One of the best decisions we ever made for our little one is to enrol him at Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool. All the staff here are lovely, dedicated and patient and they do their best to create a fun, learning environment for the kids. My little one has certainly shown development
in social skills and adaptability. Thank you Bright Horizons!

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent or carer looking for a school that offers a safe environment, social development, good educational foundation and successful progression for children. The classrooms are neat and the staff are amazing professionals who work very hard to bring out the
best in children.

We are overwhelmingly pleased with our overall experience. Every member of the staff demonstrates an exceptional level of friendliness and professionalism, contributing to the positive atmosphere of the nursery. Our daughter's joy in attending the nursery is evident, which is a testament to the nurturing
environment provided. However, we do have a minor suggestion for improvement regarding the breakfast options. Expanding the selection slightly would add an extra layer of satisfaction to our overall experience.

The staff at this nursery are extremely warm and welcoming, especially to the child. After a very short time, my very clingy child settled into the allocated room and built up a rapport with certain members of staff. They adapt their care for each child and go above and beyond to make the child happy.
Upon collecting my child I get a very comprehensive update on her day.
My only complaint would be the app is often not updated regularly and I have been told different things than what is recorded on the app.

We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our warm and welcoming staff. We're dedicated to adapting our care for each child's happiness. We appreciate your feedback regarding the app and we will raise this with the nursery manager.

Thank you.

My daughter has grown so much in confidence since she started at Bright Horizons. The staff are all fantastic, she’s gone from not sleeping, drinking or eating, crying at drop off, to happily toddling off waving bye, mostly sleeping well, eating much better than at home and drinking water and milk!
They’re very accommodating of dietary requirements and have really gone above and beyond. Updates are mostly frequent on the app, and there’s good continuity in the staff as we more often than not drop her off with the same person which has definitely helped with her confidence.

The team at Bright Horizons Beckenham are incredible. Every day my child comes home smiling and completely exhausted from the many fun, creative and learning activities. My child has made so many new friends and feels safe and happy whenever I drop her off. The staff are warm and welcoming and have
created an amazing space for all the children to come and learn and play.

My twins had been attended another nursery setting since they were 9 months old, however due to a house move and planning for primary school applications, we moved them to Bright Horizons Beckenham at the start of this year and it was a brilliant decision.
I presumed the transition would be difficult,
but I couldn’t have been more wrong! All the preschool team were (and still are!) incredible in initially welcoming my girls to the room and introducing them to the nursery routine.
Both come home talking about what activities they’ve taken part in, what they’ve learnt, who they’ve played with, what they’ve eaten and how fun their days have been. They have progressed leaps and bounds in only the 6 months they have been at Bright Horizons.
I would highly recommend the nursery!

I am delighted with the standard of care at this nursery. My daughter is in the toddler room and I have seen how her personality and skills have been developed since she started here in March 2023. The staff are caring and honest and communicative, always friendly and great with the children. My daughter's
eating has also improved as she has tried new food here. The outdoor space is large and well-equipped and indoors the staff always set up fun activities for the kids to help their development. Highly recommend.

The staff in Toddler's room helped my child settle in really well. They took the time to get to know him and patiently ensured that he enjoyed his time there. It was a relief for us to see how well he settled and to see him engage in activities that expand his curiosity and creativity.

My first child went to Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery when she was 1 year old. She’s been very happy and enjoyed it there and now she graduated the nursery this year to go to school. My second child is in the baby room and she is also very happy. The staff are very nice and professional to look
after kids. There are special bonding between staff and kids so we are very comfortable to send to nursery.

Our 2 year old son joined Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool
in June 2023 and we’ve been delighted with the care he’s received. We moved to the area and had to switch him from his previous nursery which he loved, so we were really nervous. But from the first day the staff were all
really caring and he settled in extremely quickly and loves it here! I’ve been really impressed with how much care and attention the staff provide the children and he’s gone from strength to strength since joining. You really feel part of the family at Bright Horizons Beckenham.

The nursery and staff provide a welcoming and fun environment. The children are always doing interesting and different activities, exploring different senses, both indoors and outdoors, such as baking, water play, gardening and seasonal activities, such as teaching them about different leaves, etc.
The nursery provides a good food menu and introduces my son to lots of different flavours.
The updates provided on the app are good, and they have been very supportive with potty training and nap transitions. I am very happy with the nursery and believe my son has a fun, enjoyable and safe time there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.814)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.814) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.814 for Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.814

  • 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 Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 26 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 26 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.
