We are so happy we got a place at Bright Horizons, Cornard. During maternity leave the nursery made contact to check my child in for all of his settling in sessions before he started and I felt communication from the start has been amazing. They make me feel like he is safe and well looked after and
he now 4-5 weeks in is so happy to go in. I can see his confidence has grown in that short time and he is learning so much. Very grateful we found Bright Horizons.
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear how well your son has settled and that you've felt supported from the very beginning. It's wonderful to see his confidence growing.

My son has just moved up to his 3rd room in nursery. He has loved his time in penguins he has had a fantastic bond with all the ladies Laura, kat, skyla, Charlie, phoebe, Rae that work in the penguins room. He has grown so much in this room from walking a little bit to now running, his speech is now
amazing and he is so chatty and can say all the ladies name in the room and is talking sentence. He has made great little friendships. His eating skills have progressed so much in this room he now use a knife and folk and cuts his food really well. He loves all the activities they plan in this room and he has turned from a shy baby into a developed little todder.
Myself and my husband would like to thank all the amazing and inspiring ladies in this room, they really truly care and support your child and parents in this room the engage with all the children. You can see that they love what they do. I can highly recommend this nursery and this room to everyone. My son will miss this room.
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear how much your child has grown and thrived. Thank you for your recommendation.

I have 2 grandchildren attending Bright Horizons. The eldest is turning 3 and has been attending since she was 10 months old. The youngest is turning one year old this month (August 2025) and has only just joined. However he loves it. The staff are amazingly attentive, the security top notch (they have
always asked my ID, even though they recognise me), the development next to none. The children enjoy their time at Bright Horizons and come home so tired, great and having eaten so well. They love being able to play outside, in the secure play garden too. I am so pleased with my granddaughters development, speech, walking, running, jumping, sharing, singing etc. I hope my grandson develops equally well. However it is thanks to the dedication of the staff and use of fantastic facilities that I owe this. It is so difficult to know if you are choosing the right place for your children, my daughter did so well and captured a gem in Bright Horizons
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted both grandchildren are thriving and enjoying their time with us at Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds.

Cannot rate this nursery high enough they are outstanding! My son joined and was barely saying 5 words he is now fully talking, confident and ready to go of to school soon. Excellent communication from all staff, awesome activities and always learning! Staff are beyond helpful and really care. Two specific
members of staff in pre school room we love you!

I could not have asked for a more positive experience introducing my baby to nursery! The 5 settling sessions were brilliant in building a relationship between myself/baby and the adults in Panda room. My baby's key worker has been incredibly supportive and understanding throughout the whole process
and beyond into her first few months with the nursery. Communication is brilliant and I love the use of the app so I can be informed of what she's been doing and see photos of the fun she's had. I feel confident knowing she is cared for, even when poorly. It has made my transition back to work so much easier; a major anxiety for a first time mum was lifted knowing my little one loved nursery!
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your lovely feedback. We're so glad the settling process and communication have helped you feel confident and supported.

We just moved back to the UK from the US and I was concerned about my daughter's wellbeing and education due to the stress and upheaval. There was no need to worry though as the staff have been amazing. My daughter settled very quickly and she is flourishing. Thank you!

The staff are amazing. They make my son feel so welcome every time he arrives. They are warm, friendly and helpful. They always inform me about his day and are happy to answer any questions I might have. They upload observations on the app and plan next steps to further develop learning, which is great.
There are lots of resources and activities on offer and all the staff are so engaging. You can tell how passionate they are in their work and my husband and I appreciate everything they do for our son. He loves it there!

My children are very happy at nursery. They are both so eager to enter their rooms in the morning that it is clear that they are well taken care of. The staff often organise activities to cater for their specific learning needs and development. Information about their day/ learning is communicated effectively
through the app. Detailed handovers from staff often reveal a sense of their attention and care. Overall, I am very happy with the care my children are receiving.
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear your children are happy and eager to come to nursery. It's great to know you appreciate the tailored activities, communication and care from our team.

My daughter has been at the nursery for a year and she loves it. The staff are extremly attentive and friendly. They work very hard and it's clear they are passionate about their role in supporting the development of our daughter. I feel happy knowing my daughter is safe and cared for whilst I'm at
work and her Key worker has been brilliant in providing us updates. We considered moving our daughter to a preschool as she's nearly 3 but because she enjoys the nursery and has a great relationship with the staff we've decided to keep her at Bright Horizons until she starts school. The nursery is great, but it's the staff that make it brilliant.

My 2 year old loves nursery. She started at 11 months and settled in really quickly thanks to the kind staff. She is happy to go and always happy when she is picked up. The nursery is great for her communication skills and she always comes home very chatty. She loves being able to do the things she
enjoys from bikes to painting to playing with babies. Thank you.

A wonderful nursery. My daughter has been there since she was 8 months old and she has always been settled, calm and well-connected to the staff there. They have always followed her lead, allowing her to choose her key people for example and have fostered her sense of self and independence. She has
grown so much in confidence and ability since being at this nursery and she gets excited each day to go and see her friends and the staff there.
Facilities are always clean, well-maintained and abundant.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.
It certainly isn't cheap to send children here, but I believe this is true for all nursery settings and is a reflection of our government support, not the nursery.

My son adores nursery, usually you get the odd exceptional member of staff but there is not one person who isn't amazing, they care for the children so well and really take the time to understand them and help process thoughts and feelings. We are so lucky to have found them!

Our son has attended this nursery for 2 years now, initially for 3 days and now for 4 days. He absolutely loves it and we have been so happy with the quality of care provided and the variety of activities offered. His confidence, language and behaviour have developed greatly and he has a lovely rapport
with the nursery staff, who are all very warm and engaging. The two ladies are excellent managers and have always been helpful and kind whenever we've needed support.

It's such a shame I can't mention names as there are two people at this nursery who I just adore! Since we joined in November they have been amazing and make my son smile every single day! He loves being there so much and has created such a lovely bond with his key worker! The deputy manager onsite
always makes time for my daughter who does not even attend there! They really do become a second family and they all light up the faces of my two children when we walk in there. I could not recommend this nursery any higher! I wish I had found them when I had my first!
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your heartfelt review!

My little boy started here in September at 10 months old. I was so worried about leaving him whilst I was at work but the staff in the baby room are absolutely amazing. We did a few settling in sessions so he could get used to his key person and the other staff.
The nursery manager and admin team
are really helpful and were flexible when booking settling in sessions. They can help with navigating the government funding too.
My little boy started off as a vegetarian and the nursery was able to accommodate that but now he has a huge range of foods and always tries new things.
The app is brilliant and I love being able to see what he has been up to during the day, the photos are wonderful to see too.
I honestly am so happy we chose to send our son here, staff are caring, cheerful, professional and knowledgeable ( most have worked there a long time) and I know my son has the best time here!
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your lovely review!

My baby joined Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and Preschool last month and I am so pleased with how well he has settled in such a short space of time. The staff are kind and nurturing and I can tell that they genuinely care for the children they look after, which is a massive relief as it's
not just a huge transition for my son starting nursery, but for myself as well. I know that I can leave him in their care knowing he is thoroughly looked after. The activities they offer are age appropriate and I have already received several observations that have been carried out tracking his development. Thank you Panda room!
Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and PreschoolThank you for your kind words! We're so happy your little one has settled in well and that you feel reassured. Our Panda Room team loves caring for him and we look forward to supporting his journey!

Our son started Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and Preschool at 7 months old and has always been happy at the nursery. His key person and him have a great bond and he's always smiley going into and leaving nursery. The meals are very healthy and they have lots of activities to keep them entertained
throughout the day.

My son recently started at Bright Horizons Great Cornard Day Nursery and Preschool in the baby room and I am so pleased I chose this nursery. The staff are absolutely wonderful. The team in the baby room and my son's key person are so sweet and caring. They really went the extra mile to make sure his
transition into childcare was as smooth and comfortable as possible, with regular updates along the way. The app is great, I always enjoy seeing my son smiling and playing in the pictures. You can tell the children really enjoy it there - my son always has a smile on his face when I pick him up. Would highly recommend this nursery!
