My daughter has attended two Bright Horizons Nurseries. After one closed down, we transferred over to Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool. It's been fantastic so far. The staff are very happy and nurturing to the children and their needs. My daughter is always happy to go to school. As usual, clingy in the mornings but once I leave she goes to her usual happy self playing and making friends. She's very comfortable there and talks about her friends and the garden. I especially love seeing the photos and details of the activities they do daily. The management of the branch is especially attentive and helpful.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled that your daughter has had a wonderful experience at Bright Horizons Abbeymore. It's great to know she feels comfortable and happy, making friends and enjoying the garden.
Thank you Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool team for supporting and being passionate for my son whilst encouraging the parents. I'm glad that I chose Abbeymore. I would like to suggest labelling the names of children on their clothes to avoid misplacing in future.
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Bright Horizons Abbeymore! We appreciate your suggestion about labelling clothes.
He was so attached to us initially but the staff worked with us to get him settled at his own pace and without distress. Already, I am beginning to see changes. He gets involved in creative activities prepared by staff and he comes home so excited and eager to put his newfound knowledge and skills to use.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear about the progress your first child made with us and that your second is already settling in so well. We're thrilled to see his excitement and growth, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
I always feel like the staff really care about my child. I love dropping her off and picking her up, the team is always so welcoming. I have attended the parent days, I can and love being able to see my child in her setting. The updates on the app are really useful, especially at the start when you're used to being with your child all the time I found it much easier being aware from her seeing what she was up to. We treasure all the things our child comes home with - paintings, Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts. A truly fantastic team.
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled you feel your child is truly cared for and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere. It's great to hear the app updates and parent days have been helpful, and we're glad you cherish the creations your child brings home.
My daughter started at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool when she was 9 months old and she is nearly 3 now. She absolutely loves going in and talks about all the staff in her room. The room leader is so caring with her as well as all the other staff in her room. They always listen to anything I have to say or change with her routine and are always happy to adjust it. Getting regular updates on the app also gives me peace of mind. The management always have their office open ready to help in any way they can. I feel so reassured when I leave my daughter and can happily start my working day.
Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that your daughter loves attending Bright Horizons Abbeymore and enjoys her time with the caring staff. Thank you for your support!
Our son started his journey at Abbeymore three months ago when he was 10 months old. Since then we have so much improvement in his physical development, confidence, and social skills for which a lot of the credit goes to the team at Abbeymore. He enjoys his time there. They line some some fun and learning activities for babies, excursions, offer different textures and tastes of healthy food and snacks, and pay particular attention to any special needs or dietary requirements. We get daily feedback from his key person on his day. Together our son and his key person have established a very good bond which has really helped him settle in. Would highly recommend Abbeymore if you are in search of a nursery that has it all covered!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the team. Thank you for your recommendation.
We are very happy with Abbeymore Nursery. My child is now going five days a week and cannot wait to be dropped off. He always comes home with something new he picked up in the nursery, a new dance, maybe him carrying his own plate or a new sound he makes. We absolutely love seeing the pictures the nursery uploads daily, never get enough of those! The activities are creative and educating, we feel Thomas is being looked after well and the nursery is very well set up for many things we would not be able to do at home. Observations of the individual children are also really helpful to us parents to see how our kids are doing. And it's lovely to hear when they are all clever or discovered a new skill.
Thank you for your fantastic five-star review! We're thrilled that your son enjoys coming to Bright Horizons Abbeymore Nursery and is learning so much, from new dances to helping with his plate.
The staff are very helpful and friendly. They have always taken into consideration our requests for the well-being of our child. Our son was very pleased with his stay there. We, as parents, too. Every day they do lots of activities and learn new things.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to receive your positive feedback and we're thrilled to hear your son is thriving at our nursery.
The care and attention given to our daughter by the staff at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool have been exceptional. It's comforting to know that she is in such capable and caring hands. Their dedication to creating a nurturing environment is evident in every interaction.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of day nursery for our daughter. Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have had on our family. Highly recommended to any parent seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool has been nothing but amazing, all staff are very nurturing and caring and really hear the needs of the child and parents' requests. I feel, as a first-time parent, they really settled my anxiety and even more importantly, my daughter loves going to nursery now.

Since our son has been there, the nursery has come on in leaps and bounds. The garden refurbishment has raised this nursery above all the others we've seen. The staff are kind and caring and take time to settle the children in. We've noticed that management is regularly visible in the room and our child always wants to stop by the office to say hello and goodbye.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you've noticed the positive changes we've made, particularly with our garden refurbishment. Thank you for choosing our nursery for your son!
The initial tour was very informative, welcoming, with each room offering beautiful activities where all children were happily engaging with each other and staff.
Our little boy has settled amazingly, it’s a home-from-home environment. The room staff are always there to greet us with a smile in the mornings, we are kept updated throughout the day with updates and beautiful photos via the app. The management team work hard, they are approachable and always present during drop off/pick up.
Thank you Abbeymore for creating such a nurturing environment for our little boy, we look forward to his adventures with you as he grows, learns and develops!
Thank you for your heartfelt feedback! We're thrilled you chose Bright Horizons Abbeymore for your baby boy. It's wonderful to hear you appreciate our efforts. Thank you for trusting us with his care and development. We look forward to supporting his growth and creating more beautiful memories together at Bright Horizons Abbeymore!
Our son has SEN and they have done a lot to support him. They communicate a lot with us to have continuity between home and the nursery. He loves going there and feels happy to stay. All staff are very friendly and it feels like a big family. I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for recommending us!
The garden was redone last year which is now a wonderful space to play, I've not seen many local nurseries with such an impressive garden space.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
My son started in the baby/1-year-old room (Lillies) in December. The staff have been really welcoming and he seems to be really enjoying his days there. The staff are very attentive and seem to enjoy their work spending time with the children and he is comfortable going to any of them. We get regular photos of what he is doing and updates on how various activities support his development. He gets a wide variety of food and eats well every day. The management is consistently present and involved and overall it feels like a well-run and welcoming nursery. Really pleased we chose it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the team.
Being a key worker I needed flexibility, and Abbeymore has been very accommodating with this.
We are delighted to receive your positive feedback about Bright Horizons Abbeymore, and we're thrilled to hear your child is settling in and thriving at our nursery.
My daughter absolutely loves her nursery. She has been there from 13 months old and now she is two. Her learning curve has been tremendous during the entire course and she is a very confident toddler now. The staff are very caring and loving and very professional too. They provide kids with play areas, music classes, endless activities Indoor - outdoors. It is very easy to contact the staff and managers via their app system/phone. Always very quick to answer your queries!

"Education is the most powerful weapon with which you can change the world" - Nelson Mandela.
I grew up in sunny South Africa where the people are as warm-hearted as the climate. Both my parents worked in education and taught us the importance of working hard from a young age. I spent my childhood playing outside and have fond memories of climbing trees and making mud pies!
After the birth of my daughter, I developed a keen interest in how young children learn and develop. Knowledge is power after all. I enrolled on a BA(Hons) degree in Early Childhood Studies and went on to train as a Primary Teacher based in a Reception class. After the birth of my son, I worked in a private day nursery as a Preschool Teacher and later a Deputy Manager. Most recently, I have completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Early Years at the University of Reading with Early Years Teacher Status.
I live in Wokingham with my husband and two children. In my free time, I enjoy going for long walks in the countryside with our beloved Golden Retriever.
I hope to impart my knowledge and experience to my team so that each child in our setting can reach his or her full potential. My goal is to provide children with meaningful early years experiences so that they can develop a thirst for life-long learning.
Peninah's journey in childcare began in 2008, shortly after having her son. She quickly recognised her strong interest in supporting children to reach their full potential.
Over the years, she has gained a wealth of experience and qualifications. In June of last year, she successfully completed the Early Years Foundation Degree, further developing her knowledge and understanding of child development.
Her passion is to provide rich and stimulating environments in which children can thrive.
