Our son has been at Bright Horizons since January and we couldn't be happier with it, we expected him to have an initial struggle settling in as is the norm but he settled in so easily and immediately reaches his hands out for the staff when he sees them, this is so reassuring for us. We can't fault
the nursery for anything and are so pleased with our choice

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that your son settled in so quickly and feels comfortable with our team. It's wonderful to know you feel reassured and pleased with your choice.

As a first time mum, Bexleyheath bright horizons has made me feel confident in leaving my little girl. She has started in baby care and I must say the girls have been nothing but brilliant!! I'm a very anxious mum but they send me photos when my baby is there showing me she is having cuddles and overall
a lovely time. The first are so understanding with me, and go above and beyond.

My son has attended the nursery setting since January 2022 and is now graduating from preschool. The nursery has been a wonderful setting for my son to attend over the years. The nursery benefits from a wonderful and large garden space which the staff make good use of and the children enjoy their time
in the garden. My son always enjoys the food, which is made fresh in the on-sure kitchen. The management and staff are professional and attentive and my son has enjoyed his time at the nursery, and as a family we are very happy.

I'm writing this because it's not often people take the time to show how grateful they are and to recognise such professionalism, compassion and even more acts of kindness in so many ways.
My 12-month-old recently started nursery and I understand, for many parents, this can be daunting. I genuinely
thought my daughter would settle in without fuss but she's finding it harder than most.
What can I say, I have been absolutely blown away by the amount of support everyone has given us, from the nursery staff in her room to the cook and entire management team.
I have every confidence my daughter is being nurtured and loved which is priceless. It's people like all of you who make such an impact, in big ways, in small ways, in every single way... You take the time to go out of your way to brighten the lives of others. You are just all incredible.

A great nursery! My son is super happy here. He has an eating problem and all the staff have been so supportive and understanding. They are very patient with him and really make my little boy happy.
I would highly recommend this nursery. The management is also great, any issues/queries I have had got
taken seriously and they communicate really well with me, also with each other and their staff.

Amazing nursery! I have two daughters that attend this provision and I am very happy with their development and progress. The staff work extremely hard and the proof is in the quality of the children's progress. I shout about how great this nursery is whenever and wherever I can because they are simply
outstanding!
My area for improvement would perhaps be something along the lines of exposing the children to the teachings of other languages (this is in order to make this feedback well-rounded). I have seen the demonstrations and teachings of other religions, cultures and celebrations which I was really impressed with - perhaps that could go a little further with basic teachings of other languages etc. just to keep the children informed of all the differences amongst their peers.
I am very happy with this nursery and I can assure you that you will be too.

Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled with your daughters' development and progress. Your suggestion to introduce other languages is appreciated. Thank you for your recommendation.

All the staff at Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool are friendly and welcoming, I'm confident when leaving my daughter there that she is well looked after. One of my biggest worries about sending my child to nursery was staff not having the time to always pick my daughter up when
she cried but all the staff at Bright Horizons are very attentive/responsive to the children's physical and emotional needs. My daughter has settled in well at the nursery and enjoys spending time there.

Both of my daughters attend the nursery, they are 1 and 3 years old. We like everything about it, the setting is lovely, quiet area and big garden. The staff are all great, they are lovely and very helpful and both our daughters find themselves very happy attending. The food, in particular, is one of
the favourites of both of them, nice and healthy.

Wonderful nursery! My daughter is really happy here and the staff are lovely and genuinely care about the children.
My daughter has an allergy and they do a great job of managing that and keeping her safe.
I am also pleased with the daily updates we receive via the app. It’s lovely to have visibility
of what the children get up to during the day.
I highly recommend this nursery.

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons highly enough. Our son has been attending since he turned 1 and has loved every minute of it for the past 3 years. Our daughter is due to join soon and I feel so confident in the team their abilities to care for and look after my children. The staff are so friendly
and welcoming. They've made me and my whole family feel so loved and supported through this stage of our children's lives.

My son has been attending since mid-2022 and in that time has moved from the Toddlers to the 2-3 room.
We knew straight away on visiting the setting that this is where we would be sending our son, our tour impressed us so much both in terms of facilities, plans and curriculum. We had seen a few other
places but the facilities here are spacious, well-decorated and the staff are experienced and friendly. One of the largest garden spaces we had seen locally.
In addition, they have been excellent with managing his dietary needs, as he has a number of allergies. I find the staff to all be enthusiastic and happy to be there, which to me is the most important part of being comfortable in sending him there. We have seen him develop so well in all areas and get frequent updates.

I would highly recommend Bexleyheath, Bright Horizons Nursery and Preschool to anyone looking for a great place for their children to learn and develop. All of the staff were absolutely wonderful, caring and supportive. Daily feedback is great, so is the whole communication with the preschool. The management
is absolutely fantastic and very efficient. Every single member of staff, from management to the admin team knows every child by name and genuinely care for all the children. Every day there is so many new activities planned for the children that my son was astonished from the variety. We were really lucky to find such a fantastic place for our son. A big thank you to all the team.

Best Nursery around. My oldest has been attending this nursery for the last 2 years and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. My youngest now also attends. I’m an anxious mum who looked around so many nurseries but knew instantly this was the right place as soon as I walked in. You can not fault the
staff, from the nursery workers to the ladies in the office, to the chefs. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the sense of belonging you receive for you as well as your children. Both my girls love going to school each day and have thrived since attending. If they could stay there forever I would let them! They also do lots of themed days and activities which is so lovely. Plus the daily updates regarding what food your child has eaten to what activities they have done is such a reassuring lovely touch. Highly Recommend

My son started at Bright Horizons during lockdown, he started in the toddler room, being our first child and during such a difficult time we were naturally anxious about leaving our son for the first time. The staff couldn’t have made our experience into the world of childcare any better if they tried.
We were kept fully up to date with what our son was doing during his day. He has grown and developed so much and it’s all down to the amazing staff that have cared for him so well.
The office staff are amazing, there is nothing that is too much trouble. The food that he eats throughout the day sounds delicious and we know that he is having a healthy, balanced diet. All the information about meals, activities and any news you may need to know is all added to the app daily which is just amazing! I am sad that this is our son’s last year at Bright Horizons Nursery but know that they have set him up ready to start his school years and we cannot thank the staff enough.

My 3-year-old little boy has just joined Bright Horizons, Bexleyheath Nursery and the staff have been amazing. He was a little nervous at first, but the staff have gone above and beyond to help him feel safe and welcome. Not only have the staff made him feel calm, they have also made myself feel comfortable
and happy with leaving. I look forward to our Bright Horizons journey and seeing how he flourishes in the nursery environment. Thank you for the great start.

Although it was a hard start (during covid), it was a great decision for our boy to start at Bright Horizons. He was very shy to start but everyone has been fantastic. As time has gone by, he has absolutely flourished. To help him gain in confidence, they have gone above and beyond. He's had the best
start possible to prepare him for school and you can tell how much the staff care about their kids. Thank you for everything.

My baby joined the nursery when he was 8 years old and with him being so young I was quite nervous sending him, to begin with. The staff made me realise straight away I had absolutely nothing to worry about. They send numerous updates throughout the day and are very good at communicating when appropriate.
My child has thrived at the nursery and I have seen noticeable improvements in his social skills as well as life skills. I have nothing but positive feelings towards this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Bexleyheath 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.936 for Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 4.924 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 17 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.924

  • 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.
