Our child started at this nursery one and a half years ago. I have seen improvement in his speaking and other activities. Every time he came back home happy, relaxed, and nourished.
He is also more confident and independent. I had a wonderful experience with Blackheath Nursery.
I highly recommend
it to friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter enjoyed 3 fabulous years at Bright Horizons Blackheath, from the excellent senior management team who were on hand to help a stranded mum when she had a flat tyre, to the caring and loving attitude of the carers and assistants who guided our daughter through her formative years. The nursery
is a bright, happy and colourful and stimulating space and our daughter looked forward to going every day not least because she also loved the food and speaking Italian.

Since joining this nursery aged 2 1/2 over a year ago our daughter has been really happy here. She loves her key person and has built strong relationships with all the staff. It is such a friendly and supportive environment. The garden is lovely and the rooms are bright and spacious. Her development
has been brilliant and she loves building, dancing, singing and especially Italian Club. Highly recommend!

Bright Horizons Blackheath is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has been there from 2016-2019, and my twins started in July 2020. The staff are all amazing, so airy, passionate and clearly love their work. They're brilliant at settling children in and helping them to grow, learn and develop. The nursery
provides a fun, clean and safe environment for all children, nutritious food, and they are always looking at new ways to take things to the next level. The management is so diligent and flexible and works so hard with all parents to meet their requirements and provide the best possible experience at Bright Horizons Blackheath.

I’ve been so happy with the care provided at Bright Horizons Blackheath. I currently have a two-year-old son there and my oldest was there from 2-4 years old so we have experienced all the rooms! The staff are caring and amazingly creative - the environment created is both nurturing and stimulating.
He loves going in every day and I love seeing him so happy! The management is also great - friendly and always there to help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our son here in its capacity of becoming a hub nursery at the beginning of the pandemic due to our normal nursery closing. SO glad we did!! Although it was only meant to be a temporary move, we decided to keep him here permanently as we were so impressed with the care, attention and generally
great reception we had from the whole team at Blackheath. We have always found all the staff to be kind, warm, friendly and tirelessly professional. Their smiles and can-do attitude have been so welcome throughout a tough year for everyone! The updates and communication from the nursery are excellent and very much appreciated. A great nursery that we would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my boys attend this nursery and they simply love being there. The manager and her Team are absolutely lovely.
They have managed to create this unbelievable atmosphere in the nursery, warm and very much family like.
Nothing is too much trouble, and even during this difficult time (COVID19)
they always welcome us with a smile.
The manager always keeps us, parents, involved and well informed of all her future plans and current activities.
She is a beautiful person with a passion for kids and people.
My little boy is in love with, his key worker whom I would like to mention. She has a patience of an angel, even when my little boy was clinging onto her for good 6 months before he got used to being at the nursery. Thank you x
I forgot to mention the food, my boys eat 2 sometimes 3 servings of lunch or tea so it must be good.

I have two girls (3 and 1yrs) at Bright Horizons Blackheath and I will forever be indebted to the wonderful staff, carers, cooks and managers. They are truly wonderful and have been particularly amazing through the pandemic. The manager and her assistant manager are exceptional and particularly attentive
to the individual needs of the kids. They have been there since the Zoom days and have continued that spirit on post-acquisition by Bright horizons. The building is also amazing and the outside space vitally important to the wellbeing and learning for the children. Thank you, Bright Horizons Blackheath.

My child settled in extremely quickly and it’s all down to the fantastic staff. Every Wednesday (he’s only 1 day a week), he literally skips in which is a weight off our shoulders. We can’t thank the staff enough; with a special mention to my child's key worker and other staff in their daily management.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The carer had a very accurate picture of our child's development, his challenges and achievements. The report was very detailed and I felt I had the carer's full attention.


Regarding food and drink, the chef is excellent but Bright Horizon's quality of food is a bit poor and there has been a decrease

in quality from when it was another company.

Our son loves his time spent at Bright Horizons Blackheath Day Nursery and Preschool, we are seeing so many benefits from the structure of the day here and he has grown so much in his learning and his dealings with other children and adults. The staff are so friendly and attentive and we definitely
feel he is well looked after. The rooms are all structured with interesting activities and safe access to outdoor playing areas. They run a really nice food menu with lots of variation. Highly recommended, the focus here really is the children and their development.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Blackheath 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.877 for Bright Horizons Blackheath Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.877
  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 4.878 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Blackheath Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 13 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.878
  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.
