Kind, caring and nurturing.
The staff provide a fun and educational space for play and learning. Our little one goes in with the biggest smile as he knows he is about to have a great day. They have supported his naps and walking. Would recommend.

Thank you for your kind words. We're so happy your little one heads into nursery with a big smile! It's lovely to hear he's thriving and supported through key milestones. We really appreciate your recommendation.

I've been so impressed with this nursery recently and wanted to follow with another review to express my gratitude. The staff are amazing, especially one member of staff in particular, our son's key person, who has a special bond with him and nurtures him wonderfully. A huge thank you as well to another
member of staff, the toddler room team lead, for her experience, knowledge, and genuine care, as well as the entire toddler team for being so sweet and skilled.
Thanks also to the management team for their hard work and creativity, particularly the nursery manager, who has been supportive and helpful from the start.
The nursery itself is fantastic, with great room setups-like an indoor slide, quiet reading corner, and free-flow garden access with bikes and fun toys. The daily activities are engaging and well-planned, the food is nutritious, and the updates through the app and daily photos are excellent. Most importantly, my son loves it and looks forward to going every morning. This nursery is truly a gem!

This was our first experience with a nursery and we are so pleased with the everything about Bright Horizons, from the caring, nurturing nursery workers, the amazing management team, the delicious food that's being provided by the catering team and how careful they are when dealing with my son's allergies.
They also always strive to do the best for him e.g. if he doesn't eat the provided lunch or dinner they will go out of their way to provide a sandwich so he doesn't go hungry. They are so communicative with issues and when he's not feeling well. He's learnt so much since going there and he loves all the activities they do and loves playing with his friends that he's made there. Choosing Bright Horizons Ewell Rd was the best decision we've made for him.

My daughter has been going to Bright Horizons Ewell Road for a year and a half. She has grown in many ways since attending - including friendships and learning about the world around her. She has days full of adventure, filled with many stimulating activities and healthy meals that get logged. Everyday
a post is shared so we can feel part of the day, I'd recommend Bright Horizons Ewell road to other moms!

I highly recommend Bright Horizons Surbiton Ewell Road Day Nursery and Preschool to anyone in the area looking for exceptional childcare. My daughter recently joined, following me returning to work after a few years being at home with her. Understandably a worrying time having to leave your child but
the staff really helped me with the transition by putting my mind at ease with a tour of the nursery and showing me all the facilities and activities they have on site. Seeing first hand all the other children having fun, learning and being really well cared for really put my mind at ease. My daughter has settled in well, she is excited to go in every morning and comes out each day with wonderful stories of what she has been up to through out the day.

My child is really happy at the nursery and gets so much love, support and enrichment from the staff. The recent addition of things, like the wellness room for the children to do yoga and practice breathing, has been so beneficial for managing his young emotions. I think the team there are excellent
and we are very happy.

We have both of our daughters in Bright Horizons, Ewell Road and they absolutely love it. The activities they do are endless and it's always something different, so much creativity and thought goes into making sure the children are learning and entertained.
From the moment we stepped in I knew it
would be the perfect place for our children. I've always felt the girls are safe and looked after really well.
They both run in and are smiling every time we collect them. They talk about the nursery when they aren't there and ask to go.
Their development has improved so much since being a part of the Nursery.
I'd highly recommend the staff are lovely and so helpful.

We have had a lovely experience with both our children at this nursery. Our eldest started when they recently opened and is now at school. We are happy with her development and felt she was well equipped for school. Our youngest currently attends nursery and loves going in every morning. The staff are
great and the overall learning and development plan is great.

My children have been going here since it opened. I love everything about this place. Initially, I was on the fence about sending my daughter to a Bright Horizons, in case it might not have the personal touch due to being a large company, but it is the complete opposite. The staff have always been great,
the atmosphere here is always positive and fun. The kids love it and the staff here help make the nursery experience straightforward and enjoyable.

Ewell Road Nursery has been exceptionally welcoming and friendly to our baby and us. Within two weeks of settling in, she was smiling on her way into nursery, excited to play with her babies group and the wonderfully fun nursery team. The nursery even called me on settling-in days to check I was ok
- what a caring ethos! We are very reassured that our child is thriving and so happy to join in. The nursery team are highly professional and work very well together, not to mention creative! Every day we see photos on the app of the creative activities and outings to encourage their development and confidence. Thank you Ewell Road team, for your dedication!

This is a very nurturing place for children and really feels like a second home. Staff are professional and well qualified. They are genuinely caring for children and provide all necessary help that a child (and parents) would need. They listen well to parents enquiries or issues and address them in
a very satisfactory way, are flexible in their approaches to children and always try to cater to every child’s development need or learning pace. The cost might be a little high but worth the quality of care and also worth the peace of mind and assurance that the child is in a safe environment. My child joined Bright Horizons nursery following a bad experience that he had in a previous nursery. The staff really worked on understanding my child's personality, character and past experience and truly helped my child to overcome such bad experiences from the past! I can see that my child became independent, has amazing friendships with the other children, and learned positive discipline.

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons Surbiton Ewell Road for a couple of years now since it opened. She thoroughly enjoys her time there and really looks forward to it each week. The staff are very caring and nurturing and I am really grateful for the support they have provided her. The rooms are
all well equipped and provide a good mix of stimulation for all children of various abilities.
During covid, a challenging time, management tried to keep communication as clear as possible for us all so that we were aware of nursery closure and how it impacted us, which was greatly appreciated.
I look forward to my son joining and enjoying it as much as his sister!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.219)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.219) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Surbiton Ewell Road Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.948 for Bright Horizons Surbiton Ewell Road Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.948

  • b) 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 4.271 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Surbiton Ewell Road 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.471

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

My journey in childcare started in 2010 as a Nursery assistant in the under 2’s Room in Bright Horizons Kingston Victoria Road. Whilst working I completed my CACHE Level 3 Diploma Certificate for the Children and Young People’s Workforce. After this, I quickly stepped into a Room Leader role supporting my team and children with their development and helping them grow through a safe and stimulating environment, within a short time I was then promoted to Third in Charge. Whilst in this role I took on more responsibility within the Nursery supporting and guiding the nursery team using the Bright Horizons HEART principles as well as building strong relationships with the parents and children, this led me to progress further into my current role as Deputy Manager.

In July 2021 I then transferred to Surbiton Ewell Road, bringing with me all my knowledge and experience from my time at Kingston. I am excited about what the future holds at this nursery, working closely alongside the team and building relationships with all the families.
