My son has thrived at this nursery, the staff are engaging and passionate about their work. They encourage and support his development and share our excitement when he meets new milestones whether this be potty training or learning something new. The nursery always feels like a welcoming environment because the staff are so open and friendly, the toys are a little worn and tired but the nursery work hard to create new engaging areas such as the forest school.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear your son has thrived with us and that our team have supported and celebrated his development so warmly. It's great to know you enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and initiatives like forest school, and we really appreciate your kind feedback.
We love how the team will always give us an update on his day and highlight what he's been enjoying. They give him lots of opportunities to do the activities he really loves (forest garden, climbing and football) but also encourage lots of new activities and skills. The team have also given extra support to help with his speech and confidence which has really come on tremendously since starting at Longfield. We're incredibly grateful for all the team and the management team, we highly recommend Longfield Bright Horizons to everyone.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear how well your son has settled and grown in confidence. It's fantastic to know our team's personalised approach and support have made such a meaningful difference. Thank you for your recommendation.
My son has been thoroughly looked after from 1 year old with Bright Horizons Longfield. All the staff are so thoughtful and supportive, always encouraging his development with the warmest and friendliest atmosphere. I will always highly recommend and continue to use them for my family.
Thank you for your 5-star review and for sharing your positive feedback with us!
Lovely experience. My toddler started in April and struggled at the beginning but all staff were so gentle and supportive all the way, now he is enjoying his time at nursery. They have done a brilliant job teaching him to eat with cutlery and I can see brilliant results. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I was recommended this nursery and both my son and daughter have attended/attend here. The staff are very attentive, kind and caring which you see throughout the nursery. The communication is great between staff and parents. The procedures the nursery has keep the children safe. The nursery setting is spacious and open so the children have lots of room to play. It was nice before and since its recent refurb is even better. Both my children have been/are extremely happy there. I highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that both your son and daughter have had such positive experiences at our nursery. We're thrilled to hear they are extremely happy here. Thank you for recommending our nursery.
My child is in the baby room and since he started nursery, he has come on in his development in leaps and bounds so I am so happy with the nursery. Whenever I drop my son off, he always smiles at whoever comes to collect him so I know he is being well looked after. When we made some transitions, the nursery was alongside us with the transition to help us. The pictures I see when he is at nursery are always of him smiling and having fun. The meals that are prepared for him each day are healthy and filling which is good because my child loves his food!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your son is thriving in the baby room and enjoys his time at the nursery. Thank you for your kind words!
My child is very happy in her nursery setting and cannot fault the level of care she receives from all staff at Longfield, the app is updated regularly so I am aware of what she has eaten during the day, and they have supported us with potty training and transitions from longer to shorter naps. Absolutely amazing nursery my son went here as well he was equally as happy.

The team at Longfield Bright Horizons really go above and beyond to create a caring and safe place for the children.

This is a great setting. Our child really enjoys their time at Longfield and gets so much out of their time there.

The room leader in my daughter's preschool (preschool 2) is amazing, she is very welcoming, brilliant with my daughter and you can see brilliant with the other children. Any questions I have she will try her best to answer them! They always have fun activities to do, lots of crafts and baking.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! Your kind words mean the world to us. We look forward to continuing to provide a nurturing environment for your daughter.
Cannot fault the nursery at all, my son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here! He absolutely loves going in and is treated amazingly by all the staff there. Since starting in September his speech has massively improved, he is now potty trained and just happier in general. Staff have done an amazing job settling him in and their compassion and care doesn’t go unnoticed by us.
Thank you for your heartfelt review, complete with a five-star rating. It is a wonderful validation of our commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for all our children.
All of the nurseries in the local area I didn’t get a good feeling from upon visiting but Bright Horizons was so different. The staff are just the best and go above and beyond with our boys. I feel so comfortable dropping them off every day as I know they are happy, safe and so well looked after. Staff in the baby room are such superstars. My son is so fond of them and I love their kind and nurturing nature.
My other son is in preschool and through the years and they have looked after him so well. The activities are fab and the general vibe of the nursery is so lovely! I’m so glad we picked them.
Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation! We're thrilled to hear both of your sons are thriving at Bright Horizons Longfield. Our dedicated staff go above and beyond, providing a happy and safe environment. It warms our hearts to know your children are well looked after and enjoy the enriching activities. We're grateful you chose us!
My daughter loves going to nursery. The staff are all really lovely and she has an amazing connection with lots of members of staff. My eldest daughter has now left but often asks to visit when we collect our youngest daughter and she loves seeing the staff who are always so caring towards her.
Your thoughtful review of our nursery is greatly appreciated, we're overjoyed to hear about your child’s thriving experience in our care.

Meet the Team (2)
Donna began her career in the early years sector and has grown over the years through various roles. This progression has given her the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge and understanding of the different areas within an early years setting. She has completed her NVQ Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Early Years Care and Education, along with a Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management. Her passion for career progression drives her to support her team’s knowledge and self-development.
Donna has been with Bright Horizons since 2012. As a Nursery Manager, she believes that children are at the heart of everything the team does. By supporting and empowering the team, she helps to create enabling environments where all children can thrive—offering them opportunities to explore and engage in a wide range of play-based activities.
In addition to her professional role, Donna is a mother of three boys. Her youngest has attended the nursery setting, giving her valuable insight into nursery life from a parent’s perspective. This experience has deepened her understanding of the importance of ensuring that parents feel confident and reassured that their children are in a safe, secure environment where they can learn and grow.
Julie joined Bright Horizons in September 2006. She holds a Level 4 qualification in childcare and is a qualified Level 3 Forest School Leader. Julie has a strong passion for creating environments that spark children's curiosity, awe, and wonder. She particularly enjoys working in outdoor learning spaces and believes that these experiences are fundamental to children's development.
Julie's son attended the nursery from the age of five months, which allowed her to maintain a positive work-life balance. This personal experience has given her a deep understanding of the challenges parents face when returning to work and helps her empathise with their needs during this transition.
She recognises the vital importance of the first five years of a child’s life and values the critical role that the nursery and its staff play in supporting each child’s early development.
