Fantastic nursery! Our daughter had a wonderful preschool year at Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool. The staff were kind, caring and warm and did a fantastic job getting our daughter ready for school, socially and emotionally as well as stretching her educationally. They really fed her
curiosity and made her excited to learn.

Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool has such fantastic staff who genuinely care about the children and do all they can to support you as the parents.
My son has been going since he was 1 and he's just left as an almost 4-year-old. They've taken him through nursery to pre-school age and
really allowed him to find his confidence, learn how to build strong relationships and be curious to learn.

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

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that our team at Bright Horizons Putney has made such a positive impact on your son's growth and confidence. It's been a joy to support him from nursery to preschool and we appreciate your kind words!

This is an exceptional nursery. Our child attended from when she was a frightened 1-year-old in the midst of a pandemic and Covid testing, all up until she started big school. The staff have been incredible throughout: working patiently with children to socialise pandemic babies to play well with their
peers, encouraging independence and good habits in nursery and especially fostering growth and learning in pre-school. Our daughter is now a confident young preschooler who still talks about her preschool friends and staff with affection. She was loved, nurtured and encouraged to thrive - I could not be more thankful to the manager managing the team as well as all the incredible team members who cared for my child so deeply. Highly recommend!

Our daughter went to Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool from when she was 9 months and has gone to Bright Horizons for four years. These four years have been fantastic. The love, care and attention our child got from each staff member was unmatched. The curriculum teaches children many
skills, including how to be independent, confident, empathetic, which will help them in life in the future. The activities are very fun and engaging.
My daughter came home excited and happy every day. Would highly recommend!

We consider ourselves and our daughter incredibly lucky that she was able to go to Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool from a very young age - she attended full-time.
Our daughter has blossomed into a confident 4-year-old, ready for 'big school' because of Bright Horizons Putney. They
taught her to be kind, to be respectful, to play as a member of a group and above all, they cared for her as if she were one of their own children. She learned the alphabet, numbers, colours, shapes very early on and then was taught many 'softer skills' at this very young age - to be a leader of her group but also play together nicely, to listen and pay attention, to help tidy up, to eat all her meals and so much more.
We will be forever grateful to the team at Bright Horizons Putney.

My three year old has been attending Bright Horizons Putney for the last year and he absolutely adores it! All of the staff there are so invested and caring in what the children, and their development and my son loves them all. He looks forward to going every morning and it's such a relief to know how
cared for he is there. I fully recommend the nursery without hesitation.

Our youngest child has just started at Bright Horizons after our eldest child attended this nursery for 3 years. This nursery provides the most loving and caring environment for the children. The activities set out by the staff in the baby room are so creative and immersive for the children. The management
are approachable, knowledgeable and empathetic. We are lucky to have a place at such a great nursery. Our child comes home happy and we love the app the nursery use to keep up to date with our son's daily activities!

Having to get back to work and finding a trustworthy, supportive and reliable nursery to look after my 3-month-old baby it was one of the frightening things I had to do but Bright Horizon Putney has been superb since day one. The nursery plays an important role in my son’s life, his development is beyond
what we could ever hoped, he is well looked after, always happy to go to the nursery, he interacts with other people and children easily, and it’s the most important part of my son’s daily care since the beginning. His food is daily freshly cooked, ingredients nicely sourced, the staff are friendly and well trained for their job role, pictures of his daily activities are sent daily. In difficult times and situations I had all the support and counselling I needed from the manager to help my son’s development and wellbeing. I couldn’t be happier!

My son was at Bright Horizons Putney for the past 3 years (going through all three internal phases), starting school last September, and it is evident his experience at Bright Horizons set him up for an easy transition. He has no doubt developed character traits of sharing, empathy, kindness, and confidence
- whilst he can be competitive, he listens and can concentrate well too.
My daughter is still at Bright Horizons, and is at nursery (moving to Preschool in the Spring) and she is excited to go in every day. Like her brother, her language and social skills have developed rapidly; no doubt to the attentive and evidently very caring staff; all the Bright Horizons Putney team seem to be in their work for the vocation and love of the children - whilst on a personal level, they have been supportive and adaptive to my challenges as a single-father.

Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool has been a home away from home for both of my children. My eldest started when she was 18 months old and went to reception this year. She was so well prepared and ready for this big change - this is all down to the incredible staff and the happy learning
environment they work so hard to create.
My youngest (now in nursery room) loves coming in each morning. Everyone is so attentive and caring.
The nursery is excellently managed, nothing is too much for the manager or deputy manager - they go above and beyond! I couldn’t recommend this nursery more highly.

My little girl started at Putney Bright Horizons at 9 months old, and she is now 2.5 years old. She goes to nursery every day with a smile on her face. She loves all the members of staff at the nursery, all of whom are so kind and caring to her. My daughter has learnt so much at the nursery, and was
able to read numbers and count to ten well before she was 2 - this was solely down to the staff at the nursery!
My partner and I are so happy with the nursery. We know our daughter is well cared for and is actively learning every day. The staff are always so kind and lovely to both us and our daughter. We would greatly recommend the nursery and would give it the highest rating.

Our daughter absolutely loves attending Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool. From day one, the manager and her team have created an awe-inspiring setting for our daughter. Each day, the children have access to enriched, purposeful activities linked to topics, which cover all of the areas
of learning. The manager has created a warm, happy and safe learning space and a buy-in from all staff. We really appreciated the recent parents evening session where staff members discussed our child's progress and with this next steps and a clear breakdown of developmental milestones. The app takes away any anxieties that we may have, as parents, as we are able to see what she has been doing throughout the day, has eaten and how she is feeling. Staff go above and beyond to continue communications at the start and end of the day and are always contactable. Our child is truly so happy at Bright Horizons and is getting a truly outstanding start in her educational journey; thank you so much.

Our son really seems to be getting a lot out of his time spent here. The staff are really caring and the app shows us what a wide range of activities are provided for the children each day and how imaginative some of them are too!
They are also often topical/seasonal-themed which further helps his
learning.
The catering is excellent and well-considered and he has formed strong bonds with all of the staff.
Really pleased we chose this nursery as it’s helping give him a great start in life.

The manager and her team are incredible. We were so nervous about our 10-month-old going to nursery but he soon started smiling as soon as we arrived at the front door. They offer a huge range of activities that potentially someone would not be able to do at home. Whenever we came into contact with
the carers they were always so happy and motivated and gave us fabulous feedback and incredible detail on how our boy’s day had gone. The staff were a delight to do a handover with on evening pick-ups. Our son also barely had a cold (from teething) after so many people told us he’d be sick for months from nursery. I genuinely feel it’s because of the manager’s high standards and the incredible care delivered by her team that our now one-year-old is so chatty and walking! Thank you, thank you, thank you! (Prices for nurseries are generally very expensive in Putney, everything is included and the level of care makes it worth every penny, however it is pricey)

The thought and effort that goes into making sure each day is stimulating, educational and fun is astounding. Several of the activities clearly take a lot of thought and effort on the part of the nursery staff to prepare and put together. These are often seasonal or related to a 'book of the week'.
This includes learning about different cultures and foods, and celebrating differences. The staff are friendly and our daughter has flourished in this environment. Our daughter frequently pretends to be her nursery teachers at home, or pretends to phone them on our flat intercom, and it is clear how comfortable and happy she is there. Having recently visited several nurseries due to sadly having to move away for work, we can see how much this environment is set apart from others. I would unreservedly recommend this nursery to others, and if we could take the teachers with us we would!

My daughter attended the nursery for 2 years, yesterday was her last day. The team are very professional and friendly, they always ensure families are informed about their children’s education nursery events. The garden is small but has everything to support children’s learning, there is a lovely herb
grow area, the children spend most of the day outside. The nursery has been part of our family life the manager and deputy are attentive to every child’s need and family. We will miss the team thank you for all your love and caring for my daughter.

Saw a few nurseries around Putney and found this to be a good fit for my child as I was looking for a nursery to encourage social interaction in my child. We had a very good experience and care at the nursery. My child really enjoyed herself there, with so many activities appropriate for child development.
The teachers and carers genuinely care for the children and are attentive to their needs. They give regular feedback and keep parents updated with the children. Highly recommended nursery in Putney!

Best nursery ever! Not one bad thing to say and the way my boy has developed here was beyond expectations. When I have more children then there will be no doubt on where I bring them. From the moment he entered he felt safe and we felt he was in the best hands. The entire team at the Putney branch goes
above and beyond.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.829 for Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Putney Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
