Bright Horizons Tooting Looking Glass Day Nursery and Preschool

The setting is lovely with caring and understanding staff. The staff does innovative activities with children. Children learn routines very quickly from the staff. My three-year-old daughter attends nursery once a week. She is looked after by the staff very well. As a parent, I am happy to say that she learnt to sit down at the table during mealtimes at the nursery. She is slowly picking up on her speech.

We were very nervous at first when looking to put our little one in daycare. But having visited this nursery and meeting the lovely staff, it gave us some comfort. Our son seems to really enjoy his time there, and the activities for the children are very nurturing, and we can see they are developing his skills. Thank you to the amazing staff for taking such good care!

I am very grateful for the nursery and the team within it. It is the best place for my child to spend the first few years of his life when he is not at home. I feel at ease when he is there and seeing how happy he is when he leaves the nursery makes me feel so content. It is a parent-friendly, well organised and very welcoming place.

Such a great nursery. Staff are all lovely, fantastic facilities and the standard of teaching are exceptional. My child is thriving and exceeding her goals thanks to Looking Glass, I honestly could not be happier with this nursery!

I enrolled my daughter in this nursery thinking it was the best. Only in the first session, I received terrible attention, I don’t know, if because I’m black, they didn’t even bother to show me the place. I had to insist, like begging them. My daughter’s classroom was on the corner, in front of the street and when I arrived I could see that she was crying badly. Once I received my baby she was red and her voice was broken. She immediately fell asleep in my arms. The worst part was when she woke up at home, she had a bad breath, a disinfectant smell that came from her mouth. The rest of the day she was gassy and got some fever. I had to brush her mouth because the smell was awful, like iodine and other awful smell like poop, no sure but It was awful. In the end, after asking them via mail very politely what she ate, they didn’t even bother to call me. I decided to take her out of the nursery for her well-being.

In the past 12 months (since my child joined), there has been a change in management, and whenever there is change, naturally, there’s apprehension.
However, the change has been tremendous. There’s renewed vigour throughout, and the team have introduced some great new rooms for the children. It seems there’s a long-term vision for the nursery, which takes time, and some of the initiatives introduced have been smart.
One thing that would complement the great work underway is a bit more TLC from HQ when it comes to the upkeep of the nursery. A freshen-up and lick of paint in certain areas would be advisable.

My daughter loves nursery, sometimes it’s a bit of a struggle to get her to leave in the afternoon. The staff are very friendly and really take the time to get to know the children as individuals.

We feel so fortunate that our daughter attends Bright Horizons Tooting Looking Glass Day Nursery and Preschool. The team here are wonderful – caring, warm and engaged and our daughter has flourished. We have also been impressed, now she is getting older, at the more structured approach to learning as she moves towards pre-school.

Daughter has been with the nursery for over three years since the age of seven months and has had a wonderful experience. The entire staffing team are warm, caring and supportive of both parents and children and the atmosphere created is so welcoming. Outside space is incomparable in relation to other nurseries in the area. She comes home every day with stories about the fun she’s had and her development has been noticeable, especially over the past few months at preschool. Any worries I’ve had are dealt with quickly and efficiently. We will be sad to leave her Bright Horizons Tooting Looking Glass family when she goes to school!

My experience of this nursery is very poor. If your child is quiet and requires more attention to engage then this is not the nursery for you.
Children are pretty much left to play how they would like with no structure. The engagement from the staff to the children is basic at best. The staff do not follow any curriculum or approved teaching methods.
Very sad.
