Bright Horizons Columbus Courtyard Day Nursery and Preschool

Our son has been at the nursery for 4 months now having started at 1 years old. The Columbus Courtyard team has been incredibly welcoming and we've been amazed at how quickly he settled in. He comes back a very happy boy each day and we have loved seeing the updates through the app of all the various activities throughout the day. All of the staff have made an effort to make him feel comfortable and as parents, we are completely at ease dropping him off with the lovely team each day. Thank you!

During my daughter's time here (since 1 year old) I have seen her develop and flourish in so many ways. I watched her go from being a little frightened of interacting with other children to making friends along her journey. Her preschool journey has been amazing to watch as she's come leaps and bounds. The preschool staff have been so wonderful in supporting her SEN needs, creating an accepting, supportive and safe environment for my daughter. She has grown attached to the preschool team, as they are almost in sync with her needs and desires. Bright Horizons Columbus Courtyard Day Nursery and Preschool has an inclusive and supportive environment for children with additional needs and making sure my daughter has felt as accepted and understood like any child should. She has grown and developed into her own happy little person with the support from such wonderful staff.

Overall a great place!

Our daughter loves attending the nursery here. Teachers (key people) are absolutely amazing. They are caring, full of love, and look after babies really well. My husband and I are very happy with Bright Horizon Columbus Courtyard and glad that we chose this nursery for our daughter. We look forward to continuously enjoying the nursery and getting to know all staff there. Thank you Bright Horizon Columbus Courtyard.

Bright Horizons Columbus Courtyard is a really good nursery. It is our son’s first nursery and we are very happy with it. We could see a good change and development in our son and we are really content with the staff. They are very caring and friendly and what’s most important is that my son likes them and he is starting to make friends as well. He only started seven months ago and we can see good changes in his behaviour. I would totally recommend!

An exceptional experience for the little once. Staff are warm, kind and supportive. We could tell our daughter is enjoying her experience here as she is always excited to come to nursery. The indoor playground is a very nice facility.

Everything is very well planned in the nursery for the babies and the toddlers. I love the place and the vibe and the fact that my baby is happy there. The staff are good and they keep posting photos so that I’m confident that my little one is happy.

We absolutely love this nursery. Our son has grown in confidence since being here. Everyone is kind and supportive. It is always upbeat, and all of the staff are absolutely so lovely and friendly. Every day he is happy to tell us about everything he has done in his day. He is learning so much without having any sort of strict lessons, and he seems to be absorbing new things all the time. I think it's doing a fantastic job setting him up for the school, and we will be sad when he has to move on.

Great nursery in E14. Lots of space for the little ones to play in. Very friendly and caring staff in the rooms. Our son has developed great learning and social skills by attending the nursery. He enjoys going to the nursery where he has made some very good friends. Would recommend.

I really like the care, nurture and learning given to my child from all the carers that makes me feel that my child is in a safe pair of hands. There is a continuous dialogue and activities to keep babies active and growing, food and huge play area available and babies get to go outside almost every day.

The progress and improvements under the new leadership have been remarkable, making our nursery choice a reassuring part of our daily lives.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough.

My child is always happy to go to nursery where he has made lots of friends, that's always a positive sign. Currently going through potty training and the teachers are very supportive. We can see the development as he comes home with new things to say.

This was the first nursery my son started with and I am so pleased we selected this nursery as his first nursery. I and my husband are very happy with the experience. My son was in the toddler room and now is in the blue room as he turned 3 years old. The caring staff and manager are all very friendly and take care of my son in a super considerate way. Definitely, I will highly recommend it to all parents.

Attending Bright Horizon Columbus Courtyard Day Nursery for almost one year and a half now. My Son is always happy to stay in this nursery, it feels as comfortable as at home. The caring staff and manager are all very friendly and take care of my son in a super considerate way. Definitely, I will highly recommend it to all parents.

My husband and I are really happy with the experience we have been having so far at the nursery. My daughter is in Blue room as she is almost 4 years old, and every time she comes back from the nursery, she is always super happy and excited for the multiple activities done. She draws and paints a lot, things that we found amazing to develop her creativeness. The main point of improvement is about the food, too many international dishes with often lots of spicy food that our daughter doesn’t like and I honestly don’t understand why they could not have more plain food which will be ok for every culture. It is also not 100% clear for us, what does it mean when they say that she ate “most of the lunch/tea”, I would be happy to know what exactly she ate. 3 weeks ago my daughter had bad constipation and that’s where I found out that she was mainly eating rice! If I had received more details about what she was actually eating, I could have compensated with a different type of food at home.

My son started nursery at 9 months of age and has been going on and off due to this pandemic situation. However, the Columbus Courtyard daycare has been exceptionally good for him. I love the management and their personal approach. They never disregard your questions and are always happy to help. The staff keeps moving but I think they have a good number of long service staff too. Overall, I feel pretty confident in sending my son as I feel secure and safe about the entire environment.

My daughter has been at Columbus Courtyard since she was 6 months old (she is now 26 months). This nursery has the most caring, dedicated and attentive staff you can find. This is truly a 2nd home for my daughter. Her key person always keeps us updated on her progress and areas to work on, and most importantly - she loves her. Each child has a personalised approach to milestones, be it the language skills or potty training. Almost every day my daughter goes out of the nursery with some sort of creation of her own - from the various arts, music, baking and other excellent activities. Above all, I can really see that she is happy there. I must also say that the nursery has adapted to the new pandemic-related requirements surprisingly quickly and well, an example to other organisations. All in all, the Columbus Courtyard nursery team is like a family to us now. We are very thankful.

Very professional and warm nursery. You always feel that staff know and love your child. Activities and learning milestones are great. I feel reassured when leaving my child in the morning, and he doesn't want to leave in the evening.
