The communication from staff to parents through the app is always thorough and updated regularly about nursery life. The updates at the end of the day about what they have done throughout their day is also very detailed. The staff support and encourage the children extremely well. My child has gone from shy to confident and is thriving! It amazes me the knowledge that he comes home with after a day there. From the rooms to the staff, facilities, toys and food, I cannot recommend it enough!

Both our children go to the nursery and we have had a wonderful experience. There is a real family feel to the rooms and the nursery as a whole. You and the children get a really personal service. All the staff really know your children and quickly form a supportive bond. They really care about their happiness and development, celebrate the successes and support through the tricky stages. Even the chef gets involved and not only cooks them great food but somehow knows all the children! It is brilliant when they come home with new words, skills and knowledge. Knowing the activity plans and then seeing the feedback on the app really let you connect to their day. If you want confident, happy kids who sleep well after all the running around then this is the place.

The nursery staff go above and beyond every day to make sure my son has the best time during his sessions. He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech, he loves playing with his friends and he has learnt new signs to help with communicating. They always get outside to play or walk around the surrounding area, he just loves it so much!

My little one loves it here. From day one both parents felt she was safe and cared for, since then it has only gotten better. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere, with the child's interest at heart always. My little girl has started eating better since being here and is always so happy to be playing here (especially in the sand and garden). This nursery has great communication with parents and it feels everyone is so connected. We cannot fault it.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.

My 18-month-old has been enrolled here for three months and suffice to say he is absolutely thriving. He has come on leaps and bounds with his confidence, ability to play with other children and his vocabulary has really soared. He loves his key worker and all staff members, often spending the weekends telling me all of their names and he looks forward to his nursery days. The app is fantastic and updated regularly, staff are amazing and quick to call me with any questions and the setting itself is beautifully maintained - always very clean and tidy whilst allowing the children to make the most of the outdoor space and really use their creativity in play. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that my son will continue to thrive here, hands down the best nursery in the area.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your 18-month-old is thriving at our nursery.

A fabulous nursery in an idyllic location surrounded by fields, a paddock and trees. The refurb completed a couple of years ago brought the setting up to date with natural decor, taking inspiration from the surroundings. The staff have been there for a while, which solidifies relationships with the children, creating security, stability and continuity. The strong leadership has created a strong team, leading with care and compassion. The room staff are enthusiastic, happy and always greet the children with smiles and hugs. My son’s key people have been brilliant with his medical blips, ensuring he has his medication on time. The meals are home-cooked, varied and balanced. My son’s emotional, physical and well-being are paramount. The preschool room is bright, airy and welcoming. There are always activities out and forest school is a big plus! Staff encourage independence and friendships. I am confident that my son has had the best start to his education at Bright Horizons Chandlers Ford.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with Bright Horizons Chandlers Ford. It's wonderful to know that you appreciate our idyllic location and the natural decor that reflects our surroundings. Thank you.
I moved my son to this nursery after some issues in another. Bright Horizons has been a breath of fresh air. My son has absolutely thrived since being here and totally adores everyone who cares for him. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Kirsty began her journey in Early Years in 2008, when she qualified with a Level 3 Diploma in Early Years. With 14 years of experience in childcare, she also brings the invaluable perspective of being a mum to two amazing children of her own. In 2017, she proudly graduated from the Open University with a Foundation Degree in Early Years.
She joined Bright Horizons in October 2022 and is now thrilled to be part of the Chandlers Ford team. She’s excited to support both the staff and families in this beautiful setting and to contribute to the continued growth and success of the nursery.
Passionate about mentoring and supporting fellow practitioners, she believes strongly in the power of reflection and empowerment—helping educators become the best versions of themselves. This, in turn, helps the nursery flourish and ensures the highest quality of care for the children.
She has a particular love for outdoor play and learning, and with Chandlers Ford’s stunning grounds, she looks forward to exploring every opportunity to bring this passion to life. She’s especially looking forward to working closely with the children and families in the local community.

Her journey started as a nursery nurse and through dedication and a love for the profession, she worked her way up to management — including owning and running her own preschool, which was a particularly proud achievement.
She has recently joined Chandlers Ford Nursery from another Bright Horizons setting and is excited to be working alongside Kirsty and the wonderful team.
