Bright Horizons Bickley Day Nursery and Preschool

The management is really supportive and listens to every concern or query I have.

From the first visit we have felt at ease with leaving Matilda, from Kirsty to Chloe everyone!!! is so friendly and welcoming. The care Matilda is receiving has amazing us! huge Thank you to everyone!

My little girl has learnt so much in her time in preschool 1. She cames home telling us all the fun things she has been getting up too, and always talks about the staff in the room especially the room leader who she says is her best friend. Its a good feeling to know shes in good hands and is being well looked after while I work.

Overall we have had a very positive experience at Bright Horizons. The staff in babies 1 and toddlers 1 have been great and created a really safe, nurturing and happy environment for our daughter. She goes to nursery happy and is always happy upon collection - always having a great day. She always seems to be busy doing fun, age appropriate activity that have been carefully thought out and planned.

My daughter loves this nursery. She has really flourished here. The staff are lovely and she has made some brilliant friends. There are activities every day, lots of time spent in the garden, sometimes they take the kids for mini excursions. There is always something happening and I feel like my daughter has learned a lot since she started here. I was quite nervous to move her from her previous nursery as she'd been really happy with it, but the Bickley branch has been even better, they really work hard to engage the kids and bond with them. We're very happy!

So happy with Baby room 2, they always help my mum when she collects my daughter, preparing her stuff + helping take her out as my mum is elderly. Always going beyond.

I collect my grandson from nursery, he is always happy, telling me about his busy day. The staff are friendly and very caring towards the children. The nursery has lots of different resources and activities available. Lots of theamed planned and all the family are invitied.

Our daughter joined in August 2024, initially baby room 1 then moved up to baby room 2 in Jan 2025. All staff have been friendly, professional and caring and my daughter has really bonded with the staff. I was apprehensive sending her to nursery when I was returning to work following maternity leave but it has been great for my daughter's development and social skills.

A huge thank you to all the staff for making the transition to nursery such a great experience!

We are really pleased! We moved our child from another nursery because we did not feel children received sufficient individual attention or personalised care. We rate Bright Horizons higher on both counts. Staff are professional, engaged and know children well. Facilities are clean and well-suited, food is cooked fresh on-site. Communication is good, outings are frequent. We would like even more encouragement of children's independence but overall we are very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The room leader is really excellent and all staff respond well to our child. Thank you.

Since my son has started the nursery, I have found he's grown in confidence a lot and has a great bond with his key worker in the room. The ladies in the room are all so welcoming and the babies all seem so well looked after and I feel my son's in great hands for me to go to work.

Also, the app is great and is always kept updated!

Our son has been attending Bright Horizons and we have truly seen the changes in him in a positive way, he has developed much more in his speech, is much more confident and is joining more in group activities. The effort and activities the nursery staff do every day are great, they do a good mix of reading and learning new skills and independent play. For different events they hold different activities like for the euro football, they had face painting and football activities. My son is in a toddler class and I can say the staff are very caring and attentive and I truly feel comfortable leaving my child at nursery knowing he is in good hands. I have also found the app very helpful and they are good at regular updates, pictures most days and good interaction.

Thanks to everyone for looking after us.

Thanks to the lovely team at Bickley for all you do for our little ones. You have been amazing support and help over the past 7 years!

I really like that they took them on a visit to the supermarket and the local community. My child even got to scan his own fruit.

Since my daughter has attended Bickley, she has come a very long way. The staff are amazing in the nursery. They do great activities and always have fun days planned throughout the year. Since my daughter has moved over to toddlers. She has become much more confident and gets so excited to go to nursery.

We have been delighted with the nursery since our daughter started almost a year ago and wish we wish we had transitioned her sooner. Staff consistently go above and beyond and are happy in the nursery. This is evident with little to no staff turnover which is a rareity in this sector. Keep doing what you're doing. We love you!

Since joining the nursery the baby staff have supported and helped me settle in my son. All the staff are welcoming and always support me with any questions I have. I love the activities that they do with the children and home learning is a great idea to share, always enjoy the work that comes home.

Our 2-year-old boy loves going to nursery and has the best time! He’s been attending Bright Horizons Bickley for 9 months now and he’s grown and learnt so much. Staff are very approachable and take great care of the kids; they also come up with the best activities - 10/10 for creativity. The facilities are lovely with a massive garden with separate areas for the different age groups. Our boy loves his food and seems to enjoy everything they serve even though the meals are not the most healthy ones. I am really grateful to all the staff and management for the caring and nurturing environment they provide every single day.
