You and your child will love the Bright Horizons North Cheam Day Nursery and Preschool, carefully designed to enrich the learning and development of your child, from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

The modern, purpose-built nursery boasts four large rooms and three garden areas that provide excellent opportunities for children of all ages to learn and discover. There is a designated garden for babies where they can explore in a safe space, separate from the older children.

Toddlers also have a garden area with free flow access, where they can take their learning outside should they choose to do so. Pre-schoolers enjoy exploring the outdoor environment in the large main garden area.

At North Cheam nursery, they support babies’ natural curiosity through a range of sensory toys, which help to develop their motor skills, physical development and speech recognition. The Toddler rooms are set up with play and learning resources to help them learn more about the world around them, whilst encouraging independence.

The unique, inspiring Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond. Pre-schoolers enjoy early reading, writing and mathematics in fun and interesting ways, alongside other subjects such as art and science through the Growing Programmes. Children particularly love the dedicated children’s kitchen where they enjoy cooking activities, supported through the Creative Cooks programme.

The nursery has close parent relationships and holds regular family events throughout the year. The Play and Learning at home programme supports this partnership and recognises the impact parents can have on their child’s education.

The caring staff team would love to meet you and your child, so book your personal tour today.

Fantastic Pre-School Experience!
Our son has been attending this pre-school since earlier January 2025, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From day one, the team made every effort to help him settle in, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The staff are incredibly friendly and always
take the time to share updates at pick-up and drop-off, which we really appreciate.
We love the regular updates through their app, which keeps us informed about what he's learning and how his day is going. The setting itself is full of energy, positivity, and fun, making it a wonderful space for children to learn and grow. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging pre-school!

We have found all the staff to be caring and very responsive to our requests and son's needs.
The environment supports our son to develop and thrive and there always seems to be a great variety of play and development activities.
The chef creates lots of different recipes, including a wide range of
fruit and vegetables and ensures our son gets to try lots of different foods.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our children have at Bright Horizons in North Cheam. From the moment they walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured that they are in good hands. The carers are fantastic - so patient, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child's development. The nursery
provides a stimulating and fun environment where our children learn and grow so much, through play and educational activities. They keep us updated on the app and are always happy to answer any developmental/social concerns we have about our kids. We highly recommend this nursery to any family!

The staff at North Cheam nursery are so professional and informative. The staff have helped my little girl improve every day in learning and mobility. My daughter loves going into nursery and seeing her little friends and the staff, makes me feel so comfortable knowing she is happy and safe while I'm
working.
I love that I'm updated on what she is doing through the day on the app too.

My child loves going into nursery and yesterday did not want to leave. His key workers are so happy to see him leave and accurate handovers are always provided at

I have nothing but good things to say about Bright Horizons Nursery. Not only are all the staff so friendly and helpful, but all the activities they create for the children are great fun and are educational. My son went in just after his first birthday and within the first week of him being there, he
was walking and also saying lots more words. I was amazed! They have an app that allows you to keep up with your children's day with constant updates and photos.
I just love seeing what fun he's having while I'm at work myself. Being an only child has really grown his confidence in being around other children and learning to share and play. As a new mum myself, the staff have been amazingly helpful in teaching me ways to educate or discipline him as he goes into his toddler years. I would never consider another nursery and am so grateful for such an amazing team to be part of my son's childhood.

I have two children that attend this nursery. Both are settled and happy here. They have both progressed in different ways. The staff here have really helped me with a few things while I navigate these first few years with children and are now supporting potty training. They do activities that I may
not do at home and I like the variation of food provided. My eldest is in pre-school now and is prepping in the year running up to attending school. The staff are friendly and update daily activities on the handy app with photos also. I love this and love seeing what the children are doing. I find the app a great tool to know what they have eaten for the day. I have been really happy with this nursery and pre-school. All the staff are lovely and show an interest in my children. If my children are happy then I am happy. They have been a great support and I highly recommend! It will be a sad day when they leave to go to school.

This is truly a fantastic nursery! We have had two children attend, and the current one is really enjoying the toddler room. I fully trust the nursery to keep my children safe, cared for and stimulated with all the learning and activities they have each day. My son comes home happy and smiling every
day because he enjoys nursery so much, and that is all we can ask for as a parent. The teams genuinely care for children, and spend time getting to know each of their personalities. The updates in the app are fantastic, it really makes our day to read what our son has been up to and to see the photos.
The nursery is very clean and well maintained. The management team are very friendly and always willing to help when we have any questions.
I genuinely believe that because of attending nursery when it comes to school transition it is much easier because of the teaching and learning they do at nursery.
This is a truly wonderful nursery I just cannot fault it!

My son started North Cheam Bright Horizons in January at 11 months old and I cannot sing the team's praises enough. The level of care, learning environment and developmental support is nothing short of amazing. They consistently go above and beyond and I can hand on heart say I feel confident that my
child is happy and content in their care. Looking for a nursery can be really tough and I’m so glad that I chose here. I spent a lot of time researching and this nursery was recommended numerous times and I can totally see why.

I originally chose Bright Horizons because I gathered up information from other parents and their website but nothing beats actually sending your precious child there to be cared for and taught by experienced staff with patience and all round care from management to teachers. Every time my son attended
nursery he make my decision even more worth it by the way he would run to the nursery and how close he was with different teachers with different ethnic backgrounds, it really pleases me to see this over the time because he was such a shy child, never went to noone. The classroom teachers really helped him to build up his confidence, his speech finally improved and he has made so many friends and has so much to tell me every day about his day. His progress has shocked me, he has gone up levels and it’s all down to the partnership and bond we have created between us as parents and staff and management from Bright Horizons.

My son attends nursery here and he is extremely happy. Drop-off and pick-up are great because I can see how much fun the children have. The nursery itself always looks spotless and very well run. The staff care so much and work very hard and are all so engaging. I can tell they love what they do and
all the children that attend. There are so many creative activities and ideas for learning which is shared on the app, so parents can see what their child is up to. Communication is great and I always feel informed. My son always comes home telling me how yummy his food was and who he was talking to and playing with. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

North Cheam, Bright Horizons, have the best and most understanding staff, who really take an interest in the welfare of the child. Our daughter has been enjoying her time here and she looks forward to her days at the nursery. As a parent, I could work peacefully knowing that our child is in the best
hands and would be looked after. We have been sending our son to another Bright Horizons nursery and that made us decide to stick with Bright Horizons for our daughter as well. Five stars for Bright Horizons.

Bright Horizons in North Cheam has been a home away from home for both my children over the last
five years. My son thrived there and the setting provided the best start to his life. The same is happening for my nearly 3-year-old now. The staff are excellent - kind, affectionate, but firm when needed
and the whole place has a fun, but calm vibe for the children. I love walking past the wonderful learning stations set up for preschoolers! It's interesting even for us parents! The app used to update parents on their child's day/progress, is excellent. I love that I know when and what my child did during their day. Seeing photos and progress updates always make me happy too. Again, their food must be amazing, as my picky eater gobbles up almost everything and then has seconds too. So thank you to the kitchen staff that we don't always see! My daughter has made new friends as have I and is always happy at drop off and pick up. Thank you to the amazing team at Bright Horizons, North Cheam!

Bright Horizons are the most incredible nursery, with such a home-from-home feel, with the most caring, nurturing staff. After watching my niece thrive at Bright Horizons, Cheam, I didn't hesitate in sending my firstborn here, despite it not being our closest option. My daughter was only 8 months old
and seemed so young to leave, but both myself and her, were transitioned with the best care and support and my little one loved all of the staff. She continued here until heading off to school, where she was fully ready and prepared after learning so much, yet having the most fun. In the five years, she was there, I felt that all of her teachers were a huge part of her life, that she made real bonds with. My youngest has now been there for seven months and there is nowhere else I would have her. Many of the staff are the same that were there years ago and remember my family, which made a new transition, so effortless. Management are fantastic and go over and above, to continually make this nursery, outstanding.

Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons for nearly two years. The staff are caring, engaging and encouraging. Our daughter takes part in a range of activities, every day and regularly brings home craftwork that has been created. We receive regular (daily) updates on the app, about her routine, as well
as photos of the activities she takes part in. A well-rounded menu ensures she is well fed and this has impacted positively on the range of food she eats at home. It's lovely to see the bond created with other children and some of the staff members, especially key workers. Thank you, Bright Horizons!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Bright Horizons North Cheam 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.948 for Bright Horizons North Cheam Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.948

  • 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 4.747 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons North Cheam Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 13 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.747

  • 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.
