My son's nursery is a fantastic setting for children. Especially babies room where my son is now. The nursery is clean and spacious. The staff members are very friendly. The other children seem very happy there too.

We are very pleased with the care that our daughter is receiving at the nursery. We are given feedback everyday on the progress of our daughter. The nursery is clean and organised, there is a lot of activities and stimulation given to our daughter. So we drop her off and do not worry because she is
in safe hands.
Her keyworker is great and sees a lot of potential in our daughter. Thank you.
The food is really good, we are pleased.

My son is attending Wembley nursery since he was 9 months and he really enjoys his time here. There are lots of activities that keep him occupied. The staff are friendly and feedback I receive at the end of the day is valuable. He is not a very good eater at home but finishes all his meals in the nursery.


My youngest son is due to start this nursery soon and the only drawback for me is that there is no sibling discount. Paying full time for two kids under 3 is quite expensive.

I have two children attending the nursery. Facilities are suitable. I do not get any feedback from preschool as I was expecting, so I do not know what my child does every day. This could be improved. My youngest has not settled in well yet, however am hoping this will change. Food is good with plenty
of variety.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for more than a year now and I am satisfied with the nursery, just that it is slightly inconvenient for people living close to Wembley central.
But in terms of services, care, staff etc I would recommend this nursery.

This is an excellent nursery especially pre-school. I find the nursery has a very family orientated environment and I am confident in the care my child receives.


I find the staff to be very friendly and accommodating especially management and pre school team. Since my child has attended the nursery

in the last 11 months, I have notice her development and social skills have come on leaps. She's now very confident which I feel will help her when she moves on to school.


I am also pleased with the freshly prepared and cooked meals provided, especially as my child is a very fussy eater. The chef always seem to accommodate her needs.


I would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents, as you would never find a nursery which provides better child care than this one.

My daughter has been at Wembley since September 2015. She has settled in nicely to nursery and made friends. She has recently moved up to pre-school and is really enjoying it. She has come on leaps and bounds in her development. The staff are very friendly and informative at the nursery and do regular
development checks with you regarding your child's progress and milestones. The children get healthy meal options plus snacks throughout the day. I am very happy with my child's progress at this nursery and would happily recommend.

All the staff are really helpful and informative, they go the extra mile. Staff regularly provide development updates and work with parents to devise a development programme. The nursery provides the children with a wide a variety of choice when it comes to meals. The nursery is also extremely clean
and well maintained. Keep up the good work!!

This is an excellent nursery and pre school. Rooms are kept clean and tidy, there is a lovely and spacious outdoor area. The staff are very friendly and professional and caring. They do help children with their literacy and numeracy skills development through games and activities. Overall I would recommend
it to any parents.

Our daughter has been at nursery for almost 5 months now and has really enjoyed it. We have been really impressed with her overall ease at settling in with the other babies and the fantastic staff. The range of activities that our daughter is involved in as well as the different meals that are freshly
prepared in the kitchen there. The staff at the nursery could not be lovelier - they are extremely caring and supportive and have such a kind way of making our daughter and the other babies feel social from the the moment they arrive in the morning until they are ready to go home. A+.

Brilliant, no qualms or worries to be had. My daughter is more than willing to attend as she has built up a network of friends. Feels like a family unit, home from home.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.968) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Wembley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 7 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 4.976 for Bright Horizons Wembley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 3.992 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Wembley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.292

  • 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.
