Review from M A (Father of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Taking an opportunity to express a huge thank you to the staff of the Nursery!
It has been amazing to see all the progress that our child has made in learning, especially speech development: from the very first words spoken in English language to free confident chatting. Staff of Rising 3 room has been supportive, encouraging and kind and all the credit goes to them.

As a parent, I find it very important and reassuring to know that my child is in a warm supportive environment while in the nursery.

Review from Julia C (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've been with the nursery for six months now. Our little one started in the Baby Room in December 2025 and has now moved to the Toddlers Room - the transition has been seamless.
The care here is outstanding. We were particularly impressed with the encouragement she received in the Baby Room to get her walking started. They were also brilliant at helping her settle for naps, ensuring she got all the rest she needed during the day.
Currently, we are in love with our key person in the Toddlers Room. She has formed a wonderful bond with our daughter, she gets super happy when the key person is around and, clearly, they have lots of fun together.
Drop of and picks ups are smooth.
The entire teaching team is fantastic - warm, patient, and dedicated. We love how they thoughtfully encourage independence at every stage.

Management and staff communication is excellent; they are always responsive and efficient. Plus, receiving regular photo/message updates through the app is great.

Overall Experience

Our daughter loves going here. First few days in the nursery she was a bit hesitant and cried while we dropped her off in the morning, but now after a month or so, she is very happy to go and loves being here. All the people in baby room are great and take very good care of her. She is learning a lot of things very quickly. Happy to see my daughter enjoying her time here.

Review from Farhana R (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending for the past 7 months and I honestly could not be happier with the care he is receiving. In that time, I have seen such a huge leap in his independence and confidence. The team encourages independence in such a thoughtful, age-appropriate way and it truly shows.
I especially love that they follow Montessori-led learning. It has been brilliant for his development. At home he now insists on feeding himself and I can clearly see the skills and habits he is picking up at nursery coming through in everyday life.
The teachers are fantastic. They are truly wonderful people who genuinely love children. Their warmth, patience and care shine through in everything they do.
The regular pictures and updates mean so much to me and help me feel connected to his day. Knowing he is safe, cared for and genuinely happy gives me complete peace of mind and allows me to work full time from home without worry.

We are so grateful for everything the staff do.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery

We're delighted to hear how much your son has grown in confidence and independence, and that the Montessori approach has supported his development so well.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to this nursery since the past one year and frankly speaking she started from the baby room , now in toddler and moving to the next room next week , the journey has been amazing..
The staff is so approachable and they are fabulous.
I see my daughter going into the nursery with a happy face in the morning and coming back happily.
What else does a parent need ? I see so much of a difference in this one year ..

Highly recommend this nursery. We travel 30min door to door every day to drop her , distance isnt an issue for us bcz its the positive environment that attracts us.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so pleased your daughter is happy and thriving. It's lovely to hear how much she's grown, and that our environment makes the journey worthwhile for your family.

Review from Pavlos M (Father of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are very happy with the care and the attention that our daughter is receiving. It has been a great journey thus far! She started at 8 months in the baby room, and we are grateful for the skills she is developing, which we believe could not develop at home so easily (from being independent, socializing with other babies, participating in activities like painting, playing with mud, sand, and much more). The staff are kind, friendly, and especially co-operative. What impressed me is that they personalize the attention to each baby's needs separately. They involve the parents from the beginning and truly want to get to know our baby to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Today we were invited to join and share our cultural and religious practices at home. We brought our guitar and sang with everyone! We look forward to continuing in this journey.

Bright Horizon Nursery is an excellent place and we are very happy to send our child here. She has grown to be a confident and happy child. The nursery provides a wide range of activities for children to learn and explore their interests early. My child was very happy with the visit to theatre and farm nearby. Above all, the nursery is clean and feels very safe. I have no worry entrusting my child to the staff.

Review from Aditya G (Father of Child) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one has been going to the East India Bright Horizon nursery since the last 1.5 years and our experience has been fantastic. Things which stand out for us:
1) Exceptionally caring staff, with utmost attention paid to child needs - be it constantly wiping their runny noses, changing their umpteen diapers, taking care of all the meals or arranging age appropriate activities to engage them
2) Regular updates through the app so we know if our child has eaten well and slept well. We also get daily pictures and summary of activities
3) Large array of toys and books and daily outdoor activities to engage the child

4) Multiple occasions for the parents to come to the nursery and see how their child spends time at the nursery - be it through mother's day/grandparents day/lunar new year/Christmas celebrations. There is also a chance for the parents to come and taste the nursery food!

My second child is also enrolled to attend the nursery soon and I am sure he will have a great time.

My son has been in the baby room at Bright Horizons East India Dock for 9 months. The staff are so caring and friendly. We get updates on how the baby's day went via the app and during pick-up and can always discuss any requirements for the baby which the staff are always happy to accommodate. They have helped my son so much with his physical and mental development. Highly recommended!

Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It's been a year since my son started his nursery journey at Bright Horizons East India Dock nursery. I have noticed a remarkable difference in how his personality has bloomed. He has been learning a lot (conventional- language, numbers, alphabets, and behavioural) and with my own engagement at home complementing the things he is learning at school, things have been progressing well. All thanks to the very thoughtful and caring nursery staff. There's few areas where my son needs to make progress (toilet training and eating) however I feel confident that with support and constant encouragement from the nursery, my son will be reaching those milestones soon. I would like to thank everyone and each of the staff at the nursery for taking such good care for my son. There's a lot of thought and planning that goes into designing activities and lessons using play time/activities. I enjoy looking at the daily updates and activities that pre-schoolers are upto. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear how much your son has grown over the past year. It's great to know he's learning and developing well with our support. The team appreciate your trust and feedback. They'll continue to work hard to help him reach his milestones.

Overall Experience
My daughter loves to go to the nursery! She is in the baby room at the moment and she is in love with all her teachers and little friends. As a first-time parent, I was a bit worried at first but I soon changed my mind; all children are involved in a variety of different activities every day and they have good and healthy snacks and meals.

We are really happy with the nursery in general but I want to give a special thanks to all the baby room staff and one lady in particular, who always welcomes everyone with a smile!
