Bright Horizons Beckenham Day Nursery and Preschool

Our boy started as a baby in a different nursery and after a year we decided to move nurseries as it wasn’t going great. Not an easy decision as he had his friends and habits, but we are so happy we moved him to Bright Horizons. He’s now been there for ten months and the staff have all been amazing from day one. They are all kind and experienced and I feel in complete peace leaving my kid with them. They always do fun activities, indoors and outdoors. I love their garden space. The nursery staff in the office (manager, etc) as well as the cook, are all nice too. The turnover is incredibly low, there hasn’t been any staff departure since we joined. We’re also very happy with communication. They use an app that actually works and we check it daily. We see pics very regularly too. Our boy, now in preschool, is always in a great mood when we pick him up. His carers have also been amazing at advising us and supporting his transition to pants. Highly recommended, with all our thanks.

We have recently moved our little one to Bright Horizons, Beckenham, since we moved areas. We were so worried about the move and how our daughter would make the change. She was in toddler room when we moved and I have to say between the manager and deputy manager’s support, we truly didn’t feel any issues. Our daughter settled very well and the team was so welcoming and caring, supporting her through the transition. The one-to-one approach and interest that the team takes and build with every child, is incredible and our daughter really feels super happy going there. Everyone is always ready to help and definitely always open to share their own experiences. They have also been supportive with the fact that our daughter is growing and working with our little one to help her through this phase. Really appreciate everything you are doing for us and wishing the whole team, the best. What you are doing with all those kids, is an incredible job.

A very caring environment for my son, who can be shy, but he feels comfortable and settled. He really enjoys the lovely big garden and toys/outdoor activities. The staff are professional and friendly.

The staff at Bright Horizons are excellent. My two daughters go to this nursery and they started from a very young age. My daughters love going there and feel very happy. This is very important to me because I was very concerned about their adaptation, as English is not the main language used in our house and in our daily lives, so I was always afraid that they would have difficulty adapting, but the employees always had a lot of attention and patience in helping us and making them feel good, plus they have a large, well-appointed garden space and they take the kids there often and my daughters love it. I recommend it to everyone, without a doubt.

We couldn’t be happier with Bright Horizons, Beckenham. The staff are friendly and caring and my child has built great relationships with both her carers and her peers. The food is well-planned and the activities are fun for the children as well as educational.

We signed up our son as soon as he turned 1 year old, as I had to start work again. This was the first nursery we went to visit and despite the many more, we went to see this has been our choice ever since. We chose the people that made us feel safe and made us feel confident to leave our baby with them. After three months we couldn’t be happier. He goes there with a smile on his face and is always happy and content. He is exploring and learning things in a way that wouldn’t be possible at home.
I remember one of the things that the manager told me when we visited the nursery, “we don’t always have a fresh coat of paint on the walls, we rather invest in our staff training to make sure they can provide the best care for your children.”
Don’t get me wrong, nothing wrong with their walls, but it’s the concept that’s very important. Chose the people that have to look after your children, rather than the pretty place. To me, they have both! I couldn’t recommend them enough.

The nursery is the ideal setting for children to explore, learn and show/embrace their creativity. Parents are kept up to date on a daily basis using the app, where you can read about your child’s day and see their beautiful pictures. The staff encourage my child’s imagination and inquisitive nature, which is so refreshing and positive. My son previously attended a different Bright Horizons, but my and his experience at Beckenham do not compare. Amazing staff that respect all children’s individuality.

Lots of different, interactive activities, always. The staff are always energetic and friendly. Lots of time in the garden. Management are responsive, welcoming and flexible.

Lots of lovely and varied activities. Staff always have lots to say and really personal updates. Our son loves all the time spent in the garden and always wants to come to the nursery each day!

Words are hard to come by to describe how wonderful the staff are. The care and attention they’ve paid to my child have been simply amazing. It’s clear to see how happy he is here every day I come to pick him up. The staff have been incredible in helping him in his development, and he has grown more confident. We can’t thank the staff enough. Also, the chef and the meals are second to none!
