  • 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.

I was so happy and relieved to see how well my son settled in to this nursery - I strongly believe this is due to the excellent welcoming staff.

My child has always been encouraged by staff in communicating and developing. In less than one year my child's language, social and emotional skills have got so much better. Staff and facilities are brilliant. Putting my child in this nursery has been brilliant and I can see it in her progress made.

My son has been coming here since he was 2 years old and I have seen a lot of difference in him. He has become confident and communicates a lot. He has also some good manners.
All the credit goes to the lovely teachers, staff and not to forget staff on office.

My son started off in the baby room and has moved up into preschool. He has progressed well and has well developed language skills.


He has made friends and the staff have been very supportive. My son has always been a fussy eater at home, but at the nursery/preschool, he eats well with the other

children which has been great.


I would highly recommend.

Excellent care from staff and management who have given my son individual attention, support and care since he started there eight months ago. He has learnt to eat well with a spoon himself, sit patiently at meal times, learn to follow instructions etc - all through these interactions with the other
children and carers.
Management communicate well with parents - through the regular newsletters, updates and emails. The recent fee review (which resulted in a decrease in rates!) was also gratefully received and has won a lot of goodwill from parents as the nursery has demonstrated that the children and families wellbeing is at the centre of its philosophy.

Best place I could ever choose for my little boy. English is not his first language, but with staff support, he is improving really well. The staff are really nice and supportive and management is the best I could ever see.

The nursery has a very warm and welcoming ambience. The staff from day one until the end of the 8 weeks settling were very supportive, proactive and caring.


This place and its people are now a second home to my child. I am in debt to the staff. From nappy change to feeding, the staff gives personalised

care. They know how to make my son happy. Thank you so much.

My daughter has easily settled in this lovely nursery with a family feel to it and she loves it. Every time I pick her up I find her relaxed and smiling. She clearly receives all the care and cuddles much needed to a 7-month-old baby.


The staff are very kind and it is really nice, even to just have

a chat with them.


Management I find really excellent too, very professional, but also personable. Everyone is very knowledgeable too and provides good baby advice.

This is the best place I could send my child to. Awesome care and affection.


My son has changed so much due to the way he has been handled here - he was always given so much affection, care and he learnt so much. Everybody here is lovely, wish my son could stay here more.

Over the past four years, I have been so pleased with the nursery and how my daughter has progressed.
She has learnt a lot and built many friendships.
The foundation she has been given will definitely help her in her transition to school.

It was a wonderful experience to see my daughter grow and learn during her time at Kenton Nursery. The staff and ambiance are really nice and they always helped to sort out our requests.
We will cherish the pre-school memories for a long time.

Excellent child care. I will recommend this nursery to family and friends. The staff is very caring. My daughter has formed a very good bond with staff and other children. She has learnt a lot there and loves going to the nursery.
The story, rhyme, circle time is very helpful education:- she counts
numbers, basic letters and overall is developing her personality with the help of staff.
I was at peace at work when I leave my daughter there.

The staff in the nursery are marvellous. My son has been at the nursery since he was 6months old.
He settled in quite nicely, now at 18months old he is always excited to be at the nursery.
Being my first child, they were able to help me settle in as well. Trust me the settling in session is also
for mothers also.
A job well done.

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.
