Review from Shamina A (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I chose this nursery based on the high quality of the facilities and friendliness of the staff, the location is also very convenient.
My daughter settled in quickly in the Rising 3s room. The staff are very warm and great with the kids. Her key worker, in particular, is very caring and I'm happy to
leave my child with her.
My daughter loves the bilingual beats singing and the sand kitchen outside. She's always happy when I pick her up.
I like that I get a rundown of how much she has eaten and slept during the day.
The flexibility of this nursery is helpful and now there's a loyalty scheme with free sessions.
I'm impressed they are visiting primary schools in the area so the children are being prepared.
Overall, I'm very happy to recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has been at Clapham Village Nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now 3. This is an excellent nursery that has nurtured her to be sociable, an extrovert, fantastic development and skills. As for the facilities - they are excellent with amazing learning tools. Staff are always friendly
and go all out to make the experience less stressful and always there to help. 5-star nursery.

Review from T C (Mother of Child) published on 9 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son went to a previous nursery and he didn't enjoy it. I originally picked Clapham Village Nursery before it was open in 2014 and I'm glad I did! They look after him very well, and he has settled in great. He is more social and implements what he has learnt there at home. The staff are attentive
and gives me feedback on his progress. Only negative I would say is the need for more staff in the rooms. Overall the facilities are great, lots of different activities and toys to keep the kids active. When I collect my son he's still content and shows he has had fun. I'm just happy that he is also happy there and I am glad I went back to my first choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to this nursery for over a year. The staff and management are very friendly and easy to approach. The teaching techniques are absolutely amazing. The staff are very dedicated and hardworking. In addition, they keep parents updated as to what or how they are working on improving
the child's skill etc


I strongly believe if the nursery get more staff it will add to their strength. Overall I am very happy with my daughter's progress.

Review from Marsha R (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have been attending Clapham Village Nursery for a year now and they love being there. The staff are warm and friendly and it feels very family oriented. The staff regularly give updates on activities at the nursery, as well as sending out tips for learning and progression at home. My children
have greatly increased their language, knowledge and creativity skills through a variety of songs, tactile learning, arts and crafts and learning other languages.
The outdoor facilities are great considering it is in London and the creation station, dance studio and cooking areas are great quality.
Staff are very good at communicating development and development needs of the children to the parents.
The meals cooked on site are good quality and cover an array of food choices.

Review from Rachel L (Mother of Child) published on 27 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My review is based upon my experience of my son joining the nursery and starting in the Younger Babies room at 12 months old. From day one, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming and caring. The settling in process was well planned with careful consideration given to how both my son and us as his
parents would feel leaving him for the first time.


At drop offs and pick ups, I feel confident and able to speak to any of the staff about my son as it is evident they are looking out for all of the children in the room. The nursery is very well equipped with everything the children need to enjoy their day and for the staff to do their job. The children's days are filled with fun activities and healthy meals. I would highly recommend this nursery based on the care my son has received in a clean, bright and healthy environment.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.490)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.490) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Clapham 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 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 4.906 for Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.906
  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 4.584 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 16 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 137 number of registered child places is 27.4. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 27.4 = 0.584
  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.
