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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Highams Park Children's Nursery and Preschool is an extremely friendly and happy place for children (and parents!) The staff are always kind, encouraging and caring to the children and always welcoming to everyone. They are very attentive and help with development at every step of the way. From supporting
me as a tearful Mum leaving my child for the first time, to getting them ready for school.


I have had two children attend the nursery and am extremely happy. The highlights particularly are the staff going the extra mile to put on summer and winter concerts. Seeing my children sit with their friends singing, smiling and taking part is just the best feeling in the world. It's down to the staff who make this experience.


Another bonus is that the nursery is open for a good stretch of the day and it's close to Highams Park station so easy for getting to work quickly.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.792) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.700 for Bright Horizons Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.7
  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 4.092 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.492
  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.
