My daughter has settled in beautifully at Balham Day Nursery and Preschool. I appreciated the settling in period being tailored to ensure a smooth transition and not too much disturbance with our routine. The staff throughout the nursery are friendly, attentive and approachable. My daughter is thoroughly
enjoying her time here. She enjoys the weekly show and tell and learning new songs. I am impressed with the various activities offered to the children, my daughter never comes home bored and is nearly always exhausted! Many thanks and great job.

Upon deciding which nursery to choose for my son one and a half years ago, Bright Horizons Balham Day Nursery and Preschool came as a very easy choice. It is bright, airy and clean; with fantastic facilities to help stretch the imaginations of the children and broaden their horizons! They have an app
which is a perfect platform for keeping up to date with my son's progress. He has learned so much since attending. His speech and vocabulary have come on leaps and bounds. The staff are amazing and were exceptional in potty training my son; he was out of nappies in no time. My son looks forward to attending every day and I would definitely recommend Bright Horizons to everyone!

I couldn't be more impressed with the team and the care they give to my child than at Bright Horizons Balham Day Nursery and Preschool. We think the facilities are fantastic because everything is virtually brand-new, there is heaps of space, two gardens one which is shaded, and everything is up-to-date
and super clean. The chef cooks the food on site and it is super nutritious and all home-cooked - I got too try one of the soups and was the best I had had! Also, because the nursery only reopened recently, it is not yet at capacity and the staff to children ratio is far better than any other nursery in London I would guess! My boy absolutely loves it, he loves the other kids, he loves the staff and he has so much fun. We get regular updates on the app so we can see pictures and anything else we might want to know. The team there are really flexible so we can add on days if we need to with ease and all the admin side of putting a child to nursery run super smoothly. I can't recommend this place enough!

Our daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Balham since January and we are very pleased overall. The staff is very welcoming, they have a kind word for every child and make sure they provide you with regular updates. The garden is an amazing add-on, the kids spend quite a lot of time outside weather
permitting. We have been impressed by the multiple activities, especially for babies. Our daughter goes there with a smile on her face every day and for us, it says it all.

This was my first choice of nursery and I have not been disappointed. My daughter joined Bright Horizons Balham at 9 months and has really developed during her time there. She has formed a lovely bond with the care workers and they have really made the effort to get to know her personality, likes and
dislikes. It is a great learning environment, that is very well maintained. I would certainly recommend to anyone!

My son has been attending Bright Horizons Balham for the past two years, and our experience has been positive.
The facilities are top-notch and meticulously maintained. Cleanliness is clearly a priority. One of the standout features is the huge garden, which is separated into sections for babies, toddlers
and preschoolers.
The staff are great. I have always felt confident that my son is in good hands, and he has formed strong bonds with many of the caregivers.
While there have been a few ups and downs in the past with staff turnover and management changes, things have significantly improved during the last year under the latest management.

Ever since my daughter joined Balham Day Nursery, I have witnessed alot of development in her growing up as a child. She can interact very well, she enjoyed reading and socialised with other people easily. I can also, recommend all the members of the staff for their wonderful job on the kids, starting
from the Manager to the staff. They are polite in welcoming us every morning and evening, they are very helpful in updating us with the daily activities of my kid. My special recommendation goes to the manager, who is always there to answer and support any questions or queries I have. Thank you Balham Day Nursery.

We have been really happy with the care given to our daughters at Balham Bright Horizons. It is a warm and welcoming environment and the team really cares about the children and encourages a lovely community between the kids. They also do great activities that allow the children to learn but ensure
that they have fun and enjoy their time there. The management and room leaders are also really responsive and help children to adapt to room moves or returns from holidays with lots of care and attention. We also love the outdoor space which the children get to use daily and the regular updates and photos on the app.

Bright Horizons Balham has been a blessing for our family. The facilities are top-notch, providing a safe and stimulating environment for our daughter. The staff are incredibly caring and professional, and the management team ensures everything runs smoothly. With a variety of engaging activities, our
child is thriving here. In only three months she has started to answer questions in English (we are not English natives). We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend Bright Horizons to any parent seeking quality childcare.

Great nursery! Outside space is great. New management is also really good vs old management from 2022/2023. Hours are really good too. 11 hours a day. 51 weeks a year works well. Expensive but worth it (just about). Kids play in the garden a lot which is nice. Would be good for outside people to come
in now and again on a weekly basis and also take kids out somewhere for the day if possible.

Bright Horizons, Balham, has been amazing for both me and my daughter. Though it's not my closest nursery, I'm willing to travel the extra distance for the quality of care and support. The app is fantastic at updating me on my daughter's progress and day to day activities. I love the ease and effective

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Balham 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.860 for Bright Horizons Balham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.86

  • 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 Balham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 18 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 18 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.
