My husband and I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. We always felt reassured that our daughter was in great hands. The level of care and attention she received is second to none - it's honestly been the next best thing to having family take care of her. Staff are incredibly warm, nurturing and attentive. They go above and beyond to create a positive and supportive environment. Our daughter has always come home happy and well-fed, and we've always felt at ease knowing she is being cared for by wonderful people. The nursery is always clean and welcoming (with a recent refurb). The activities they provide are fantastic - when they send photos of our daughter she always looks so happy and engaged. We love how they celebrate diversity and all the different cultures - this was really important to us. Sadly we've relocated out of area, but we can't thank them enough for the peace of mind they've given us and wonderful experiences they've provided our daughter. Thank you to the manager and team - miss you already!

A wonderful nursery run by an incredible manager. The staff are obviously all happy and care so warmly and enthusiastically for every child. We have been parents at the nursery since 2018 and my daughter and son have had six very happy years between them. They were always happy to go to nursery and had so much fun. The range of activities is really good and the children also play a lot of outside games in the small garden/yard as well as in the local park. They were both also very well prepared for school. The manager is warm, kind and can-do and we will miss her and her lovely staff very much.

I live in Earlsfield and would not send my child anywhere else. Having heard all the stories of popular nurseries in the area from other mums, I feel so so fortunate to have chosen this one for our two girls. The staff are so attentive, they care for the children as if they were their own. They are proactive in updating the app during the day, very thorough run down of the day in the evening (if you benefit from this, very parent lead) and regular parent/key worker evening to discuss child development and even the odd parent social. They manage class transitions thoughtfully with so much care. The nursery has had a recent refurb which has modernised the rooms. Our two girls have been so happy there for many years. My eldest recently transitioned to reception at school and the prep for this was second to none! She was more than ready for school. Early childhood care is not cheap but Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool is worth every penny!

Our son joined the baby room just a few months ago and we've had a great experience so far. We felt really supported through the settling-in period, the staff are really caring and they all have something to say about our son's day. The nursery was also renovated just a few months ago, everything looks new and fresh!

If anyone is looking for a wonderful nursery, please look no further. All the staff that work here are excellent. Their tremendous care, support, dedication, kindness and warmth make Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool a special place. They really go above and beyond to support children in their development and prepare them for school. The nursery manager and deputy manager are exceptional and make the nursery feel like a big family. We always felt very comfortable to discuss or address any worries we had. Our son is starting reception this September and we will definitely miss Bright Horizons.

My daughter is 1 year old and has recently started at Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool and she has loved it since the minute she arrived, as have I. We were both welcomed by the wonderful manager and all the staff have been so friendly and helpful. They have all helped with the transition and made the process so much easier. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. It also has recently been refurbished and looks great.

I highly recommend this nursery for your baby or toddler. The new renovations have made a considerable difference for the better. The attention to detail is noticeable every single day which we appreciate. The whole nursery team is extremely engaging with all the kids and goes the extra mile to ensure babies are happy.

The manager and her team run this nursery exceptionally well. The children are, without doubt, at the forefront of everything, we're certainly very lucky to have our daughters go to nursery here. The key workers are all brilliant, always smiling, there is such a warm, happy feeling at the nursery.

This nursery is incredible and my son is so happy there. The staff are amazing, caring and nurturing and you can tell that they really love and care for the children. They always do lots of fun activities to help their development. Since joining, my son's vocabulary has increased drastically. It is so nice knowing that he is cared for in the same way that I would care for him and when I come to pick him up, he runs away as he doesn't want to come home because he is having such a fun time! I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone. In my opinion, it is the blueprint for what a nursery should be.

We love Bright Horizons Southfields. The staff are all amazing and really get to know each child's preferences. Whenever we've asked for anything they've been able to do it - if it's his routine changing or we are picking him up early so they bring his lunch forward. They really tailor it to you and make going back to work so much easier as we know he is well looked after and having fun. There is also a big focus on learning and development and messy play which is great for little ones. It's definitely on the pricier side which I think is fairly normal for the area but the quality has made up for this.

The staff are so kind and caring towards my grandson who has been at the nursery since he was one - he's now 20 months. They do fun activities and also focus these activities on learning. The nursery has recently been refurbished and has excellent facilities both inside and out. My grandson loves his days at nursery and I struggle to get him to leave. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a nursery for their child.

We have been so happy at Bright Horizons since joining over 18 months ago. It is incredibly well run by the manager. The nursery has a personal, caring and loving feel. The staff are brilliant and consistent, which has helped our child feel settled, happy and confident going in every day.

If parents are looking for a nursery for their child, please look no further, couldn't recommend Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool enough! As we enter our final few months, prior to our daughter going off to school in September, I wanted to share the fabulous experience and the excellent childcare we have had from all the staff at the nursery, led by the nursery manager. Our daughter has been at Southfields since 2020 and has thoroughly enjoyed her time, learning, developing, making new friends and most of all, being happy! We will certainly miss the team at Southfields.

Excellent staff - a lovely family culture. We know he is well looked after and they have great activities planned for them. It is expensive for the facilities/space - the outside space is small and the baby room is also a bit small. But everything else is fantastic.

Really love this nursery and all the ladies that work here. The care and love for the children are exceptional and the manager runs a tight ship and is very organised. Glad we chose to send our daughter here.

Our son loves the nursery and we know he is very well looked after and cared for. The level of different activities done by the staff is great. Communication from management is good and management is lovely and very involved in all the kids' well-being and care. The outside area is small but has plenty of different toys. Outside activities are limited and it would be nice if more advantage could be taken of the park nearby.

My son has been at Bright Horizons Southfields Day Nursery and Preschool for just over a year now and we couldn’t be happier, we tried two other nurseries and can’t believe the difference, I wish we had found it before. We have noticed how in the past year my son has been so much happier than before. He truly enjoys his time at nursery, always runs in at drop off and has the biggest smile at pick up. At home, he will continue to sing and play things he learns at the nursery. Our son is in the process of getting an ASD/autism diagnosis and everyone at Bright Horizons have been incredibly helpful and supportive, we truly found the best place for our little one. We really feel everyone from management, carers and cooks really do care about him, we feel very fortunate to be here and know we couldn’t have found a better place to help him develop and get him ready for big school. Thank you to everyone that works here.

Generally very positive. Our son is well taken care of in a stimulating and nurturing environment. We have also enjoyed the opportunity to visit and spend time at the nursery. All staff that we have encountered have been friendly and approachable.

My son started at Bright Horizons Southfields when he was 8 months old in May 2022. The manager and her team were so amazing in helping our family all deal with the transition to nursery. Within a couple of days, my son was clearly settling well and so happy at the nursery. He really loves every day that we drop him there. The team in the baby room are brilliant, and my son has a big smile every time I collect him. It is so obvious that he enjoys every minute he spends learning and playing with the amazing team in the baby room. I really recommend this nursery. It’s a really lovely, friendly environment, and the team really nurture the children’s development. As a parent, it’s so heartwarming to get the sense that the staff care as much about your child as you do, and that’s how I feel about Bright Horizons Southfields. We really love it.

Our daughter started nursery at 9 months and loved her class from the start! She settled in very quickly and her key person made such an effort with her which made her feel so welcome. I can’t recommend the nursery enough! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. We will be sad when our nursery days are over.
