Bright Horizons Southampton Day Nursery and Preschool

My son has been going here since he was 1 (he's now 3), and he absolutely loves it! He loves going in each day, and he talks fondly about the staff when he comes home, so we know he must like them! The staff have always been friendly and supportive, always have a smile on their faces and always have time for you. If there have ever been any issues, they have dealt with them promptly and professionally, and will always keep me updated and are always quick to reply to emails if I ask questions. My son's development has come on so much, not just his learning but also his social skills. I would highly recommend Bright Horizons to any parent/s!

Where do I start! My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was around 10-months, and at first, it was tears all day and now she runs in and never looks back! She attends 3 full days and looks forward to this every morning that she goes! She quite often tells me about her day and laughs and giggles at the funny things she has been up to! She tells me her friends names and speaks about her key workers and other members of the staff a lot! She will even speak about her “favourite” people during non-nursery days and over the weekend! I always feel so content and at ease, dropping her each morning. I know the staff there are very fond of her, and it is clear to me through her development that she is thriving from being there. The staff are super helpful and always give me a full rundown of her day and provide a report each day of what she's eaten and how long she naps. I look forward to reading this every evening! I would recommend this nursery to anyone I encounter!

My son was very unsettled when starting at nursery, but the staff were so patient, friendly and warm, and now he loves it there, and he has developed so quickly. I couldn’t fault anyone there, they’re amazing and work really hard. Thank you!

I can’t speak highly enough of the guys at Bright Horizons Southampton Day Nursery - the care, love and attention they give the children is amazing. They have taught my son so many skills and have given him so many wonderful memories he, and we, will cherish forever. They have all made their impression on my son, which has stood him in good stead upon entering ‘big’ school. My son formed many fantastic relationships with staff and great friendships with the other children, which have endured even after leaving. Thank you all.

The staff in baby care have been absolutely amazing looking after my daughter since she started nursery. They have been very supportive, friendly and efficient. She has been so happy and settled in brilliantly. They went above and beyond providing outstanding care. Nothing is too much trouble. I felt very reassured knowing that she was having so much fun while I was at work. Her key worker has been outstanding as her carer. She is a natural with children. Thank you so much.

All the staff work so hard I couldn't be happier with what they do for my child.

To me the most important thing for me when it comes to a nursery is trust and that my son enjoys himself and both have succeeded my expectations!

We are very glad that our son is going to Bright Horizons Southampton Day Nursery. The staff are very kind and helpful.

We've only recently joined the preschool but already my little boy is loving it. The girls working in the room are lovely and very friendly. The setting is relaxed. I have no worries about safety. Very happy, my little boy will thrive there over the next year.

I find the staff at the nursery very kind, caring and genuinely interested in the care and development of my child. I have had great experiences with the staff at being thoughtful and patient when the child is moving rooms but also displaying the right amount of rule-setting and discipline. My child loves the nursery and can't wait to get there every morning.

My 2 year old attends 2 mornings a week and my 6 month old will be starting soon. He had a settling in session last week and I brought my 2 year old along. Lunch was provided for both of them and they were both made so welcome. The staff all know my eldest and are so lovely to him, and the environment and cleanliness of the nursery always really impresses me. I know my boys are in good hands with them and it means a lot!

The quality of care for children is brilliant but I feel the activities the children take part in whilst in attendance has reduced significantly since my child started yet prices have continued to increase.

In addition, I do not agree with children being kept indoors during hot weather when there is no air conditioning available. It must be awful for both them and staff.

Both of our girls have gone to Bright Horizons over the past four years. They have enjoyed every minute and learnt so much. The staff have been so caring and helpful. The food menu Bright Horizon has to offer is excellent and they cater for all diets. We will miss our girls being at Bright Horizon and we thank all the staff for all there support they have given us over the years.

Bright Horizons Southampton Day Nursery have excelled in everything I wanted in a preschool for my son. After him having a rocky start at a previous preschool he settled well and had an amazing year! The staff are always friendly the rooms are always clean, he always came home with a smile on his face, not a day went past where I could say a bad word about anything. He has learnt so much and has become a confident bright young boy fully prepared to start full-time education. Bright Horizons Southampton will always be the reason my son has so much confidence and hoping in a couple of years to come my second born will also attend. They have always welcomed opinions and gave me options, included me in my son's journey! A wonderful caring preschool.

I will recommend the nursery, can't give extremely Likely because we have joined the nursery from 1st of February.

My child is very happy at this nursery and I have no issues in recommending this nursery to my family and friends.

My son loves this nursery and adores his key carer. Am very happy with the environment and atmosphere created at the nursery. The learning around play is also great and it is apparent that time is taken to understand each individual child's needs.

Both the children particularly love the cooking activities.

My son started at the nursery about 2.5 years ago now and is currently in preschool and he loves it. I am so pleased with his progress, always telling me of the day he has had with lots of fun and learning.

All the staff are friendly and encouraging for him in all aspects of his growing up.

We will be sad to be leaving for school next September.

The staff are very caring and know the children as individuals very well. They are always happy to discuss how they work with my child and how else they can help support regarding eating or sleeping. They are very friendly and my child is very happy in the baby room. She responds well to all the staff who all contribute to her safety and well-being. They always let us know promptly if she has hurt herself. Her assessment book is filled out regularly and shows exactly what she has been working on and how she is developing. The nursery provides a wide range of foods for her to enjoy. I feel that my child has developed in every area since starting in May and I'm very happy with the communication, care and support that the staff provide my child. Thank you!
