The nursery is very welcoming. The staff is a really distinctive factor. All the carers are so nice and kids are always happy when you enter in any of the rooms. It's well organised and the managers are so professional and go beyond expectations.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending for the last 18 months and has transitioned from the baby, toddler room and is now in the preschool room. Overall, very happy with how my son has progressed through the stages of development including potty training and communication skills. The staff have always been supportive
and worked well with us to achieve this. We have seen a high staff turnover, which has resulted in changes in key workers, often, which is our only criticism.

It's a lovely nursery. Teachers are nice and caring. Children here are also lovely. My boy says, "there is no best friend; we are all friends at nursery". Teachers are very experienced, and my boy loves all the teachers here. They are very helpful, and I am very happy. I know my son is in good hands.

Our son has built some strong relationships with his key workers and class leaders. He has grown in confidence, his speech and language skills are improving and he enjoys the numeracy activities. Our son really likes the food too. We really like the smaller class sizes which provide a supportive environment
and are very caring. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.238)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.238) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Palmers Green Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.813 for Bright Horizons Palmers Green Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.813
  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 4.425 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Palmers Green Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.625
  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.
