Over the moon to find the baby room at this nursery. Experienced, professional, warm, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely bright room for the babies. Have fully accommodated my baby's and family needs.

We couldn't recommend Bright Start Nursery highly enough! Our son has been attending since he was 5 months old and is now in his final year. He has formed amazing bonds with all the staff and has always been so happy to come in - it genuinely feels like we're dropping him off at his second...
The team have always been incredibly supportive with transitions and have gone above and beyond to meet his individual needs. When we had concerns about his speech, they supported us as parents, helped us access the right support and put strategies in place. It has been amazing to see his speech now thriving. Communication is fantastic, with great handovers at collection and regular updates about his day. Bright Start provides so many exciting opportunities for the children and families to get involved.
We are so sad he'll be leaving next year, but incredibly excited for our baby girl to start too. We couldn't ask for a better nursery!

The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly-you can tell how much they truly care about every child. What stands out most is their phenomenal communication with parents. They keep us fully updated on his daily routines, milestones, and progress while maintaining total professionalism and absolute respect for our family's privacy and confidentiality.
As a parent, the peace of mind knowing your child is in safe, loving, and capable hands is priceless. We can't wait for our newborn to start here as well. I cannot recommend Bright Start Nursery highly enough!

Our daughter was full time here from the age of 3 months till 5 years. All staff are incredible and go above and beyond to support, care, guide and challenge the children in their care. The activities they provide are varied and stimulating. My daughter has developed into a confident, resilient and very funny young lady, ready for school. We highly recommend this nursery. Amazing staff, a real family feel!

The staff at the nursery are fantastic. They are always so welcoming and were so supportive with my daughter whilst she settled into her nursery. Since moving up the rooms as she has got older, this brilliant support and friendly atmosphere has continued. My daughter loves going into nursery and I think that is the best compliment I can give.

This year there have been many changes to the appearance of the rooms including the outdoor and communal areas. It looks fantastic and is a huge benefit to the children that attend.
I would recommend this nursery in a heartbeat and am so pleased that this is the place I chose for my children.

From the moment you walk through the door, the office staff are friendly, welcoming and approachable. The ladies in her room have been wonderful-they immediately interacted with her, made her feel safe and comfortable, and have built such a lovely bond with her.
The nursery has a fantastic variety of toys and books, as well as a lovely outdoor area for the children to enjoy. Most importantly, my daughter comes home happy, excited and telling us what a great day she has had.
We couldn't be happier with Bright Start and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, welcoming and nurturing nursery.

I cannot praise Bright Start Nursery enough. My little one has additional needs and they have been wonderful in supporting them. The nursery has amazing, friendly staff that go above and beyond in making the children happy. They regularly hold special days, where children have the ability to learn and participate in different activities. I love the amount of access the children have to the outside play area and the mud kitchen. All in all I would recommend this nursery to anybody looking for a setting for their little one's.
Both of my kids have attended since they were 10 months old - one is now at school and the other is still there. We absolutely love Brightstart Margate, and all the staff that work there. Our children have been so loved and cared for, they have formed close bonds with their key workers, made...
Both of my kids have attended since they were 10 months old - one is now at school and the other is still there. We absolutely love Brightstart Margate, and all the staff that work there. Our children have been so loved and cared for, they have formed close bonds with their key workers, made friends, eaten nutritious meals, enjoy an huge range of activities and have always been happy. Leaving kids at a nursery can feel overwhelming, especially when they are babies, but they have thrived here and the baby room in particular is wonderful, the staff have so much experience and I trust them wholeheartedly. I'll be sad when we no longer have children there!
Wonderful nursery! Staff are amazing, rooms are spacious and bright, great outdoor space. Varied menu. Loads of photo updates regularly on the app. Second child at the nursery now and I'm so pleased - couldn't recommend more!

Communication is top priority and ensuring the children's best interests are at heart runs through the whole nursery! We have had 2 children lucky enough to be at bright start and couldn't fault it!

The staff are genuinely amazing and have always been so caring, supportive and understanding. They've been especially wonderful with my son, who is autistic and has a speech delay. They've taken the time to get to know him, understand his needs and support him in the best way possible.
I'll always be grateful for how much they've done for both of my boys. I would genuinely recommend this nursery to any parent looking for somewhere they can feel confident their child is truly cared for.

This is a lovely nursery with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that has a real family feel to it. The staff go above and beyond to make sure your child settles in well, leaving them feeling comfortable and at ease. Communication with parents is excellent. One of my favourite parts of the day is picking up my child; you actually get to enter the room where they are playing, which is wonderful because you can see them in their element. The staff always provide a detailed debrief of their day and are happy to answer any questions. I highly recommend this nursery!

I cannot thank the staff enough at this nursery. Our second child attends this nursery and we have had nothing short of the best nursery experience including our experiences with our first child. The staff are kind, attentive and really show an interest in my child, his growth and development and have always gone an extra mile. The nursery itself is well set out and secure, the facilities are brilliant and there are always improvements being made. Lunches are also made in house for a small fee and are always nutritious.I would recommend this nursery 100 times over to anyone looking for a good nursery for their child.
