A FUN AND STIMULATING NURSERY IN HIGHAMS PARK, LONDON
You and your child will love the spacious Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool, where every aspect, from the enriching activities to the carefully planned learning environments, is designed to support the development of your child from birth to 5 years.
In line with the Early Years curriculum, Higham Park's unique Growing Enhancements Programme focuses on reading, writing and mathematics, as well as creative skills such as gardening, art and cookery. All the activities are designed to encourage your child’s natural curiosity to learn and inspire their interests, helping to lay the foundations for future academic and creative achievements and support their transition from nursery to school.
The long-standing, dedicated staff plan each day with the help of the children, tailoring activities to their interests and listening carefully to their views. No day is ever the same with the team - from planting and watching things grow in the vegetable patch, to enjoying sensory play with foam and ice, cooking activities and even yoga!
The team love encouraging the children to explore and the large garden gives them room to learn, play and develop their love of the outdoors. With a useful undercover area, they have access to the outdoors at all times and in all weathers.
Onsite parking is available for drop-offs and pick-ups and they are situated close to Highams Park station, with links into central London. The teams efforts to deliver exceptional care and education have been recognised by Ofsted, who have rated the nursery Good in their latest inspection.

We have been so pleased with how well our daughter has settled into the bigger preschool room after moving up from toddlers and our son into baby room. Our daugther is so excited to go to nursery in the mornings, which is lovely to see and comes home full of stories about all the activities she has...
I am so happy to see her growing in confidence and independance.
I am also so grateful to the staff in baby room for helping our son into baby room. They are so proactive and welcomed our input to help. They provide lots of feedback on his day too which is so reassuring.
Thank you to all the staff for making them feel so happy, settled and supported!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased both your children are happy, settled and thriving, and that you feel supported by the team.

The staff are the real stars: caring, patient and clearly passionate about what they do. They know every child as an individual, and it shows in how confident and happy our daughter has become. Pick-up chats and regular updates mean we always feel involved.
The setting is bright, clean and full of engaging activities, with a lovely balance of play, learning and outdoor time. Our daughter runs in with a smile, which says it all.
Thank you to the whole team. We'd recommend the nursery to any family without hesitation
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's wonderful to hear how happy and confident your daughter has become, and knowing she runs into nursery with a smile each day means so much to the whole team. We really appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Lovely preschool with fantastic activities for the children. The staff are really warm, friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a happy and engaging environment. There's always plenty going on to keep the children interested and learning. Such a lovely setting and a great team. Especially Dee and Danny.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear your child enjoys the fantastic activities and welcoming environment at our preschool. It's wonderful to know our team has made such a positive impression, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with the staff. We truly appreciate your support and recommendation.

Overall we're very happy with BH and have experienced the care and support across all ages and all rooms. Staff is always very friendly, attentive, caring and helpful. The preschool room is brilliant and the whole nursery has recently undergone an upgrade in terms of facilities. Activities are fun and a lot of creativity goes into developing and varying them up. Unfortunately the outside space isn't big and I realise that my kid now needs more space for running around and being physical active - it's not that can be changed and it would therefore be great to see more trips to the park etc
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear your child has enjoyed their time with us and that you've experienced such caring support across all rooms. It's wonderful to know you value our activities and recent improvements, and we appreciate your suggestion regarding outdoor experiences. We wish your family all the very best for the future.

Both my children have attended Highams Park Bright Horizons, with the youngest just graduating. He has thrived during his time in pre school, and benefited from a nurturing, caring and committed staff group who offered fantastic learning opportunities and activities that really developed and encouraged his interests. It was evident that the staff really got to know my son and formed strong, supportive and nurturing bonds with him. He was so happy there, he didn't want to leave at the end of the day!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that both of your children enjoyed their time with us and that your son thrived during his preschool years. It's lovely to know our nurturing team helped support his interests, development and confidence, while building such strong bonds with him. Thank you for trusting us with your family's early years journey.
In terms of downsides, BH is a...
In terms of downsides, BH is a little limited in terms of outside space and some promised outings to local woodland and park have never materialised due to staff shortages. But these are minor quibbles. For me, the utmost important thing is they put a smile on my daughter's face every single day.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear your daughter enjoys her time with us and has built such strong relationships with both our team and her friends. We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to know that seeing her happy and smiling each day gives you confidence in the care and support we provide.

Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and genuinely caring, and it's clear how much they enjoy what they do. The team has been brilliant at keeping us updated on our daughter's progress and making us feel confident that she's in the best hands.
Seeing how excited she is to go in each morning says it all. We would highly recommend Bright Horizons to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing and professional nursery. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how happy your daughter is and that she has settled in so well with us. Knowing you feel confident in our care means so much to the team. Thank you for your recommendation and kind words.

They have invested a lot in the garden space and there is AC in all the rooms so it is a lovely environment for the children.
The app too is helpful as we can keep on track with what the kids are up to.

I have two children at Bright Horizons, and the care provided by the team has been exceptional. The staff are incredibly caring, supportive and encouraging, and they have built wonderful relationships with both of my children and also us as parents. My children enjoy going to nursery and have...
The learning activities are excellent and have helped my children develop their understanding of the world, build confidence and grow in independence. As a parent, I have also received valuable advice and support from the team, including guidance around medical matters, which has been incredibly helpful and reassuring.
I would absolutely recommend Bright Horizons to other families. The dedication, warmth and professionalism of the staff make it a fantastic environment for children to learn and thrive.

We had seen employees outside smoking, I had even seen one employee take a child alone, to the bathroom, despite being told no child would ever be left alone one on one.
When my daughter had a bump to their head, they had no idea what happened as they hadn't seen it.
After the horrific incident that occured at their sister branch, we naturally had some questions regarding the safe guarding of Highams Park branch.
The manager called us back and said given it was only one employee out of thousands, they were doing well.
Out daughter only attended twice a week, for a matter of house, but we pulled our daughter out that day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that you left the nursery in December 2025 and we are very sorry to hear that you left feeling concerned. We understand how important it is for families to feel fully reassured about their child's care.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that you left the nursery in December 2025 and we are very sorry to hear that you left feeling concerned. We understand how important it is for families to feel fully reassured about their child's care.
We supported a number of families following recent media coverage, offering reassurance through our safeguarding procedures, including sharing our positive Ofsted compliance visit and outlining the robust practices we follow each day.
Safeguarding is always our highest priority. We operate a strict lone working policy, meaning staff are not alone with children, and all incidents are carefully recorded and communicated. We also maintain clear policies regarding staff conduct outside the nursery.
We are truly sorry that your experience did not reflect these standards and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you and your family all the very best.

Both my children have attended Bright Horizons in Highams Park since the age of two. My eldest is now 8 and the youngest is 4 and in the pre-school room. Both children have thrived at the nursery, learned lots, built confidence and made excellent friends. The staff are kind and engaged and build strong relationships with all the children and their families. We have had nothing but positive things to say about the nursery and will be sad when the time comes for our youngest to leave in September.

The outdoor play space is excellent and the children often play out for a lot of the day which is great to be outside. There's mud kitchens and other toys.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery - it is a very nurturing environment and my son has made great connections with the staff and children.
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear how much your son enjoys his time in the toddler room and outdoor spaces, and that you feel so happy with the nurturing environment and care from the team.
Third child currently in toddler room, our older two having graduated in the last three and a half years. Can't fault anything, all have had/are having a great experience and the nursery has set them up really well for the transition to reception.

Our toddler loves going to his Bright Horizons Highams Park Nursery and Preschool because the staff are so friendly and caring and they do lots of fun and creative activities. The nursery has excellent and thorough management. The waiting time to get a place was two and a half years but it was worth it. The outside play area is slightly on the smaller side but it doesn't seem to bother the kids at all.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your toddler loves attending Bright Horizons Highams Park Nursery and Preschool. Thank you for your feedback on the outdoor play area; we're committed to providing a fantastic experience for all our children.

They provide excellent care for our son but also offer emotional support for our entire family.
Their commitment to maintaining open communication, keeping us informed about our son's day-to-day activities, and being readily available to address any concerns or provide updates were invaluable to us. Their genuine care and unwavering support extended beyond the walls of the nursery, making us feel like we were part of a caring and compassionate community.
I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, generosity, and genuine concern for our well-being during a challenging time in our lives. Their dedication to their profession and their genuine love for the children in their care make them true heroes in our eyes.
Your heartfelt words mean the world to us! We're deeply touched by your gratitude and appreciation for our staff. Thank you for recognising our efforts and for allowing us to be a part of your journey.
