Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool is an exceptional nursery. Since my son first joined, his development has come on such a long way. He is autistic and has always struggled to express himself verbally and has never been interested in making connections with other children but Bright Horizons has helped him try and overcome these and he is now a chatty boy with lots of friends at nursery. I can't thank the staff enough for all their help and support and how they have cared for my son.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your son's progress at Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool. Thank you for sharing!

As a new mum returning to work, the anxiety of leaving my son was heightened. I was worried I would miss chunks of his development and be unaware of how he was spending his day. I could not be happier with how Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool has supported my son's transition to nursery. I can relax at work knowing that I will be provided updates and photos throughout the day. All staff members are incredibly friendly and he has developed some excellent bonds with familiar adults.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
We always feel that our son is looked after well and care is taken when he comes into nursery as he sometimes struggles to leave when he is dropped off. He always comes back enthused and has lots to talk about. Very satisfied with all areas.

I would recommend to anyone wanting to send their child here, my child has come on so much since attending, he's learnt so much. The staff that I have had dealings with have been more than helpful.

Can't recommend the nursery enough. I am so pleased with how my baby has settled into the baby room, the staff are incredible, hats off to anybody who works in a nursery but the ladies in the baby room are just amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they are a credit to the team. Thank you all!

My daughter started at Bright Horizons at 6 months old and has progressed brilliantly since being here. The care and attention provided for her has been better than we could ask for. We will be very sad to leave as she has made many friends, including staff. 10/10.

Our son has settled in very well to nursery here and comes home absolutely shattered. It has helped him being with all the different teachers/staff. Everyone at the nursery are so caring and loving. It's a joy to see them so happy as well as the children.

Great and professional care. My daughter has been in Bright Horizons Day Nursery-Canterbury branch since she was 20 months old and I would recommend it as the best nursery in Canterbury. My son has been in nursery since he was 16 months old and I can say the nursery has improved their service for the last 4 years enormously. The garden area is very large and children have plenty of space for outdoor activities. Teachers and assistants are really well trained. Most importantly in the nursery, the children are able to eat freshly cooked varied meals on a daily basis because there is a chef who is able to prepare their food on a daily basis.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for recommending us!
My son is supported in all aspects of his development. The staff do a tremendous job of communicating with parents and he is encouraged to foster his own interests and personality whilst working well with children and adults.

Since my daughter has been in the toddler room it has been a great experience! She seems very happy and always looks like she is having a great time in pictures from nursery. One member of staff in particular has been amazing and she is obsessed with her which just shows how well she is at her job.
