Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Highly recommend this nursery. All the staff are friendly and approachable, communication is good and most importantly my daughter absolutely loves her days at nursery.

I'm very grateful to the staff at Gaynes for the role they played in my children's early years.

My child has had such an amazing time at the nursery she really enjoyed she also misses everyone that looked after her I just want to thank everyone that looked after her I am glad to say this is such a great place to leave your child.

Great nursery and very flexible and accommodating in terms of settling in. All the staff are so helpful and really help you feel better when your child isn’t having the best start to the day! They are always doing hands-on activities which promotes the child’s learning. Both my children attended this nursery.

Since joining the nursery my son has had a very happy and positive experience and importantly looks forward to going into nursery. He has had lots of fun, developed in confidence and learnt new knowledge and skills along the way. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and the teachers/staff are very caring and approachable for both the children and the parents.

Have absolutely loved the nursery, the staff have been amazing and treated my son with such brilliant care. He has loved coming for the last 2 years and we will be sad to leave. Thank you for all your help and support.

My grandson was only in this nursery for 6 months and his grammar and friendliness has become so positive.

Fantastic nursery. My son was only here for 6 months but it was the best, wished I moved him sooner. Staff are great, nursery clean, days very structured. Overall fabulous.

Gaynes Park has helped our daughter develop in a number of ways from interacting with other children, using a fork and spoon and her language. The carers are friendly and very knowledgeable. I prefer when they tell you about what my daughter has been doing but would like to know more about how we can help at home. It would be good if the nursery had a platform like tapestry so parents could log on and see what they were doing and be more involved. I would also like staff to have name badges as staffing often varies and it is strange leaving your child with someone who names you do not know.

My son is a lot happier and responsive and the staff are very helpful as well. Especially when my son was not feeling well with high temp, they administered the first dosage of medication which was very good as it gave me enough time to leave work and take him home. Unlike other nurseries (I have been to), they would not give him any medication and would request an immediate collection.

I have 2 children enrolled in Gayes Park Nursery. My oldest is in preschool. She was in the baby room, (Ladybird), then the toddler room (Caterpiller) then the 2 year room (Butterflies) and finally preschool where she will spend 2 years. All the staff are great. Great communication. My youngest is now in the baby room. I love the convenience of the single dropoff for baby and preschool. The hours are useful for working parent.

The room team leader has made a real difference since she started early this year. She makes the children feel welcome, she is informative of events during the day and how my child has been. She set up a volcano with the children and is constantly looking for activities for the children and improving the day room. It shows that good leadership can transform a place.

All the staff are well equipped in first Aid and educational training and will always communicate with us as parents as to the progress of our child. They are warm and generally lovely individuals. My son has had an amazing time at Gaynes Park and has progressed so much both socially and on a communicative level. We will miss the nursery and the staff.

My son has been at Gaynes Park Nursery for almost a year. He started off with a lot of trouble but he got a lot of support from his key person. He got even more support from his key person when he moved to the pre-school room and that's when he really started liking it! His speech developed rapidly, he was happy to go to nursery and became more sociable which was the outcome we wanted. I was a bit disappointed not to receive any photographs even though they had taken some. We also were not informed of a professional photographer's visit so missed out on those as well. So if my son ever asks me about his nursery, unfortunately, I will have no memories to share with him which is my main disappointment. It was a huge milestone for him. I do appreciate the care and support given to my son though!

My son has really enjoyed his time at Bright Horizons Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool. The staff there have been great and have looked to help our son, especially with the educational requirements that he had. I would single out one member of staff for making a special effort in supporting our son and looking to find different approaches to helping him progress over the last year.

He was sad to leave.

My son speaks passionately about his day at nursery. He loves his key worker and they have a great relationship. He has made huge amounts of progress and is ready for school with an already developed love of books and numbers.

My daughter has been at Gaynes Park Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 2 years old and is due to leave for school. The care she received when she was small was great and nothing is or was too much trouble. Now in preschool, the learning she takes from activities and relays to us at home is amazing, not just education but life skills as well.

The garden is spacious and the overall space and facilities of the nursery are second to none.

Very happy I found this nursery and I would strongly recommend.
