Conveniently located just a 15-minute walk from Mornington Crescent tube and close to Euston and Camden Town stations, the nursery offers limited funded-only places.

In the colourful toddler room, children can explore a range of low-level resources at their own pace.

The under-twos enjoy a dedicated garden tailored to their developmental needs, while the 2 to 3s' room encourages independence, creativity, and socialisation.

The spacious preschool room, led by a qualified teacher, includes an ICT suite and an art room, helping children build confidence and skills for school.

Mealtimes are a joy in the dining room, where children share nutritious meals together.

Our experience from year 1 to graduation from preschool was excellent. The team, including management, is outstanding and food served always received highest praise by our boy. All in, a nursery to recommend.

Our daughter has been in Bright Horizons Regents Park Day Nursery and Preschool for a long time and for us, preschool is and extension of home. The team and management are brilliant with the kids and working with individual strengths and weaknesses whilst pushing the kids in the right direction. Our
daughter has a thirst for knowledge, she will come home and discuss with great confidence and care the amount of activities (what was done) she has participated in (which is all of them). Our daughter can be shy at times but her confidence has come up leaps and bounds, she has definitely been given the best start pre-reception. I would especially like to thank management and all the team, they go beyond to support both parents and kids.

We have been using Bright Horizons Regents Park since my first daughter started in 2020. In general, the nursery has been great, the main staff that have stayed, especially one staff member have made our experience what it is! Another staff member always goes above and beyond, she's basically been the
manager/ running things for as long as I can remember. Also, the other staff have also been great.

My son started back in January and has been thriving ever since.
My son's speech and language are becoming more clearer each day and his physical development is improving so much.
The staff and management are very friendly and accommodating to my child's needs.
I can not fault the staff and management
as they are doing a great job looking after and caring for my son.

The staff that I deal with are very polite, caring and understanding. I have found that there is one member of staff that my grandson is very fond of and he gets on well with.
I am very pleased with the whole nursery.

Bright Horizons Regents Park is a wonderful nursery and I feel lucky to have had the choice to sign up our daughter there. Initially, we started with 3 days a week, as she was just over 1 year old, we wanted to give her enough time to adapt, but with the tremendous support of both the brilliant staff
and management team, we quickly scheduled her for 5 days (full-time). Over the past year, she learned so much, built new friends, became more independent. Thank you to the team at Bright Horizons Regents Park for your remarkable care!

Our child has been attending this nursery since he was 14 months old. He is now 3 years old and I can only say positive things about the nursery. The staff are all top. Friendly, dedicated and full of ideas for games and learning. They all have their hearts in the right place and educate the children
to be confident and friendly people and that at eye level with modern educational approaches. Our child is happy there. He learns a lot and loves to go there. Transitions from toddlers to 2-3s to pre-school worked incredibly well. They know the children by heart as it is a small nursery. I like that they have their own chef who cooks fresh.
The only thing I’d wish for: no street shoes inside. Also, I’d improve the ratio of male and female carers but I do understand that it is still hard to find for early years education.

My son started at Bright Horizons, Regents Park Day Nursery and Preschool at 10months old and it has been a good experience so far. He is now 2.5 years old and the excitement I see on his face when going to the nursery, tells a lot. As a working mum, I feel at ease knowing he is in good hands and well
taken care of. I especially like the updates on the family app that gives us current updates on what he is up to, how he is doing and interacting with other children (e.g. sleeping, park, baking, painting etc.) My son is always excited for 'show and tell Tuesday,' where he selects an item to go present to his friends at the nursery. The staff at the nursery are excellent and I'm glad we decided to bring my son to the nursery. The level of peace of mind I get, knowing my son is well taken care of and he enjoys going to nursery, makes it worthwhile.

Just a lovely nursery with wonderful staff, activities and food for children. My toddler has been attending for just over a year and he loves his teachers and playing outdoors. He's also learned songs, words and gets to practice eating with utensils and practising good social behaviours with his friends.

I find the carers in the nursery extremely receptive to the need of my little one. They are gentle and caring. They cuddle him when he is emotional and needy and stimulate him when he wants to play and learn. He has started eating food that I never imagined he would and I am a satisfied mom knowing
that my child is getting the best care.

Bright Horizons Regents Park is outstanding in the care and education brought to the little ones. The staff are amazing, always available for questions from parents and organizing wonderful activities and memories for our children. The manager is extremely reliable and helpful, she has managed the transition
in Covid times with exceptional skills. My daughter started when she was 4months and from the baby room to the toddler group, she is so happy every morning going to Bright Horizons. The location is also incredibly privileged with Regents Park and a brand new playground just one street away.

Our daughter has really enjoyed her experience with Bright Horizons. She’s been a part of the toddler, 2-3 and pre-school rooms and has felt loved and cared for by the teachers in all three rooms. They’ve nurtured her interests and invested in her growth and it’s been so wonderful to have the nursery
through the pandemic as a source of real joy for her.

We are very grateful for the nursery staff for always putting the children's happiness and well being first, for painting a really fun and happy environment for our children regardless of what's going on in the world. My son loves his nursery- he has very strong connections to both his classmates and
the staff. This sort of lively, warm fun and stimulating environment is exactly what he needed to grow in both confidence and skill.

All three of my children have attended Bright horizons in Regents Park, with my last little one there now.


It is OFSTED rated outstanding and for good reason! This year they have proved how amazing, kind, supportive and professional they are, in such a difficult situation. They have done their best

to keep the kids safe, focused on fun and activities, and have been hugely helpful with online courses too in the lockdown.


Reasons we love it: a dedicated carer who knows our kid, good healthy food, variety of activities focused on development, reading etc etc. Kind carers who engage with the children and forge a bond. Nice classmates who are encouraged to make friends. Very easy to deal with the team, speaking to them or online, as well as regular class updates.


Well done Bright Horizons team! Merry Christmas

My son started attending in August 2020 when he was 10+months. While he took a bit of time to settle in, he has since been enjoying himself. He looks forward to going now. His key person and the overall staff take excellent care of him. I trust them with his care. They know him very well now including
all his habits. His development has been really great in just over 2months. We get daily detailed reports from his eating to sleeping, changing and play activities. I have been very impressed. I would 100% recommend the nursery to everyone. I couldn’t be happier with our choice. I feel all his needs including love and emotional care are being met.

My son has been at Bright Horizons Regent's Park since February 2019, when he was 8 months old. He's flourished there and has always received excellent and kind care. The staff are passionate about the children and parents receive regular feedback and progress reports. I also appreciated how the management
handled the lockdown and closure of the nursery this year and their flexibility on the return date. Highly recommend.

All three of our children have attended Bright Horizons Regent's Park and over the past six years, we have been beyond pleased with the nursery. Our first two have graduated, and by the time they left for Reception, they were perfectly prepared for their first year of school. The staff has always been
kind, caring and attentive to their needs while also focusing on their early education. There has been a consistent team and each of our children has bonded beautifully with them.
The staff's guidance and advice are truly valued. They have had a significant and positive impact on the lives of my children.

Our daughter joined Bright Horizons as a baby in January this year. We adore the staff, and her physical development and language skills have come on in leaps and bounds since she started. Her Key Workers nurture her love of reading and imaginative play, and she loves the outdoor garden. We visited
several nurseries in the Camden area when looking at our opinions, and found the location, curriculum and dedication of the staff to be far better than others in the area, while a comparable cost. The nursery is alongside Regent's Park, and in warmer months, staff would take small groups of children for outings, which our daughter loved. We get daily "report cards" and have check-ins with her Key Worker, and in a pre-Covid era, the team would bring families together for celebrations and open days (since lockdown, the Bright Horizons team have been very diligent about health and safety and Covid guidelines so this no longer happens, but I hope it will return).

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.036)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.036) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Regents Park 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.869 for Bright Horizons Regents Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.869

  • 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 4.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Regents Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.467

  • 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.
