Bright Horizons Highbury Day Nursery and Preschool

We had a fantastic experience settling our daughter into Bright Horizons Highbury. The staff really made the time to bond with her and she is extremely happy there. Everyone was so welcoming which really made us feel comfortable as parents.

We have had a positive experience at Highbury nursery. Our son joined when he was 10 months and he has progressed through 2 rooms which have provided a wonderful support for his development. We get lots of opportunities to spend time with him in the nursery and can see how much he enjoys it and how engaged all staff are with the children. We also have up to date information on his eating and sleeping and love seeing the photos of his activities. We appreciate all the different activities that staff do with our son and can see the positive impact on him.

We wouldn't recommend this nursery and think there are better settings locally. Our concerns stem from the amount of accidents our child had whilst attending the nursery. Accident forms were a weekly occurrence and we experienced, alongside other parents a large amount of biting. Our child was bitten weekly at one point. Lots of accidents involving hitting, biting and falling, which led us to believe the children were poorly supervised and left to their own devices a lot of the time. Other parents at the nursery had similar experiences. Our child has moved to another setting and we've not had a single accident form after a considerable period of time.

Our child has thrived at Bright Horizons Highbury! The kind, caring, and patient approach of the team is evident in our happy child. Even under one year old, our baby is enjoying painting, listening to story time, a whole host of sensory activities, playing outside, and exploring new foods with the nursery's extensive menu. We couldn't recommend the nursery more!

Thank you, Bright Horizons Highbury!

From day one our daughter has loved being here, and we as parents haven't thought twice about leaving her all day knowing she is going to be safe and have such a fun day, full of many interesting activities. The way our daughter has built relationships with all the lovely staff and kids (and other parents!) is so nice to see. I love dropping her off and seeing her run happily into the room up to one of her carers for a big cuddle. The food is all great as is the chef who is also so friendly! The management team are amazing and so helpful and attentive and you can see have the children's best interests at heart. We only have such positive things to say about Bright Horizons Highbury! Thank you for everything :)

Our little has made some amazing progress in their skills this past year and we can't thank the staff enough for helping them grow. They enjoy their time at daycare, have lots of fun activities and we love seeing the daily pics of what they get up to. The development posts on our child are also very handy and a great way of knowing how they are progressing outside of our vision.

Bright Horizons Highbury is a wonderful nursery, our kids loved to go there. All the staff are caring and loving the children. They have a structured schedule everyday and they provide creative experiences. Very stimulating environment.

Overall, very satisfied with the care my two children received here over the past five years (first my son attended, then my daughter). The staff are friendly and nurturing, creating a warm and welcoming environment. My children enjoyed their time here and made good progress. A solid choice for parents in the area!

I can highly recommend the nursery and was sad to see us leave!

Absolutely love our nursery! Our son settled in so easily and absolutely loves his time every day. Could not recommend my nursery more highly.

I like the pictures take and messages during the day when I ask something.

Both our children have attended this nursery since they were one. Our eldest is now in year two and is still warmly welcomed when she comes to pick up her brother, and the staff takes a genuine interest in her progress since leaving. The facilities are clean and well-kept, they have some outdoor space, which is difficult to come by in these parts. Our son loves attending here and is always having an amazing time when we pick him up. There are some members of staff who genuinely consider to be his friends! As working parents who need to use their long opening hours almost to the maximum, it is a real comfort to know how well he is being looked after.

My daughter started at 8.5 months but loved it from day one. Settling in was great and super gentle. The staff are also great and loving with the children. Activities are lots of fun, and the daily updates on the app are a highlight.

Good amenities and friendly staff.

Amazing nursery, staff truly care about children, lots of activities proposed depending on age and development. Great communication and great food. Our toddler is very happy to go to this nursery and we can only recommend!

The staff is incredibly professional and supports kids every step of the way. They are all super enthusiastic and positive. The activities are great, our kid loved to see chicks hatching around Easter time. The app is great to follow up, we love it. On the improvement side, we would like the toddler class to be equipped with pull up nappies and to support potty training.

Very professional and friendly. Great communication.

Our son thoroughly enjoys his days at the nursery. He likes most of the staff. They have a good range of activities. The nursery is expensive but reasonable value for money given the geography. The selection of food is good.

Exceptional staff and care for my baby. Dedicated resource to aid settling in. Love and attention when my baby was unsettled. Kept up to date every day with food and naps. Highbury Nursery is excellent.
