This isn't far the best nursery we could find for our daughter. She loves attending it and the teachers and managers are always helpful and attentive, they give us continuous updates on activities and development. Couldn't be better!

Review from Cameron S (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A very well-run, happy and caring nursery. We have sent both of our children to Chantry Hall and they have been very happy there and able to meet their developmental milestones with ease. Staff across all three rooms (Baby, Toddler and Pre-School) know all the children and so the kids receive such a warm welcome every morning irrespective of who is there.

We particularly love the Montessori vibe and how warm and kind the staff are. The team all really work together, under excellent management, to make the nursery the lovely place it is. Having experienced other nurseries, not all management are great at the administrative and communication side but I can say that is not the case here and we have been very happy with the level of timely communication and openness.

There's always lots of opportunities to get involved as a parent at the various small events they organise through the year and even a Christmas play this year. It's a lovely community and we recommend it highly.

Overall Experience

Very happy with the nursery. The atmosphere is friendly, communicative and warm - all the staff know our child's name even those who are caregivers to other age groups. The sessions during the day are varied and fun, and the staff have excellent relationships with the children. Food is healthy and varied. We have never had an issue, and would recommend.

Review from Ruvina S (Mother of Child) published on 30 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Bright Horizons for over a year and a half, and I couldn't be happier with the care and education he receives. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. They have created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my son feels happy and confident.
Every day he comes home with something new he has learnt -
whether it's a song, a new word, a creative activity, or something he has discovered about the world around him. It's clear the team put a lot of thought into planning engaging and educational experiences for the children.
I've seen so much growth in my son, both socially and in his learning. He looks forward to going to nursery every morning, and that peace of mind is priceless for any parent.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Bright Horizons for the amazing work you do. We are so grateful to be part of your nursery family!

Overall Experience
Our daughter (3) has been attending Bright Horizons Chantry hall since September 24. She settled really quickly. The staff here are really engaged in making sure that children feel welcomed when they first arrive for the day. They genuinely seem to enjoy what they do and i think you can see that in how the children are at drop off and pick up.
Management are really friendly, approachable and communicate clearly.
I would definitely recommend sending you child here.

Only slight down side is the outsid space.

Review from S S (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience at Bright Horizons Chantry Hall has always been great, however, since under new management the level of care and attention paid to our child has reached beyond our expectations. The nursery is now run to an excellent standard, in an efficient manner and with an abundance of love. There have been both small and big changes made since under new management, all of which have had a hugely positive impact on my child and their happiness at the nursery. From improvements to the garden, and the use of the pre-school area to personalised book bags for home reading and nature projects. All of the staff are always so attentive to all the children even if they are based in a different room and are not their key workers. It really does feel like a family. Also a huge shout out to the chef for preparing such delicious food which always gets gobbled up by my little one! Thank you everyone for making my child feel safe and loved, and in particular to management for bringing it together!

Reply from Amanda Barlow, Campaigns & Digital Marketing Executive at Bright Horizons Chantry Hall Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that the recent changes under new management have exceeded your expectations and positively impacted your child's experience. It's wonderful to know that the improvements, from the garden to personalised book bags, have made a difference. Thank you.

Chantry Hall. The new management are professional and the carers are fantastic which makes drop-offs easy when he is so pleased to see them. The app is also good for keeping us informed.

Review from A C (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Bright Horizons Chantry Hall Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 9 months old. Chantry Hall was our obvious choice for him, even though we have multiple nursery options in Muswell Hill, as we had been so happy with the care our older child received from 2020-2022. The staff are so kind and loving and our son has really thrived under their care. He runs in happily each morning and enjoys all the planned activities - water play, art - as well as the free-flow Montessori-inspired play areas. I thoroughly recommend Chantry Hall to any parent looking for a safe, reliable and loving nursery for their children.

Our kids have been going to this nursery for eight months, and they really enjoy it. The staff are dedicated and work very hard, and my kids love them. The facilities are extensive, and there is a fair amount of outdoor space. A new manager is in place and is making lots of improvements.

Overall Experience

Chantry Hall Nursery is the perfect place for our son. He loves the classroom, the garden, the teachers, his little friends, the activities and the lunches. The full team is always here for the parents when we have questions or observations. The teachers have very creative ways to teach children social skills, adapt to every child's level, encourage them and the activities are varied and different, every single day. Updates are sent throughout the day with our child's schedule and we have a full detailed report on our child's progression. Couldn't be happier for our son's first steps for school. Thank you for everything you do.

Review from Marissa W (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot speak more highly of the team at Chantry Hall nursery! My son has just left to start school and over the past 2 years that we've been attending, he has thrived in this setting. He wishes he could stay at the nursery forever and has formed such strong relationships with the staff and made lots of great friends. As a parent it is all you can hope for - dropping off your child each day with them running in the door excited and picking them up and them telling you what a great day they had. The staff are very attuned and attentive to each child's needs, and encourage and develop their interests. They are also highly responsive to parent feedback. In one instance when my son had a period of feeling like he couldn't express how he was feeling, they developed some specific sessions to encourage the kids to identify and talk about their emotions. They use the garden as much as possible which is great, the food is always varied and healthy, and they run diverse extra classes like yoga!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Chantry Hall since she was 5 months. She has recently moved into the toddler room and I cannot thank all the staff enough for all the hard work and dedication which they have shown towards my child and other children. The communication from management has always been exceptional. A very warm and humble management team. My daughter has since learnt so much and is coming home every day with new words and play. I would 100% recommend this nursery to all parents.

Overall Experience

My little boy has settled in so well to Chantry Hall, thanks to the kindness, patience and dedication of the lovely staff. Because of the pandemic he had only ever really been with me and found it difficult to be apart from me. His kind key workers showed him such generosity and care as he found his way. He has learned so much, become so much more independent, made friends and his language has come on enormously. He is given such lovely opportunities for learning and play and feels safe, loved and valued. I would absolutely recommend Chantry to any parent.
