Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool

My son loves coming to nursery and is very happy coming. I am very happy with the care he is given. The staff are always very friendly and happy and my son has very good bonds with all the staff. I would recommend Abbeymore to anyone.

Really happy with the nursery. Staff are amazing and my son really enjoys going.

Thank you, Abbeymore team! :)

I can not praise this nursery enough. The nursery itself is lovely but the staff are the most professional and friendly nursery staff I could ask for. I have only seen happy children and this reflects from the happy staff. My child's keyworker has made us feel so welcome and that no question or query is silly. As first-time parents, the nursery team have made us feel so comfortable to go off to work and leave our child at nursery.

Lovely nursery with professional and caring staff. The nursery is clean and tidy with lots of toys for the children.

I have been a parent at the nursery for approx. 2 years and cannot rate this nursery enough. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we visited the nursery and the standards of care have never dropped. The staff team in my child's room are amazing and always tell me how his day has been when I collect him.

The nursery recently provided a free children's first aid course for parents. I, unfortunately, could not make it but I thought this is a brilliant service that helps us parents feel more confident with dealing with our children if they became unwell.

Abbeymore is a lovely nursery. The staff are professional and friendly. They made us feel very welcome and helped me to adjust to going back to work. I thought the free settle sessions were brilliant. They really helped us as a family to get to know the nursery and staff. I was able to sit in the parent room whilst my daughter was having a visit so I didn't feel too far away. The children's rooms are lovely, clean, bright and have lots of toys. The children are always happy and busy.

After visiting numerous nurseries in the area I have to say that Abbeymore stood out far more than all the others. The welcoming management and staff team, the lovely building, the happy children and the feel that you get as soon as you walk in and know that this is the nursery for my child. We have now been at the nursery for a few months and my child has settled well. We did have some tears but I was warned of this when we first started. We were given free settling sessions where my child could get to know the room and her new friends. The staff in her room are so lovely. When I pick her up at the end of the day they tell me about her day. She has always had a lovely day and comes home tired but happy. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and comfortable

Absolutely love Abbeymore!

Choosing a nursery to leave your baby at is a big decision, it involves a lot of trust and I am so glad I chose Abbeymore. My eldest has been there 4.5 years and he is so happy there that I have chosen to send my 1-year-old also even though we are no longer local. The staff are amazing, they are so kind and caring yet professional.

My son loves them and he will miss them so much when he starts school in a couple of weeks. The activities they do are great, they have such fun whilst learning and I am always surprised at what he has learnt each week. They teach the 3+ year olds zumba and football which is great. It is clean, spacious, they have great resources and there are always new toys to play with. I can always rely on my boys receiving a good healthy meal while they are at nursery and they always come home with full tummies!

I would 100% recommend Abbeymore to anyone considering it!

We have not been at the nursery long but my son has settled in the Bluebells Room extremely well. The staff are helpful, friendly and they have done everything to make my time going back to work very easy. The room supervisor spent time with me talking through what my son would be doing throughout the day and how he would be learning. All the staff take time at the beginning and end of the day to take me through his day. I have noticed he is eating better at nursery than he does at home. The manager and deputy have also helped my husband with his child care vouchers. We had no idea what to do but they made life so much easier when we sat down together. I was anxious about my son going to nursery, but I would highly recommend Abbeymore Day Nursery to anyone.

The little extras that the management provide is also great for parents. Every month they provide a takeaway breakfast for parents. I do not think they realise how much I appreciate this when rushing off to work. Thank you

Our daughter was at Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool from 1 years old all the way through pre-school. Over the years she developed in many ways and has excelled at Abbeymore, especially in pre-school. This is evident now that she has started school and is very independent.

The staff at Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool are enthusiastic and very caring and develop a great fun and respectful relationship with the children.

The learning programme in pre-school has been amazing and helped our daughter get a "head start" at school.

The weekly newsletter is a great way to keep in touch and know what each area of the nursery is doing, as well as communicating ad-hoc visits or events.

The children also did other activities provided by external organisations, eg football, Zumba and music. Great for confidence and team building skills.

An extremely valuable 3+ years of early development and learning for our daughter. Thank you everyone at Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool .

Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool has been excellent for both of our children. Our son has just started primary school, and the transition from Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool to school has been seamless. I think in a large part, it is down to the work and development they spend with the children in getting them to used to school such as routines, but also in the interest and excitement they instil in learning before school.

I can not praise this nursery enough. My child started at this nursery 8 months ago and is the happiest he has ever been. he loves his keyworker and all the staff in his room. Their dedication to their work is amazing. The nursery is clean, spacious and has lots of toys for the children to play with. I cannot wait for my child to be in pre-school. The activities I have seen and heard blow my mind. I would also like to say my child has never eaten better food. Great staff. Great nursery.

To all the team. Thank you so much for the massive contribution you have made to my son being such an amazing, caring and clever little dude! Thank you also for helping my dad when he drops him off, he is so grateful and speaks very highly of you all :) I'm sure he will miss you all but its time for our new adventure in Southampton! Lots of love.

My son has thrived at Abbeymore due to the amount of love, care and attention he receives from the outstanding staff members. Every nursery day he wakes up happy and excited and every evening he will show me something new he has learned. He receives the highest quality of educational activities, amazing resources and outstanding care. As a family, we couldn't be happier.

I have been at the nursery at different times of the day and the children are always happy and busy doing lots of activities.

Great nursery, supportive and reliable throughout my son's progress. The transition from one stage to next is brilliant. Impressed by the food in particular the new winter menu looks fab!! Putting my child into nursery was a huge step for me and the support given by staff members was hugely impressive. I couldn't recommend Abbeymore enough.

Both of my daughters have attended Abbeymore Nursery, the eldest who is now 10 and the youngest who is four and leaves at the end of this month. They've both established really good relationships with their key workers and know all the staff at the nursery. It has a nice close knit feel to it where I can talk to any member of staff and they know who I am and my daughter. They've always been happy when I've dropped them off and they love the food too!

I'll be sad when my youngest leaves nursery in a couple of weeks as she's had such a great time there. My daughter has become so confident and independent which will give her the best start when she starts school in September.

Our children have both thrived at Abbeymore, learned and developed such a lot and the staff have been wonderful. We would not hesitate to recommend Abbeymore to anyone. It is a great preparation for school.

My daughter has spent almost 3 years of her little life in Abbeymore, full time since she was 13 months until she was almost 4 years. We have been extremely happy with the care of the nursery and the staff, always so supportive and focusing on her needs. She has been so happy there, she still talks about nursery almost every day although she finished 3 months ago! I believe that she has grown into a lovely little girl, with good manners and always caring about others and loving animals and nature so much thanks to Abbeymore. She has adapted so well into Reception at school thanks to her experiences in the nursery. I also value that the staff have always been really stable since she started and they really listen and take actions when needed, and try their best to please.
