Wonderful setting, our child has developed dramatically since joining. As a child with little experience in unfamiliar settings, she is having a great time and loves the staff lots.

My daughter absolutely loves going to preschool. The staff are extremely caring and do such an amazing job. The activities are really fun for the children. As a parent, it's lovely to see such a great bond between my daughter and the staff. My daughter has made lots of little friends, gain confidence and is much more equipped for starting school next September. The nursery building itself is a little tired and needs a little investment.

Making gingerbread, hatching ducklings and releasing butterflies have all been favourites too! And we all loved a brilliant preschool graduation party recently - thank you to all of the staff for their efforts and time.

Our daughter has become a very happy and confident girl from being at Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool. The staff have built strong bonds with her and know her personality well. I would send future children to this nursery without hesitation.

I was nervous about leaving my child at nursery four days a week, but it turns out she loves it! A huge thank you to the Bright Horizons team for making the nursery a really positive experience for us all.

This nursery at the Canterbury branch have been nothing but lovely and helpful. As a single parent and university student, life can sometimes be hard to juggle and they have been helpful in building structure and routine into our day, as well as helping my daughter eat more kinds of food. The only issue I have had with the finance aspect, but again they have been understanding and helpful in navigating the complicated road of student finances. The staff are so gentle, kind and have built a lovely nursery.
The ladies and gentlemen at this nursery are amazing, always on hand to tell you what you need to know. My little boy came here until he went to school and they helped him so much with his needs. My little girl now attends and loves them so much, she enjoys her time there.

Our son started nursery at 8 months old, and it's been wonderful seeing him grow and develop in such a warm and friendly atmosphere. From the start, the staff were attentive and proactive in forming a caring bond with our son. This has made him confident, inquisitive and sociable. They enjoy lots of crafts, music, dancing and story time. The daily menu always looks appetising, and the staff are approachable, communicative and supportive.
The staff are very lovely, so I'm very happy.

Every time I drop off, the staff are always on hand to guide my little girl into the room and when I've picked her up in the evening, the staff are always more than happy to give me feedback on my little girl's day and how she's been. Very happy with the care my little girl is currently receiving.

Since my daughter started when she was 13 months, in August 2020, I could not have been happier with our experience. During such difficult and different times, all the staff have gone above and beyond to protect our children, whilst providing excellent care. I was so anxious starting my daughter here but that feeling soon disappeared. My daughter has grown and developed so much and has such lovely relationships with the staff. She is so happy here and I know she will continue to be through the next few years.
I am overall satisfied with the service the nursery offers. My child is extremely happy in this provision, and has built some good bonds with the nursery workers and has made friendships with other children, both of which, I feel are very important for her development. She goes in skipping and with...
