Bright Horizons Carshalton Day Nursery and Preschool

Overall very happy with the nursery and preschool and would happily recommend.

Our daughter has some special requirements and the nursery has been extremely diligent in meeting them. The sole improvement to be made is purely logistical and would be the addition of a later collection/closing time. Most parents work in London and it can be a struggle to get to 6pm pickup. I would happily pay up until 6:30.

The staff is excellent, all polite and are there for you when you need them. My son enjoys his time at the nursery and made good friends, he loves the food and all the activities.

We've been really happy with the nursery so far. Our son has settled in well and I feel we're kept up to date with his learning. Our son seems very happy at the nursery and is very happy to go to the staff in the morning.

I have total faith that every member of staff has my child's best interest at heart. They all show total commitment and care for the children. I feel there is a real interest in their development. If I have more children I won't hesitate to send them here!

My son joined Bright Horizons Carshalton Day Nursery and Preschool at the beginning of July into the baby room. He loves attending the nursery and happily goes to the staff members in his room who are always very welcoming and bright, even so early in the mornings. There is always such a variety of activities and toys available to them and I always hear how messy my child has got throughout the day as well as having fun. The food is outstanding and such a healthy balanced diet suitable for all children's needs!

An amazing nursery and wonderful staff.

My daughter joined the nursery aged 10 months and was immediately made to feel welcome and given the support required in the baby room. She enjoys playing with the staff and other children and has definitely developed a number of positive new skills during the last 6 months that she hasn't learnt at home. The food menu is varied, providing her with a balanced diet suitable for her age. I have no concerns about her well-being while she is at the nursery and I am always kept informed about her progress by the staff at the end of each day.

She is currently moving from the Baby room to the Discoverers room. I feel that this transition has been done at the right time and been handled appropriately in terms of the gradual exposure she has been given to the new environment.

A really professional nursery. Excellent feedback regarding child's long term and day to day development. My children are extremely happy here and love attending the nursery. They take part in lots of activities during the day and staff know them and their needs well.

My daughter has been with Bright Horizons for the past 18 months. She enjoys going to nursery & tells me all about the range of activities she has participated in throughout the day. The staff are great and have really helped to build my daughters confidence.

To be surrounded by kids her age, all experiencing growing together, and with the caring staff looking after them is just great. We speak another language at home, and her English is just excellent. She interacts great with her peers despite being an only child, and we just love the attention and help she gets in her development.

My two children love the nursery and they receive a wide range of learning through various activities.

My son has been at the nursery since June and has settled in very well. The staff are very caring, he loves his key worker and he has great fun playing with the other children. The nursery is clean and has good facilities. My son has allergies and the chef is very organised and makes something separate for him if the meals on the menu are not suitable.

Used to be a really outstanding nursery but since it has been taken over, the amount spent on resources for the children seems to have gone down, there are always staffing issues and there has not been the continuity or experience in management. However saying that, my child is usually happy there.

Great nursery. The staff are outstanding in their commitment to the happiness, wellbeing and development of the children. The daily communication keeps me well informed about the day so I can prepare adequately for our evening together (more hungry or tired than usual, etc).

The groups of children are fairly small and seem to work well in terms of allowing the children to interact and build friendships, and for the staff to have good oversight and ability to attend to and comfort each individual child. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. They are always happy to speak on the phone should you require updates (or just some comforting yourself that your child is having a good time if drop-off was a bit traumatic one day). The nursery managers are also excellent.

The few downsides all relate to the space available. All indoor activities (even the sandpit) are in one room for the smaller children. The outdoor play area is AstroTurf under a roof, and quite small just by a car park.

I cannot speak highly enough about this nursery. The care and personal support they provide to my daughter is first class. The specially created diets for the children are first class. She is not just a number here and has come along in leaps and bounds in every way since starting. All the staff are a credit to Kidsunlimited.

I have 2 children and have tried it all - childminders, au pairs, playgroups, day nurseries.....you name it. So I can claim some authority on childcare provision.

KU Carshalton ticks all the boxes. Simply put, they've thought about everything me and my child needs.

Parent communication is timely

And most importantly, my child is happy there.

Small wonder the waiting list is so long.

Love the nursery! My daughter has been so happy and enjoys each day there, especially playing in the giant sand pit in the garden.

The girls in my daughters room seem to genuinely care for her and will keep me updated with how she's been. We couldn't ask for more!
