Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Asquith Nursery in Kingston has provided wonderful childcare for both my children over the last 5 years. The staff are caring, friendly, and experienced. Asquith Nursery is a relaxed and happy place, where we are always greeted with a smile. The nursery is well managed and I have always felt happy
to leave my children with the team of experienced and dependable staff.
The outdoor play area is lovely and the children spend a lot of time outside. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone, your child will be well looked after there.

My eldest went to Asquith Kingston day nursery, my youngest is still enroled there. Both thrived, the staff is friendly and what I really appreciate is that I saw the same welcoming and warm people for the last 5 years. They always had a nursery teacher and kids are prepared, confident and ready to
start school.

Staff really great and caring, ensuring that all children are encouraged to develop at their own rate but a good overall structure and varied activities for each day. My son really enjoys going to this nursery and he has learnt more things at 3 and a half than I had done by 4 and half! The staff really
do make this place, the facilities and venue are great but the staff are really great.

Our daughter loves her time at the nursery (she attends part-time) and has developed strongly whilst at the nursery. As with lots of nurseries in Kingston sometimes struggles to retain staff but seems to put the effort into this and staff seem happy and many are long-standing.

Kingston day Nursery is a wonderful Nursery with a great team. All 3 of my children started at 10 months all the way through to preschool. What’s great is that some of the team that looked after my eldest now look after my youngest. Asquith has set them up perfectly for reception in terms of approach
and desire to learn and social skills. Great nursery and a great team.

Review from Timea R (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We joined the nursery when it was still on Lower King's road. The care and attention children received were outstanding. Now that the little one is in pre-school, I'm amazed how much they learn to prepare them for life and for school. Topics they learn include languages, science and even yoga. And I
have never seen our little one smiling as much as when they hatched their own eggs in pre-school, and she was holding a tiny chick. Definitely the best nursery in town.

Our two children have both been at Asquith Kingston Day Nursery since they were 7 months old and love every second. As parents, we are always confident in the care they receive and Kelly and her team support their learning and development in a nurturing environment. Room/class sizes are small and staff
are friendly. We love the new building the nursery has moved to, especially the beautiful garden.

We moved my son to Asquith Kingston after an unsettled experience at another nursery.
The manager and her team immediately filled us with confidence that the staff team was consistent and had great interactions with the children.
My son settled in straight away and we have been very happy with the
caring and professional attitude of this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been taking my grandson to Asquith since he was 10 months old. The staff are brilliant. From baby room to toddlers to pre-school the standard has always been high and the transition smooth.


Our grandson, now 3 yrs old has developed vital life skills - his communication ability is very good,

he is socially confident, he loves singing - can sing in French - counts in Spanish, plays musical instruments, knows the alphabet, days of week, months of year and telling time, and does yoga. He always looks forward to going to Asquith. The facilities are wonderful, security and care all to a very high standard. The same happy staff team have been working there all the time he has been attending Asquith which builds familiarity and comfort.
The new facilities are excellent: bright, clean, conducive to well being and learning. Finally, the Nursery Manager is excellent - any issues I’ve had she’s always resolved them in a professional and efficient manner. 100% recommend Asquith Kingston.

My daughter has been with the Asquith Kingston team since she was 6 months old. She is now almost 4 and is getting ready for big school. The staff have been amazing and have really helped her to learn and thrive. She has so many friends and has lots of stories to tell us when she gets home. Her key
person has helped her to start reading and writing and she has also been learning Spanish.

Our daughter has been attending nursery for a couple of months now and has recently turned 1.
Our experience to date has been great, from settling into regular attendance the team has been fantastic at helping both our daughter and us to adjust. Our daughter loves her days at nursery and it is clear
that she is in a supportive, happy environment when she is there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is entering her last year before joining big school and in all this time, the entire team at Asquith Kingston have been outstanding.


I mean, outstanding.


Nothing is ever too much. They are informative, with great attention to detail, caring and they have variety in their educational

programme.


My daughter always looks forward to her days at nursery and I think that speaks volumes.


We have come to know the team very well and completely trust the team which is imperative.


We viewed several nurseries before my daughter joined and had no doubt at all that Asquith Kingston was the best choice.


I could go on about how highly I rate this team and nursery but to any parent looking for a nursery for their child/ren, if you want a strong educational nursery that is fun, whilst offering you peace of mind, this is the nursery I would recommend.

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 Kingston 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 4.865 for Bright Horizons Kingston Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.865
  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 4.89 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Kingston 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.89
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Hi, I'm Lytisha the nursery manager.


I bring over 10 years of childcare experience, supporting children's development from infancy to preschool, holding a CACHE Level 3 Diploma in children and young people's workforce.


Building strong relationships with both my staff and families, I stay updated on early years through regular training courses and webinars. My passion lies in applying this knowledge to uphold high childcare standards and supporting my team.


Balancing managerial duties with hands-on interactions with children, I aim to instil a warm family atmosphere in every nursery. I actively involve families in their children's learning, continuously training my staff to provide the best early years education. Witnessing children's growth and learning at Kingston is incredibly rewarding, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating environment that fosters their full potential.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

I have been at Kingston Day Nursery for over 8 years and progressed through the nursery from Nursery nurse to Deputy manager. I have a foundation degree in Early years (level 5).


I have worked in all age groups but my speciality is under 2s as this is the age group I have worked with the most while being at the nursery. It's amazing to watch the children develop and grow throughout the nursery through a safe and stimulating environment, during my time at Kingston I have created relationships with all parents and staff.


I keep my knowledge up to date by researching current information and then embedding this into the nursery to ensure my team has sound knowledge.
