Review from B D (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery itself is such a great place. Staff and management are so attentive and we know we leave our little one there in the best hands. The app is really helpful for us as parents to check in on what they're up to during the day, to include personal care, food, activities etc. It really gives us peace of mind and lovely insight into the fun things they get up to!

All the staff have been amazing in ensuring my daughter had a great transition. She loves nursery and I feel genuinely comfortable dropping her off every morning knowing she will be safe and taken care of. The staff are friendly, kind and go the extra mile to be helpful.

Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Purley Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how positive your experience has been with both of your children and that you feel so supported by our attentive, caring team.

Review from C E (Mother of Child) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

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.

Review from Serwaa D (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 staff and children. It creates such a warm, inclusive environment where my daughter feels represented and welcomed.
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.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Purley Day Nursery and Preschool

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.

Overall Experience
My son started nursery back in August and from my observation since starting he's been developing a lot faster than before.
I haven't had an issue with any of the staff and they are all welcoming.
His keyworker is very communicative, so I always feel I know what has been going on with his day. It's really nice to see that the staff work together to support each other.

The building is always clean and tidy.

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive - they truly care about every child. Our little one has grown so much since starting there; they're more confident, sociable, and come home happy every day. The activities are creative and engaging, and I love how the team keeps us updated with photos and little notes about their day. It's such a comforting feeling to know our child is in such a loving and nurturing environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their child will be genuinely cared for and encouraged to thrive.

Overall Experience

We could not be happier with Bright Horizons purley! They have always been so wonderful to both of our children. Our son was there for 3 years (18 months - school age) and our daughter is currently thriving there and she is 10 months (started at 7.5 months). They really care about our children and my husband and I feel confident that our children are cared for well. We even visit with our eldest and he is always excited to see his old teachers. Thank you for all you do to support our family

Review from C C (Father of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is very mixed. Some rooms are great and certain workers lovely, others not and there's very high turnover. Management is unaccountable and defers to room leads. Our child went here from 13mths to over 3yrs.
In a blatant cash grab the nursery converted it's indoor games/activity room into an additional windowless basement 2.5-3.5year old room that crowded out the nursery, disrupted progression and turned the shared outdoor garden area into overcrowded madness.
We have since moved our child to a different purley nursery and whilst difficult given the potential disruption it may have brought, we couldn't be happier with the change.

We won't be sending our second child here.

Thank you for your sharing your experience. The team were sad to see your daughter leave, but we wish you and your family all the very best in your new nursery.

Overall Experience
Excellent nursery!
Both managers are approachable, friendly, professional and also very caring which filters to the team.
My granddaughter loves coming to Bright Horizons Purley Day Nursery and Preschool and has made a lot of friends.
Preschool is always buzzing because the children are happy and learning at the same time.
I have to say it’s the best nursery my granddaughter has attended. She’s starting primary school in September and I know she will miss going there!

Keep up the good work team.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Purley is outstanding in all areas. It has exceeded my expectations in all respects and my daughter is so happy and settled, in fact, she can’t wait to arrive at nursery every morning. Of particular note is the dedication of the staff who are so warm and welcoming. My daughter's key worker is amazing and has developed such a fantastic relationship with my daughter. The photographs and updates about what she has been up to are the highlight of my day. Communication on all levels is excellent. The facilities are fantastic and the range of activities available to the children has ensured that my daughter has access to a high standard of learning and development opportunities, I have watched her grow socially, emotionally and educationally since she commenced bright horizons. The food is delicious and the menu is varied and nutritious. I cannot recommend this nursery more!

Our son joined this nursery over a year ago and we are so happy with the care he receives - all of the staff are all fantastic and the activities they do with the children are great - we love getting the updates from their day.

Communication from the nursery is excellent, from menus to what’s going on in the nursery, and the settling-in process in the baby room when we joined was very well considered which made the process easier for us, as a family, to adjust to nursery.

Gemma Job Title: Nursery Manager
Gemma

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.
