New Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is a former cricket pavilion that has been purposely renovated in order to provide a safe, cosy and fully resourced environment for children aged from three months to five years.

The stunning location means that children can have full and supervised use of the cricket pitch, together with their own large outdoor area, while the facility itself is spacious and comfortable.

Freshly prepared nutritious meals are cooked on-site by the nursery chef.

We sent our daughter to Bright Horizons New Beckenham in Spring 2023 and are very happy with the care and investment she has received.
Whilst the building and facilities don't look as new and shiny as some other local nurseries, this is just cosmetic - and what matters most is the people involved
with our daughter on a day-to-day basis - they are great and we definitely feel we made the right choice of nursery.
The nursery is well run and organised from a management perspective - staff turnover issues which is an industry-wide problem I believe, have been well managed. The children have a good range of activities to get stuck into from sport-type activities, messy play (which is great not to have to do at home!) and other learning activities which have really helped with our daughter's development. The food and kitchen seem well run and offer good variation.
The 2 keyworkers our daughter has had from the baby room to the little learners' room have been caring and genuinely interested in her development.

Very happy with Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool. My son has been there since April 2023 and is currently enjoying little learners. The children do lots of activities, both inside and outside, we get plenty of photos and he always seems happy when he comes home. The staff do really
care and the food is often more varied than I serve him!

Our daughter has attended the nursery since she was 8 months old (she is now 4). We have been consistently impressed with the level of care she benefits from at the nursery. The staff encourage her to develop key skills and build friendships. She also experiences a wide range of activities (including
garden-based nature activities, games to help develop letters and numbers, reading and science experiments). The staff have also ably handed our daughter's dietary requirements - separate meals are prepared for her with ease and without complaint. I would recommend the nursery to others without hesitation.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter has thrived at our nursery and enjoyed the diverse range of activities. It's great to know that the staff's care and handling of her dietary needs have met your expectations. Thank you for your recommendation.

Fantastic nursery! I've had two children attend and have been really happy with how they have done at Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool. They have developed really strong bonds with their carers and had a lot of fun.
They do a lot of messy play which my daughter has loved. They
go out to the garden every day. They eat really well and they are always working on their development - reading, numbers, colours etc. Really happy!
There have been some staff retention issues in the last year or so but I think that's true of a lot of nurseries now.

As a mother of a child with special needs, I cannot thank Bright Horizons enough. Their constant support and care for my son has always been amazing, the way they have adapted learning for him, has been great. The staff have been instrumental in getting an ECHP for my son so as to secure the correct
placement for reception onwards.

Since starting in October, we have found the nursery to be a great place for our son.
The nursery staff and management genuinely care about all the children in the nursery and take the time to get to know them and their personalities. The settling-in period was an anxious time for us as parents but
the staff could not do any more to make us feel comfortable and at ease with leaving our son there.
The menu is varied and all made on-site which we loved about the nursery when initially viewing it. Even the cook knows the children's names which shows a personable experience.
They are always doing fun and enjoyable activities which the children clearly enjoy. I have noticed a difference in my son's confidence and independence and this has everything to do with all the new skills he is picking up at the nursery. We are thrilled with our choice of nursery and how much our son is thriving there.

We’ve sent all 3 of our children to Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool and all three of them have thoroughly enjoyed their time there! My eldest even likes to go back regularly to pick up the youngest as she misses it so much! The structure of Preschool is a brilliant mix of learning
and fun and you can tell the staff really care for the children and their learning journey. It’s been a fantastic stepping stone into Reception and has meant my eldest two had seamless starts into infant school. The Management team are also so supportive and keep parents well informed while always being available for parents should we need to talk to them. There’s also the App which gives you updates throughout the day with what your child has been up to and eaten etc and keeps you up to date with their learning journey so it’s a lovely check-in throughout the day. I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery any higher!

Our son has attended Bright Horizons New Beckenham since he was nine months old and we've been really happy with the care and attention that has been shown to him in the baby room. When he joined he was one of the youngest in the room and was still getting to grips with weaning/eating, and the whole
team couldn't have been more supportive. The nursery app is great for letting us know what he's getting up to during the day, and we love seeing the activities he takes part in. All of the staff have been really welcoming and helpful - we would definitely recommend it here.

Our son attended this nursery from 14 months old until leaving for school, aged four, and he has loved his time there. There was a bit of a rocky patch when he was in the toddler room as there was a period when a lot of the long-term staff left and the management changed a couple of times but overall
we have been very happy with this nursery. We love the location and the staff makes the most of the glorious setting by taking the children out a lot onto the field to explore. The preschool room, in particular, was lovely and the staff in that room was always very caring and nurturing. The current staff and management are really welcoming and always available for a chat if you need to discuss anything. Our son was well prepared for starting school and very much enjoyed his time at this nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Horizons New Beckenham since January 2021, she's been very happy and transitioning from another nursery due to a house move was east thanks to the staff. She made friends quickly and was happy to go every morning. The launch of a brand new app makes understanding
progression easier. Despite the challenges from the pandemic, the staff were helpful and kept us posted on any potential issues. The facilities feel very safe with no traffic or cars posing risk and a lovely field where they go playing, reading and walking etc. Our daughter is happy so are we.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.525)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.525) out of 10 for Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.525 for Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.525

  • 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 Bright Horizons New Beckenham Day Nursery & Preschool is based on 15 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
