I would highly recommend Brightsparks Nursery. This was such a big decision for me to find the right nursery where I would feel comfortable, leaving my baby for the first time. I had a few days settling in with my baby and felt at ease when I had to leave my baby. The team are so friendly and positive
and have given me advice on weaning. They are nurturing and supportive and they provide my son with so much care. He has come on so much in 4 months with his development since joining the nursery. When I drop him off in the morning he happily goes to his key workers and cannot wait to get in the nursery to play! They have new activities daily. There are regular updates on my son's progress in physical development, communication and language, literacy, mathematics, arts and design and many more. Also, updates on their app help me stay in the loop about what my son is doing for the day with photos. Brightsparks have exceeded all my expectations. Thank You!

I now have my second child attending Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden. The staff at Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden are friendly and caring and they create a welcoming and safe environment for young ones. During the pandemic, both management and staff have worked really hard to make the nursery
a fun and safe environment and I don't think they get enough credit for all of their hard work. Thank you for all you do at Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden. Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden spend a lot of time organising activities for the children which is great. My child always comes home happy from a safe, warm and nurturing environment.

My daughter has been attending Brightsparks Day Nursery, New Malden since she was fifteen months old and I cannot understate how pleased we are with the nursery and pre-school. She settled in amazingly and has loved it ever since. Thanks to all the wonderful staff who make her feel safe and loved. The
food is fabulous, healthy and cooked on-site and the activities are so educational and of a huge variety. They spend time outdoors whenever they can and also take the children on walks in the forest. I always recommend the nursery and can’t wait until my next daughter can attend and also have the most fun days. Thanks so much, everyone!

Our eldest used to attend Brightsparks and now our youngest goes - he was two years old when he started and would get upset (like most children starting!) but the staff were so loving and caring that I knew he was in the best hands! He's now moved into the pre-school class - since attending Brightsparks
his vocabulary has excelled and confidence.

Our daughter joined Brightsparks when she was 10 months old. She is now just over 2 years old and is loving it there. She was quite upset in the mornings when she first joined but the staff worked with us to settle her in well and now she doesn't even turn around at the door to say goodbye. She is a
fussy eater and the team have worked with us to try to support her in tasting new foods. We genuinely feel that those working with her, are as invested in improving her diet as we are and celebrate any new foods tried as much as we do. We feel like the staff really care about our little one and she clearly feels this too, as she is so excited to go to nursery in the mornings.

We have been using Brightsparks since 2016 when our daughter first joined at just over one-year-old. She had the best time at nursery and formed wonderful attachments to her keyworkers. Our son is currently at Brightsparks and is also having a brilliant time. The staff are lovely and friendly. We feel
completely at ease with the nursery and happy with the care our son receives.

Our son has been attending Brightsparks New Malden since summer 2020. He has settled in very well and is very happy to go into nursery every time. He sometimes even asks to go in on days he is meant to stay home with us (always a great sign). The staff have been excellent so far and we know that he
is being well looked after when he is there.

My 2-year-old daughter started when she was 1 in the baby room and has been in toddlers for 6 months now and she absolutely loves it. The team are so friendly and you can tell they really care about the children. The menu is varied and healthy with the odd treat. The messy play is great and my daughter
definitely enjoys all the activities, indoors and outdoors. There is plenty of outdoor play too.

Our daughter really likes this nursery and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. When the weather permits they have an outside space that is well equipped and kids like it a lot.
Definitely recommend it and we've been there for the past two years.

My son has been attending Brightsparks Day Nursery for 3 months now and I am really happy with his development and progress. The management and staff are fantastic. They really care about the children, I know my son is well looked after and he is always happy. The staff are very likeable, have good
manners and are very caring towards my son. The nursery manager is one of the best people I had the pleasure to be acquainted with. She knows her stuff, I trust her implicitly and I feel if I ever had any queries that I am able to call/speak with her at any time. I would have no hesitation to recommending Brightsparks Day Nursery to friends and family.

Highly recommend this nursery. I last reviewed in 2018 when my older 2 kids had attended. We’ve since had twins and so began our Brightsparks journey all over again. Like their older siblings, our youngest are completely happy here and so well looked after. The staff form lovely relationships with the
kids, and many have worked in the nursery for years, which I think is a positive sign that it’s a happy place to be for everyone. Our twins are treated as individuals which I think is important for them. They started in summer 2020 and I’m very happy with all the changes and extra safety measures for Covid, there is a good balance and I know my girls get the affection they need, still being very young.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool New Malden 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 5.0 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 4.907 for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool New Malden is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.907

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brightsparks Day Nursery and Preschool New Malden 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
