Review from Tanisha B (Mother of Child) published on 24 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at this nursery for two years and I've seen her grow over the course of time. She was able to learn academically but she also gained a lot of friends which was so nice to see, being she was an only child. I'm more than happy that she was able to spend her time here now she's off to big kids' school.

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

Thank you for your heartfelt review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter has grown so much during her time at our nursery and made lasting friendships. It's wonderful to know she's ready for her next adventure in big school.

Overall Experience
My son has attended Bright Horizon East India Dock Day Nursery since he was 1 year old. Now 4, he is leaving to attend primary school.
The nursery and pre-school have been an incremental part of my son's life and I couldn't have asked for more. Everyone there has been so helpful, comforting and supportive during my son's time here. The support, development activities and fun that is offered to the children are brilliant. As a parent, I felt very safe leaving my child here knowing he will be well-fed and have lots of fun.
We will miss the nursery/pre-school and know my son will too.

Thank you!

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

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your son has had such a positive experience at Bright Horizons East India Dock. It's heartwarming to know the supportive environment and engaging activities have made a difference in his life. The team will miss you both and we all wish him all the best in primary school!

Review from M B (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had a very poor experience trying to settle our boy at this nursery. Right at the first session, the seemingly uninterested key worker assigned to him did a terrible job of interacting with him, the room was crowded, hot and messy, and there were multiple children crying without being attended to. We witnessed a little boy crying hysterically who reached out his arms for us to pick him up, and to our surprise, the staff told us to leave him alone as it was his first day and he was "just crying". The child cried the whole hour we were there, without any attention given to him. It was very obvious that they were going to do exactly the same with our boy and we couldn't stomach the lack of empathy.

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

We understand that settling into a new environment can be challenging for both children and parents. Our team works hard to create a...

The care by the staff is always of a good standard and they are very encouraging to children. The rooms never feel too crowded.

Overall Experience

As a worried mother to find the best "home away from home" nursery for my son, I feel that I never have enough words to say thank you for every single person at this nursery. You can really see the dedication, the interest and the special care they give to all children. My son took a long time to adjust going to nursery and we have been supported so much along the way. He is now very much looking forward to meeting his favourite teachers in the morning and they are very much part of our lives now. Fantastic managers, the best teachers and overall, such a great place. Thank you, Bright Horizon East India Dock Day Nursery.

Big thank you! Thank you for making it a home away from home for my daughter. Her excitement to meet her teachers every morning is a reflection of the affection she receives from them.
More importantly, it's so nice to know you all as a person.
All carers from the baby room and toddlers room, as well as the chef and support staff, she genuinely loves you guys and I can see it in her eyes.

Special thanks to management for going above and beyond as nursery managers!

Overall Experience
My son was exceptionally well cared for at Bright Horizons East India. He started as the youngest in the baby room and he was treated with utmost care. It’s been amazing to see him blossom and grow in confidence over the past several months. We’re absolutely gutted to leave.

My favourite part about this nursery is how much all the workers in the baby room love the babies. All the workers have a fantastic bond with them and it’s beautiful to see how happy the babies are with them each day.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending Bright Horizons East India Dock Day Nursery since he was 8 months (he's now nearly 2). The managers are exceptional, they always have a smile and are always very welcoming my son is always happy seeing their faces when he enters the setting. The girls in the baby room made him feel comfortable and supported him through his settling period, he has now moved to the bigger room and the ladies in there are brilliant, he loves walking in the morning by going straight up to them for a cuddle. They always keep me updated with his development and reassure me of where he's at. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after my boy, the love and the support are wonderful.

Review from Sheherazade O (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the nursery teachers who have contributed to my child's growth and curiosity for learning.
As you might know, my son joined the nursery when he was only 10 months old.
I remember how worried I was to leave my child for the very first time but I was reassured by the team and management straight away.
My son has grown so much and developed on so many levels that he amazes me every single day. He is extremely active but despite that, you have done and keep doing an amazing job!
As I previously mentioned, I could have put him in a different nursery, closer to our house but I chose you from day one and I am so glad I did as you never failed.
You are to me, the best nursery around!
Thank you for being there for my child every day.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for caring and loving him in my absence.
You are truly making a huge difference in his life and I cannot wait to see him grow as a little man.

Kind regards.

Overall Experience
Bright Horizons East India Nursery its been significant and so good in my son's life, I'm the kind of mother that was always concerned about where will I put my son and how is going to be, but as soon as I went for first time for the tour my heart told me that would be the right place for my child and I was right. The staff are so friendly and supportive, the atmosphere of the building gives you peace, and just a few months in the nursery I have seen so much improvement in my son, he learned to have a routine, he understands so many things and the best of all his key worker always give us updates about his day and any single thing he had learned. I truly recommend this nursery 100%.

Thank you so much to all the staff!

We are delighted with Bright Horizons Nursery. My son started before he turned one. He has learned social skills, table manners, and has developed his fine motor skills. The nursery supplies very nice meals, has a nice outdoor play area and facilitates regular haircuts, family photo opportunities and has a band who visit and play Spanish nursery rhymes to the little ones. The staff are very caring and friendly.

Review from J G (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one has been attending the nursery since the age of 13 months and it has been absolutely wonderful. When we were visiting various nurseries to find the right one for our child, what stood out immediately for Bright Horizons, East India was 1) the friendly staff (everyone always greets each parent and child with such warmth), 2) the big and bright rooms for toddlers with a huge array of to-do activities, 3) the well-structured program with a set routine for the kids to follow and 4) the nice outdoor play area.

My little one adores all her caretakers. As a mother, I feel very relaxed during the drop-offs when I see her rush into the room to hug her teacher! Thanks to the efforts of all the staff members I can see that my child is growing into a lovely person, is getting chattier and more curious by the day, and is also starting to develop friendships! We receive regular updates on our little one's progress with tailor-made plans for the next developmental milestone. We are happy parents indeed!

Review from Nasima I (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bright Horizon Nursery has always gone above and beyond for our child who has been attending nursery since he was 12 months old.
The communication between the parents and the nursery is always excellent as our questions are always answered immediately.
We are always kept up to date with changes, upcoming events and progress that our child has made through the app or via email. All staff members are extremely friendly and provide a welcoming environment for both children and parents.
Our child’s key worker regularly updates us with observations and activities which gives us ideas on how to best adapt learning at home for our child.
We love how much our child loves attending the nursery each and every day. He always mentions his key worker and the manager, how much fun he has with both staff members and peers.

Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do.

Review from M P (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child has been a part of the East India Nursery for the past two years and we have nothing but good to say about them. Starting from toddler room and the entire settling process that has been done with so much attention to his feelings but also acknowledging us as parents, respecting our wishes and ensuring they followed our routine for smooth and positive experiences. He has instantly bonded with his key worker at that time, the deputy manager, who has been very reassuring, but also very friendly and caring. Our baby moved to the Rising 3s after and all the ladies have been giving him so much love that he comes home at talks about them, singing rhymes in different languages, showing us how much he is progressing with each day. Seeing all the lovely pictures in the app is making our days at work so much easier.

Management team also organises different events for parents, celebrating children’s cultures and inviting parents to spend time in the room, sending regular updates and newsletters.

I am so pleased with the nursery! My son has been attending at the age of 21 months! His vocabulary has extended to a great amount and the nursery always accommodating to his needs. A big thank you to the managers for really putting all their hard work and effort into looking after their staff and therefore all the children are getting the support they need.

My daughter had been at East India Dock, Bright Horizons for almost 11 months now, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are amazing, very supportive and kind. She loves going to the nursery, does a range of fantastic, stimulating activities every day and really enjoys the food too! As I parent, I am kept up to date with what’s happening each day with detailed information and photos via the app. I feel totally at ease that she is being well looked after and is learning new skills and socialising with friends.
