  • Bright Horizons Kenton Day Nursery and Preschool, Harrow
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.

It is a very nurturing place for my child to grow and develop. The teachers are friendly and supportive. My child has always felt welcomed at the nursery. It is very culturally enriching as it observes all kind of faiths and celebrations throughout the year. It encourages your child to learn and know
about the world around them as well as how to communicate and be kind to others.

My son joined the baby room at 11 months and is now in preschool. My daughters who now attend school in years 1 and 3, also joined from the nursery room so I have been with the nursery for many years. I have had a really amazing experience. Each of my children have enjoyed their experience and I feel,
show clear development during their time there. Some activities, like cooking which each of my girls loved, have had to be taken away by covid but equally, the nursery has created a really great learning experience during these difficult times. Really lovely staff and would definitely highly recommend it.

As every parent experiences, we too were anxious about our one-year-old starting nursery. However, the staff at Bright Horizons Kenton truly care and make the settling-in process as pleasant as possible. Thereafter, our little man has only thrived. He only goes nursery for two days but he has learnt
to play and eat independently. Most importantly, he enjoys the company of his key person. I have no qualms in recommending this nursery to others.

The nursery have been fantastic with welcoming the children back after COVID closure and went the extra mile to help the children settle in by sharing photos of the staff with their masks on ahead of opening which was welcome. My son joined the nursery in the baby room and has now graduated from the
preschool room and the staffing and nursery have been excellent with the range of food menus, extra settling in, frequent updates with key people and I have seen my son grow into a very talkative and confident boy. Great nursery and thanks very much.

Both my husband and I are extremely impressed with the staff at the nursery. We are also extremely happy with how our daughter has developed from first attending the baby room to now be transitioning to the toddler room. The planned activities of fun playtime, inclusive of garden time, are very impressive.
I have recommended the nursery to all parents I meet as we believe it is outstanding.

Moving to London and finding a new nursery was such a worry for my husband and I. Bright Horizons have me as much time as I needed to feel comfortable regardless of how quick my son settled in. This was a great start to our journey together. The focus that was put into my son straight away was reflected
in his listening skills, behaviour, manners and most of all, speech. We couldn't be happier with our choice of placement. Our son is blossoming thanks to the staff's focus.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Kenton (formally Asquith) since she was 13 months. With a struggled start, we have seen her grow and develop in so many ways. The staff have been fantastic in supporting her to build her confidence. As she approaches the end of her time at the nursery,
we reflect on the fantastic journey she has been through from baby room to preschool. Staff are always engaging and pleasant. Since the manager has joined, we have seen some positive changes and appreciate the team's effort that goes into all the daily activities. This nursery has left a lasting impression on us.

It is clear to see (and experience) the amount of investment that the manageress has made to improve the facilities at the nursery and the learning environment and activities. The preschool and nursery closely follow the early years curriculum, making sure the kids learning and development is rich and
varied. I am very grateful for the focus they have given to the preschool children in terms of preparing them for school. I also appreciate the focus on safety and teaching this to the children too. The only one improvement would be to have parents evenings or something equivalent and more reports i.e. on a term by term basis so we can work with the nursery to develop our child.

This nursery has been the best place so far. I couldn't have asked for any more when it comes to the kind of care they provide to the kids. I have seen my son grow exponentially in terms of learning.
Thank you for all the effort you put in to keep the kids well and happy.

My daughter has been attending since she was 17 months old. She has become a confident girl and has shown us she is ready for reception. She has learnt a lot and built many friendships. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Pre-school learning is excellent, my daughter is able to read and write.
We will miss everyone dearly, thanking all the staff for looking after our daughter from the baby room to pre-school.

The learning environment is excellent.
I have read information displayed around the nursery regarding sensory play at the nursery.
This is an excellent opportunity
for the children attending the nursery for their development while exploring the world through sensory play.

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.
