Fantastic Experience at BeBright Bunnies!
My daughter attended BeBright Bunnies, and I couldn't be happier with the care and support she received. From day one, she was welcomed with warmth and kindness, making the transition so much easier for both of us. The staff are incredible-attentive, nurturing,
and genuinely invested in each child's well-being.
What stood out the most was how excited she was to go in every day. She always walked in with a smile, eager to join her friends and take part in all the wonderful activities. The environment is both fun and educational, fostering creativity, confidence, and social skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
It's clear that BeBright Bunnies is more than just a childcare setting-it's a place where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to thrive. I'm truly grateful for the positive experience my daughter had, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging preschool. Thank you Bebright!

My son had an amazing experience at BeBright Bunnies, he fell in love with two senior early years practitioners as they've been amazing. He really learnt so much during his experience and really started to come out of his shell, he is now talking really well and knows how to socialise with other kids.
BeBright Bunnies was like a second home to my son and I know he's going to miss it there a lot.

The staff at BeBright Bunnies are extremely welcoming and professional, they have time for all kids. I know when I drop my son off he is in good hands. My son really enjoys nursery. They have an app where you can talk to teachers in your child’s class and get updates on how your child is getting on.

My son has been attending the nursery for the past nine months and all the staff have been fantastic and have taken brilliant care of him. I feel that the communication has been great and I’ve always been kept up to date with observations and pictures via the app the nursery uses. The management team
have always been very supportive and goes above and beyond to support parents with advice and help. Overall I am very happy with the nursery.

The nursery is Amazing! The staff are so lovely, they provide all their needs and always are up to date with next steps and observations and also make sure staff are expressing their progress and their development so far. They always include all the children with all their activities and do a weekly
post every Friday so I am able to see what my child is doing and receive many posts. The staff are so bubbly and happy throughout the day and always smiling at me and making me feel reassured and comfortable. The manager is so lovely and is always helping me when I don't understand something and giving me advice.

I couldn't be happier with our choice of BeBright Bunnies for our little one. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that this is a place where children are not just cared for but truly nurtured and loved. The staff here is exceptional - warm, attentive, and highly skilled in creating a safe and
stimulating environment for kids. Our child has grown and developed so much in their care, and we attribute it to the wonderful activities and opportunities they provide. It's not just a nursery; it's a home away from home for our child, and we are grateful for the dedication and love shown by the entire team. I wholeheartedly recommend BeBright Bunnies to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

Our daughter has been going to BeBright Bunnies now for just over a year. The settling-in period was done in stages which helped her get used to going to the nursery. She gets along well with all the teachers at the nursery and has been assigned a key worker too. We also find the daily updates via the
app very useful. The nursery itself is conveniently located right outside Lower Sydenham station. We can only highly recommend BeBright Bunnies.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My son has very complex needs and at times I do not feel as though his needs are being met. He has come home with a graze on his arm and staff have not been aware as to how he sustained it. He also lost his toenail and I was given two different accounts as to how he sustained the injury. The staff has
been slow liaising with SEN Lewisham with regard to his assessments/observations for his EHCP. The staff has not been consistent with implementing the recommendations that the ASD outreach school and speech and language have given them to help him in his development (e.g using visuals, now and next boards, Makaton). My son has been attending for over a year and it is just the last two months that I have started to receive notifications of observations made. Most of the progress my son has made has been due to our interactions at home. Most days he likes attending the setting and has made friends. Black history month was celebrated during the half term, so term-time-only children were excluded from this.

Lovely nursery and caring staff, especially in the baby room! My little one took ages to settle in but they persevered and he now loves being there. Lots of activities for them to do, outside play area, updates on the app (most of the time), good management and you just get the feeling that they all
care and want the best for the kids too.

Lovely nursery in Sydenham. The staff are all so friendly and engaging with the babies. My son has come along so well since attending the last couple of months, it's amazing to see. He is always smiling when we pick him up.
They have put good measures in place to protect children, staff and parents
from Covid.
They also have a great app which they use well so I can see what my baby has been up to, with photos too.
They have also been really understanding with our multiple requests to change dates.
Thank you to the BeBright Bunnies team!

A lovely nursery with caring, energetic and professional management and staff. The children are offered a lot of fun activities, outdoor time and messy play. The rooms are spacious and bright and the nursery very clean. My son has been welcomed and taken gently through the settling in process that was
tailored to his needs twice, first in December, and then again after lockdown. I highly recommend BeBright Bunnies.

I love BeBright Bunnies. It's a great nursery for my child to explore and learn in a loving and caring environment. The staff assess children's progress and keep us inform of how things are going, which is very reassuring.
Also, I must say, during lockdown, they have continued to provide childcare
for keyworkers' kids. Doing fun activities and giving the children a great sense of normality and they've done brilliantly in getting things back up and running after lockdown.
We're very pleased with the staff and how they understand our child.
Highly recommend it!

An amazing environment for children. My little boy loves going there and looks forward to going every time. He has made good friends and interaction with people has definitely improved. He expresses himself a lot more around the house.
They offer different activities both in groups and individually
like painting, drawing, singing, circle time and much more.
Clean environment and definitely amazing and experienced staff. Daily updates directly to your email and prompt response to any enquiry or queries.
I will definitely recommend this nursery to people. Guaranteed peace of mind at all times.

It's the first time for my son attending nursery and he completely loves it, even when he's not in he's constantly asking for his friends and members of staff which by the way are very friendly and caring. They do lots of activities and provide the children with the best learning environment. Very happy
with our experience and I would definitely recommend BeBright nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.172)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.172) out of 10 for BeBright Bunnies Sydenham 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 4.897 for BeBright Bunnies Sydenham is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.897

  • 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 4.275 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for BeBright Bunnies Sydenham is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.375

  • 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.
