29 October 2024
In August 2024, my son started attending the nursery as I went back to work. The staff and the management team at Bright Horizons New Eltham Day Nursery and Preschool were very accommodating and supportive during the transition period. Every time I pick up my son from nursery I can tell that he has had an enjoyable and fulfilling time there. A true testament of the amazing work that the team does there! The regular updates we receive from the nursery app make the time away from him more bearable and we get a glimpse into the enjoyable and exciting activities they do there.

I have nothing but great things to say about this nursery. I know that my son is in great hands and I honestly have zero concerns. The staff are wonderful, starting from the admin side, always assisting me with the vast queries I've had. The baby room staff are fantastic with my baby's development, they give me tips, when I ask for suggestions they're always happy to help and I know my son loves to go and is excited for his day to start because he knows he'll be going to nursery. I think it's great that they have messy play, that they play outdoors and they also have a great meal service and constant updates during the day. Great service overall, I'm grateful for having chosen Bright Horizons New Eltham Day Nursery and Preschool.

Great facilities for my boy to learn and play and have outdoor space to get messy and develop. He has really come out of his shell. The team is amazing, they are so caring and kind, which really makes the transition effortless.

The staff and management team at New Eltham Bright Horizons are caring and dedicated, creating a warm and nurturing environment. Our son has thrived here, gaining confidence, social skills, and a love for learning. The variety of activities is fantastic, and communication with parents is excellent. We highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, enriching place for their child.

My daughter loves coming to nursery! She has thrived here, building essential social and life skills. She’s made some wonderful friends whilst learning and developing both her motor and language skills. We felt supported when tackling the potty training stage and it brings us as parents such reassurance to see our daughter happy, safe and nurtured when she attends. We love hearing about the things she’s done during the day, whether it’s sport, painting, going on a little outing or baking! It’s important to us that she is part of a multicultural peer group and an inclusive environment too. I’m sure the skills and social awareness will benefit our daughter moving forward to starting school as well as integrating into the wider world.

I love bringing my child here! She enjoys it so much and has formed such a great bond with her teachers! The staff are lovely and always so welcoming and supportive. I love how big the nursery is, and there’s so much space for children to grow, such as the big garden and the forest school!
12 March 2024
They've been really helpful and responsive throughout, and the staff show great care to the children. Our child loves going there, and he has built a great rapport with the staff. The facilities are clean and modern, and they are constantly coming up with fresh ideas to make every week feel a bit different. We have complete trust in everyone there.
12 March 2024
The nursery, since my son started, has been very welcoming. They have been very informative and keep me updated throughout the day with what my son is doing and his progress. They have been extremely supportive and encouraging with extra support for my son.

We’ve been using Bright Horizons New Eltham since 2017. Over this time, the nursery has expanded in size, and they’re now developing a forest school, which looks to be exciting and a wonderful resource for the children. We have always been very impressed with the exemplary care that the staff provide, and our kids have always loved going in, they’ve made great friends, and they have access to wonderful activities and resources to complement their individual learning. The app is very useful too, we can see what our child has been up to in the day and can communicate with the friendly staff easily. We’d highly recommend the nursery as a nurturing place to send a child from 0-4!
12 March 2024
We have sent our child here and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are all so caring, the activities the children do are always so creative and engaging, our child absolutely loves going. What really attracted us to here was the fact that the children get so much outside time, playing and having fun in the garden. Food cooked for the children each day is so healthy and varied. The staff always go above and beyond. I 100% recommend!

I have had two children attend this nursery, my eldest is now in school and my youngest is currently attending the nursery. Although there are many other nurseries much closer to where we live, none of them compare to this nursery. The nursery setting itself is fantastic with so many great facilities like a children’s kitchen, sensory room and a vast amount of outdoor space. I feel happy and confident every time I drop my child off at nursery knowing that the staff are going to take the very best care of him. There are always fun, engaging and educational activities arranged on a daily basis which my child loves. It’s great to get updates throughout the day with photos attached. Every member of staff is friendly, caring and attentive to children’s needs. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I was very impressed at the beginning with the facilities but over time I’ve noticed a few things that have made me change my mind. My son had a pom pom stuck in his nose for a couple of days from nursery until I removed it with a tweezer, we were lucky it didn’t go up his nose. Some of the staff do not look after the children properly, my son was often coming home with dried poop around his bottom, very dirty hands and face, wet clothes and dirty socks. Many times I asked why they were handing him to me at the end of the day with such dirty hands, all covered in paint or dirt and only then I was asked if I wanted a wet wipe to clean them. Other times he was handed to me with his nappy full and sometimes his nappy was getting changed only when I would go inside to pick him up. They lack in cleanliness, the floors are dirty and children's clothes and bags were all on the floor. Not all bad things, a big thank you to the two nursery nurses and 3rd in charge for doing a great job with my son.

Best nursery in the area!
15 February 2023
My daughter has attended the nursery since May 2022. She seems to be quite happy to wave us goodbye in the morning when dropping her off in the nursery. Overall, it has been a good experience in terms of the space/facilities; the nursery is the best in the vicinity. Recent staff changes in the youngest group due to permanent staff departures, a higher portion of agency employees aren't great, but we will monitor her mood and adaptability. Management is responsive and tries to accommodate requests when asked.

Both my girls have been to New Eltham and loved it. My eldest started school as a confident and robust little girl - The nursery were great preparing her for that. She was a muddy and creative child and the nursery embraced and encouraged that too, which I really appreciated. She came home muddy and full of paint almost every day - it was fantastic! Often she didn't want to come home! My younger daughter currently attends the nursery. She too does so many activities that I would never think to do at home and I really enjoy seeing the pictures that the nursery staff post almost every day. The nursery have been asking for feedback recently and I've noticed that they've really listened and actioned a lot of suggestions already - tea parties with parents for example, which I think the kids are really enjoying. The staff there are energetic and thoughtful and my daughter is really comfortable with them. It's a lovely nursery and sets kids up great for their big move to school.

Very happy with the nursery. I especially feel the staff are amazing. My son has settled in really well and is very happy there. The facilities are great. I also find the app really comforting.
03 February 2023
Overall, a positive experience with the nursery. My son is very happy there and he enjoys going daily. The staff are nice and helpful and the facilities are generally in good working order for the children.
03 February 2023
I am very happy with the nursery itself. However, do not have enough information about my child's activities on a daily basis. Another weak point is a good presentation. My child does not like any kind of sauce and remains hungry when it's already added to the dish. Apart from that, I feel that the staff take great care of my little one helping him to settle, to interact with other kids and to get and develop new skills.
03 February 2023
The staff are very friendly and professional. The environment is just amazing. Honestly, I love it there! I know my child is definitely safe there. They have different activities for the children.
02 February 2023
My daughter has recently started at Bright Horizons, shortly after she turned 2 years old. She has been there a few months now and I can say the staff there are very friendly and constantly try to do their best for the children. They have tonnes to do and lots of interaction for the little ones. They do events (like Halloween and Christmas) and both were very enjoyable for the children and you can join them to see how they get on in the class. Overall, a wonderful experience for both my child and myself so far, highly recommended nursery!
