Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool

Staff is generally nice, understanding. Some are impressive and dedicated to children. Try to accommodate requests.

There was a very large number of children in each room and not enough staff when it came to staff paying attention to children. My son came for a stay and play session today for one hour. His session finished right at the time all the other children take lunch. However, staff in the room welcomed him to have lunch with all the other children. They washed his hands, prepared a plate for him with food, sat him down at the table with the other children and just when they were about to serve his food, a supervisor came in the room to say that his stay and play session was finished, so he cannot have lunch and he must leave. The staff in the room were just as surprised. It was heartbreaking. I had to take him away from the other children and ask him to leave because they will eat and he can't. As soon as we got to the buggy he started crying for food. I have never had such a horrific experience when visiting a nursery. I have visited plenty of nurseries and my son was never asked to leave. Shameful!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Excellent attention to the children, great staff, nurses and teachers. I am extremely satisfied with Clapham Nursery. My daughter had great memories and she is a very well accomplished 4 year old under their care.

My little boy is nine months now, starts crawling around. I am concerned about the cleanliness in the baby room because I saw his trousers and socks are very dirty when I pick him up in the evening. It seems he is mopping the floor by crawling around. I can’t imagine how much dust could go into his mouth when he bites his fingers.

Our child is thriving here and I send him to nursery each day not only knowing that he is safe but that he is happy.

We have been very happy with this nursery. The activities for the kids are very varied and most of the staff are excellent. The new manager has made lots of changes for the better and whenever I have had any concerns these have been taken seriously and addressed. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends.

Clapham Day Nursery is a friendly and welcoming place. The carers in my child's room know my child and give me informative feedback.

My darling daughter started at the nursery when they first opened. I have looked at other nurseries around the area and we chose Clapham Village. The staff were always helpful and the children have a good rapport with them. My darling daughter always comes home happy after spending the whole day with her teachers and friends. I have recommended Clapham Village to our friends and neighbours and happy that they too have considered sending their little ones.

My son started the nursery earlier in the year and I felt extremely comfortable leaving him right from the start. Which was very important to me as he is my first and I was very anxious about leaving him to return to work. I looked around quite a few nurseries before choosing this one and it was the only one which I immediately took a liking to! The staff are always consistently friendly and helpful! The nursery has a genuine warm and friendly feel throughout.

I was worried about the transition and change of nursery for the children, but the team at Bright Horizons Clapham have been truly wonderful.

My 15-month-old active Son really enjoys going to Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery. He climatised gradually, gently building up to 2 full days and up to 2 half days a week. He has built great relationships with many of the workers, particularly his key workers. It really makes a difference that everyone knows his name and have a good sense of who he is. He is a very active, busy boy and always comes home worn out and happy from a day at nursery. He has lots of little friends that he plays with and I'm impressed with how well all the key workers in his room know all the children they work with. They are gentle but firm with lots of varied activities and my Son's confidence keeps developing under their watchful, nurturing eye. I'm very happy with the flexibility, care and communication from nursery. Thanks, Bright Horizons Clapham!

Staff are super flexible and accommodating to family needs. I highly recommend to family and friends.

It's a wonderful nursery, and although it is expensive it is worth it in our opinion.

Daily updates are detailed and thorough. The array of activities are varied and educational and both kids look forward to going. My kids have also become much better eaters as the food is fab!

Great space and very affectionate teachers. I think they stimulate the kids really well. Also really convenient timings. Staff turnover could improve.

Our son, 2.5 years old, has been at Clapham Village for over a year and moving him from a smaller nursery has proven to be a fantastic decision. The facilities and range of activities are excellent and he enters each morning keen to see the staff and his friends. It's made it much less stressful as working parents to have a happy child enter and leave nursery each day. Would highly recommend.

Overall a lovely nursery and wonderful staff. I feel very comfortable leaving my son at Bright Horizons knowing he will be well looked after.

Management is fantastic and has always responded to any queries very promptly.

I am very glad I chose Bright Horizons for my son.

Thank you and keep up the good work!

My youngest is in the baby room and she really loves being here because she has such a strong bond with her key worker. The head leader of the baby room has set the room up to be a perfect environment for babies to develop in. The leader of the baby room shows great passion and love for all the children in the room and has cared for both my children from before they could even walk. We love this nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent!

I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.
