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.

I am so happy with my choice of nursery for my son. He is very happy to go and always seems to enjoy his time there. Staff are attentive, energetic and enthusiastic. I always get accurate updates as to his activities and am confident that he is well cared for when there.

Review from Isabel (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Unfortunately, in the last 12 months, we have seen a decrease in the level of care and service at the nursery. The new management do not come across as caring and seem unresponsive to parents requests. There has been a large level of turnover which seems to be associated with the new management. When
moving to preschool at 3 years old we were told that children are expected to go to the toilet by themselves and they are not accommodating of a transition period. They also expect children to drop their naps during the day altogether. Level of hygiene seems to have gone down as when I pick up my boy he is really dirty even around his mouth which can be dangerous. Having said this his key worker is great and when she is around she definitely cares and looks after him.

Review from Sophie H (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery since 18 months when we moved to the area, and has now turned 3 and in the pre-school room. After looking at quite a few local nurseries we found Asquith Caterham to be the best in the area as it was clean, child-centric, has excellent outdoor facilities, with friendly
and approachable staff and an excellent healthy and diverse menu.
My daughter loves going to the nursery in the mornings and has made some excellent bonds with her key-workers and the other children. Since the nursery manager has started in 2014 we have also enjoyed getting books out at the 'nursery library', watching the fish in the garden, cooking in the mud kitchen and watching all of the sunflowers (planted by the children) grow throughout the summer. They are always thinking of new activities for the children to do.


My daughter also requires a specialist menu, and the staff have been excellent in ensuring that she has a healthy meal, that she doesn't miss out but that her food is safe for her to eat.

I would highly recommend this nursery and pre-school.

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.
