Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool

Over the last 12 months, our daughter has really thrived thanks to the staff at Bramingham. She quickly settled in (considering she started in the middle of a pandemic, this is a huge testament to the team!) We are always kept in the loop with how the day is going, and love catching up with her primary caregivers on her developmental progress. She has made friends with staff and children alike, thanks to the welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend Bright Horizons to anyone, and the value for money is fantastic.

My 2-year-old son has been attending Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery since the beginning of September after hearing many positive reviews on the nursery from the local community, as well as close personal friends. From the very beginning, the nursery manager has done an excellent job of keeping us informed and putting us at ease and is always very friendly and happy to assist with any queries. The staff have all been very warm and welcoming, my son is always very happy and smiling when I or my partner come to pick him up, which reassures us that he has been taken good care of. He still gets a bit teary on drop off, but staff do a great job of consoling him when it’s time to say goodbye. The food provided is very healthy and balanced and there is always something new for my son to try as well as things he is more familiar with. We are very pleased so far and would definitely recommend the nursery.

My son started at Brighton Horizon nursery in June this year and we are so happy we chose them! I have noticed such a difference in his speech and confidence - bearing in mind he only goes 2 afternoons a week! The team at the nursery are so friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything you do! I would recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nursery!

My daughter joined this nursery at the beginning of March, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s fantastic. The new manager is brilliant. Very professional. I read the previous reviews and was unsure as to how it would go, but can honestly say it’s brilliant. The staff are kind and fun. My daughter loves it there and we have seen a change in her. She's flourishing and growing so much. Thank you to Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool. I have used a few nurseries now in Luton and this is the best by far.

We have been using this nursery for two and a half years with two of my children. Since then, they have gone through a couple of managers and also received a 'requires improvement' Ofsted rating. I have to say that it has been going down the road. They don't really pass information to parents, I found out by chance that my eldest was not speaking at the setting. Often took my younger daughter out at pick up with a soiled nappy. When I asked them to check at lunch, they said they check before. Also on a couple of occasions, I called them and the person was yawning loudly while I was talking. I found this extremely unprofessional. I am also trying to use up some extra sessions, which I found out that I am entitled to (again an unprofessional member said, it was purposely not communicated to the parents). Obviously, they have no intention to give me those sessions, but they just cannot say no, so instead of making up excuses or just ignoring emails, they can say that I ran out of time.

When my son first started at the nursery I believe I had been 'sold a dream', of a 'curriculum' which I saw no evidence of. However, I was comfortable knowing he was happy with the room leader at the time. Once she moved rooms that's when things took a turn for the worse. On one occasion my son had someone else's shoes on and another child was trying to go home with my son's shoes! On a second occasion, the staff lost my son's shoes so we left without any shoes! The last straw was picking up my child and him being drenched in his own urine after not having a nappy change in God knows when. Throughout all this I had attempted to contact someone in management but was constantly told someone would call me back which never happened, until I eventually had to just pull him out of the nursery. For the prices, I was paying the care received was terrible! I would never recommend this nursery to anyone.

Bright Horizons has been an amazing nursery for my son. He started off in the baby room and now attends preschool there. The staff in all the rooms are exceptional. Always smiling and prepared to go out of their way to ensure your child is settled and happy. The change I have seen in my son over the last 2 years is amazing. He is a happy, confident and bright child and much of this credit goes to his nursery.

Well done staff.

My son has been attending nursery since 2015, he loves every minute of it. My second baby has now started in the baby room and the staff have settled him in amazingly. The management at the nursery are very helpful, always giving advice/tips on behaviour and toilet training. The staff are very caring and loving towards my children. Cannot praise the nursery enough!

Graduation evening, what a wonderful one! I am really pleased with the display, the teachers and all the staff at Bramingham branch. It was lovely to see all the kids in their gowns and hats. The ceremony was superb, well led and emotional. Well done once again to everyone! After over two years at the nursery, I can tell my little one is going to miss everyone and have no words to say what a fantastic evening it was, even the photographer was excellent.

My little girl (23 months) is learning so much at Bright Horizons Bramingham Day Nursery and Preschool. She comes back home with at least one new word every day. She talks counts and trying to read as well. I'm really pleased with the nursery. Great place, great people, great toys and great meals (the menu is really good).

My son started here in April due to work commitments. He had never been around other children before but the staff understood this and worked with him and me to help him settle in. He quickly picked up and perfected his toilet training within a couple of weeks. Almost 6 months on and his speech has vastly improved and his table manners are excellent. The food is varied and sounds delicious - he eats all of it every day, more than at home! Cannot fault the staff at all and praise them for staying sane when we collect him at the end of the day!

My daughter went here from when she was one until she started school and now my son has now been going for a couple of months. Says it all that I have chosen to send my second child here! My daughter settled in really well and loved her time at this nursery and still loves coming to see everyone when she picks up her little brother. I always felt very confident that she was being well looked after. The girls are all very welcoming and really care about the children and work together as a great team. My daughter thrived here and now loves school thanks to the great foundation she had where learning was made fun. I always loved to see the creative pieces of work that she came home with and they all get lovely learning stories. The girls are all very hardworking, attentive and caring and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

My twins have been going to the nursery for only a week. They have settled in very well. key workers and staff are very friendly. Too early to tell about the learning standard.

Happy so far with the standard of resources, open spaces and food which my children are starting to eat better.

The fee went up a day after my children's first day (will go up in April) so this was disappointing!

My daughter was born at 24 weeks and has various medical and cognitive problems/issues. As soon as my daughter started SEN (Special Educational Needs) has been involved. Staff were very observant in picking up on her cognitive issues (delayed in more than 3 areas) and exceeded my expectations with her care, and in particular, supporting her in areas such as attention span and speech delay. This nursery and all the staff ensured my daughter did not slip through the net.

The staff are amazing and have helped my son settle in really well. He has learnt so much in the six months he has been there. Communication levels are very good from office to key staff in the different rooms.

Both children and staff are like one big happy family. I wouldn't want my son going anywhere else and look forward to his continued development and his masterpieces created.

A warm welcoming environment with staff who form good relationships with the children in their care - a happy child who asks to go to the nursery at the weekend, I know she is well looked after.

My son joined nursery at 9 months. He will be 4 in December. I am so pleased with how happy he is with staff from the office to the kitchen, to his room.

They always also include his older brother in discussions and I never had any concerns with his progress or his group. Staff are open and approachable and I have a lot of confidence in them.

My daughter attended the nursery and now my son. The staff are all very caring and help the children any way they can. I would definitely recommend the nursery to friends!

My daughter has developed so much since she started going to the nursery a few months ago. She has grown in confidence which is evident when she is at home and when she is dropped off at nursery and she runs off to find the staff without a second glance back. She is always content when my husband or I collect her and we often sneak in and peek through the windows to watch her playing happily!

The staff are all very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We honestly don’t worry about our daughter when she is there as we know she is being looked after very well.
