Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been so pleased with the experience our daughters have at Bright Horizons Chingford. Our eldest have just left for school, and they have been fantastic in supporting her preparation for reception. Our youngest is in baby room and has settled in with the support of her key worker. Both children
have benefited greatly from the wide range of activities the staff put out for them. The staff are extremely supportive, caring, and informative. The kids also get a wide variety of different meals throughout the week, which is great for introducing them to different flavours. The office are also very supportive and helpful, with a lot of knowledge around funding. We have been delighted with the nursery!!

Our 3 year old daughter has been going to Bright Horizons since the beginning of this year and we (and more importantly - she) absolutely love it. She has moved from the younger 'Investigators' group with her small team of playmates to the pre-school classroom in September and Bright Horizons have taken
every chance to make the transition as smooth as possible. The staff are absolutely brilliant - incredibly communicative to us as parents and interested in her development, engaged and supportive of her learning. I couldn't single out a single staff member for special mention as they've all been brilliant - my husband and I are so thankful we decided on Bright Horizons Chingford.

Our daughter started at the nursery in June 2024 and the staff have been brilliant at settling her in and letting her get comfortable in her new environment. Our daughter also has a couple of allergies and the nursery has dealt with it really well and are encouraging her to eat a wide variety of foods.
We are delighted to see the progress she is making and it is so special to see her smiling, playing and having fun with the staff and other children.

Nothing puts the working parent guilt more at ease than knowing your son is safe, well looked after and happy at nursery! He loves it here and is always so excited when we tell him it's time to go to nursery. We are very grateful to the warm caring staff, who obviously do such a great job looking after
him. What a joy to be able to pick up a smiling happy child at the end of the day! Thank you, team.

Both of our children have attended Bright Horizons in Chingford, and we have found the provision and care to be exceptional. The staff are amazing at forming excellent relationships with the children and creating wonderful learning experiences on a daily basis. Moreover, the food on offer is extremely

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Bright Horizons at 11 months old. They were excellent at settling her into her routine there and kept to it, which provided structure and reassurance for our daughter. She has blossomed and really come into her own since she started there. She has since moved up to another room,
and the transition here was really smooth. Her key worker and the rest of the team, including the manager, all know her really well and know what she needs/wants even when she doesn't communicate this. They understand her brilliantly which gives us peace of mind leaving her in their care. Our youngest will be going here soon, and we feel completely at ease to do this because of the team here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started Bright Horizons Chingford Day Nursery and Preschool in February 2023, we were a little weary on how he was going to settle in at first as he can be quite shy but the staff are absolutely fantastic and helped to settle him in with ease and gave us daily updates on how he was getting on,
they provide a wide range of activities throughout the day that he absolutely loves and they have helped him to thrive in every aspect (even helped to master the potty training). He is also offered lots of different meals that he may not always eat at home and always comes home with a full tummy! It’s like a home from home and he looks forward to going in every day and comes home so excited to tell us what he has been doing. Thank you Chingford!

We have also had a wonderful experience with the nursery. The staff are absolutely brilliant- they are helpful with any questions we have and are really caring and kind towards our daughter. They do loads of activities throughout the day, they give lots of updates to the parents with photos, etc., and
the variety of meals they give is great. Our daughter loves going and we couldn’t ask for more!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Bright Horizon Chingford since Feb 2021 when he was around 9 months old he began settling. Unfortunately due to COVID policies, we have been unable to see inside the nursery since we toured it before little one was born. Last week, the nursery held an open day and it was amazing.
So clean, bright and tidy inside. My son seems to really enjoy nursery. He goes two days a week and leaves smiling each day. The staff are so lovely especially those in the baby room. They have really taken my son under their wing and I feel like they know him so well. I am a natural worrier and I tend to worry and ponder about my son most of the time I am not with him. However, the nursery now use an app where you can see exactly what your child is up to in a day! I absolutely love it and it is so reassuring. I must also mention the food is great! I would really recommend this nursery.

The nursery's complete refurbishment is great - the interior and garden are all now top-notch and just what I expect in a nursery. The Bright Horizons team are a great support - all through the lockdowns and now as we're back into the new normal. Communications are always clear and supportive - and
the new app is a great way of sharing conversation topics with my daughter about her activities during the day. All members of the team work hard to make sure we're talking about the right things, as they come up - and also offering a great insight into the inner world of the nursery (to allow a parental perspective).

My eldest daughter was at the nursery aged 9 months until school. My youngest is still there now.
I cannot speak highly enough of the team there. They are caring and smart. The children are safe, happy and learn lots. Their direct keyworkers are exceptional, and the management team there are equally
involved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old. She's now moved up through 3 different rooms and we have always found the staff in each room very thoughtful, attentive and caring. We receive detailed feedback each day, about what she was doing, eating and how she was feeling. The list of
activities children do each day is varied and interesting. The toys are of high quality, predominantly wooden, Montessori-style. Children spend time outside most days, with a different play area dedicated to different age groups. The only thing that springs to mind that could be improved is the decor - it's a bit tired and some rooms seem small/crowded. To me, it's of secondary importance compared to the other points listed above.

Our son has been attending the nursery for almost two years. He can be quite shy at times and take a while to warm up to different environments and people, but he loves his nursery class.
The classroom staff are brilliant, they are caring, thoughtful and kind.
During the pandemic, the nursery has
been very careful and also very accommodating of parent’s needs and circumstances.

The nursery not only provides a fantastic, safe and welcoming environment, but the staff are incredible. They are so lovely and caring, and you can tell they are genuinely passionate about the service they provide. They have made my child's transition to nursery wonderful, for both her and myself. She
always comes home having had lots of fun, but is always clean and looks well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Chingford 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.935 for Bright Horizons Chingford Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.935
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Chingford Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
