The staff are all friendly and professional.
Both of my babies attend this nursery, they have grown confident learning through play and making new friends.
The nursery adapts to dietary needs, having a selection of different healthy foods that both of my babies enjoy.
They both settled in very well and I can see that they are both happy at the end of the day when I collect them.
It is reassuring to be replaced by a nursery that can care for my babies as I do.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear how well both of your children have settled and grown in confidence through play and friendships. It's wonderful to know you value the caring, professional team, the support for dietary needs, and that your children are happy at the end of each day. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation.
To start with, the management run a very tight ship and everything feels organised, professional, and well-structured.
My son started here at 11 months old and the experience has been incredible. The team have taught us so much, and every member of staff genuinely cares about the children. His key worker even brought him a small Christmas present because she knows how much he loves books - such a thoughtful touch.
The environment is fantastic, with plenty of outdoor space as well as well-equipped indoor areas, including a mini kitchen where the children can learn and play through cooking activities. There's also a brilliant app that staff update regularly with photos and daily updates, which is really reassuring for parents.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going to nursery - we couldn't be happier!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear how much your little one enjoys nursery and that you feel supported by the whole team. It's lovely to know the environment, activities and updates bring you reassurance. Your kind words truly mean so much to us.
My son has been with this nursery for almost two years now. As a parent, I am happy with the amount of space and variety of activities that the nursery provides. Given it has been purposely built, the layout is thought through from the safety and light perspective. My son really enjoys his time in the nursery and has built connection with his key person and the other staff in the room. He mostly enjoys water play activities, cooking lessons and yoga classes.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear how much your little one enjoys the space, activities and the strong bonds he's built with the team. It's great to know he's thriving with water play, cooking and yoga. Your kind words mean so much to us.
In Adventures room, his key worker Samantha is wonderful and the room lead Tomoya is warm and friendly. Our son has settled in brilliantly and clearly feels happy and secure. He's very energetic, and the team really embrace that, keeping him engaged and active. We've seen great progress in his speech, confidence, and ability to make friends and share.
The management team, Aimee and Chelsey, have been fantastic, always responsive, flexible, and understanding of our demanding jobs.
Returning to work after maternity leave felt seamless and reassuring thanks to their care. We're very grateful to the whole team.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear how happily your little one has settled and how supported you've felt throughout each transition. It's lovely to know you value the team's care, communication and flexibility. Your kind words truly mean so much to us.
We've been incredibly impressed throughout our little one's time at Bright Horizons Clapham and couldn't recommend it highly enough.
The staff - without exception - are very friendly, kind and professional. There's a wonderful feeling of warmth from the moment you walk into the nursery in the mornings, with all staff members knowing each of the kids' names (not just the names of those children they work with). The facilities are good and the range of activities are stimulating and engaging - our little one can't wait to arrive each day and get started! Room transitions are well planned and have always been smooth. The staff's interactions with all the children are infused with support and love, and the feedback and information provided to the parents is great too.
We're so pleased we chose Bright Horizons and are incredibly grateful for all the amazing work done by the staff there.
Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation! Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
We could not wish for a better nursery for our 2 children (1 pre-school, 1 baby). Excellent management and excellent staff in all the rooms. Facilities are great and children do range of activities. Great outdoor space. Excellent kitchen staff and focus on good nutrition for little ones.
Thank you for your 5-star review and positive feedback; we truly appreciate your kind words about the team.
The atmosphere in this nursery is fantastic, I often go along to collect my Granddaughter and the staff are so happy and friendly, the children all seem to enjoy the nursery, it's always filled with lots of lovely activities and you can see how dedicated the whole team are. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear you enjoy the atmosphere at our nursery and appreciate the dedication of our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
My son has been at Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool for three years, starting at age 1. He has excelled, in no small part, thanks to his brilliant care.
I highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your son has thrived at Bright Horizons Clapham. Thank you for your recommendation.
I could not recommend the nursery more. The staff are amazing and take brilliant care of our two boys. The nursery is always safe and clean and my boys really look forward to going every day. The food is varied and has encouraged our boys to be good eaters. The range of activities is brilliant.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback! Thank you for recommending us.
My son has been going to Bright Horizons Clapham for the past two years, and our experience has been wonderful. His days are packed with a variety of activities, and he adores his teachers who are not only incredibly kind to him but also exceptionally attentive to us as parents. At pick-up, they thoughtfully share how was his day. I also appreciate the updates provided through the app, detailing his developmental progress, the new activities he's exploring at the nursery, and the next steps.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that your son has had such a positive experience at Bright Horizons Clapham over the past two years. It's wonderful to know he enjoys the activities and has a great relationship with his teachers.
They pay as much attention to the toddlers as they do with communicating with parents. Always giving us daily updates and photos and ready for a chat and getting to know the parents. The continuous feedback has enabled us to instil the learnings and plays from nursery to home.
My busy life has been made easier with staff supporting us in developing my little one in social skills, counting skills, vocabulary, artistic expression and potty training.
The food is freshly prepared and cooked on-site. The chefs are trained to cater for allergies and made sure my little one was tended to. As a result of establishing early food variety, my little one is willing to eat most food.
Thank you!
Thank you for your glowing review of Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool! We're thrilled to hear that we continue to exceed your expectations and provide outstanding care and education for your child.
We cannot speak highly enough of Bright Horizons Clapham. Our elder daughter started at 10 months nearly 3 years ago, followed by her younger sister at the same age and they stayed until we sadly had to move away recently - so we know the place well. The facilities are incredible (mini kitchen adorable) but the people make it. Every member of staff is so kind and caring, with real attention to the girls and so polite and patient with us. Our girls have developed so much and have been so well looked after. Thank you to all of the team. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thank you immensely for your heartfelt review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are honoured to have had the opportunity to care for both of your daughters at Bright Horizons Clapham. Thank you for your recommendation.
My son has been in this nursery since October 2022, and he is really happy there, loves his teachers and friends, and feels relaxed and loved. They help him in learning different skills, and the only thing I think could be improved is more academic support (particularly in writing).
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
My son started here when he was one and has flourished. He loves it, the staff are all lovely and so engaged with the children. There are great facilities and lots of activities. It was a great choice.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words, and hearing from our parents reminds us why we do what we do.
Many nurseries in London are in repurposed period buildings, buildings which are not ideal however Bright Horizons Clapham is clean, modern and purpose-built.
I couldn't speak highly enough of the team here! Go along and meet them!
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
I've had my kids at Clapham Bright Horizon since 2019 and my youngest is starting school in September, I'm heartbroken to think I won't see the Clapham Bright Horizon team every evening in a couple of months. They've made a great impact on my kids. They acted as a partner to my family. The turnover is low. The staff are passionate and I've learned so much from all of them. I also have a lot of admiration for the management team because I know it takes great managers to retain high-quality employees.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
The nursery has an excellent environment, spacious inside and has outdoor space. The staff are all lovely and caring and the app allows us to keep in touch and view photos easily. The children do a variety of activities and my little one loves the food. The location is very convenient, next to Clapham Common station and many bus stops. It opens 7:30 am - 6:30 pm so the hours are very helpful for working parents.
We are delighted to receive your positive feedback, and we're thrilled to hear your child is settling in and thriving at our nursery.
I am pleased with the nursery overall. The staff are super attentive and my daughter is flourishing! They keep me up to date via the app on what she’s been up to throughout the day and what she’s had to eat! The management deals with any issues efficiently and quickly. Lovely nursery and preschool.
Thank you for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you're pleased with our nursery and that your daughter is flourishing in our care. Thank you for choosing us!
All our three children attend Bright Horizons Clapham and they all very much enjoy it. We appreciate the personal attention and loving environment, but also the fact that they are educated in a fun and interactive way at a young age. They are encouraged to learn, develop, make friends and become confident at a young age. We drop them off and pick them up with a smile!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that all three of your children enjoy attending Bright Horizons Clapham. Providing personal attention and a loving environment is a top priority for us, and we're delighted that your children feel nurtured and supported.
Focus on kids' development and manners is guided by a gentle yet effective approach.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has had such a positive experience with us. Thank you for entrusting us with your daughter's care and development!

Meet the Team (2)
My journey with Bright Horizons started in 2009 at our Wandsworth Common Day Nursery and Preschool. I worked alongside the team to achieve an OUTSTANDING from Ofsted and during my time at Wandsworth progressed from a Nursery Nurse to Deputy Manager and now Nursery Manager.
My passion lies in supporting our staff to provide the best possible care for the children we are fortunate enough to look after. I am excited about the next part of my Bright Horizons journey at Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool.
I have worked in childcare for 10 years with a variety of experience in nurseries and as a Nanny. Ensuring children have the best possible start in life is my main priority and I enjoy supporting the team to plan and deliver exciting learning opportunities. I have worked at Bright Horizons for 3 years and have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a Room Leader, Third in Charge and most recently a Deputy Manager.
