My daughter started attending Bright Horizons Crofton when she was 18 months old. Although she initially struggled with being separated from us, she was always welcomed with a warm smile and a nurturing member of staff, which meant she quickly felt safe and happy to attend. She has now been at Bright Horizons for 2 years and we could not be happier as parents. We have daily updates which includes photos and a description of the wonderful range of activities available, and we have a 1:1 handover with a member of staff at the end of each day. My daughter's social skills have developed immensely as well as her academic ability, and we are incredibly thankful for the knowledge each member of staff has of each child enabling them to develop the whole child. We can't thank the BH staff enough, and we wouldn't think twice about sending our next daughter to the nursery.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased your little one has felt safe, supported and happy throughout her time with us. It's lovely to hear how much she's grown and how helpful the updates and handovers are. Your trust and kind words mean so much to our team.

Since our daughter started in September, we have been consistently blown away by the care, dedication, and warmth shown by every member of the team. She's faced a few developmental challenges, particularly with her muscles and mobility, but the way the staff have embraced and supported her has been nothing short of exceptional. They've worked closely with her support plan - gently encouraging her and celebrating each bit of progress - and the impact has been heartwarming. Her speech and mobility have come on in leaps and bounds, and I have no doubt that the nurturing environment they've created has played a huge part. What means the absolute most, as a working parent, is how included they make me feel. The toddler room staff are endlessly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in my daughter's progress. The end-of-day updates are often the highlight of my day, and these are supported by the app updates, pictures, and observations. Thank you everyone - Babies, Toddlers and Management!
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear how supported you and your daughter have felt and it's wonderful to see her progress being celebrated.
My son has SENCO needs and the nursery have supported him throughout his time to ensure he is happy, safe and seen. Their communication we me as a parent is excellent and have been extremely supportive throughout. He loves his days with them and the team are amazing.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has been in the baby room for the past few months, and she has come on heaps and bounds. As a mother of a particularly clingy child (at least at first), I have been impressed at how the key worker managed this effectively - my child was made to...
Very pleased!

I have had a child in Bright Horizons Crofton Day Nursery and Preschool since 2019. Despite turbulent times during Covid, the nursery has improved leaps and bounds with the new management. The staff are all friendly and show genuine interest and care for your children. Nothing is too much trouble and they have fun activities everyday. Their communication via the app is brilliant with photo updates on a daily basis. My son started Bright Horizons at 9 months and has just started school happy and confident with no transition problems. My little girl waits at the door with her bag on a Saturday wanting to go and see her key person. Thank you for doing the most important job and looking after our special little people.

My children have been going to Bright Horizons Crofton Day Nursery and Preschool since they were around 10 months old and overall, they have loved it. All the staff are fantastic and there are lots of interesting activities for them to do. They once described the food as 'the best in town' and the relatively recent addition of events, such as the Christmas fair and Mother's Day afternoon tea, have been really welcome.

All staff has been really helpful to us since the moment we enquire about the nursery. Our daughter has been with the nursery for 2 months now and she absolutely loves it. They are really helpful and polite assisting us in every questions we have. They encourage the children to bring out the best in them. Our little one made a connection with her key worker from day 1 and everyone looking after her, she would come home and tell stories of how she enjoyed the day with them. The staff are supportive as well in every stages the children are going through such as potty training. Amazing nursery!

I have many years of experience working in childcare and have always been inspired by children, In 2015 I started working as bank staff and worked my way through the ranks eventually becoming a Nursery Manager in 2022. I enjoyed my time working as a baby room nursery nurse and built most of my experience working as preschool room lead, I was supporting children with SEND and also took on the role of being health and safety rep for my nursery. This helped build the confidence and motivation to drive me to the management level.
Although originally from a retail background, I have always been interested in early years education. I trained initially in college and built up experience through childminding and after-school clubs before starting full-time in a nursery.
I am passionate about creating quality environments for children and supportive communities within nursery life for children, parents and staff. I aspire to ensure all children thrive and have fun learning and developing. I have since become a mother in 2021 which has shown me just how valuable these early years are for children’s learning and development.

I have worked in the childcare industry since 2016 and during this time I have taken part in many training courses to upskill myself and to provide me with the knowledge that I need to be a great practitioner and to lead a team of amazing people.
I joined Bright Horizons in June 2022 and enjoy working with a company that cares so much for the staff and the families in our care.
I began my childcare career as an apprentice working towards my Level 2 NVQ and have progressed over the years to my current position as Deputy Manager and SENCO at Crofton Bright Horizons. I have experience working with children of all ages, including those with additional needs and enjoy providing continuous change and improvement to all areas of the nursery to provide and encourage the best outcomes for all of our children.
