Welcome to Bright Horizons' Nursery in the centre of Purley.
When children join the nursery at Bright Horizons Purley, ideally situated by Purley train station and a short walk from the high-street, they join a friendly and welcoming family of staff, parents and children, quickly settling into the routines and fun of the day.
The dedicated team provides personalised care and education tailored to each child's unique needs and interests. With spacious and inviting classrooms, equipped with state-of-the-art learning materials, the nursery fosters a love for exploration and discovery. From the baby room, where the team prioritises mirroring home routines for a smooth transition, to the toddler spaces designed to encourage independence and curiosity, every corner of the nursery is crafted with your child's growth and development in mind.
The team loves to get outside and enjoy the small garden or roof terrace, so learning is often taken outside into the garden; and while your child is busy exploring and having fun, the team can keep you updated via the Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with the nursery.
Book your tour today to visit the nursery and discover what it has to offer, the team can’t wait to meet you.

They do lots of activities that we don't necessarily do at home such as sand and water play, and his pallette has definitely expanded as he gets to try a range of different foods. Staff have also been accomodating to dietary needs and any medical attention that he has required over time.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear your son is happy, settled and enjoying such strong bonds with our team. It's wonderful to know he's enjoying the activities and trying lots of new foods too!

Sadly, we had to move her to another Bright Horizons Nursery due to a house move, and we've been incredibly disappointed by the difference in standards. This nursery truly set the bar high, and we miss it dearly!
Thank you for such lovely words! We're delighted you felt so happy and reassured by the care your daughter received. We're sorry to see you go and wish your family all the very best.

I really like how well-structured the activities are, with a good focus on the children's overall development and learning while still keeping things fun and engaging.
The staff are always friendly and approachable, and I especially want to mention Bobbie from the admin team. She is amazing, always helpful and quick to support us whenever we need anything.
Another thing I really appreciate is how well they look after the little ones when they are unwell. It gives us a lot of reassurance knowing that our child is in good hands.
Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend it to other parents.
Thank you for your recommendation and kind review. We're pleased to hear your child is developing new skills and enjoying our activities. We'll be sure to share your lovely comments with the team.

I had to move my child to Bright Horizons Purley after a really bad experience at another nursery. The staff truly restored my faith in child care. Management were compasionate and extremely thorough in making sure that my child would settle smoothly into the nursery. The team also took extra precautions to ensure that my childs allergy was well documented and all processes were in place. The staff at this nursery are extremely warm, friendly and professional. Management are highly proactive and are in the detail of each child's care which is impressive and reassuring. Room leaders are creative in their planning of the activities run to deliver education to our kids. What also stands out is how thoughtful the staff are. They always ask if your child had a good night and if you ever have a drop off that is unsettled they always send pictures and update you to let you know that your child is happy and settled. The nursery is impressive and genuinely the best nursery I have encountered.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that our team helped make your family's transition so positive and reassuring. It's fantastic to know your child has felt safe, supported and happy with us, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our caring staff, attention to detail and engaging learning experiences. Thank you for your recommendation and trust in our team.
Well done to the Purley Team. It's been our second child with the nursery and things the experience has been at the same quality. In terms of feedback, I do feel there were more activities last year. Football academy, music sessions etc. but overall still a great nursery.

Fabulous nursery and staff! Honestly I can't praise them enough! Most helpful, kind, caring, considerate and understanding. I've sent both my kids here from the age of one and couldn't imagine sending them anywhere else and I know they've been well looked after and attended too!

I was fortunate to find BH Purley for my middle child as the care is always top tier, I have just started sending my youngest here now too and I'm astounded how attentive, kind, loving and professional all the staff are. They've made me and my children feel comfortable and the meals make me jealous! Great communication, location and opening times. They all need a pay rise!

My daughter started with the nursery in September, shes has been used to one to one care at home so the transition was a bit mind boggling for her but the nursery has been so accommodating, patience and extremely supportive of her transition into new lifestyle for her. She's a fussy and picky eater and they try so hard to encourage her to eat and try things. As scary as joining a nursery may be for the first time I can confidently say Bright Horizon Purley has made this change as smooth as possible for my family.
My son has been at the nursery for over 2 years now and they have been really great at supportive the whole time. He really enjoys his time there and they have worked so well with us from weaning to potty training. I will be so sad when the time comes for us to leave!

We have 2 kids in nursery and we are very happy with the care provided to both of them. All the staff are very friendly from front of house to everyone you meet. Both kids really enjoy going and it is clear that both are flourishing.

No complaints about the nursery - settled my daughter in perfectly and are very attentive. During the day we were kept up to date and at pickup we are given a rundown of what she's been up to. Staff all friendly and welcoming, greeted with smiles every morning and a clear enjoyment for their jobs.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased your daughter settled well and that our team's care and communication give you peace of mind.
My daughter has been attending BH Purley for over a year, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. As a first-time parent, I was nervous about leaving her with people I didn't know, but my tour answered every question and completely eased my fears. I really appreciate the diversity within the...
I love that children can naturally choose their own key person, and seeing the genuine bond my daughter formed with hers gave me so much confidence. The staff and management are always supportive and clear in their communication. The healthy, balanced menu prepared daily by the in-house chef is another huge plus. Fresh meals that my daughter genuinely enjoys.
I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking in the Purley area. The care, teaching, inclusivity, and partnership with parents have been outstanding. My youngest will be joining in the new year.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback! We're thrilled your daughter feels happy and included and we look forward to welcoming your youngest soon.

I started my career here at Bright Horizons Epsom, beginning my journey in our Preschool unit. Over the years, I have gained experience in all the rooms. I gained my Level 3 in Child Care and Early Years in 2010, Leadership and Management Level 3 in 2016 and currently studying Level 2 in Autism. Part of my role is Health and Safety Officer, which means I make sure the nursery is safe for all children, parents, visitors and staff.
I enjoy every minute of working at Epsom and am very proud to be managing our newest nursery at Purley.
