Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool is based in a lovely converted house with close proximity to the Bakerloo and Metropolitan Tube lines.

The baby room contains a stimulating sensory area, books, singing and storytime. In the toddler room, children enjoy using the indoor slide to develop balance and coordination skills.

In the brightly-coloured nursery room, children are encouraged to gain independence, with all aspects of learning covered in an exciting way.
A qualified preschool teacher plans the day's activities in the preschool room and children are invited to make their own decisions to gain independence and confidence.

There will be lots of fun activities for everyone as they have developed a new wildflower garden, separate baby gardens, mud kitchen, Sandpit, digging patch and vegetable garden… not to mention the new climbing frames that will be great for exploring.

In the time my daughter has attended nursery here, I have been nothing but delighted with the quality of service we have received, as well as with the standard of care my daughter has enjoyed. I have noticed a marked improvement in many aspects of her development, as well as in her interactions with
other children. Communication has been excellent and information on the contents of the curriculum, as well as how the children benefit from each activity, has been readily available. They have also been able to provide regular photographs of my daughter enjoying herself, as well as updates and observations on her individual progress from the staff. This is done through their app, which is very easy to set up and use. On a personal level, I would also like to state what a pleasure it has been interacting with the nursery manager and other staff. They have always been understanding and accommodating of any issues that have arisen. I could not be more impressed with the service provided.

Our son is 2.5 years old and he has been in the toddler's room for 2 weeks now and we are very confident of our choice of school. We just moved to the country, and everything is new to us all, especially for him, who is starting to speak his mother language, he never heard English and just arrived in
town. Meanwhile, the manager was very receptive to making his settling-in and welcome comfortable. She tried to conciliate the 2-week settling routine with our customs/wishes and schedules. In the end, he only had 2/3 days of settling and everything went so well and smoothly from then on. It is clear he is feeling at home, he goes and comes home really happy, and he seems to bond with his key worker who is very lovely, and all of that is a relief in the middle of all the changes.
I like the accurate detailed feedback about the day that is given when I pick him up.
I love following everything through and checking the photos in the app and the kind of wonderful activities they do.

As a parent, I was initially sceptical about leaving my firstborn with anyone, let alone at nursery, by the end of her first couple of settling-in days all my worries were put to rest.
We were greeted with warmth and professionalism, the staff members created a welcoming atmosphere that put both children
and parents at ease.
Two members of staff in particular have been instrumental in making my child’s time at nursery an absolute joy, so much so to the point where if she were given the choice to stay she probably would. Their professionalism is truly commendable, to connect with children on a personal level, they are both assets to the organisation.
I was impressed by the varied range of activities, from arts and crafts to exploring the world around them, developing social interaction and verbal communication through various songs, games and play.
Overall I cannot recommend this nursery enough, my initial scepticism was replaced by the appreciation, dedication and care of the whole team.

Our son started here when he was 17 months and left aged 4 for reception. The staff at each stage have been kind, caring, approachable and polite; going the extra mile for him. In the toddler's room one staff member worked with us to potty train our son making it all easy and seamless. A special thank
you to a staff member in Preschool for going above and beyond for our son during his time at preschool. Her inclusive approach and persistence with regular feedback helped to resolve the reluctance our little boy had with taking part in preschool activities. The preschool staff made a tremendous effort and put on a spectacular event for their graduation, the memories of which I will cherish forever. His experience at Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool has made him a confident boy ready for school. The Bright Horizons app is easy to use and a great way to communicate with the nursery with appropriate and comprehensive feedback. Do not hesitate in sending your child to Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool.

Thank you for a great review. It is lovely to read how supportive the nursery has been throughout your son's journey. We wish him all the best at 'Big School'.

My twins have been attending since the baby room and are now in the preschool room. They have loved going to nursery since day one. The keyworkers that they have had have been brilliant, they get to know them so well and really take care of them. I have never once worried about leaving them there.
The
activities have been really well rounded and sometimes at home they come out with some really funny phrases or sentences which they must have learned from nursery.
They are always happy to go in and come home with big smiles on their faces.
I’ve been kept up to date with their learning journey through the app and have been given oral feedback too.
My two seem to eat every mouthful at nursery (and get extra whenever they want) from a really varied menu, they learn about good food choices and what is healthy for their body - they are at a stage now where they tell me about their learning and it’s very cute.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic. All the staff are engaging and more than happy to help and you can see the kids just love being there. My little one started in the baby room and progressed to the toddler room and he has learnt so much and just seems so happy to go every day. What more could you

My daughter joined when we moved to the area and she was 19 months old. She was previously at another nursery, which she loved and yet the transition was relatively smooth. She is now in the toddler group, which she is more than excited to go to every day. The teachers are experienced, caring and communicative.
Through the Bright Horizons app, we know a lot about what goes on during her day and can also share what we are doing with her at home. I know she loves the activities, facilities and outdoor space and she eats better at nursery than at home! For us, it has been a very positive experience for our child to be at Bright Horizons, Kenton.

Both of my daughters have been attending Bright Horizon’s in Kenton since they were 1 years old (now 3.5 and almost 2 years old) and we are all extremely happy! I cannot fault the nursery at all. They keep me well informed about what my daughters have been up to via the app which I have found very useful.
I particularly enjoy their latest updates on the app where they make an “observation” of your child, which shows a task that they are taking part in, with pictures and notes to explain. The food variety that they offer is also great and my children are always well fed when they are at nursery. Even at pick up time the staff still update me on any specifics that have happened on the day which is really nice and my daughters really enjoy spending time with their key workers and other staff members. Overall, I would definitely recommend this nursery and look forward to when we can go back into the nursery to collect my daughters and get a chance to see them in action in class!

My two children are extremely happy and settled at this nursery. The staff are really caring and attentive, my children have a great relationship with the staff. The children engage in a range of activities throughout the day, which as a parent, we are able to see using the app. I am really pleased
with the nurturing environment the nursery has provided for my children and has provided them with the foundations they need at this age.

My son was moved from Northwick Park to Kenton in November 2021. The change over went very smoothly, all the staff supported him in his transition. The manager's communication is A*, always greets every parent at the door, gives thorough updates and is always supportive. The staff in the pre-toddler
room have been exceptional with supporting my son through his speech. The app that Kenton Nursery use, has been so good and reliable, which enables us to have speedy collections. I am very pleased with the nursery and happy my son has got to experience such a fantastic setting.

I am extremely happy with my son's progress from the time he joined after lockdown, to date. We see lots of developments and improvements in his behaviour and he has learned a lot in terms of acknowledging things, safety, behaviour, emotions and improvement in communication as well. We still expect
some more development in certain areas of food intake, details about activities in preschool and expect from staff to publish photos and videos on the app so we can actually see them inside. But overall we are very happy with the nursery.

My son started at the nursery when he was 16 months old. The long settling in period was very useful as my son found it difficult to settle initially. The staff in all the rooms do an amazing job and look after the children very well. The Nursery Manager is very helpful and is happy to give advice on
any issues children might be experiencing. She provides regular email updates on what the children have been up to in the different rooms. My son had a good time at the Nursery and fondly remembers his time there, now that he is in school.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.872) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Kenton 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.931 for Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 3.941 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.341

  • 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.
