Our son started Bright Horizons Holland Park Day Nursery and Preschool when he was 8 months old and we've just left after a year (due to needing to go the bilingual route). I cannot stress enough what an amazing year it's been. The carers in the baby and toddler rooms have truly felt like a second family
to us and the amount of care and attention they put into their roles is unparalleled (having spoken to friends with children elsewhere, Bright Horizons sounds like a league of its own!) Our son would go in every morning with a huge smile on his face which we saw mirrored throughout the day in the daily photos we received along with updates of everything the children were doing. It's been incredibly hard to leave Bright Horizons, our son truly loved each and every one of the team and we will never forget the amazing people there that helped shape an important time for us.

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

Thank you for such a heartfelt review! It's been a joy for the team to care for your son and watch him thrive over the past year. We're so glad he loved his time at our nursery and that our team felt like a second family to you. Wishing you all the best on your next journey!

My daughter went to this nursery for just over a year, starting from when she was around 9 months. I could not fault the staff, the education or the environment that she was in. Every day she was greeted with a warm smile from the deputy manager and she always had a smile when we picked her up in the
afternoon. Every day, we were treated to daily updates, with photos, of what they had been up to during the day, when they took their nap and what they ate. The nursery was open long hours which was incredibly useful to ensure that I could return back in time from across town to pick her up at the end of the day.
All the staff looked relaxed and genuinely happy to work there.
The only negative was the cost which, while is reflective of the area, was not sustainable for us, as a family. Despite this, you will not find a higher quality nursery in the area and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

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

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad your daughter had a positive experience and that you appreciated our staff and daily updates. We understand cost can be a concern and truly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you.

The team at Bright Horizons Holland Park Day Nursery and Preschool have been exceptional in looking after our daughter from the day she turned 1 until graduation. They are caring, attentive, knowledgeable, patient and most importantly, fun! This nursery knows how to create an atmosphere of positive
traits, learning and social skills. And they love to dress up which the kids adore! Special mention for the work and learnings done in the ready for school room - my daughter is more than ready for her next big step.

Our daughter has been at Brightorizons H Holland Park since she turned one. Staff in baby and toddler rooms have been lovely and developed very strong bonds with the kids. The system is very organised - can see how they are developing skills week to week, and the app is great, albeit you can end up
over checking it during the day. Overall, very happy with our choice, and would definitely recommend it to anyone living in the area.

My child has never not wanted to go to nursery whilst being with Bright Horizons Holland Park. She is so excited every morning to see her ‘friends’, whom she will name as both children and staff. She is welcomed so warmly each morning, and she always comes home with many fun tales of all the wonderful
and creative activities she has done during the day. As a parent, I can work with the confidence that my child is not only cared for during the day but loved and entertained. Couldnt recommend it more.

Bright Horizons Holland Park has been an absolute blessing for our family. Both of our children have thrived in this nurturing environment. The staff's dedication is evident in the care and attention given to each child. Our once shy Covid baby has transformed into a confident and bubbly toddler, thanks
to the encouragement and support provided by the nursery. The enriching curriculum and open communication with parents make Bright Horizons Holland Park truly exceptional. We couldn't be more grateful for the impact it has had on our children's early years. Highly recommended!

Having grown up in this area I was already familiar with some of the local nurseries, but we visited many more and did lots of research (including speaking to other parents) before making a decision. We could not be more thrilled with Bright Horizons Holland Park. Our son started at 14 months old and
recently turned 2; with 2 working parents, he might be in from 7.30 - 6.30 pm during the week, so it's critically important to us that he is happy and stimulated there. Led by a brilliant manager/deputy manager duo, the staff are incredibly caring and personable, our son has adored all 3 of his key workers and in truth the entire team acts as his second family. Frankly, they offer a breadth of activities, equipment and gourmet-sounding food that would be beyond us, and getting photos of our son enjoying it all via the app is a huge daily highlight for us. The outdoor space (leading from each room, so children flow freely in and out) is second to none. Best (and biggest) decision we've made for our son.

We would not hesitate a second to recommend Bright Horizons, Holland Park Nursery. Our two daughters (3 and a half and 1 year old) both started at 8 months old. They love it and we do too. The facilities are clean, bright, spacious and each room (baby, toddler, pre-school) has its own outdoor area.
Children benefit from a great range of activities tailored to each age and development stage. Opening hours are amazing, the app with daily updates is very good and last but not least the staff are the best! Our daughters are happy to go in the morning and always come back with big smiles on their faces. Thank you!

From the wonderful building and excellent open-air playing spaces to the warm, organised and approachable staff - Bright Horizons Holland Park is a real gem. Our son has been there for the last 4 years and recently graduated. From day 1, the staff led by a fantastic nursery manager and her excellent
deputy were so helpful with all aspects. The room leaders were truly brilliant from the baby room through to the brilliant leader in the pre-school room. But to be honest, every single member of staff was amazing. Our son grew to love going to nursery every day. The fantastic activities, the cheerful staff and the excellent continuity of care all helped. They did a truly amazing job during covid to keep things running and the kids happy. Recently they have introduced an app that is fantastic. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Until a recent move away, this nursery was a rock for our children, who attended for three or so years and six months, respectively. We would recommend it without a doubt. The manager and another member of staff were exceptional and always went above and beyond to help us. They also know how to have
a good time though, and I must give special credit to their dressing up skills! There are also some very special staff members at Bright Horizons Holland Park Day Nursery and Preschool who formed solid bonds with our children and made every day fun and worth going to nursery for. Our elder son in particular got some amazing support from his key person. To two members of staff in particular, and all the others, thank you so much. The activities they do every day are clearly varied and we could see it helps them in their development. There is also a comprehensive and very useful app-based system for following the children daily which means I can see regular photos of them in the setting. The catering was fresh and varied. If we still lived nearby, our kids would still be in this nursery!

Our kids (almost three and one years old) both enjoy going there and we can tell they have grown fond of the staff.

We are delighted with the whole team at Bright Horizons Holland Park. Our three-year-old daughter comes back home happy and her development is the best sign for us that she is happy at her nursery. We were worried at first as we moved from another country, but all the staff was super supportive. Their
professionalism and experience is obvious. Thank you everyone. Having an access to an outdoor space from each classroom is of huge importance as well and we are very happy with it.

Our children love Bright Horizons Holland Park - they are so happy there and their development has been amazing. The breadth of activities on offer is fantastic and the app allows you to have daily updates on what they’re doing. I love that they spend so much time outdoors and do a huge array of craft
activities, it’s brilliant and they love it too. The staff are attentive, engaged and enthusiastic - we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Particular thanks to certain staff, they’ve all been fantastic. (Our children have been there since 13 months and are now almost two).

We had an extremely positive experience at Bright Horizon Holland Park. Our 21 months daughter has been developing so much since she joined and she was running to go to the school in the afternoon saying us bye while running to join her amazing teacher and her colleagues. Our daughter's teacher has
done a fantastic job, developing her and making our daughter even more independent, happy and confident. The Manager of the school is also extremely nice and professional. We highly recommend the school. The only reason we are leaving is that we are leaving London but if we could, we would have to bring the school with us in our luggage!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.275)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.275) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Holland Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.969 for Bright Horizons Holland Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.969

  • 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 4.306 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Holland Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.8 = 0.506

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2018

I have been working in childcare for the past 10 years starting my career at the age of 19 in our Wandsworth branch. Since then I have had the pleasure of managing Chelsea Day Nursery and Active Learning Fulham. I have also got to experience two Ofsted inspections receiving a good and an outstanding.


I was born in Cyprus and lived there for 2 years, due to my father being in the British Army. I then moved to London and was raised in Chelsea barracks. My family is originally Irish but the majority of my family now lives in London. I have a great relationship with my family and love to spend time with them as much as I can. I started my carer wanting to be a paediatric nurse and completed my first year of training, however during my break, I took up a position at Wandsworth Day Nursery where I fell in love with Early Year.


I am very passionate about the children in my care and will always make decisions based on ‘will it benefit the children’. I also push my staff to the best of their ability, encouraging training and growth.
