Review from Alexandra B (Mother of Child) published on 7 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been going to Bright Horizons since May 2021. We started off at the Battersea nursery and moved to the Chelsea branch when Battersea closed for repairs.
I was expecting Chelsea to be a professional and well-run nursery and it’s certainly that. I wasn’t expecting to feel so reassured and happy that my son is in such good hands in such a safe environment. The ladies and gentlemen working there are without exception kind and loving. I’m so pleased that they have taken such an active role in my son’s upbringing. My son is a wonderful boy and it’s thanks to the people who look after him.

I’m very grateful to the three managers, to all the practitioners past and present and to the chef. Thank you! My family is very lucky to have you.

We have just completed our first week at Bright Horizons Chelsea, and so far, we are very happy. Our toddler settled in after one day, and she is so excited to return every day since. We've had great communication and feel like she is being well looked after.

Overall Experience

My daughter is one years old and is enjoying the nursery a lot. She started attending the nursery when she was ten months old. I can see the improvements, especially socially. I believe going to nursery helps a lot towards lockdown babies. The teachers are very kind, caring and professional. They give daily reports about the babies and monitor them very closely.

Overall Experience

My son is twenty two months old, he joined this nursery in January and we are constantly thrilled by his progress. The staff are so caring, enthusiastic and patient. Given the challenging circumstances of the pandemic, we have been so grateful as to how they have dealt with all the necessary procedures in what must be a very stressful situation. My son comes home happy, having learnt new skills every day and we cannot thank the team at Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool enough! We feel very fortunate that our son is enjoying such a wonderful start to his early years education.

Overall Experience

Our eighteen month old son started with Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool when he was thirteen months. He has loved every day and goes in and out of nursery smiling. All the staff are wonderful and caring with the little ones. He eats and sleeps well and gets to participate in so many fun and innovative activities while he is there. He has learnt new words, skills and has made lots of new friends. We are informed every day by the lovely staff of what he has been up to and often get to take home some pictures of him having fun or pieces of art work he has made. They have a lovely little garden and lots of space for the children. We are very happy with the nursery, our son loves it there and we would highly recommend it to other parents.

Review from Sangeeta A (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool at nine months old and given his young age and the circumstances of a pandemic, we were nervous and expected challenges settling in. However, our experience has been amazing and we couldn’t have wished for a better place for our son. The staff are extremely attentive, caring, enthusiastic, diligent and build real relationships with the children. This is clearly more than just a job for them and they take a real interest in how my son is developing and enjoy taking care of him. He is excited when we drop him off, pick him up and doesn’t sleep at nursery as he is too busy enjoying himself and doesn’t want to miss out on any fun! We look forward to hearing about what he has been up to and have peace of mind that he is receiving the best care and attention. Thank you so much to each and every staff member at Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool, you are doing an incredible job each day and our son is happy, confident and thriving because of your efforts.

Review from Elizabeth H (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool has been a fantastic place for my son’s first nursery experience. The staff are kind, caring and happy to share how he is doing and they give helpful tips for home. My son loves going to Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool which is evidenced by the fact that he walks right in without even looking back, after some tears the first few weeks! The outdoor space is massive for Central London and they do a variety of fun activities daily such as painting, feeding snails, reading, singing and learning about safety, sometimes I read his daily report sheet and wish I could join! Drop off and pick up are so easy and the flexible times are a huge benefit. One bonus is that nappies and wipes are provided, this is one less thing to worry about whilst scrambling out the door with a toddler. The buggy storage area is a helpful feature as well. Many thanks Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the Bright Horizons Chelsea Day Nursery and Preschool for 1.5 years. The staff are caring, attentive and kind. He has developed his communication skills, learned letters, numbers and enjoys the outdoor facility. He is a confident and happy child at the nursery. He loves attending and is happy every day to go in. That to me is the most important thing when it comes to child care - a happy child.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons take into account our needs as a family and have supported us through every aspect of my child's growth. They have been our family away from home, our support bubble. It is not an understatement to say that we would not have made it through this pandemic without them. Every member of staff deserves our deepest respect for giving the very best of them even when things have gotten very tough, as they have as a result of the Coronavirus. Grateful for their love, work and dedication with our little one. Bravo Bright Horizons

Overall Experience
My daughter started to go to nursery when she was ten months. We loved it from the beginning. The staff are enthusiastic in their care of my daughter and help her to develop their interests. We feel included and informed about my daughter's progress and we value the good range of information received.

Besides that, the staff follow good health and hygiene procedures to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 infection. They teach children about good hygiene and the benefits of eating healthily. We, my wife and I highly recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

For me, the most important part of nursery life for my child is his bond with his carers. I always wanted my children to be excited to go to nursery, and this school does exactly that. The teachers create such special bonds with the children, and the care given is like that of a family. The staff are so sweet and warm towards my son, and I could not recommend them enough.

My daughter has been going to the nursery since she was one year and she was always loved. She is almost 3 now. The staff is simply amazing. Everyone is loving, thoughtful, prompt and I can see that the children are learning to be very intelligent and educated persons in the future. I would like to thank all the girls from Bright Horizons Chelsea nursery for taking such good care of my family.

Review from E C (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 5.5-months-old and now is 33-months. The care over the years has been great and a lot of it down to specific individuals as well. Interestingly, despite this past year being one of the more challenging ones in terms of the global pandemic, the care and dedication of the team are stronger than ever. The manager and the assistant manager are very caring and responsive, and the individuals who care for him are excellent. We view the nursery and the staff as an extension of our family and trust them. He absolutely loves going, and in fact, others have observed that he just runs right in and cannot wait to start the day. It is a testament to their continued stimulation for development and education, with the right incorporation of fun, and the overall care and kindness of each of the individuals are exceptional. We know they genuinely care for him and that is paramount.

I have had two boys go through the nursery from 10 months to preschool. The care of staff in the rooms has always been excellent. Turnover of staff historically has been an issue but has stabilised in the last year or two. Happy overall.

Review from K O (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son started in the baby room, then moved to the toddler room and now he’s in the preschool room. We’ve always been very happy with the baby room and the toddler room so we were looking forward to the preschool room. At first, we were a bit shocked how loud the room was, slightly chaotic and stressful. However, now they seem to have a handle of it and the three women looking after the room are always super sweet, caring, loving and they spend a lot of time with seeing the children’s individual needs.

The only thing that’s not as good anymore is the food. They’ve changed chef and that’s unfortunately quite clear.
