Review from Sara L (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery with great staff. We are all very happy with the nursery!
My son has been in the baby room and toddlers room. We were happy with both rooms although at the beginning, in the baby room, we felt we had to say the same things more than once i.e. allergies. Nevertheless, overall our experience
has been very good.
The only thing I would suggest would be to reduce the number of biscuits/ crackers and substitute with fruit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves the nursery. The staff really know the kids and care for them. The facilities are fantastic and calm, yet they allow for plenty of opportunities for the kids to learn and explore. All the staff, from the cook to the key persons and manager are very friendly and loving and always ready
to help. I recommend Crouch End Nursery and Preschool to all my friends!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Bright Horizon Nursery Team in Crouch Hill have been excellent with our daughter over the last 18 months. The staff have helped us develop our little girl's abilities and social skills as well as taking care of her throughout potty training, sickness and diet changes.


They have a great space

both inside and out and the extra classes like Spanish and Amelia Boo are really terrific.


The management team are flexible and responsive and you can see why there is a waiting list for entry.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has blossomed since joining Bright Horizons in Crouch End. She has built some strong friendships and does all sorts of fun, messy and stimulating things which I wouldn't dream of doing with her. I am extremely happy with the standard of care, the facilities and the activities which she
does. A great nursery with excellent staff.

Review from Vanessa (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is excellent. We spent a lot of time looking at nurseries and this is by far the best. Our daughter is extremely happy there and is learning so much. We could not feel more comfortable leaving her with anyone outside of the family than we do when we drop her off here. Admittedly, some staff
are less experienced and less confident when dealing with parents, but the more senior staff are excellent. Our daughter has developed great relationships with staff there. They have been very good at implementing our child's specific needs.

Review from Ayla u (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic. I simple love this nursery, both my boys attend and they really enjoy their time here. The staff are very friendly and likable, the setting is well thought out with plenty of space and a wonderfully big garden (this is what sold it to us, there are not many nurseries in London that have such
great outdoor space and use it). The educational set up at Bright Horizons is really well structured, a good balance of fun, practical hands experience along with more academic style learning and excellent facilities. This is also supported with great extra activities such as Spanish and tennis sessions which go down really well with my eldest. Communication is crucial for me and here it is exceptionally good with concise weekly memos from senior level through to each child's daily updates and keyworker/mentor stage development reports , I always know what is happening within the nursery and with each of my children. Mealtimes are another important issue and it's well catered for with plenty of choice and variety.

Crouch end nursery is a safe, welcoming, nurturing and fun environment that supports all.

I am very happy with Bright Horizons nursery, My daughter is very happy and I feel she gets the right balance of learning/care and discipline from the staff. I like the daily updates at the end of the day and also found her 6 month review really interesting and made me aware of the stages of teaching.
The communication between parent and nursery are great. Plus the nursery and facilities are way above average!

My son has been at Crouch End Nursery and Preschool for one year and absolutely loves it. The staff are really good and friendly and have formed a good bond with him. There is the right degree of mixing technology with messy play/outdoor fun/creative staff and learning. We were one of the first to sign
up to the nursery on the basis of their staff/food offering/hours of operation/security/new facilities and collected experience of the Bright Horizons organisations. We've never even remotely regretted it, even if it was the most expensive of the other 3 we looked at.

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.
