Review from Gaurav B (Father of Child) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our little one. From the very first visit, it was clear that cleanliness is a top priority - the rooms, play areas, and facilities are always spotless and well-maintained, which gave us instant peace of mind.

Security is taken very seriously here. Drop-off and pick-up are managed through a secure entry system, and staff always verify who is collecting your child. As a parent, knowing your child is safe makes such a difference to your day.

What really sets this nursery apart is how much the children actually learn. The staff plan a wonderful variety of activities - from creative arts and storytelling to outdoor exploration - all designed to support development in a fun and engaging way. Our child comes home excited to tell us what they've been doing!

Finally, the location and access couldn't be more convenient. Parking is sort of easy, drop-off is quick and stress-free, and the staff are always welcoming.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear you've felt confident in our clean, secure environment and that your little one is enjoying the learning activities. We also appreciate your kind words about our welcoming team and convenient drop-off. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Overall Experience
We've been really happy with our experience at this nursery. Both of our children attend and genuinely love going, which says a lot in itself. They are settled, happy and clearly thriving in the environment the staff have created.
What we particularly value is how responsive the nursery is to feedback. On the occasions we've raised points or suggestions, these have been listened to and actioned thoughtfully, which makes us feel confident and reassured as parents.

Overall, it feels like a caring, well-run nursery where the children are known as individuals and supported to grow, and we're very grateful for the role it plays in our children's development.

Overall Experience

I am speechless to the care and the love my son has been receiving. They are constantly on top of things, communication is excellent, child safety I feel my child is in a safe environment, the kids are well fed as well. They have also proven to be supportive to us as a family when we were going through a very rough patch with our little one. I have even told myself even if I move 30minutes away I will still drive my child to this nursery because I know they understand his needs and know how to respond to all his needs. Learning my child has shown tremendous growth in a lot of aspects since joining the nursery.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your heartfelt feedback! We're so pleased your son feels so loved, supported, and safe with us, and it's wonderful to hear how much he's thriving. It truly means the world to our team.

My children are very happy at nursery and we are delighted with it.

Overall Experience
Honestly cannot fault this nursery. I'm a first time mum and signing my daughter up to this nursery has been the best! I was anxious the first week of my daughter starting as she had never left my side, I got constant updates and reassurance from her key teacher and others in her class (still do now).
This nursery has brought my daughter on so exceptionally well and everyone there is always happy to talk if I ever have any concerns, they are so supportive of my daughters progression and I really couldn't be more happier with them!

A massive thank you to all the team!!

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and how supported you've felt as a first-time parent. It's lovely to know she is progressing so well, and we truly appreciate your kind words for our team.

Overall Experience

My son has been in Bright Horizons Farnborough since he was just 11 months old, and now he is 3.5 years old in the pre-school room. The staff has always been very loving and caring. He has formed very special bonds with some of his teachers and his learning and development has been excellent. He is slowly becoming more confident, which is something that has been supported by his teachers. The the nursery is safe, fun, and a lovely place for the children.

Overall Experience

Since my son joined the nursery the staff have been nothing but amazing. We came to Farnborough after a bad experience at another nursery. The management team listened to all our worries and put us at ease straight away. I knew from walking through the building that everyone there cared deeply for each individual child. The nursery has supported us through many difficult situations we had at home such as multiple wakes up in the night. My son is now putting words together to create simple sentences, he has impeccable social skills and eats a wide variety of food since joining. Thank you to everyone at Farnborough for making us feel so welcomed and valued and giving our little one the best start in the educational world.

Overall Experience
We are very happy with our experience at Bright Horizons. The staff are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's development. Both of my children settled in quickly, thanks to the staff, environment and activities on offer.
The rooms are bright, and filled with age-appropriate toys and learning resources. Outdoor play is encouraged daily, and the activities are well thought-out to balance fun, creativity, and skill-building. (I also love they get to do so much messy play, as I'm not a fan at home!)
I love the nursery app, which keeps us updated with daily notes and photos, so we can see what our little one has been doing. It shows naps, nappy changes and what food they have eaten. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and learning in such a positive environment.
Their school ready programme has also been fantastic at preparing them and us for school

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons

Review from B D (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care and support my neurodivergent child received at Bright Horizons from ages 1-4. The staff demonstrated a deep understanding and commitment to making reasonable adjustments, ensuring our child's needs were met and exceeded. Their nurturing approach and early intervention strategies played a significant role in our child's development and well-being.
The team's dedication to creating an inclusive environment was evident in every aspect of the nursery, from the tailored activities to the compassionate staff. They worked closely with us to implement strategies that supported our child's growth, and their proactive approach to seeking additional support and resources was invaluable.

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons to any family seeking a caring, knowledgeable, and adaptable childcare setting. The impact they've had on our child's life is immeasurable, Thank you everyone, the manager, all the office staff and chef.

I just had to write a review on this nursery!
I was so worried about my baby starting nursery so young but I can honestly say my journey at Bright Horizon Farnborough has been so lovely. The management team are so understanding and supportive. They take their time, they get stuck in also and get to know your children. Every single member of staff are polite and fantastic with children. I feel like all my worries were for nothing as they look after my son so well and he is so happy.

Thank you so much to and team.

Review from Louise D (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my daughters attend Bright Horizons Farnborough - my oldest has been there since July 2021 - and I’ve continuously been impressed by them. Both girls thoroughly enjoy their time there - they get so much out of their interactions with both the other children and the staff. The team of staff have always been great too - attentive, and friendly, and I have great confidence in their abilities to look after my girls both safely and in a way to support their learning too. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Overall Experience

The management team is always open to helping you and your child, particularly during the settle-in period. They know your child by name and you have direct communication through the nursery app. They are kind and very professional. The nurses are selected carefully and have long experience and studies in childcare. After a long day of activities, children come back home happy and with a smile. I feel every day reassured that I made the best decision with this nursery, of all there are in Farnborough, even though this is not the closest to my home.

Overall Experience
Absolutely fantastic nursery. Not that I have had any other experience of any other nursery - I don’t need to as this is perfect. Bright Horizons has been very beneficial to the development of our son whilst providing us with childcare.
Every member of staff I have encountered at the nursery has so much enthusiasm and energy for the children they look after and from my understanding know all the children independently and what personality they have even if that member of staff isn’t their key worker.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Bright Horizons and have only good things to say about it.

Lovely friendly nursery, the rooms are clean organised and welcoming. The staff are professional and personable they clearly know the children well. My daughter has been attending for 2 years now and I could not be happier with the care she receives. They communicate well, they use an app which allows me to check in throughout her day.

Overall Experience

The whole Bright Horizons team and setting have been outstanding. My son settled in well with the help of his key worker and with the other lovely staff too. He's well-fed, spends lots of active time outside, and is making great connections with other children and adults. It's well run, and the facilities are excellent and provide a range of different activities to keep him entertained and to aid the development of lots of skills. He loves the soft playroom! We are very happy to send our little one here.

Review from Tina L (Mother of Child) published on 26 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so pleased with this nursery. Having moved from another large chain nursery, we were worried that similar big chain attributes would be here too but we have been so surprised. Our little boy is so happy here. He is always excited to go in and tells us he loves nursery. The room staff are attentive and caring. Yesterday my son was upset as we were attending his big brother's school nativity without him. So the pre-school staff quickly arranged a small Christmas sing-along concert for my son and his preschool friends. He was so happy! We couldn't believe they did that just for him to feel happier. The management is also brilliant at this nursery. Both young mums who genuinely care for all the children's wellbeing and often pop into the rooms too. There have been instances when my son is extra clingy at drop off and they have helped comfort him, get down to his level and talk to him, allowing me to feel extra reassured as I leave. The food choices are also excellent!

Reply from Amanda Barlow, Campaigns & Digital Marketing Executive at Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool

We're overjoyed to read your positive review! It's heartening to know your little boy is thriving and happy at our nursery. The personalised Christmas sing-along was a special touch, and we're delighted it brought joy. Our attentive staff, caring management, and excellent food choices contribute to creating a nurturing environment. Thank you.

A great nursery. The management team and staff have been very helpful, friendly and welcoming from the get-go. The activities are varied and superb; not to mention the high quality and plethora of food they serve during the week.

We can rest assured at work, whilst our child is in their very caring and capable hands during the day at nursery. The nursery app is an amazing tool for parents to keep track of their children during the day.

Top class! Keep up the excellent work!

Chloe Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2009
Chloe

I have always had a passion for child development and securing the foundations for children to succeed to the best of their abilities. Following completion of my childcare qualifications, I then went on to complete my level 5 leadership and management.

In 2009 I started my career as an apprentice and progressed along the way resulting in me being able to support and guide staff in the direction of success and fulfilling their goals in their careers.

I’ve worked for a nursery group in Brighton and Hove for 13 years which was then brought by Bright Horizons in December 2021.

I lived in Brighton my whole life before moving to Farnborough in 2021.

I am a proud mummy of 2 little girls and I absolutely love it.

Holly Job Title: Deputy Nursery Manager
Holly

Hi! I'm Holly, the deputy manager at Farnborough Bright Horizons.

I started my career as a bank staff at our Church Crookham branch back in 2014 and absolutely loved it. I moved away from the area to Devon for a couple of years before I came back and re-entered my career at Farnborough. I love making a difference in the lives of our families and strive to make everyone feel welcome and at home within my setting.

I have my little boy Harvey, who also attends the nursery and he loves it! Especially the soft play area and indoor slide. We look forward to welcoming you to the nursery.
