Really pleased with our nursery choice for our 10-month-old child. Large indoor and outdoor space, tidy and organised, multiple activities supporting early stage learning and staff really take an interest in my child's development with a daily written review of what was done during the day. Would highly
recommend this nursery.

My child has been at the nursery for three months and she is very happy and settled. The carer knows her needs well and ensures this is all communicated. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly along with the very professional management team.

My two daughters both attend Active Learning and we really couldn't be happier with their experience there. My eldest has been there for nearly 4 years now. The educational environment and learning opportunities for the children are outstanding. Each child is really nurtured as an individual and provided
with a huge variety of activities for play and learning. All the members of staff there go above and beyond to provide a really caring environment for the children to thrive in. My eldest is leaving soon to start school and has had fantastic preparation there for the transition. I am very grateful for the opportunities she has had over the years that have helped her develop such an enthusiastic approach to learning. The staff there have really helped develop her self confidence. I would highly recommend Active Learning and am very glad that my youngest daughter will have the same opportunities there in the coming years.

Our son has been attending Active Learning nursery in Crouch End for almost three years and we have been consistently impressed with the quality of staff, their dedication and attention to our sons care, and learning. The facilities at the nursery are good and I cannot imagine a better setting as the
school is surrounded by green fields and nature. Perhaps the biggest surprise for us has been the diversity of learning- from very broad musical tuition to Spanish, Ballet, acting classes and arts and crafts, the school has provided a really outstanding platform for our Son's future education and we feel that he could not have had a better start. Thank you to ALL the staff for your constant care, love and attention to our sons every need.

I am very happy with Active Learning and my 15 month old son is thriving there. The staff were wonderful during his settling in and he quickly adapted. He now runs around at pick-up time and wants to show me everything he enjoys. He eats very well (though I don't allow him to have the puddings and cakes
on offer) and sleeps well too.

Our daughter have attended this nursery for just over a year. During that time we have watched her learn and develop wonderfully. The staff have always been nice and professional and we feel confident leaving her in their care. Something that we value highly.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have now had two children in Active Learning and can say that it is a safe, friendly and nurturing environment. Both of my children loved being there and were happy when I left them in the morning. My second child is never anxious to leave when I collect her. The range of activities that they put
on is fantastic: music and art start from early on, and the older children receive all of the provision that children in normal school receive.
The menus are good and can at times introduce children to new food, and are usually healthy and enticing. The staff are almost always well aware of how your child has done during the day and even tell you about new things your child has done.
The biggest drawback to the nursery is its staff turnover. Although many of the senior staff have been there for a long time, the support staff tend to move around a lot more, and at times the staff numbers can be a bit tight (though they are never below their stated ratios).

I am incredibly happy with this nursery, the base on a cricket pitch provides a lovely serene setting surrounded by green space; which the nursery uses well. The management are engaged, warm, personable and responsive and I feel they take the trouble to know my child individually. The food is freshly
prepared on site each day and I am in no doubt my child is well cared for. As a first time parent I was also reassured by the cctv access allowing me to log in and share some of her day when settling in initially.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Crouch End Fields 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.970 for Bright Horizons Crouch End Fields Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (326 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 Crouch End Fields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 28 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6, which has been reached with 28 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

I began my Bright Horizons journey in January 2016 as Room Leader at Active Learning West Hampstead and was promoted to Third in Charge shortly after. I have had experience working in all rooms across the nursery and helping to support room leaders to excel in their roles. I then transferred to Active Learning Crouch End in September 2018 after returning from maternity leave to start a new adventure as Deputy Manager.


I have had experience in many different senior roles such as being Room Leader, Third in Charge and Deputy Manager in other settings. I have also been the Lead SENCO in my past nurseries.


I am passionate about childcare and thrive on providing a safe, educational, home away from home environment where children can learn and develop whilst enjoying their time at nursery. I thoroughly enjoy my interactions with children and will often be found with a group participating in an activity, whilst supporting and motivating my staff team in providing exceptional experiences for the children within our care.
