A spacious nursery in Swanscombe.

The bright and welcoming Swanscombe day nursery provides quality care to children aged 3 months to 5 years. The day nursery and preschool in Swanscombe is located just half a mile from Swanscombe town centre and Swanscombe Railway Station. They have a buggy storage area and an on-site car park to make pick-up and drop-off as convenient for you as possible.

As you step through their doors, you'll feel the warmth of their caring and experienced staff who are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for your children. Like a second family, the team fosters a sense of belonging and security, making every child feel right at home. They love encouraging your child to explore all of their favourite extracurricular activities. This is why they offer ‘Hartbeeps’ sensory classes and football sessions with the support of a sports coach. There is also a dedicated cookery area, where your child can mix, whip and fold in the cooking club!

To support your child outside of regular nursery hours, they also have a breakfast, after school and holiday club for children aged 3 months to 8 years, where they can participate in a range of fun activities.

Your child will love the large outdoor play area with free-flow access from every room. So no matter your child’s age, they can move freely from the nursery to the sensory garden, playground or natural open space.

The long-standing staff would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit today and they will show you all the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

The Nursery is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted as of October 2022.

My LO joined just after her 1st birthday and I was incredibly nervous as she'd never been cared for by another other than mum and dad. We were offered settling in sessions (free) which were invaluable and the staff took the time to understand her routine and what she enjoys.
All the staff are absolutely
wonderful and clearly very knowledgable. My LO adapted to all the staff very quickly and has such a fantastic time at nursery ever day - no tears on drop off or pick up and is extremely happy every time. The food is amazing and there's a variety of food that she probably wouldn't have tried otherwise!
The activities are fantastic for their development and the updates on the app are so lovely in seeing how her day is going. The forest school is her favourite thing and the garden!
Can't recommend the nursery enough, my LO loves it so much which is more than I ever expected and I really have no mum guilt as she has the time of her life every day!

So glad we decided to send our girls to Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool. They have a great time and have developed so much, which we think is a direct result of all the activities they do at nursery. The team in our girls' room are great, genuinely care and go above and beyond to
keep to our routine and make sure the girls are happy. Thank you!

My 18 month old daughter only started at Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool in September 2024 but has already grown to love her time there. As a family, we are grateful to have been welcomed so warmly by all members of staff, especially the team in her room! To know our daughter is
loved and cared for is all we could have hoped but the staff have honestly exceeded all of our expectations! We can't wait to watch her journey here!

My son started at the nursery in January this year. He was dubious about starting and ended up in tears for the first few weeks. The staff were amazing and patient with him, allowing him to come in and engage at his own pace without forcing him to remove his coat or interact immediately. He now loves
it and is straight in without a backward glance. He is a lot more adventurous with food and eats food at nursery that he wouldn’t touch at home. He is tired out at the end of each day!
The staff are very interactive and plan activities for the parents to attend. They are approachable and will follow what is best for your child.
Great nursery!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that your son has adjusted well and now loves coming to the nursery. It's wonderful that our staff could support him patiently and help him become more adventurous with food.

My son has been with Swanscombe Bright Horizons for about 2 years and when he started he was quite delayed due to COVID. The nursery assured me I wasn’t alone and since then he has come on leaps and bounds they have taken their time even though they are so busy to get the best out of my son and I couldn’t
be more appreciative for their support advice and love they have for him! I will be sad to leave in September but they have given my son the best possible start in life!

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 1 and is very close to graduating from preschool. She made lots of friends but the bond she formed with all her key workers from the beginning has been so lovely to watch. There is an app in which you can see what the children are up to and at preschool
level especially, it’s amazing to see the topics they learn about. She comes home and shares new words she learnt in French, and the same words in Makaton (sign language) and I’m constantly blown away at the knowledge and variety of things she picks up at Bright Horizons.

My daughter has been attending the nursery from 9 months old, she is now 2 and absolutely loves her time there!
We have recently amended her days from 1-2 and she has also recently moved up to another room, this has been a huge transition in which she has had lots of support in, I’d like to give one
member of staff, in particular, a special thanks as she was brilliant throughout the transition, my daughter also built the most wonderful relationship with her so it was a shame that she couldn’t join her in her new class, however, I’m sure she will develop the best relationship with her new ‘key person’.
All of the staff are absolutely fantastic and I feel extremely confident knowing that she is going to be provided with the best care whilst she attends.

Thank you for sharing your daughter's journey with us! It's heartwarming to hear that she has been enjoying her time at the nursery since she was just 9 months old and that she continues to thrive as she grows. Transitions can be challenging, but we're glad to hear that she received lots of support during this time, especially from the staff member you mentioned.

My son has been here just gone two months and we have seen significant developments since. The nursery is perfect for him. He runs in daily. He loves it so much he gets upset that he can’t come in on the weekends! Just a testament of the incredible job the staff are doing. The teachers he has are 10/10.
They pay so much attention to him but most importantly, they are intentional. As first-time parents, it can be a bit nerve-wracking leaving your child elsewhere but we get constant updates on their activities, food intake and nap times. Simply a well-run nursery. We love it here.

My child has been going to Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 9 Months old, they have been such a big part of helping him become confident, bubbly and taught him day-to-day skills, supported with learning and getting ready for the next step. I couldn’t thank each one that
my son has been looked after.
They soon will have my daughter joining the Bright Horizons family - wouldn't want them anywhere else.
Thanks team!

The staff are so warm and welcoming and my daughter has grown so much in confidence and had a lovely relationship with her key workers! She really enjoyed going

Very friendly and helpful staff. We have sent both our children to the nursery from 1 year old. Our daughter still likes going into nursery even though now at school.
Special mention to the staff member in Pre-School 1 for going the extra mile with my son and his development with speech. Works very
closely with the external speech therapist and genuinely does care about his development. For this we thank you.

My daughter loves coming to nursery. She feels comfortable with the staff and has made huge progress from when she first started. She has made friends and enjoys playing together. She loves the craft table and the different activities the staff set up.
The staff in her room are really good at updating

Our daughter joined Swanscombe Bright Horizons just as she turned one and has been there for nearly a year now. The staff were so friendly and welcoming from the very beginning. They all take the time to get to know the children, even if they aren’t assigned to their room. There is a really homely feeling
to the nursery. They do lots of messy play and encourage the children to try new things but also comfort them if they aren’t sure. The food is varied, which is great for them to explore new tastes. The staff give feedback on how your little one's day has been at the end of the day, and there is an app where the staff upload what your child has eaten/nappy changes/nap times, etc which, is really useful. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Our little one has thrived since she joined, and It has made returning to work much easier knowing she comes out of the nursery happy every day!

My experience at Bright Horizons has mostly been positive and appreciated by my child too. They excellently support children with special needs, like mine with social and communication challenges, by effectively implementing therapist-recommended plans. My child very much enjoys the company of the staff,
especially their keyworker. The nursery's layout, especially its outdoor spaces, encourages healthy exploration. Extra activities, like Mother's Day celebrations, add to their service, creating cherished memories. The convenience of onsite parking is useful, though it can be crowded at peak times. Receiving items my child has helped create, like vegetables, is delightful, offering insight into their activities. Improvements are needed in staff communication, especially during handovers, as information about my child's day is often lacking. The management is always helpful, enhancing the nursery's welcoming atmosphere. Their approach to catering to picky eaters, with a set menu and alternative commendable.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Swanscombe 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.892 for Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 29 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 134 number of registered child places is 26.8, which has been reached with 29 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.

I started my career as a nursery nurse in a sizable nursery back in 2012 and have steadily progressed to become a Nursery Manager. Along the way, I have attained a level 3 diploma in childcare and further education, as well as a level 3 diploma in leadership and management. I am also qualified as a SENDCO, and I am currently pursuing my level 5 diploma in business management.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Hi, my name is Aynsley and I am the Nursery Manager.

Since 2015, I have been actively involved in the early years sector, and my journey in this field has been truly fulfilling. Prior to this, I spent six years working in a SEND department, where I had the privilege of working closely with children. Throughout my career, I have consistently sought to enhance my skills and knowledge to better serve the children in my care.

I am proud to hold a level 3 diploma in children's learning and development, as well as a level 3 diploma in leadership and management. These qualifications have been instrumental in shaping my professional growth and allowing me to take on greater responsibilities.

My progression within Bright Horizons has been significant, having started as a bank staff member and now proudly serving as the Deputy Nursery Manager. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunities that have come my way.

As the Deputy Nursery Manager, I am deeply passionate about my role and the impact I can make on the lives of children and their families. My primary focus is to provide high-quality childcare with enriching environments that foster learning and growth. One of the ways I achieve this is by mentoring and supporting our dedicated staff, helping them develop their own skills and expertise.

Being a good role model to others is also important to me. I believe that leading by example is a powerful way to inspire positive change and encourage the delivery of high-quality care across the nursery.

I wake up every day with a sense of purpose and dedication to making a difference in the lives of the children we care for. It is a privilege to contribute to their early years' development and create a nurturing space where they can flourish. I am excited about the journey ahead and the continued opportunities to learn, grow, and positively impact the lives of those in my care.
