Bright Horizons Chigwell Day Nursery and Preschool

I couldn't be any happier with the nursery. It is a fun, safe and nurturing environment and the staff genuinely seem to care. The activities are structures and educational and suited to my child's needs. I recommend the nursery to lots of other people. Any small issues I've had have always been quickly resolved by management.

This is a terrific nursery. Both of my children attend, and they are always engaged in interesting, fun activities in a nurturing environment. The staff are well trained and friendly, the management team are extremely approachable, and the communication with parents is very good. The facilities are great - plenty of indoor space, air conditioning, a good range of toys and activities always available... with the main selling point being their incredible outdoor space, including a range of play areas, a vegetable garden and football field, perfect for keeping our energetic children happy. As an added bonus they run a holiday and after-school club for older children. I trust them implicitly with my children and would highly recommend this nursery to any prospective family.

Our son started the nursery when he was 7 months old and left when he was almost 4. Throughout his journey at the nursery he spent time in each of the rooms, with all the different staff and at each stage was extremely happy and excellently cared for. He enjoyed going to nursery every day, so much so that when I went on maternity leave with our second child I still kept him there full time so that I knew he was occupied all day and kept happy. He particularly loved all the extra activities on offer such as yoga, football, French and all the time they had in the fabulous garden growing vegetables, having teddy bear picnics and such like.

As a parent it was so reassuring to know he was dropped off somewhere where he was happy to be and where everyone knew his name and he knew theirs. The owners always had so much time, knew all the kids and parents well whilst running a good, tight ship. I would highly recommend the nursery and be sending our daughters there.

When it comes to potty training, staff work with you to help ensure that there is continuity and prior to leaving for school, the staff work hard to ensure your child knows what to expect. I'm REALLY pleased with every aspect of this nursery.

I have recommended this nursery to friends of mine and would definitely recommend Bright Horizons Chigwell to anybody looking for a nursery for their little ones.

Delightful nursery and pre-school with outstanding facilities and grounds, and caring and dedicated staff. Both our children started out in the baby room and have developed into social, independent and confident individuals, having benefited from the environment created by the staff, curriculum and overall experience of attending a group based setting. The transition from our son into school reception was seamless and I'm confident that our daughter will be equally well prepared for school.

My son recently “graduated” from the nursery and my daughter is scheduled to “graduate” next year. When we were looking for a nursery for our son, the main things that attracted us to this nursery, was the purpose built building, vast open spaces and very friendly staff.

The facilities are very good, the food is great (fresh food and varied menus) and it is clear that the staff take great pride in their jobs and looking after the children.

When the children leave the nursery to attend school, there is a “graduation” ceremony which is a wonderful event for them.

Would happily recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son who is now two also attends the nursery and has done since he was 9 months old. One of the standout things for me in comparison to some other nurseries in the area is the outdoor space they have. In the summer the children get to play on the field and spend time in the garden which really appealed to me.

I will be sad (as will my son) to not be part of the nursery by August (as he starts school). Facilities and education are great and they have the extra bonus of having such a lovely space and a beautiful outside environment).

Staff are upbeat, encouraging, engaging yet have a natural ability of leadership creating a happy yet controlled environment, words can not express my appreciation of how happy I am that my child attends this nursery

The staff are attentive and invested in their vocation. They understand the need of flexibility and compassion of parents and their little treasures.

I have never once been let down by them and when my plans have changed at short notice they have always accommodated (this is one aspect of this nursery that I have been incredibly impressed by). The setting is beautiful with lots of outside space which the staff use to its full potential. Without exception the nursery staff are friendly and completely switched on to the needs of the children. I do not normally take the time to write reviews but I do feel compelled to say what a wonderful, happy nursery this is.

Beautiful nursery and friendly staff. Both my 2 children have been apart of this nursery, my youngest daughter is stilll there and she loves it. I have no worries leaving her in there hands as they do a fantastic job.

Would definitely recommend this to any parent looking for daycare, it really is top quality!!

My son has been coming here since he was a year old and is now 2 he has developed and progressed so well. He has been looked after and cared for extremely well in the baby room and in Turtles and has now settled into his new room. All the staff there are knowledgeable and put great care into and effort in looking after the children in their individual needs.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly a year now and she has come on in leaps and bounds. Not a day goes by when she doesn't tell us something great about nursery. I work full time so to know my daughter is happy, well cared for, allowed to explore & be creative is just one less thing for me to worry about. We can't fault the staff & their commitment to her fun and development. She loves it at BH Chigwell.

We have two children at the nursery and we would highly recommend Chigwell Day Nursery. The nursery is managed in an efficient, caring manner with the children at the core of every decision. It is a huge step to trust your children with people you do not know, but the expertise the Chigwell Day Nursery staff demonstrate will set any new parent at ease. The outside space is a huge benefit especially in the summer months, and the communication between the staff and parents is very clear and the management always take time to listen to any concerns or worries a parent may have.

My daughter has attended Bright Horizons Chigwell for just over a year and I can highly recommend the nursery.

The management is very welcoming and experienced. They reassured me when my daughter was settling into the nursery which helped the process.

Every child is assigned a key worker but all staff take an interest which makes me feel reassured that my daughter is in safe hands. They support her growth and development whilst keeping me informed along the way.

The nursery offers great facilities and the outdoor space is excellent.

Bright Horizons Chigwell offers a superb day facility for children, staff are welcoming and very experienced, with many of the team at the highest level in their qualification journey. For parents, more importantly, your child and their needs are met on an individual basis, and my children formed very close bonds with all the staff they have encountered in the nursery. All activities are met with an enthusiastic approach, and the children have a great time exploring their environment through play, in lots of different ways. Their outdoor space it great, age specific gardens, together with great grounds where the older children can explore at a more in-depth level. The children have an outdoor classroom.

After a recent refurbishment, the children can enjoy their own cooking room, they classrooms are great equipment, access to ICT (at the right level for their age).

Each age group has an enriching environment to foster learning and growth.

My son absolutely loves his days there and always gives me a great update about what he has done from painting, going on the library bus to what he ate. Thank you to the staff, as they have made the whole experience of leaving my son much easier. Highly recommended.

Both my daughter and son have attended this nursery and as a family we have always been really happy with the care they received. The facilities are fantastic, particularly outdoors. I would highly recommend this nursery.
