Bright Horizons Caterham Burntwood Lane Day Nursery and Preschool provides high-quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

The nursery itself is a beautifully refurbished, purpose-built building all on one level, split into four age groups. Each room is equipped with high quality, age-appropriate resources and the children have immediate access to a large outdoor space.

The nursery has an amazing garden that even has its own LED-lit adventure fort. There’s so much exploring to look forward to each day: an amazing climbing frame, reading dens, a cycle area and a planting area which the children help care for to learn about the world around them.

An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

The nursery also provides nutritious and delicious meals, prepared by a dedicated on-site chef.

The setting is conveniently located next to Stafford Sports Centre, close to the M25 and 15 minutes' walk from Whyteleafe rail station, with on-site parking available.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both our children have been incredibly happy and settled at nursery, through every move between rooms they have had plenty of experience in the new room which has made the transition easy.
They have learnt a lot and had experiences we wouldn't have been able to match at home.
Overall we are very happy
with the care they have received.

A fantastic nursery.
All staff are great and really care for the children.
It's always hard leaving your kids.
But seeing how much they love going to nursery makes it so much easier.
They get on very well with all their key persons and you can see in their development that their time at Asquiths
is a benefit to them.
Thanks to everyone.

We feel that our daughter was fully supported to make the transition between nursery and preschool and she seems to have settled in really well.
The staff are always very friendly and able to tell us all that our daughter has done on a particular day.
The managers, one especially is extremely efficient
and responds to any of my email enquiries promptly and substantively.
I am very pleased with the care/education this preschool provides.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so grateful to everyone at Caterham Day Nursery for giving both my daughters (3 and 7) the very best start in life; in their education, self-development, confidence and happiness.
I could not be happier with how my daughters are cared for.
My eldest daughter recalls her time at nursery very fondly
and my youngest has such a fun time at preschool.
They're happy, confident and have great friendships and memories.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The facilities are second to none, the grounds and airiness of the rooms.
The way the nursery is run is very good, management are on the case.
There are good activities for the children and staff are nurturing and caring, which is important for the young children.
(As a side, the cost is very high,
which is why I have put likely to recommend rather than extremely likely.)

Really pleased with my child's progress.
She loves attending and has built up a strong relationship with staff.
She even asks excitedly, "Am I going to pre-school today?", and gets disappointed if not going!

The staff in the nursery room are so friendly. My son loves the staff, I have had no tears at drop off, he goes running into their arms.
I am very pleased with the nursery and the staff and know my son is in safe hands when I leave him in the mornings.
I know he is happy, he loves the activities
and all the space he has both indoors and outdoors.

Overall we like the facility. My son loved it here and had a great friendship group. This wasn't our experience with our other son. He took longer to settle down and make friends. We felt sometimes he struggled here. Although, saying this, he has settled down now. The staff are good and informative
and very willing to help and listen. The only concern we have is the cost. It does somewhat tarnish the value for money aspect.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Very pleased with the overall level of care. Very afraid that standards will slip with the merger. We speak from experience. The food is ok but I am disappointed to see the same version of fish stew repeated each month, which none of the kids like. Also, pastries for tea? She comes home hungry these
days. Otherwise, fine. I would like to see more cooking with the children going on. Outside space is fabulous.

Review from Harriet (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Caterham Day Nursery in December and we have had a wholly positive experience. The staff are wonderful and look after the children as if they were their own. Our son loves going to nursery. The food provided for the little ones is excellent - made on site, and plenty of variety.
The children get plenty of opportunities to play outside and do lots of different activities throughout the day. I was mainly concerned about how our son would nap there as he has not been the best sleeper - but the staff have been willing to accommodate his needs and he naps really well there.

We moved here from another nursery and have been very happy since. Our daughter looks forward to nursery every morning and talks about it frequently. The staff are friendly and generally very welcoming with the children which is what you want for a 2-year-old. Our daughter has built a good rapport with
some of the 'teachers' and enjoys her time at nursery. The nursery has great outside facilities for play and a good open space inside.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Caterham Burntwood Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.866 for Bright Horizons Caterham Burntwood Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (300 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.866
  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 Caterham Burntwood Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 27 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
