I cannot recommend Bright Horizon Bank Street Day Nursery and Preschool highly enough! From day one, I felt confident that my children were in the safest and most nurturing hands. The staff are wonderful-caring, supportive, and treat the children like family.
What truly stands out is their focus on
development and learning. The nursery offers a wide range of activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play, sensory sessions, and early literacy and numeracy exercises. These activities have helped my children grow in confidence, communication, and social skills.
Every day, my kids come home excited to share what they've learned and the fun they've had. The staff's dedication to creating a safe, happy, and stimulating environment has made such a positive impact on our family.
Thank you, Bank Street Bright Horizon for providing my children with a second home where they are safe, loved, and thriving!

My son attends this nursery and they have been wonderful in accommodating for him. They make everything extra special, they put so much effort into his activities and ensure he gets a wide variety of experiences. I am really grateful for the care and attention my son gets from Bright Horizons Bank Street.
His key worker is very well experienced and they are working hard to develop him everyday. I feel comfortable and confident leaving my baby in their care.

Highly recommended.
My son was originally at another nursery but I was continually frustrated at their deficiencies. Looking at multiple Bright Horizons, Bright Horizons Bank Street Day Nursery and Preschool felt different which was why we ended up choosing it. What an excellent decision that was!
What
worries I had about the lack of outdoor space were quickly assuaged when I saw the daily updates of the trips to the park and Canary Warf in general.
The staff have created a really wonderful space for the kids. My 2-year-old literally runs to the front door of Bright Horizons Bank at every morning (he did not do this for his other nursery ).
I am delighted by what a good time my son is having here and by how much he is learning. Every day it is a new word, song or silly move. I only wished I had sent him here from the start!

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

Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that choosing Bright Horizons Bank Street was such a positive decision for your son. It's fantastic to know he enjoys his time at the nursery and looks forward to coming every day. We appreciate your recognition of our staff and their efforts to create a wonderful environment as well as our outdoor activities. Thank you for highly recommending us!

The fabulous team at Bright Horizons Bank Street Day Nursery and Preschool has made our toddler's recent transfer so welcoming. I was really nervous about the big change and with timings being challenging, I had my concerns. However, the team went above and beyond to accommodate us and my child is so
happy there now - it's hard to believe I ever worried!
The food always seems delicious and healthy and they do a wide range of activities, including creative indoor projects and regular excursions around Canary Wharf. Despite not having private outdoor space, the team takes the children out daily, giving them the chance to explore different areas instead of the same space every day.
They also strike a great balance between providing updates via the app and not being on devices constantly to achieve this.
Overall, it's been a fantastic experience - I can highly recommend to any parent.

I wanted to express my appreciation for the wonderful nursery that has played such a significant role in my daughter's growth journey. The branch is managed very professionally, and the team there is exceptional. They pay careful attention to all the details and observe our kids attentively. The level

My son has settled really well into Bright Horizons at Bank Street and much of that owes to the loving and patient staff. He definitely looks forward to going to school every morning (even though at times it's sad for me to see him go off with his teachers without much hesitation) and it definitely
helps us focus at work, knowing that he is in good hands. The regular updates on the app help us keep up with his day-to-day development and definitely helps with our fear of missing out on his milestones. I would highly recommend the nursery to any prospective parents.

Our child loves going to the nursery every morning and seeing his friends and teachers. His mobility, interactions and daily walks around the Wharf have really helped his development. Additionally, the teachers ensure an almost daily update of our child's activities and behaviours. Finally, the daily
healthy meal plan is brilliant (especially for working parents!). Would recommend right Horizons Bank Street Day Nursery and Preschool.

My son has been with the nursery for almost a year and he has made tremendous amounts of progress in every aspect. He was a bit slow to talk initially and the fact that we spoke a different language at home obviously didn't help, but since he's attended nursery, he started to speak both of the languages
much better and more actively and has become properly bilingual. The staff made dedicated efforts to help kids with different language backgrounds, which we really appreciate. Every week we find that he's learned something new. The staff are always so cheerful, friendly and supportive and our son has developed really deep and trustful relationships with the team in his room (that he cries when he knows he will move to a new room as he grows). He also quite likes the food there. We are very happy with the nursery.

I have three children who currently attend the nursery, all starting at six months of age from March 2019 onwards. I am extremely happy with the levels of care and learning they get across all of the rooms, and I find the staff to be very kind and nurturing. The management team are incredibly responsive
and supportive of anything I need for the children.

I am very thankful to Bank Street Nursery staff. They are very caring and great professionals and helped my son to settle very quickly. My son has a strong personality and I was afraid that it might be difficult for him to settle into a new nursery, but he loves this nursery and asks me to bring him
to nursery on weekends too! This never happened before.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.312)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.312) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bank Street 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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 4.952 for Bright Horizons Bank Street Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.952

  • 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 4.36 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bank Street 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.66

  • 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.
