Bright Horizons Spitalfields Day Nursery and Preschool

My son started full time at the nursery at 8.5 months old and left last week as we moved out of the area. I was extremely impressed by the nursery, from my initial correspondence with the manager to the settling in period to the end of his time there. I really felt the staff genuinely cared about my son, and he flourished in the time he was there in terms of his development. I found the communication from the team excellent, and would highly recommend the nursery to other parents. Unfortunately, because he joined in September when covid restrictions were in place, I was never able to physically enter the nursery, so I can't comment on the facilities.

All staff are lovely and professional and the manager is a diligent and professional individual.

Our son has attended Bright Horizons Spitalfields for nearly three years. We selected the nursery because of the happy atmosphere amongst both staff and children. Our son has been cared for, encouraged to be himself and listened to throughout his time there (as have we!). The staff do all they can to engage the children, develop their curiosity and help them develop into kind, thoughtful little people. We have been extremely impressed with the way the team has managed coronavirus and we trust that our son is safe in their care.

Our daughter has been full time at Bright Horizons Spitalfields since she was nine months old. She has recently moved to the toddler room after spending over a year in the baby room. The staff are very competent and ably led the location manager. They have always been open to discourse and try to work with the parents when asked eg Potty training. The nursery is small enough that she knows all the staff. She always comes home happy and tired from a full day of diverse activities and we are very happy with her development there. Feedback can sometimes be erratic but never over important things and never due to a lack of carrying out enthusiasm. They have been professional during lockdown and have never cut corners of put our daughter at risk.

Our daughter has attended Bright Horizons for 3 years and we only have good memories from her time there. The quality of care is exceptional and the facilities are great. Our daughter has learnt so much throughout her time there, she still talks fondly about nursery and everybody that works there. My daughter has also built friendships which I hope will last despite her moving to big school! I highly recommend Bright Horizons!!

Thanks to the Spitalfields team for all your help during this difficult period!

This is a nursery with very happy children which is all down to the staff and management. My child absolutely adored the staff. Generally a very positive atmosphere for learning and most importantly safe. A great mix of nationalities as well. I would highly recommend the nursery for anyone considering a place for a baby, toddler or pre-schooler.

Our 2.5-year-old son loves nursery - from putting in the door code to saying hello to all of the teachers to hanging his coat on his peg. He has learned polite manners and independence and great verbal communication from interacting with the children and staff at Bright Horizons. He truly loves going to see all of the staff and team!

We were absolutely gutted to have to leave Bright Horizons Spitalfields (we've moved house). Our son had the best experience there. The staff were so kind and caring. It felt like every day he came home he had learned something new, they were so committed to his development. He was there from 10 months old and I would absolutely recommend them as a place to send your child.

And while the fees are very expensive, you are paying for excellence.

Thank you for all of your care and dedication.

Management is well organised, supporting parents and children alike, communicating efficiently and keeps every tiny detail on the radar.

However, the space is charming overall and has what is needed for the kids; as long as my child feels safe and happy there, I am too.

Thank you to all at Spitalfields Day Nursery.

My son (21 months) attends the nursery and completely feels at home there. The staff really do look after the children as if they were their own. They do truly work on the basis of ‘in loco parentis’ – with the absolute best interests of each and every child at the heart of everything they do, just as a parent would do for his or her own child. That is why the children are so happy and secure; so too the parents. It is such a happy, stimulating and caring place and I know we will always look back on this time with lovely memories.

My daughter has been attending Spitalfields since she was 9 months. The nursery has brilliantly followed her development and growth. Staff are lovely, very easy to talk to and on board with her needs and routine. She loves spending time at nursery and has developed a strong bond with her key persons and peers. The nursery have a getting ready for school program that is amazing and is helping her to get ready for school following her skills and interests. She takes part in lots of activities during the day and participate in different clubs (football, cooking, drama/dancing, etc) and do outings as well. She really enjoys the meals during the day and the chef is really attentive!

I strongly recommend this nursery.

My son has literally loved the time he has spent at Bright Horizons in Spitalfields. He has been going now for over two years from baby room to toddler room and now to pre-school. He thoroughly enjoys all the activities that are laid out for him, such as Spanish and football. All the staff work tremendously hard and they are well managed. I would recommend anyone working in the City to send their children to Spitalfields.

As mentioned by others, the nursery is more expensive than others, but we have been very happy with the standards of care that this buys.

There is a really safe, well organised and educational ethos to the place, but above all, it is great fun and immensely caring.

Slight issue is how expensive it is.

We are very happy with the staff and care are given to my daughter whilst she has been at the nursery. The nursery is helping my daughter integrate with other children and learn independence so we believe the time spent at Bright Horizons Spitalfields will set her up for a happy and successful start when she enters the school system.
