Our son has thrived at Asquith Kew Day Nursery & Pre-school. Arriving as a baby with separation anxiety he has transformed into a confident, articulate (for his age!), dextrous toddler who is curious about everything around him and loves making new friends.
All staff members are attentive and personable
and as a parent you know they have a genuine interest in your child's welfare. Any issues with children or between children are resolved swiftly, calmly and patiently. The facilities are great with big gardens and spacious rooms creating an imaginative, stimulating and safe environment. Our son has loved his time here and we would recommend Asquith Kew Day Nursery to any parent.

The nursery and pre-school staff have been amazing with both my children and helping them to settle, grow and enjoy their time. They have also helped settle my fears at leaving my children. I am very grateful and would highly recommend the staff here.

Our daughter loves it at Asquith Kew Day Nursery & Pre-School. She seems to come home having learnt something new every day. She's made so many friends and talks about them all the time. The staff are caring and kind. They nurture our daughter and keep her interested for the whole day. They regularly
came up with clever and innovative ways to teach the kids the basics and the nursery is an ideal preparation for big school.

A great warm welcoming nursery. My son is very happy when going and I know he is well looked after. The staff are great at dropoff always asking how he is and at pickup telling me all about his day.


I like that the nursery has dedicated outdoor areas for each age group and my son has a selection

of quality resources to choose from including wheeled toys, playhouses and much more.

My son joined Asquith recently from another nursery with settling in brought forward unexpectedly. The staff could not have done more to help my son settle and reassure me on his wellbeing. We are extremely happy with the nursery and could not have asked for a more supportive environment during this
transition stage.

Absolutely superb nursery - I highly recommend it. Since my son attended at the age of two, he has grown and learnt so much. The staff genuinely care about the children and form a good bond with them. They have good routines and the settling in sessions are a really good way to ease the children into
starting nursery. Pre-school class has really prepared him for starting school and has made him more confident.

We attended my son's preschool graduation in July at Asquith Kew and we were very impressed with the organisation and thoughtfulness of the staff on the day.
They made each child feel extra special and comfortable in front of the crowd of parents and relatives. We were all very happy and emotional
and I will have a lasting memory of our sons time at Kew Day Nursery.
My son started at the nursery age 1 and the staff have become a second family to him.
My son loves the staff and I know the exceptionally caring staff love him too.
Thank you for providing a nurturing and supportive environment for him to grow and become the confident boy he is.

The nursery provides very good care to my son, the teachers and carers are very cooperative and empathetic with the different situations.
They show care, professionalism and understanding, as well as love and responsibility towards my son.
I'd definitely recommend the nursery to others.

Very good nursery, great garden and amazing staff.
My son can't wait to get to nursery every day.
The staff are kind and warm, really care about the children with great activities.
Only thing needing improvement, is it would be great to have trips outside of the nursery.

The staff at Kew are absolutely terrific. The rooms are full of different activities to do and the kids do things like finger painting and glueing from an early age. My son really enjoys coming to the nursery (he's been here for just over 4 months) and loves the food they give him too. It's lovely to
read the monthly newsletters and go to their open days to see what they have been doing. The garden or outdoor space is great for exploring and role-playing too. Very happy with this nursery!

The staff at Asquith Kew Day Nursery & Pre-School are just brilliant - so caring and kind, very knowledgeable about children's development and incredibly supportive of parents. My son attends full time and has an absolute blast every day. The staff offer as many settling sessions as children (or parents)
need and their key worker system helps children feel easily at home. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Kew 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 4.8 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 4.900 for Bright Horizons Kew Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.9

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Kew 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.833

  • 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.
