We've been really pleased with the staff and facilities at Potten End Bright Horizons. The staff are great and so committed. They do loads of engaging activities with the children and really encourage them to learn in their own individual ways. The food seems nutritious and delicious - our son eats so well when he's there. They've recently renovated the outdoor play area for his room and it looks really lovely. Lots of outdoor play when the weather allows and they even did a trip to the pumpkin patch at Halloween! Updates and photos are good.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear your son is enjoying the engaging activities, nutritious food, and outdoor play at Bright Horizons Potten End.

The staff are amazing-so kind, patient, and always willing to listen. It's clear they genuinely care about the children and work hard to create a supportive, happy environment. One of our favourite things about the nursery is the fantastic outdoor space. There are plenty of opportunities for the children to go on walks and enjoy time outside, which our child absolutely loves. We've seen such positive growth and happiness since joining, and would highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear your child is thriving and enjoying the outdoor space. It's wonderful to know the staff's care and support are making a positive impact!

We are very happy with our son's progress and with the staff. When he first started, he was a bit unsure but with the help of the staff he has really come into his own and has started to develop personally. Please keep up the good work!

A fantastic nursery! My son absolutely loves his nursery days and I feel very confident leaving him in the capable hands of the staff. My son’s development has come so far since going to Potten End Bright Horizons and it has been great to see him make friendships. I also love that he gets a wide variety of home-cooked food. The staff are all wonderful and caring and I love hearing all of the updates at pickup or via the app. An extremely positive experience.
Thank you for letting us know how pleased you are with our nursery. Once again, thank you very much for taking the time to review us.
Caring staff and a great setting for the children to roam - they get outdoors regularly with the staff. The nursery app is very helpful and provides an extra communication channel for updates about nutrition and development.

The staff here are amazing. I couldn’t be more happy with the care they have given both my children. The learning and support that they have given all our family has been exemplary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery at all.

Varied experience for children, friendly and caring staff and lovely setting. Wouldn’t hesitate to send another child here, our second already! Both have really enjoyed their experiences so far and set our first up for school brilliantly.

My daughter really enjoys attending Potten End Bright Horizons. She is full-time (5 days, 8 am - 6 pm) and really enjoys it. Currently 2 and a half years old, she has been there since 11 months old - and has always had brilliant key workers and support staff. The nursery has really encouraged her learning and development (most recently phonetics) and she was able to complete her potty training with them as well. I would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery to send their little one to.
Hi, thank you also for your positive comments regarding our nursery and staff. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us your review.
