Review from B L (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son really enjoys going to nursery and has settled in well since starting a couple of months ago. I can see him thriving in all areas of his development (social, physical, language) - he is learning so much with the varied activities and days out. It is a lovely little community where he can learn about different cultures and celebrations too. The staff are so lovely, attentive, and caring which has contributed positively to our son's experience at nursery. Communication with us has also been excellent. We love and look forward to seeing photos of him and hearing about his day from the staff.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased your son has settled well and is thriving-it's wonderful to hear how much he enjoys the activities and community.

Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with the nursery. The team is incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. My daughter absolutely loves going there, and it truly feels like a second home for her.
We've seen a huge growth in her independence and confidence since she started. The staff are patient, loving, and really understand each child's needs. The activities are well planned, engaging, and strike a great balance between structured learning and free play.

Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel reassured that she is in a safe and nurturing environment. We feel very grateful to have found this nursery and can clearly see how much she is thriving there.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how happy your daughter is and the growth you've seen in her confidence and independence. It's lovely to know you value our caring team, engaging activities, and communication. Your kind words mean a great deal to us.

Overall Experience

We just started two months ago so it is still early to say everything, but so far experience is quite good. Staff are friendly and welcoming. My child needed some days to adjust but now seems comfortable. Place looks clean and organised. Communication with parents is okay, could be little more frequent. Overall we are satisfied and hope it continues like this.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear your experience so far has been positive and that your child is settling in and feeling comfortable with us. It's great to know you've found the environment clean and welcoming, and that our team has made a good impression.

Review from A K (Father of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had a positive experience with Bright Horizons Spitalfields and couldn't be happier with how things have gone for our daughter. She started when she was just 11 months old and the settling-in process was incredibly smooth. The staff were patient, reassuring, and clearly very experienced, which made a huge difference for us.
Having now moved into the toddlers' room, she still absolutely enjoys her time there. She's happy going in and is in a pleasant mood during pick up, which says a lot. It's been lovely to witness her confidence grow as she's becoming more comfortable in the nursery environment.
She's already formed friendships with other children and built strong relationships with staff across the different rooms.
Opening hours are also very convenient for parents working normal (and sometimes long) hours.

The outside space is a positive aspect and not very common for nurseries in the area.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled at Bright Horizons Spitalfields and how much her confidence has grown. It's wonderful to know you've felt supported throughout the settling-in process and that she continues to enjoy her time in the toddler room. We're so pleased you value our team, outdoor space, and convenient opening hours.

Overall Experience

I started my son at this nursery in April, and have found the staff super welcoming and friendly. My son is quickly acclimatising to the nursery and they have made the drops offs and pick ups easier than expected. The updates on the app are super helpful to ease my worries about how he's getting on; and I enjoy seeing photo updates, and would love to see them more frequently. I highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Review from Kristen H (Mother of Child) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Bright Horizons Spitalfields since our son started in September 2025. From the very beginning, the team has been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development.
The progress our son has made in such a short time has been remarkable. His confidence has grown, his communication skills have flourished, and he's become so much more curious and engaged with the world around him. It's clear that the nursery provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and express themselves.
What truly stands out is the dedication of the staff. They take the time to understand each child as an individual, building strong, trusting relationships that make a real difference.

We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how happy your son has been at Bright Horizons Spitalfields and the progress he's made since joining us. Your kind words about our nurturing environment and dedicated team mean so much, and we're very grateful for your trust and support.

Our daughter recently started at Spitalfields nursery and has completely transformed during that time. All staff are really supportive and friendly and always ready to give the extra cuddles when drop offs are difficult.

Loved being regularly updated with pictures and what the kids have been up to during the day.

Overall Experience
We only recently started nursery and so far we feel peace of mind. The child minders show genuine affection and care towards children and were quick to understand our child and cater to her individual needs. Management has been open to listening to concerns and resolution is quickly actioned. We are pleased the nursery is committed to offering babies opportunities to develop and socialize that include trips to the farm and Market as well as French/Dance class and themed activities around holidays and cultural celebrations.

The staff has been very supportive of our daughter's dietary and feeding differences. We are also pleased with the number of bilingual (French/Greek/Spanish) children attending and the nursery has helped support our goals for our daughter's language development.

Overall Experience
Our son is almost a year and a half, has been at Spitalfields about 6 months now and absolutely loves it. Dropping him off in the morning used to be a worry but he runs off happily without looking back! We also love the regular picture updates of the babies out and about

The staff are very caring and look after him well. The head office have also been very accommodating when I've asked for some flexibility on dates / pick up times. All in all highly recommended

Overall Experience
Since our daughter has started at Bright Horizons Spitalfields, the staff have made her feel like she's surrounded by family every day and encourage her to explore new environments with confidence and safety.

We could not be happier and would not change a single thing. We never thought we would be so comfortable having a daughter away from us, but knowing she's at nursery and truly cared her gives us a peace of mind most parents strive for.

Overall Experience

My first daughter began her time at Spitalfields in 21' and for the four years she was here has set her up for school with great life skills. Cristina and Lisa we can't thank enough for making her pre-school years wonderful. We now have a 7 month old in the nursery who we feel is looked after by all members of that team. The whole staff across the nursery and management have been amazing and it's the best team currently in all our years at the nursery.

Review from Kyle R (Father of Child) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started at the nursery at 9 months old and has been there for five months. We've been so pleased with how well he's settled and how much his development has progressed. The team works closely with us to support key skills like feeding himself, walking and developing his speech.

The staff and management are kind, friendly and genuinely caring. Our son is always excited to see his carers, which says everything. He loves the extra classes such as Dance and Drama and French. The menu is healthy, with a good variety of balanced meals prepared by their onsite chef.

Located in central London near Spitalfields Market, space is more limited than some nurseries further out and the garden is smaller than others we viewed. However, they've recently introduced local trips, which is a great addition. Although it is expensive compared to some options, we feel it offers very good value for the quality of care provided.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased your son has settled so well and is progressing confidently with key skills.

We also appreciate your feedback on our central London space and are glad the new local trips add value. Thank you for your kind words.
