Both of my children have attended Bright Horizons with my youngest starting at around 15 months and now getting ready to leave and start school. We have had a really great experience, all of the staff are amazing, they genuinely care and put so much time and effort in with the children. While there my son has made lots of progress which without the help and support of staff I don't think he would have made. As a family we have been helped through a difficult diagnosis and the nursery have shown us so much kindness and help. I will always be so thankful to the nursery for providing such a nurturing environment for him to thrive in, always making adaptions and tweaks. I wouldn't hesitate to recommended the nursery to anyone. The Senco Taylor has always been especially helpful and given us so much help and advice. A really amazing nursery and team.

From the very beginning, every member of staff made us feel completely at ease. They genuinely care about each child as an individual and create such a warm, safe and nurturing environment. Both of our boys have absolutely loved going in every day, which as parents is the best reassurance you could ask for.
The difference the nursery has made to their confidence, social skills and development has been incredible. The range of activities, learning opportunities and outdoor experiences has kept them engaged and excited, while the communication with parents has always been excellent.
Leaving is bittersweet because Bright Horizons has been such a big part of our family for so many years. We will always be grateful to the amazing team for the love, patience and dedication they've shown our boys.

Since starting, we've seen such a positive change in his confidence. I pick him up and he seems so happy and doesn't actually want to leave most days, which is amazing to see because I know he loves it!
The communication from the team updated on the app and knowing how my sons day is going is great!
The photos uploaded of activities is so nice to see and clear how much thought and dedication goes into creating such a safe and fun environment and I am so grateful for the whole team for everything they have done for our son to date.

My son started at Bright Horizons nursery when he was 12months old, and he has recently moved on to Reception. I honestly couldn't recommend the nursery more highly. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming to every child, creating such a nurturing environment. During his time there, my son developed so much-he learned a huge amount, made lots of friends, and always had fun. We are so grateful for the care and support he received throughout his journey at Bright Horizons.
Thank you for such a wonderful review. We're delighted your son had such a positive journey with us, growing, learning, and making friends.

I couldn't recommend Bright Horizons in Epping more highly. The team at the nursery make it the happiest, kindest and most joyful and relaxed place for little ones to develop. My son joined at 10 months and has had a wonderful experience. The team take the time to do amazing sensory, educational and craft activities every day, as well as taking them to the garden and even into the forest. My son has developed so well during his time there, especially his verbal and social skills. The environment is always light, bright and clean, and he especially loves all the meals and snacks. The app is brilliant for seeing what he's up to each day. I can't thank the whole fantastic team enough - especially two staff members who my son adores!
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. We're thrilled to hear how much your son is enjoying his time with us and how well he's developing-especially with his social and verbal skills. It's great to know the activities, environment, and daily updates are making a real difference.

We could not be happier with this nursery for our son. The staff are amazing with the children, very kind and caring. He gets fed throughout the day with a range of different healthy foods. The staff are always on hand if you have any questions or need any assistance. Our son always comes home talking about his friends and staff from the nursery. He has learnt so much since being here and it is a credit to all of the staff. I would highly recommend this nursery!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that your son is happy and thriving at our nursery. Thank you for your recommendation.
Everyone is so friendly at Bright Horizons Epping Day Nursery and Preschool and my children love going to nursery. I am so pleased we made the decision to send them as I can see they are really benefiting from attending. They eat amazingly, have lots of fun and love the staff.

My little one has recently transferred over to Bright Horizons Epping Day Nursery and Preschool from another Bright Horizons, the settling-in process was very easy and staff were so helpful and accommodating. My little one goes in with a smile every morning and always tells me about how much fun he has had at the end of the day. My son is in the preschool room and does a lot of cooking activities, they also have a lot of resources for the children. Epping also does an amazing forest school programme where they take the children off-site to the local forest.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your son has settled in so smoothly at Bright Horizons Epping and that our staff have been helpful and accommodating.

He has now been at the nursery 2.5 years and he loves it! He has built beautiful relationships with the team and some wonderful friendships with other children.
He learns new things daily and is always amazing us with his growing knowledge!
The team are all so friendly and go out of their way to support us in any way they can.
Simply put, we Love Bright Horizons Epping!
Thank you for letting us know how pleased you are with our nursery and for taking the time to leave us a review.
The management and team are the most supportive and encouraging core group you could possibly wish for your children - not only bringing out your child’s character but also helping them build relationships and find their way. I could not recommend or rate them enough!

The activities are varied, key workers are always keen to take the children out for short trips to the local park, library and forest. My boys have loved being at nursery and every key worker genuinely cares about our children. Thank you team for being so wonderful!

My child has attended Bright Horizons in Epping since 9 months old. She has loved every day of it, developed great skills and made lots of lovely friends. The carers, room leaders and management are all great and she will miss them all immensely. My other child now attends and enjoys going to nursery each day. The nursery always strives for good communication and make improvements where needed.

Our son was here from 7 months old to 40 months old. The skills and principles that they teach are exemplary and the whole place is a pleasant and safe environment, but what really made the difference was the level of care and attention paid to our son's individual needs. Every member of staff engaged and communicated with him positively, and was aware of his particular idiosyncrasies, whether that was fussy eating, his obsession with a particular toy, or the names of members of his extended family. When one or two staff are like that it's a blessing, but when everyone is like that it reflects a culture that is deliberately fostered. As parents, we were communicated with regularly and flexibly. Daily debriefs were full of detail and insight, connecting us to his development and reassuring us that he was being properly looked after. By the time he left, everyone felt like an auntie or an uncle. I would have no hesitation recommending this nursery to a friend.
My son has been attending Bright Horizons in Epping since he was 4 months as I own my own business so needed help from early on. I cannot praise the nursery highly enough.

My son has been attending Bright Horizons in Epping since he was 4 months as I own my own business so needed help from early on. I cannot praise the nursery highly enough. Our son is so happy there and we would recommend them to any parent. His confidence shines, they have helped us as first time parents giving advice on toys, activities etc and they really care about the children. The regular updates are lovely. We look forward to them and you can tell they really know my son! The team are outstanding from the management through to each and every helper. They greet children and parents with a smile and by name, it has a warm feel to it and all the children are happy going in and coming out. It has been a real pleasure to send my son there. He is settled and happy. We really appreciate all their hard work and efforts. Plus the food smells amazing and he eats a healthy and varied diet! Well run, with a hardworking and kind team. Five stars all round.
The nursery is professionally run by experienced staff. The nursery teachers are all very sweet and knowledgeable and you can see that they love what they do. My 3 kids have all loved going to this nursery.

Great nursery. My child is very happy there. They do lots of fun activities- crafts, playing outside, learning about recycling or planets, etc. The staff are caring and competent. The app to find out how your child is getting on during the day is also great.
