Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter attended this nursery and we couldn't have been happier during her time there. The staff were great and very knowledgeable. The facilities are really clean, spacious and professional.
We were so pleased to see our daughter getting involved in a wide range of activities and she would come
home and sing and say new words all the time! Lastly, the food served to the children is delicious and there's a nice variety of healthy meals, which our daughter loved. The chef is very good and creative. I would highly recommend it.

I am currently attending Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool with my second child. We were very happy with the care of our first boy so we decided to return. It's a lovely nursery with great outdoor space. The staff is friendly and caring, they plan and offer a range of activities for the children
every day. The management team is supportive and happy to help when needed. We are so pleased with the care that we decided to increase the sessions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two daughters both attended this nursery from a young age and we have been pleased from the very beginning. The staff are professional, kind and have been consistent throughout their time there. We experienced the baby room through to preschool and our daughters have developed and thrived under
their care. Communication is regular, the setting is lovely and their children's days are varied. The hours and the availability through term time, is a great help too and a big selling point over some other options in the area. We are sad to be leaving (only due to leaving London) and would recommend this nursery setting to any parents considering their options.

Very impressed with how the staff has welcomed my son who is just 14 months old and how they settled him in. My son comes home singing songs. A very well done to this group of staff. I will definitely recommend Bright Horizons Day Nursery and Pre School, Crouch End.

Lovely nursery, with knowledgeable and caring staff who supported my husband and I through the settling in of our 17-month-old son. The outdoor area is great and our little boy seems very happy. We are glad we chose this nursery.

My daughter has been attending preschool for the last nine months. She has speech and language issues, due to one-sided profound deafness since birth. During this time, the management and the staff have been incredibly helpful and supportive in assisting her learning and accommodating her needs. They
have shown love and understanding to my daughter and she loves the nursery. The staff have also facilitated her needs further, by requesting special educational needs and disability teachers, to come on-site to help their understanding of how to provide further support for my daughter.

We have attended our nursery for about 15 months and cannot thank the management and staff for their hard work, dedication to our child and total professionalism at all times. We had a challenging few months with a medical condition but our nursery embraced it with amazing energy and care. We are eternally
grateful to them for their active part in our child's return to full health. 10/10. You cannot improve on perfection.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children are really happy at the nursery and have attended for over three years.
The staff work hard and really care about the children, often making a huge effort to ensure their wellbeing.
I am very pleased with the wide range of healthy food available and with the various activities scheduled
every day to engage and stimulate the children.
I feel very privileged to send my children to such a well managed and organised childcare provider. It will be a sad day when my youngest child graduates.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son and then our daughter both attended the nursery and preschool from the age of 12 months to shortly before starting school and we would thoroughly recommend it. The room staff are wonderful, particularly in preschool, and our children thrived in their care. The setting is really convenient and
the lovely garden and huge sandpit are such a bonus. I would, however, echo another reviewer's comment about the inconsistency in staffing maternity leave, leavers and management, particularly in 2020. The interim/acting managers did a difficult job in a challenging situation but I wonder if they received the support they needed from more senior management. The new managers had only been in post for a few months before we left but things seemed to have been improving on that front.

Review from K A (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On the whole, we've had a mainly positive experience with our son at the nursery over the past 18 months. The staff are warm and nurturing but the turnover is quite high which is a shame and we never quite know who is in charge as the office/management staff also changes a lot. The care of the children
is great overall, but the communication, particularly surrounding closures due to potentially positive staff Covid cases, has been patchy and often quite delayed. This nursery has been closed more than any other the past few months and the tests came back negative so it has been unnecessary stress and disruption for the children and parents.

My child is currently in the preschool room and enjoys coming into nursery in the mornings.
The staff in the preschool room are lovely and attentive towards the children and activities are well planned and based on the children's interests.
The new management team are very friendly and always on
hand to help where needed.
The nursery has a large outdoor space for the children to play and explore.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son enjoys nursery. This is our main focus that he loves to go, learn and play. The staff are helpful and generally experienced with all areas of child development. We have found inconsistency in staffing maternity leave, leavers and management has created some ups and down in routine and general
direction. It's always recovered well but we do see the changes reflected in comms and occasionally behaviour change in our son. Food is good although so heavy with carbs and disappointed to see pudding still served daily.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been in this nursery for almost a year now (started at 13 months) and she is very settled and loves nursery days. Her nursery workers are caring and engage her in the many interesting activities during the day. It has been more challenging with the pandemic as we are minimising contact
at drop off and pick up, however, I always get a little verbal report on how my child’s day has been. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their child here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Crouch End 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.938 for Bright Horizons Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.938
  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 Crouch End Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 16 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
