Bright Horizons Sonning Lane Day Nursery and Preschool

Our Son has attended Inglewood since he was one and is now nearly three. Our experience has been very positive. He has settled into every room he has been in and the staff are wonderful, he has formed some very close bonds. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The large outside space is a huge benefit of Inglewood and they spend lots of time outside. The small swimming pool with the option of lessons from 2 years old is also a bonus! My son is developing well so I certainly can't fault their learning activities, it's always nice to see what they've been up to via the app. The food provided is healthy and seems to go down very well most days so I assume must taste ok. In terms of costs. It's expensive but on par with the other main options in our area. My only negative is that on occasion the admin (e.g. communication around room changes) has been a little unorganised, but not a massive issue. What's important is my son is happy to be there every day.

My son is really enjoying being at nursery, he enjoys drop-offs and is always happy to see the staff. Staff are friendly and welcoming and activities are varied. Facilities are impressive and the food supplied offers a great variety. Having updates on the app is really useful too.

Lovely nursery with staff that really care about the children. It’s a great environment and I feel that my children are well looked after and the staff go above and beyond to make sure my children are happy. The managers are also on hand to help with any queries. We really recommend this nursery and are so happy with it.

Lovely nursery for our two children who have both settled in really well, with thanks to all the staff for being so nurturing. We especially love the outside space for the children to play in and the delicious food which the children really enjoy.

We chose Inglewood because the staff are all so lovely, the garden is big and green, and there’s so much space for our baby to play. He loves it so far and we can see him bonding with the staff in every session.

Friendly welcoming staff, great activities for kids, the nursery looks so lovely and Christmassy. Well done to all involved. Kids can’t wait to see Santa! Thanks for the tea and mince pies. Happy Christmas!

Inglewood has provided a safe and creative environment for my child. I would highly recommend it for new parents to start your child’s independent journey. The deputy manager has been very helpful in every way possible.

We’ve been with Inglewood for the last 6.5 years. Like every nursery, they’ve had their challenges, but they’ve worked through them always putting the children first. Not once have I doubted the standard of care provided for my children. The staff are your biggest asset. My children adore them and the variety of activities and games they play with them each day. The space indoors and outdoors, is unparalleled. The swimming pool and the ability to do lessons is an added bonus.

Our daughter has attended Inglewood since February 2021 when she was 11 months old. It has been such a special and wonderful place to see our daughter grow and develop. Every member of staff has been wonderful. The facilities and grounds are second to none. The activities the run are always imaginative and well designed. I’d recommend Inglewood to anyone who wants their child to feel special and comfortable in this incredible space.

We have had a lovely experience so far with Inglewood. Especially the baby rooms' maple and holly. All of the care takers are really lovely and dependable and bond so well with the kids. The activities are done quite well to aid the development of the kids.

Having sent 3 children to this nursery, we are happy with the care and development they have given our children.

My daughter started the nursery at the end of March and the staff have made a huge effort to settle her into her room and support her routine while she is at the nursery. She goes into nursery with excitement and is always happy to wave goodbye to me at drop off.

I have had both of my children in the nursery and have been incredibly happy with the care they have received. The staff team are so welcoming and obviously really care about the children and plan the most exciting activities for them. My youngest runs in every morning so excited to be there and even asks if it's a nursery day at the weekends. We could not recommend this nursery enough, not only for the care they provide, but also for the incredible facilities. We are so happy the swimming pool is reopen and our children are able to access this amazing resource.

Both children go to Inglewood. My oldest had started another preschool six months before moving to Inglewood, but had to relocate. Inglewood just fitted right with us. Our oldest had a very easy transition, making new friends and having new teachers, she absolutely loves going and transitioned from half days to full days without even knowing it. Our youngest was only little when she joined, she's a very clingy baby and isn't left with anyone other than parents or grandparents and she has settled extremely well. We were worried she wouldn't nap there well as she doesn't nap anywhere other than her own cot, but she naps there so well and sometimes longer than she does at home. She has started speaking and joining sentences, you can already see she's learning and she's only been there two months and enjoys going. We can't recommend Inglewood enough. The staff are so friendly and obviously very good with the kids. The only downside is the price, it is slightly expensive.

Being a very gentle parenting mum I was petrified of my son starting nursery. I knew I would get a feeling for what was the right fit for us and Inglewood was it. They have honestly helped us both so much with the transition, they have been very patient and totally led by myself and my son on how much time and when. They've always given my time to discuss any concerns and ease my worries and I can happily say my son really loves it there. He constantly repeats with things that he's learnt, a new song etc and has been crazy in love with his key worker. I would really recommend this nursery, especially to any anxious parent, you won't regret it.

Our family loves Inglewood. We had a terrible childminding experience prior and were left thinking our one-year-old was not suited to care away from home and I would have to stop working. I phoned Inglewood and spoke to one of the managers and explained our situation and they saw us the next day. Our daughter took to Inglewood like a duck to water, she bounces out the door when I come to collect her and tells us about the activities she’s done. She talks about her nursery friends on days she’s at home and we absolutely love seeing updates of what she’s up to via the app. We’re always surprised by the variety of activities - from visiting zoos, to bridge making in the woods or cake baking, there are always educational elements to develop various skills and lots of fun. She has picked up great habits and good social skills. The staff are wonderful and we have so much confidence in them. She’s now been there 18 months and we cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

My daughter (age 3) attends Acorn Pre-School at Inglewood Nursery and is flourishing under the nurturing care of the staff. She enjoys playing in the garden, painting, yoga, singing and dancing at nursery. She eats well and enjoys the food cooked on-site by the chef on a three-week menu. Pick-ups give nursery staff an opportunity to debrief parents about the day. The staff are welcoming and kind. I feel that staff know my child well and I am confident that I will be contacted should they have any concerns. The management team are always available to answer questions and support with financial matters. The nursery welcomes parental input and has offered online Zoom sessions to parents wishing to contribute their ideas. I would like to see swimming resumed for my daughter, maybe twice a week to make up for the loss of the use of the pool over the past year. I would recommend this nursery highly to parents.

My son joined Bright Horizons Inglewood Day Nursery and Preschool having struggled at another nursery. Moving him to Inglewood Day Nursery and Preschool was the best decision we made. He was previously reluctant to go to nursery and would barely talk to staff, however this is not the case having moved here! Our son runs into nursery in the morning and is excited to see everyone. He is keen to tell us all about the varied activities he takes part in. It is very clear that the children are in charge of their own learning and show the very able staff what it is they would like to discover. Outdoor learning is a huge part of the day and the beautiful gardens are definitely utiliised. The progress our son has made in a relatively short period of time and during these very testing times, is incredible and not just academically but more importantly to us, emotionally. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are professional and the environment is safe and caring, where the children are at the forefront of everything.

Inglewood nursery and the staff really put all my worries at ease. The nursery is very warm and homely and child-friendly. This was my first time putting my 2 and 1-year-old in a nursery. I know that I made the best decision to put my kids in this nursery. The staff are very welcoming, approachable and caring. I have absolute trust that they look after my kids and the other kids in their care like their own. I love the fact that the staff makes time to discuss your child’s day face to face as well as documenting it. My kids always come out happy and always look forward to going. The manager there is an absolute delight. She is down to earth and gets involved with the kids and talks to parents. What I also love about the nursery is their openness during these difficult times. If ever there are any issues around symptoms of covid, parents will be informed and minds put at ease as the nursery will take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety and well-being of the children. Thank you.

This is such a wonderful nursery, my daughter loves going there and it’s heartening to see her have such a great time. The staff are lovely and very caring and have ensured she settles in well ( I simply can’t thank them enough for this). My daughter is more confident and outgoing since she moved to Bramble room (2-3's) and her speech has improved tremendously. This is a testament to the splendid work the team does at Bright Horizons Inglewood Day Nursery and Preschool! Totally recommend this nursery and the great team!
