Asquith Surbiton Day Nursery & Preschool provides excellent care for our daughter. The preschool staff team, along with the management team, have created a friendly, fun environment in which our daughter is flourishing. The activities provided, from science, numeracy, and literacy to cooking, singing
and art is well thought out and inspiring. Over the last 6 months, we have been very impressed by the newly established preschool staff team, who each bring unique skills to the classroom, and the overall management of the nursery.

What a transformation Carlie has made! We’ve gone from planning to take our eldest daughter out to feeling really happy with how things are going and ready to start settling our youngest daughter in. The preschool children are learning a lot and seem to really enjoy it. My daughter astounded us by reciting
the Greek numbers up to 10. Something we cannot even get close to doing ourselves. Added extras like this have really renewed our confidence. The new team in place of temps are also really good and the consistency has really benefited Arabella. We don’t have anymore tears at drop off. Thank you!

My son settled into the nursery very easily 3 and a half years ago and has been happy and had lovely carers throughout his stay. His allergies were catered to and now he has outgrown them. The communal meals with his peers have helped him incorporate the previously forbidden foods into his diet really
well - much better than at home! He has been well prepared for starting school, we're really surprised and impressed by his ability to read easy words and do basic sums.

Our daughter attends pre-school full time. She is often one of the last to be picked up and I still have trouble getting her out of the building; she enjoys it so much she's not ready to go home. To me, this is a testament to the fantastic care that she receives. I've seen Asquith Surbiton Day Nursery
& Pre-school go from strength to strength, especially in the past year. The management team has taken advantage of local amenities, introducing new activities such as Forest School (which she loved) and trips to the Rose Theatre. The back garden is amazing; there's much emphasis on outdoor play and connecting with nature (such as growing their own vegetables). She's always well fed and the food is delicious (I've tried it). Finally, the quality of the care and teaching that our daughter receives by all staff is excellent. My daughter has formed great relationships with many members of staff, and it's obvious they genuinely care about her. I would recommend without hesitation.

My son has been attending Surbiton Day Nursery in the toddler room since January this year and we have been very impressed with the care he has received and with the nursery in general. The management team are great - they are very efficient, helpful, friendly, and welcoming and have always taken an
active interest in my son's wellbeing. The nursery staff directly looking after my son on a daily basis are fantastic and have gone out of their way to help my son settle in and enjoy his days at the nursery. They provide thorough feedback at the end of each day and are genuinely interested in my son's development. Most telling is that my son himself loves the nursery and the staff and thoroughly enjoys and looks forward to going to nursery. The garden is fantastic and I love that they spend a lot of time outside.

My son has attended Asquith Surbiton Day Nursery for 2.5 years and absolutely loves it. At each stage from baby room to pre-school, he has thrived due to the care and attention he has received. The Nursery staff are all friendly and helpful and the management team are approachable and always available
for a chat. The recent leadership change has I feel improved the nursery even more with new initiates such as Forest School and a lending library being introduced. Lastly, the environment is always clean and tidy and the amazing garden space is a brilliant area for the children to both learn and let
Off some steam. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking at childcare options.

Both of my children are at the nursery.
They do so many activities, in the nursery and out, from going to Forrest school the theatre, trips to the park to see the ducks and the local library.
They have had the opportunity to meet the police, their dogs even a police horse visited them! Ambulance staff,
dentist, they have so much to tell me about when they come home!


Both our girls love going in in the mornings and they adore their workers, who give them lots of love and cuddles. Even though they have a group of children to look after have very special relationships with them.


They eat better at nursery than they do at home! With the daily freshly prepared meals and sleep well at nap time.


When there is a query about something, the team are very approachable and professional in their responses.


I have been so impressed and happy with the experience, and have recommended to our friends who are pregnant.
Keep up the good work and thank you so much for looking after our girls so well!

My daughter has been very happy at Surbiton Day nursery and we have been extremely impressed by the whole set-up. The enthusiastic staff create a caring, nurturing and happy environment for the children and tailor activities to focus on each individual child's interests and development needs.
There
is a real focus on learning through play and I have been very impressed with the way the pre-school team are preparing the children in advance of their transition to school in September.
The garden is amazing and the children get lots of outdoor play time in all seasons.
There are plenty of opportunities for the children to enjoy experiences outside of the nursery setting - my daughter loves her weekly visits to Forest school and regular trips to the Rose Theatre.
Overall we have had an extremely positive experience and would highly recommend Surbiton Day Nursery.

We have been delighted with the progress that our children have made at nursery in such a caring environment. They love going thanks to the care and attention that goes into running the nursery, from the Management through to the staff looking after the children on a day-to-day basis. The catering is
excellent due to the fantastic kitchen team, who often work with the children to make food together. We have always been so impressed with the time taken to manage the individual needs of the child, whether it be related to dietary requirements or learning outcomes. All the staff are hugely dedicated and cheerful and create many initiatives which are very popular amongst the children, such as the introduction of the Forest School in the Pre-School Room, or the Committee Board in the Nursery Room. The way in which Pre-School children (and parents!) are being supported with the transition to primary is particularly impressive. It is a great place for our children's early years!

Our family's experience of the Surbiton Nursery has been overwhelmingly positive. My daughter settled well in the baby room and has now progressed through all of the rooms over the years. The staff are knowledgeable and have supported my husband and I through the challenges of first-time parenthood
from sleep training, progressing to her 'big girl bed', potty training and more. But what stands out for me is the genuine care and desire to support the development of the children. Asides from having Mary Poppins on site, I'm not sure I could ask for much more.

Even in winter staff continue to take the children out into the garden as much as possible, often several times in the day. The outdoor equipment is excellent enabling the children to develop imaginative play.

Out little girl has a wonderful time at the nursery. The staff are wonderful and caring. The garden space is great and there are loads of activities.
Food quality is okay and recently improved. The nursery is a bit expensive compared with competition though it operates early start and late pick-up.

Outstanding nursery. Our daughter feels very happy, exciting and engaged with everyone there. The activities are fantastic and every member of staff is friendly, caring and professional. It's been wonderful to see our daughter prosper under the staff at Asquiths. The extra activities such as the Christmas

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Surbiton 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.917 for Bright Horizons Surbiton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.688 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Surbiton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.688

  • 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.
