Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool

"Our daughter has attended Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 6 months old. The staff have been absolutely amazing since the moment our daughter started and continue to amaze us every single day with how much their dedication and hard work is teaching our daughter to flourish in every way."

Discover, Learn and Have Fun at Our Coulsdon Nursery

At Bright Horizons Coulsdon Day Nursery and Preschool, our long-standing dedicated team nurtures children aged 3 months to 5 years, conveniently located near Coulsdon Town Centre and Coulsdon South Station with onsite parking.

We enable children to gently adapt to a new routine and build strong bonds with our practitioners and enrich children's experiences with local excursions.

Give your child the confidence to thrive with our Nurture Approach—a warm, enriching early years experience designed by specialists to support every stage of development. Rooted in the EYFS curriculum, this personalised programme blends wellbeing-focused activities with exciting learning opportunities across subjects like maths, reading, writing, science, and art.

To help preschoolers feel truly ready for school, our Ready for School programme adds structure and focus to essential skills, building confidence and independence in a fun, supportive environment.

Whether your child is moving rooms or preparing for their next big step, we’re here to nurture their potential and spark a lifelong love of learning.

In our Bluebells room, children aged 3 months to 2 years enjoy sensory activities and peaceful naps.

The room has a sectioned-off non-mobile baby area, a separate playroom, freeflow access to the baby garden and a separate sleep room for napping.

As they move into their bright and spacious Daisy room, the children aged 2-3 really start to develop their sense of self, becoming independent. Our room is divided into two areas based on the children’s ages and stages of development. The play-based learning continues, adding in new experiences in our home corner, art area, cosy book nook, exciting construction area and a dedicated sensory room where children are encouraged to have quiet reflection time.

Our preschool room offers a comprehensive learning environment with a dedicated reading room, and free access to the spacious garden. We are also proud to partner with Superstar Sports, a leading UK provider of nursery sports coaching, approved by Ofsted, to enhance physical education.

We love to get outside and enjoy our natural spaces, so learning is often taken outside into the garden to explore the mud kitchen, our growing garden, bikes, a climbing frame, and a bug hotel; and while your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.

When you begin your journey here with us, we offer you and your child settling in sessions before your start date, this is to help settle both children and parents into a new environment and help get to know the team. These range from 1 hour to maximum to 4 hours.

Book your tour today to meet our long-standing team, we can’t wait to meet you!

Nursery Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 02037 803 057, our friendly team is here to help.
