Welcome to Bright Horizons Banstead Day Nursery and Preschool. In this vibrant and supportive environment, the team is committed to providing exceptional care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Recognising the importance of these formative years, they focus on laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and development. Conveniently located off the A217 with ample parking, within walking distance of Banstead High Street, and featuring a buggy park, the nursery is perfectly situated for both local and commuting families.

The age-specific rooms offer a stellar start to education through the Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by Early Years experts. This comprehensive and individualised approach supports each child's well-being, growth, and advancement, whether they are transitioning between rooms or preparing for school.

At the nursery the children can enjoy the spacious free-flow garden, which includes a nature trail and forest area. From playing in the mud kitchen to experimenting with sand and water, there is always a new adventure awaiting them outdoors.

As children engage in these activities, parents can stay informed via the Family app. Available to all Bright Horizons parents, this app provides updates on daily experiences and progress.

Settling-in Sessions tailored to meet individual family needs are also offered. For more information, parents are encouraged to contact the nursery manager.

Review from T N (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very caring and well-trained staff as well as management. My son has a speech and language delay with which the staff have guided me so well. I was told exactly which steps to take, when to get a referral to the Paediatrician etc. They achieved in gaining extra funding for one to one time with my son.
I can see a huge positive difference in the confidence and personal development of my child. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy goes to the nursery and loves being there - there is so much to do and the children all seem really happy. The nursery does singing and dancing classes - my little boy loves it and we even sing and dance to it at home! The girls in the room did everything to make sure I was happy and that
they had met all my boy's needs - this made going back to work so much easier than I thought! The nursery is big but very homely. The managers are always there to help and answer any questions. I highly recommend the nursery and am so happy with the care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved house, area and nursery when our son was 2 so we were worried about how he would settle. The nursery environment and staff are amazing and our son settled in just a few days. They've helped his development substantially and he is so happy there. Our newborn will be attending next year. I cannot
recommend this nursery more highly.

Really good to see other activities like bringing in the reports. Staff all really friendly and welcoming. Good to see security maintained at the entrance, especially if no pass with them. Two-way feedback is very good to discuss what we would like done. This is always done in reading, speech, potty
training. Overall really good experience.

Very in-depth and enjoyable review. Great to see how your child is progressing from a key source to them. Interesting to see all the different things they have been doing. Also very good to see how comfortable your child is around the room and the staff.

I have been extremely pleased to see my child so settled and happy in Bluebells room, he is developing more and more each week and is always tired out after a day full of fun and activities. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and the excellent standard of care my son receives. It is lovely to
see him showing signs of all he has learnt at nursery at home too.

The excellent nursery which both my son and daughter have loved attending, building friendships with their peers and nurturing relationships with their key worker. It would be good if they had more day trips (local park or library for example) highly recommend though.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.774)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Banstead 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 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 4.886 for Bright Horizons Banstead Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.886
  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 4.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Banstead Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.4 = 0.888
  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.
