My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Nursery for a few months, and she absolutely loves it! The team is incredible, creating a loving and nurturing environment where children thrive.
They offer a great variety of fun activities that keep the kids engaged and learning. Communication
with parents is excellent, making us feel involved and reassured. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

My son has been at Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool for around 8 months now and he absolutely loves it!
He started at around 11 months old and he has settled really well and quite happily goes in for the day smiling at all the staff!
I absolutely love the under 2's team and
they are all so friendly and informative of how his day has been every time I go in there to pick him up.
The app for Beaufort is also super useful as I can see what he is eating, how long he is sleeping for etc and they upload pictures most days of activities that he is doing! My son also started to have a bit of an intolerance to milk so I informed the nursery and straight away they ensured that his dietary requirements were adhered to.
The whole team at Beaufort are all so friendly and welcoming and I feel very comfortable leaving my son there 5 days a week as he is learning a lot and I know he is well looked after!

My daughter attended Bright Horizons a couple of years ago and now my 2-year-old son is attending. The staff are fantastic. They enable the children to grow, to care, to learn and they instill the values that as parents we work towards teaching them. The senior management are absolutely delightful.
They
are efficient, friendly and even though they are super busy always take time to greet the children and parents and no question to them is ever an issue. The atmosphere in the nursery is amazing and fun.
I haven't had one single worry or doubt about sending my two children here from the moment we walked through the door.
Both children equally have never cried going in and talking about their days with such happiness and positivity. I think the management office has amazing leadership skills that shine through to the whole team.
I haven't named the teachers as too many to mention but I truly think each of them is wonderful and doing a fantastic job.
From one very happy mum (and dad too).

Really impressed by the level of care the teachers have shown to my child. Have been with them since my son was 1 and now he's turning 3. The level of dedication that the teachers have is incredible. My son forged genuine relationship with each of his teachers. When asked who he wanted to invite to
his birthday part, my son actually named seven teachers over his classmates! Everything, from diet to activities, Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool has exceeded my expectations.

I love the way they care about my baby and all the activities that they plan in advance. They provide a large variety of food (my baby eats everything).
Just with the simple fact that once she is in the nursery she runs inside with a big smile, makes me feel happy and I can go to work without any worries.

I highly recommend sending your child here! We've had our daughter here since she was just 12 months and within a week of being here she was walking. You really can't put a price on how much the staff do for them and the skills they help to develop. The biggest thing for me is the genuine care and strong
relationship they have formed with her.

I can not thank all the staff at Beaufort Park enough! We moved to the area not long ago and it was time for our son to start nursery, but the ladies at the nursery made the experience lighter for us. The communication is excellent. Daily updates and seeing our son happy make it easier (as we all know
separation can be hard) but we trust the team 100%! They are caring, engaged and dedicated. We are so happy that we found this nursery.

The job of all the teachers there is just amazing. The managers in the office are so helpful and always doing their best for the great solution, sometimes last minute.
My daughter, she loves all of them, of course, she has her favourite but the way she has been developing and learning in the last few
months was just incredible. The team in her group are very supportive, doesn't matter if your kid came happy or crying, they are always there for them! My daughter, she feels they're very good. Every day, when we are leaving, she gives cuddles to each one separately. Thank you to all the team.

Our child is going to the nursery three times per week which works for all of us. But when I read what kids were doing on the other two days, I am getting 'jealous' that my child is missing these activities. It just means that every single day in our nursery is so interesting, developing and kids just
have fun in parallel with learning new skills, new things in life.
Just want to say a big thank you to all the amazing team in Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool.

I can’t recommend Bright Horizons enough. They really went above and beyond with your son.
The nursery helped a lot with my son's settling in. They went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and safe. He did not speak English, and the team did the best they could to understand him and help
him communicate.
The space is very nice for learning and playing. My son loved the outdoors area.
Also, the staff are amazing. Every day all the staff would greet us with a big smile.
They are friendly, respectful, and always willing to help. We now moved out of London one of the teachers gave my son friends forever matching bracelets, it was so beautiful.
The meals are truly amazing. They update the app every day with what activities they will be doing, learning topics, pictures and thoughtful development progress check-ins.
I highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you for all that you did with my son. Huge call out to one staff member and all her support and the two staff from Preschool.

This nursery is a great nursery. It has allowed our daughter to confidently grow since being born in Covid lockdown. She has shown skills from early, which are expected to show later in life. Her speech is grown nicely, her motor skills, social skills and her understanding of yes and no, was developed
very early due to the great staff teaching at his nursery. It has been a pleasure and a great decision to bring our daughter to this nursery, the management has no faults, and the staff has no faults. Always a pleasant atmosphere when dropping off our little one or picking her up. They accommodate every child nicely, which also helps with our learning at home. One of the best things that is great is the notes that are left within the app about very specified achievements and acknowledges every special detail and every special little aspect of our child’s day at nursery. It gives us a big heads up on how we go about our daily routines in the evening. Thank you to this nursery.

This is an excellent nursery. We are happy that we chose this nursery. My son has flourished there and is getting a good start in life! He’s learning lots at nursery and they have lots of activities and lots of fun. He is always happy when he is met at the door by one of the staff and we always pick
him up with a smile on his face. The staff are always friendly and approachable; my son loves them all! The activities planned are always based around a theme and they extend the children’s knowledge and skills. The admin team are also incredibly helpful too. It is a warm and friendly environment and the manager, is excellent. I’m really impressed with the nursery and my son loves it there!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.603)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.603) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 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 4.686 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Beaufort Park Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 14 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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.4 = 0.686

  • 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.
