My son has been at this nursery since he was 2 years old. He is now 3 years old and still goes to Brightsparks Day Nursery.


The environment both indoors and outdoors is incredible. The staff are so helpful. They always go above and beyond and I can NOT thank them enough for contributing so positively

to my child's learning, development and happiness!

I am very happy with the staff and the level of care they give to my son. My son just turned 3 and had never been away from me for more than 1 hour, and it was difficult to depart from me every time I would leave him at nursery. But I have noticed that the staff take good care of him when I drop him.
My son didn’t want to have lunch and snacks at nursery when he first started but the staff were patient and knew how to change his mind after few sessions. He now eats all his lunch and snacks. They also have a daily report of what my child has done which is really good as we get to know what he has been up to and also a daily summary of what he ate. The staff do take the time to improve in areas where your child needs development and that is very important. Although my son still cries for the first 5 mins that I drop him he settles soon after and gets on role play with the staff. He comes home happy to tell me what he has been up to in nursery.

My son joined the nursery in May last year and literally loves it. They have great activities and the staff are lovely. The manager makes sure she works closely with the parents to ensure that we remain constantly happy.


Cleanliness: Good
Learning: Good


Pros: New nursery, the staff pay attention

to every child
Online website to follow the journey of your kid
Weekly newsletter


Cons: Nursery not designed yet for pre-schoolers. Looking to see how it evolves in the future when there will be more kids. But for now, there are only 2 rooms with quite an age gap up to 2's.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brightsparks Nursery in Eltham is a wonderful place for a child to thrive. With my second son, I was very anxious to find the right Nursery given the fact that he hates to be separated from his mother and was not keen on being left alone with people he didn’t know. However, the Nursery manager was very
understanding and accommodating in giving him enough time to settle and allocating a great key worker for him. She is absolutely fantastic with kids and we are blessed to have her and the rest of the team. What I like especially is the daily updates about my child and the online journals. The place is kept clean and tidy! I would very much recommend this Nursery to anyone nearby.

The staff at Brightsparks are extremely friendly, very easy to approach, always willing to answer any questions that I have had. They are amazing with my son and he absolutely loves it there. I can't express enough how lovely it is and I'm so glad I chose this nursery. I feel my son has learnt so much
just from being here as they are always encouraging him to learn. The staff are always keeping parents updated on what the children are learning and activities that are happening on a weekly basis too. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and caring staff, the nursery makes you feel very welcome.
They will listen to any concerns you have regarding your child, they will help you and carry on anything you are doing at home, ie potty training, getting the child off a bottle or dummy.
They don’t rush your child into settling
in, they welcome the parent to stay as long as needed.

I am extremely happy with Brightsparks nursery. My son loves his keyworker, and he has developed a lot since he started. He is now eating a lot better and his sleep routine has improved. I love the fact that we receive a detailed feedback at the end of each day and we can comunicate any issues our son
has.
The staff is very helpful, the facilities are new and colourful. I truly believe I couldn´t have choosen better.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started nursery after being at home with me for 10 months. I was worried about the impact this would have on his routine, However, I was pleased to see how smooth the transition was thanks to the staff. My son is always happy to go to nursery. I have noticed that he is a lot more confident and
he loves his key worker. I like the fact that I have access to his learning journals and I always receive a detailed handover of what he has done, eaten, drunk, etc... I am really pleased with my choice.

My two sons have been attending from when they opened and I've already seen a massive improvement in my son's speech who was behind with his speech. My eldest wakes up every morning asking to go to school and comes home telling me about his day and is so proud of himself. My youngest enjoys it too and
it makes my day seeing the daily updates on the learning journals that gets emailed to me! Staff are lovely and always tell me what is happening in the nursery and about my kid's progress!

After I viewed the Eltham Brightsparks Nursery I knew I wanted my child to attend. The management have been very helpful and professional from the very first point of contact. The fees are very reasonable and there is a lot of flexibility for sessions. The nursery itself is a really wonderful and stimulating
environment and I know my daughter will get lots of care and attention in a secure and safe place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool Eltham 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 5.0 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 4.942 for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool Eltham is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.942
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool Eltham 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
