From his early years when we were concerned about his settling in, they were reassuring and patient with us. Over the two years, he was diagnosed with autism and the nursery were a massive support to us. They adapted to our child's needs and nothing seemed too much trouble. They celebrated his successes with us and helped him every step of the way, all the while becoming what I would consider friends to me.
Other parents with special needs children used to tell me of the difficulties they had had with some care providers but Crofton managed to support our son's special needs whilst making him "just one of the gang".
It made a huge difference to us and we are really grateful
In particular, we were very touched by how the staff handled occasions like mothers day and fathers day. They were even proactive to procure books on different families to sensitise the other children.
Our son has thrived here and we believe that a big credit goes to all the staff, teaching and non-teaching who have shown so much care and interest in his well being.
We have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.
Very happy with Crofton over the last 3 years. My son's development has blossomed during his time here within the different rooms. Currently, our son is in pre school and enjoys coming in every day and loves time spent with the teachers and learning new skills.
My daughter attends Crofton Day Nursery and has gone through every room during her time there. The carers in every room have looked after her so well and she loves going to nursery every day. My eldest daughter also attended the pre-school room previously and also loved her time at Crofton. It's a great nursery and the carers really get involved with the children and provide good feedback to the parents.
My daughter has fitted in with this nursery really well and it has made a noticeable improvement to her levels of confidence and socialisation. She enjoys her time here and comes home singing new songs and talking about new games that she has played. I have complete confidence in the nursery as her father, as they have always been really good in looking after her welfare and making sure that she is healthy and happy. This is a really lovely nursery and my daughter seems to be very happy here.
My son has been attending Crofton Asquith for just over a year. I have watched him grow into a happy, confident little man. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and are there to offer help and advice at every opportunity. The management team are friendly and approachable and will always find time to say hello and they have a strong presence in the nursery.
Our daughter has attended the nursery for almost two years since she was six months old. My daughter really enjoys her time at nursery and her attendance there has clearly added to her development and ability to interact with other children. I have always been impressed by the quality of staff who have looked after my daughter all of whom genuinely seem to care about her. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Meet the Team (2)
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.
