involved in. I feel really confident that she’s having a good time when she’s there and I would recommend it to anyone looking.

Our little daughter has been attending the Bright Horizons New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool for over a year and she is so happy there. My little son has just joined the baby room too this year and he's having so much fun!
Daily feedback through the app is great, with regular updates. They really
care about children’s learning and development. My daughter has moved to the preschool room and the team has helped her prepare for school through creative and educational activities.
Some of the impressive achievements were teaching her to write her name, recognise numbers and the most impressive of all was her taking part in a Christmas play.
All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide them with so much care, attention and positivity. I have always found the key workers to be very communicative and the admin team are so efficient.

We love getting personal updates, photos and videos through the app capturing the fun she is having, and key milestones like first steps and new words. Great communication with baby room staff and office staff, and special to see the nursery celebrating cultural festivals. She jumps into the team's

We are so glad that we found and chose Bright Horizon New Southgate for our son! Our son's experience here has gone above and beyond our expectations, the teachers are caring, attentive and very knowledgeable and he feels very comfortable in their care. They are supportive of us as well, making an effort
to give us updates and advice. Our son enjoys and engages in a wide range of activities and different subjects, he is always keen to tell us what he has learnt about when he comes home and there is a lovely outdoor space with a range of equipment to play with. The teachers send regular updates and photos which we look forward to receiving. We are so thankful and appreciative of all of your hard work!

Fantastic, friendly and helpful team. Having insights into what has been done in the week on the app is wonderful.

To whomever may read this review, I am writing to notify anyone who may be looking for a nursery for their child or potentially an authority reviewing this nursery that it is outstanding!
My son has attended the nursery since September 2022 and I have not a single complaint. The staff are such a diverse
group which was super important to me, not to mention extremely friendly, supportive, genuine and always going the extra mile to support my child and me. Plus the menu for the children is fantastic! For my first-ever experience with a nursery, it has been nothing but a pleasure. My son's speech went from strength to strength upon starting, he has such a range of activities and experiences here and always is excited for the next day. Sometimes he doesn’t even want to leave. It is a true testament to just how brilliant this nursery is. I am continually recommending friends, so if you need a place for your child to be in a home away from home, look no further!
Thank you so much.

Our daughter is our second child at this nursery and overall, we are very happy with how she has been looked after and how she has developed. The team have literally raised her and we are so grateful for this. I could not have picked a better nursery for her to be at. We are happy with the whole team
including management. The facilities are great, the learning you offer and the most important thing is we know she is safe and happy whilst with you all. I love the fact that you have started doing trips out, as i think it is very important and she loves the little outings. She comes home and tells us all about it.
The app is the best thing ever and we love the fact we are updated and see pictures of her in action.
If we ever have a problem, then we know we can address it immediately, as the whole team is approachable. Thank you, for everything you all do, as we know it's not easy. We are grateful for all your hard work and efforts. I will miss the nursery when my daughter leaves for school.

Bright Horizons, New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool has been an excellent nursery for my child. They were very attentive to her needs and had a significant impact on her development, assisting her in gaining confidence. The staff was wonderful and they wanted to collaborate with us (parents) to
support her at home with plans and materials. My daughter formed strong bonds with all of the staff there and even now, in reception, she frequently mentions the staff and her nursery friends. Bright Horizons is a fantastic nursery that made my daughter very happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Bright Horizons New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.830 for Bright Horizons New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.83

  • b) 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 New Southgate Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
