Our son has come on leaps and bounds since joining Bright Horizons Gaynes Park. Every review and meeting showed us that they truly knew our son and that they loved his energetic personality just as much as we did. They listened to any concerns we had about his learning and development and supported us fully with helping him adjust to the arrival of a new sibling. Our child was happy, safe and looked forward to Nursery every single day. He is now confident and fully prepared for his next stage in education. We recommend Bright Horizons Gaynes Park.
My daughter started this nursery when she was 5 months old. As a first time mom, I was not aware of lots of development stages. I was really impressed with how this nursery helped in the overall development of my little one. Staff are lovely and knowledgeable and they know what they are doing. We use to get regular updates from the nursery on what they are doing and what they are planning to do and how it is going to help in the development of my little one. I have seen my kid grow with this nursery and am 100% satisfied with it. Totally going to recommend them.
Gaynes Park is a fantastic nursery. All three of my children have gone there, so they are like extended family. The staff are always lovely and really do care about the children! I honestly can't fault them, they are fantastic and would highly recommend them!
My daughter has been attending the setting since September 2021 and loves it there. The app is really insightful and keeps you up to date with your child’s daily activities. All the staff are warm and welcoming and as a parent, I feel really happy with the care that’s provided. Would recommend to others.
My child has come on so much since he has come here and he is so excited to go every day which confirms how great it is! Staff are helpful and friendly and it’s loving to be able to see abs read what my son gets up to each day on the app.
My son has been attending Bright Horizons Gaynes Park since he was 11 months old - he is now nearly 2. He was a lockdown baby so took a while for him to settle but the staff were amazing at providing a home from home and he now absolutely loves his time there. Lots of varied activities and caring staff. We are very pleased with our choice of nursery and would happily send any future babies here too
Staff are helpful and will aim to support you in various developmental stages, they provide a range of activities to keep the children interested and also do things like forest walks. They are very security conscious as well which puts your mind at rest. We are very happy that we secured a place here and if we have any further children we will be planning to send them here as well.
My son is nearly two after having joined Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool at 9-months old. Whilst he was upset to join nursery, to begin with, he soon formed firm attachments and over time began to look forward to his days at nursery. I have nothing but praise to give the team at Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool. Regular updates on the app, as well as a little debrief at pick up time, give my husband and I great comfort in knowing our son is in safe hands. It’s a delight to see him grow, and we firmly believe that his development is accelerated through encouragement from the Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool team.
We’ve had a great experience with the nursery. Our little one loves going and she is learning so much. The staff are really friendly and take a genuine interest in my daughter's development. The staff have always been very approachable and made me and my partner very comfortable when visiting the nursery. I am very happy that we chose Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Fantastic nursery for anyone wishing to enrol their children. My daughter has been attending for six months now and her learning and interaction has come on leaps and bounds. The staff here are fantastic and extremely engaging with both the children and parents. I have marked facilities and cleanliness as good just down to the fact that being a nursery and having messy kids around can sometimes give the impression of it being unclean, but overall it is very good and if that was a half star option I would have chosen that (more like 4.5/5 stars). Would recommend without fail!
Today is my daughter's last day with Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Nursery and I can say that without a doubt our daughter will really miss coming here. Both managers have been brilliant with providing all the information needed for my daughter and have accommodated for any requests we have had. The lovely teachers in the Butterfly room have been so kind and patient with settling our little girl. She asks to come to nursery every day and especially asks to see her key worker (who has also been amazing with her)! Highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for childcare.
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 11 months. She loves it here. The staff are wonderful and she always comes home happy with lots of positivity. She has really blossomed into a confident and happy child which I think nursery has helped with. My only slight criticism would be possibly communication about your child’s development could be better but that’s only very minor. A great place for children.
The care all the staff show the children, from the management team right through to the chef, is heartwarming. Anytime I have asked the nursery employees for advice or assistance, they have always done their utmost to accommodate me.
I have been extremely happy with the nursery’s policies and procedures throughout the pandemic and cannot thank them enough for the excellent job they do day after day; watching my son enthusiastically go into nursery each morning and re-emerge at the end of the day equally enthusiastically, full of tales of what he’s gotten up-to, makes the whole nursery experience a pleasure!
It can be very distressing having to send a child to the nursery during a pandemic, but once again, the nursery does a great job of informing us of measures they are taking, any changes that are made, and explaining or talking through any concerns we may have until we are comfortable.
The children take part in plenty of activities, such as gardening, painting, reading, and baking (to name a few). My son always has a great time when there.
The entire experience from the teachers, to the food, to the grounds. They provide excellent service all-round, and I can see this reflects in my son.
He continuously raves about all his teachers, the activities they do, the yummy food he has and the stuff he learns.
He’s now two and a half and growing in leaps and bounds.
I cannot rave about this school, the teachers and the chef enough. They are doing a brilliant job and love what they do, and I believe that’s what makes the difference!
My children attended here from 11 months to aged 4. They both had additional needs and the nursery was amazing supporting us as a family. We have been very sad to leave this September when they start school.
My kids spent 3 years at the nursery and had a wonderful time. They started as toddlers and now leaving preschool. The staff are lovely and clearly they care about the children and take a personal interest in their development. It is indeed a sad time for us as we say goodbye and the time they spent there will be cherished.
My 17-month-old has been coming to Gaynes Park Nursery since he was 12 months old. It took him a couple of months to settle in but now he absolutely loves it. All the staff are wonderful and have been amazing through my little one's nursery journey.
Gaynes Park nursery and the team have been nothing but welcoming, kind, caring and encouraging. My daughter has excelled in speech and confidence and I feel it is a great deal to do with the structure and care they provide.
My little boy has been attending Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 10 months old, he is now almost 2 and he absolutely loves it. He really enjoys his days there, he gives hugs to the nursery workers, he has made some little friends and he is a confident little man and this has definitely been as a result of attending this nursery. All the workers have been so friendly, they really care about the little ones and it is so reassuring that when I have to leave him and go to work, he is in a safe and caring environment. Thank you!
