Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of The Park Watford community and cannot thank our Key Worker, Nursery Manager, Deputy Manager and the wider team enough for the care, dedication and warmth they show each and every day.

Staff are kind and go the extra mile to give good handovers and ask about our home situation. Also clearly have strong personal bonds with my son from what they tell me about him at the end of each day. A lovely caring and fun nursery!

Big thank you to everyone at the Park Day Nursery!

I've met other neighbours who recommended this nursery to us and their children are grown up now!

We have used The Park Day Nursery for backup care on a number of occasions. The team (especially one staff member) have always been very welcoming and great with our toddler. They seem to give the children a great time, allowing them to play but also introducing an element of structure e.g. painting/drawing/reading activities. The food options seem to be varied and plentiful. The staff have accommodated our requests where possible, eg around nap times/lengths. Management have also been a pleasure to deal with when making bookings etc. Would recommend.

We couldn't be more grateful.

The teachers are wonderful and kind.

I cannot express enough gratitude to the entire staff for the exceptional care they provide to my child.

Exemplary nursery, I am never worried or concerned about my son at the nursery because I know he is in a safe, kind and caring environment with all the activities to cater for his curiosity, learning and sensory needs.

Through engaging activities and educational programs tailored to each child's unique strengths, it's clear that this is not just a daycare, but a place where children can explore, learn, and grow. Our family is grateful to be part of this nurturing community, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to others seeking a childcare experience that prioritizes genuine care, inclusivity, and meaningful development.

My daughter has enjoyed a happy, very positive experience at Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool. I continue to benefit from their caring, child-focused approach over the next two years. The managers and staff are attentive, kind, go the extra mile and really personalise their interaction with the children and parents. Best nursery in our local area!

The team at the The Park Nursery are all amazing. My eldest leaves soon to go to school however my youngest remains. When choosing a nursery for my second child I knew he would be happy, safe and develop as well as my eldest had. Everyone is so caring and both my children absolutely love the nursery. Everything from the activities and play to the food and care is fantastic.

Amazing, friendly and caring staff. Nutritional requirements treated very seriously. Children have lots of activities to keep them busy, learn and grow. Nursery provides very homey environment. Feedback is provided daily and parents can monitor everything on the app. My child is very happy here.

My daughter attends the preschool at Bright Horizons The Park Nursery and Preschool and I am very happy with the care and attention they provide. They have understood my daughter's needs and are fully supportive. She is autistic and she enjoys the setting and loves the staff. Management is very efficient. The nursery provides an app where you can track how your child’s day has been. The staff also provide daily feedback when you collect your child. I’m very grateful to the staff at The Park Nursery and would fully recommend them.

My son has speech delay, he is an extremely picky eater and I was extremely worried that he wouldn't settle and he wouldn't eat anything. But, to my surprise, he settled within two weeks, he became more interested in different types of food and in three months he picked up on his speech. Now, after almost a year, he eats everything, he won't stop talking, he is very attached to his teachers and his friends. I am forever grateful for everyone's help and support and I am extremely happy with my son's development. We are looking forward to another year full of fun, learning and love.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to The Park. My youngest child is leaving at the end of August as he's starting "big school" in September. My eldest child (now eight years old) started at The Park when he was nine months old, and we will be very sad to leave, but unfortunately, children grow up far too quickly. Throughout our last eight years, The Park has been like a second family, and both of my children have thrived and always enjoyed their days at nursery. The manager is amazing and always puts the children first. We have recently suffered two bereavements, but when I mentioned this to The Park, they straight away said they had the tools to deal with this if my child mentioned it, which is amazing and so caring. The team are not just staff, they are the children's second family, and they genuinely do care about each and every single child as if they were their own, and I honestly can not recommend them enough to any parents looking for a nursery.

My daughter has absolutely loved her time at Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool. She has been there for about three years so the team have supported her development from baby to toddler. She adores the staff and is very close to her key workers. I have no concerns at all that she is being well cared for by all the team. Activities are varied, the app is great for getting updates and she has grown in confidence, making lots of new friends. We chose the nursery in lockdown so our decision was based on convenience, reviews and the amazing outdoor space which they really get good use of. I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

The only thing I would say they could do better is offer language lessons, wellness activities and have more use of the woodlands area.

Our child has attended the nursery/preschool for the last couple of years. Staff are brilliant, we get an update of what he’s done everyday and if we have any concerns, the staff are happy to spend time to discuss with us. Our child looks forward to going to nursery everyday and staff changes are kept to a minimum so both us as parents and our child get to know the team well and enjoy a stable environment. Dealt with covid well and decent size classrooms and garden. Recommend.

Our family has had a really warm welcome to the nursery. Communication is excellent. My under 2 is calm and stimulated with the variety of activities. The team are really focused on maximising outcomes for the children in their care, and management is very present and supportive.
