One is in the best care and is thriving so much due to the forest park team . I look forward to seeing the great activities they have planned for our little one over the coming months
We are delighted to receive your positive feedback, and we're thrilled to hear your child is settling in and thriving at our nursery.
We're very happy with the care our daughter receives at the nursery. The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about supporting each child's development. Our daughter has grown in confidence, communication, and independence since joining.
The learning activities are well-planned and engaging, helping her develop new skills through play. The environment feels safe and nurturing, and we love receiving regular updates on her progress.
The food is varied and nutritious, and it's great to see her trying new things and enjoying mealtimes.
Overall, we're really pleased and thankful for the excellent care, education, and support provided by the whole team.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear your daughter is thriving and enjoying her time with the team.
The outdoor space is too small and occasionally one can smell weed in the garden.
The management is not great and doesn't treat parents well - they seem to forget that we are a paying customer - instead of meeting parents half way to make things work, they are perceived as dictators, don't invite parents in decision making related to their own kids and only care about making things work for them - come up with nonsense excuses to cover up their lack of resources. If one dares to complaint, their regional director dismisses them and care team takes 28 days to respond to a question. Very poor customer service.
Staff is unhappy, they had some attrition and others are looking for better opportunities. Quite a few parents are unhappy too. As one parent said - it's a problem when the above see it as a business than childcare as all considerations and understanding/empathy go out the window.
Thank you very much for sharing your concerns. We have been in correspondence with you recently and we will reach out to you further in regard to the new concerns that you have raised. In the meantime, if you do have any further details or if there's anything specific you would like to discuss, please contact our complaints team at ukcomplaints@brighthorizons.com.
The staff have been great since our daughter started in January.
She's coming on in various aspects and seems happy to attend the nursery. We couldn't be more happy with the choice of nursery we made.
The smaller class sizes is, in our opinion, fantastic for the children.
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear your daughter is happy and making great progress.
Since my daughter started in January of this year, following previous care with a childminder she has absolutely thrived! She has great connections with all of the nursery team, and especially her key worker who keeps us up to date with insightful developmental observations. I could not be happier with the care and support she is receiving, she is really growing into an independent confident little girl, who is now fully potty trained - always leaving nursery with a smile on her face and a story to tell us. The food menus are fantastic and I can see via the app updates that she eats more whilst there than she ever would at home (ie a whole portion of melon and satsuma!) - excellent facilities and excellent staff.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear your daughter is thriving, growing in confidence and enjoying her time with us.
Our daughter started nursery last February and quickly settled in. Always looking forward to meeting her friends and teachers. She's learned so much and as a 2.5-year-old child, she can dress and undress herself which is wow, I'm so proud of her and thankful to the staff for looking after her and teaching her. Five stars for the nursery. Soon we are sending our son there.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us. Our team looks forward to welcoming your son to the nursery.
Since my son has started in September 2024, he has made so much progress. The range of vocabulary and increased independence is clearly apparent. All the staff are incredibly friendly, supportive and great with the children. The communication is super. Most of all my son is happy!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your son has made such great progress and is thriving with us.
You can really see the development in them. We are always kept informed and up to date on how they are both progressing.
Would highly recommend to parents looking to send their kids to a nursery/preschool.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that both of your kids are thriving and enjoying their time with us. It's wonderful to know you feel informed and confident in their development. Thank you for your recommendation.
Before Bright Horizons it was difficult to find a nursery where the children fitted in. But thank you to all the staff at Bright Horizons Bracknell for all the help and support and creating such a wonderful, safe space for my children to learn and develop.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear that both of your children thrived at Bright Horizons Forest Park. It's great to know our team helped your daughter settle and build confidence.
They also invite parents and children to activities outside of hours like going to the park on the weekend which was very nice.
Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear your child enjoys the activities and that the app updates keep you informed. We're glad you appreciate the extra activities like the weekend park visits!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that you and your baby love Bright Horizons Forest Park Bracknell. It's wonderful to know the staff's bond with the children and communication have made such a positive impact.
Since viewing this nursery and meeting the staff in March, I have been filled with such confidence that my son would be well looked after here. He absolutely loves being at Bright Horizons Forest Park Bracknell Day Nursery and Preschool and always comes out in a really happy mood when I pick him up. The staff at the nursery are honestly the kindest people and know exactly what they are doing, they are always happy to help and are really approachable. I can already see a great improvement within my son's speech/behaviour and his general personality since being at the nursery. He also eats a lot better and is happy to explore new foods due to the large variety that the nursery offers for snacks and meals. Overall, I am really happy with the services and staff here.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how happy your son is at Bright Horizons Forest Park Bracknell and that you've noticed such positive changes in his development. The staff truly appreciate your kind words and we're glad he's enjoying the meals and new experiences!

My son started in April 2023, the staff were reassuring and patient with his transition. Within a couple of weeks, he was walking in and excited to see the staff! They are so wonderful with him and he is learning a ton.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
The nursery is smaller than most in the area however this works better for us, as a family, as it gives a more personal feel. The staff in his room are all so caring and genuinely interested in us, as a family. The manager and deputy were so helpful when organising the settling-in period and you can see how much they care for the nursery and children.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled your son loves attending our nursery and that you appreciate the updates throughout the day. Thank you for choosing our nursery!
We are always greeted with such a happy demeanour and big smiles on your faces. It makes such a big difference.
A big, massive thanks to the in-house chef - been brilliant in dealing with food allergies. Attention to detail is impressive and we really appreciate your dedication to keeping our daughter safe.
Thank you so very much!
