Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool

I could not be happier with the services provided at Clapham Village, which is why it was the obvious choice for our second daughter. Returning to work after a period of maternity leave, it's nerve-racking, handing your tearful child over to a new carer, but the team here are amazing and so caring and attentive. Everything just feels ok! Such superstars, thanks so much for taking such good care of her.

Bright Horizons, Clapham are fantastic. The staff are warm, attentive and get to know each child as an individual. Management are friendly, highly approachable and I have always found them to be very accommodating. Each of my daughter's key workers have taken the time to get to know her likes and dislikes, creating a special bond between her and them. This has allowed her learning to flourish, as she feels so secure and confident at Bright Horizons, Clapham. There is a true family feel to the nursery and this is something which I really value as a parent. I have recommended the nursery to both friends and family. It’s a highly nurturing environment, where my child has flourished.

Perfect from beginning to end. Management team were very helpful, caring, no question was too much for them. The staff were welcoming, happy and ensure my son felt safe, loved and had the best time. A wide range of foods provided; offer a good alternative as he could not have cows milk. Everything was perfect; really happy with my time there.

Overall very pleased with the experience and the team looking after our child. They seem very experienced and kind/loving which is very reassuring. There are plenty of activities for kids to be entertained during the day and they all leave the nursery happy and seemingly entertained. Only areas that could benefit from improvements are managing queues/waiting in the morning; more consistently updating the app for parents (e.g. what is going on daily during the day); using less convoluted terms (food/care plans are excessively long and it is always clear when they are needed.)

Particularly during the pandemic, the nursery has been great with adapting to the new reality and minimizing the impact on children and parents. Highly recommend!

From day one our son has loved Bright Horizons and has thrived. He looks forward to nursery every day, and we look forward to hearing all about his day after! The staff have been amazing, especially with all the challenges over the last year.

In spite of ever-changing restrictions, the nursery staff have consistently provided excellent care and learning opportunities, helping to keep our child fully engaged and eager to come to see their friends and staff each day. The rules are clear, meals and activities included and I cannot fault the setting for the service they offer. I am so glad we chose Bright Horizons Clapham day Nursery and Preschool.

Thrilled with the development our son has made at Bright Horizons Clapham. He loves the nursery and charges in every morning with a smile on his face. The care and attention he gets is excellent - a range of activities, but also personal goals and development. Thank you.

Very good nursery; my kid was extremely happy going there. The staff are very nice, building is very modern and the activities are great. Very convenient opening times. Handled the Covid 19 situation very well. I would definitely recommend.

The staff are very friendly and care a lot for the kids.

Best Nursery. I feel so at ease to leave my children here, whilst I go to work. My children love attending too. I’ve never had a problem, which is how it should be. All staff are very professional and helpful, no matter the situation.

We are delighted with all aspects of Clapham Bright Horizons. Our son is very happy and we feel the staff love him nearly as much as we do. Excellent settling in period for both son and nervous mum! Wonderful activities including cornflour messy play! And plenty of garden time.

We have been so incredibly happy with Bright Horizons Clapham. Our son has been there for just under a year - he started in the Baby Room and then transitioned to the Toddler Room. He was just over 7 months when he first started at nursery, which was hard for myself and my husband. BUT, this became easier and easier as time progressed as we saw how much love, care and laughs he was given. He just flourished at nursery, and this is mainly due to the staff - a building and things mean nothing, the people make the difference. Bright Horizons Clapham became his home away from home.

We have recently moved to a new country so he is sadly no longer at Bright Horizons Clapham. Finding a new nursery has been a challenge for us as it is hard to find a nursery with a team as great as the one at Bright Horizons Clapham. We miss you all already.

Our son started at Clapham Day Nursery 2 years ago when he was 11 months old. I have been extremely pleased with the care provided by the Nursery during that time. Our son has flourished at Nursery and continues to thrive on the variety of activities provided, which keep him engaged and constantly learning.

In each room he has been able to quickly form bonds with key workers and the staff have clearly taken the time to understand him and his personality likes and dislikes in order to be able to comfort him, make him feel at ease and truly get the best out of him.

He is safe, very well looked after and happy at Nursery which is the most I could ask for as a parent.

On the rare occasion that we have had any concerns, they have always been dealt with quickly and effectively by the Nursery staff.

On a more practical note, as a working mother, the opening hours that are offered are so important. 7:30am start is vital in allowing me to keep on working.

We couldn't be happier - it's such a fun, safe, happy and exciting environment. The staff are fantastic and caring, the activities are incredible and the whole nursery is clean and safe.

My son has been attending Bright Horizons since January this year when he turned one and I returned to work. I could not be happier with how we’ve both been treated and also the pleasure my son gets from his days there.

Their settling in period goes a long way to making both mother and child feel comfortable and after the initial couple of weeks, there are now only smiles when I drop off my little boy. He even reaches out for his key worker! On the occasion that he is upset when I drop him off, their ability to distract, calm and make him laugh, means I leave his ‘classroom’ feeling good rather than wanting to cry myself...

It’s also been wonderful watching him grow and develop and I know a lot of this is down to his 3 days a week at BH. I would highly recommend.

I interviewed multiple nurseries prior to choosing Bright Horizons. It’s in a great location, I love that it’s purpose-built (and not on top of cafes like some others I visited), the garden is spacious and safe, the daily menu selection is healthy and the nursery rooms are big, bright and engaging for little ones. His carers are so nurturing and I’ve really noticed how much he prospers from the few days he does spend in the nursery.

Our son went straight into toddler 1 at 11 months old and absolutely loved it. He is now in rising 2 and is having a blast. We only use the nursery on a part-time basis but we feel that he is gaining so much confidence from being around other children and grown-ups. In each room, he has found "his" people that really make an effort to nurture him, his development and his personality. I love that the nursery is very safe, has lots of protocols for all kinds of situations and that there is a separation between the ages of the children.

The nursery is in a fabulous state of harmony. Under the stable stewardship of the manager and his management team with the accompanying high level of competent key workers and staff. The children are content, happy, engaged and cared for and the staff turnaround is low. The graduation ceremony that they recently hosted for my son's room was spectacular. They really pulled out all the stops. Thank you to the team!
