Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool is a proud Eco-friendly nursery, reflected in its achievement of the Eco Schools flag, proudly displayed outside the building.
The nursery emphasises fostering independence across all age groups. Rolling mealtimes are practiced in every room, and self-serving is introduced even in the Baby Room to encourage autonomy from an early age.
Children of all ages participate daily in Boogie Mites, an interactive music activity designed to enhance every child's learning and development, particularly supporting communication and language skills.
The nursery features two expansive outdoor spaces with large climbing frames, including a Castle and a Pirate Ship, providing endless opportunities for imaginative play and physical development.
And while your child is busy exploring and having fun, the nursery will keep you updated via the Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep every parent connected with their child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time at the nursery.
For added convenience, drop-offs and pick-ups are made easy with accessible parking, a lay-by outside the nursery, and a spacious on-site car park.

Fantastic nursery and leadership team. My son has been with the nursery since 10 months and he is off to school in September. He has therefore been through all rooms and had a fantastic start to life. He has so much fun at nursery and has made some great friends. All the care staff are fabulous and we will be sad to leave them.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear about your son's wonderful journey at our nursery. We will miss you too and wish your son all the best as he transitions to school in September!
Our girls have attended Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool for over two years now and they just love it there. I feel that the adults truly care for the children and get to know them and their interests. They are very quick to adapt the day if a child has come in with...
The staff are very dedicated and are always trying to think of fun ways to engage the children in new learning and experiences.
I'm very pleased with how seriously they take the safety, welfare and health of the children and I feel that this is embedded across all staff members.
It is a calm and purposeful environment for the children where they are empowered to explore and challenge themselves. It has recently been refurbished and looks beautiful.
Parents are kept up to date very regularly through the app and we are notified of milestones and achievements frequently.
Thank you to all the staff - I would wholeheartedly recommend Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane.

She loves three members of staff, in particular, and a few more, the staff keep me updated on all activities throughout the day via the app, the nursery is always clean. I simply can not rate this high enough, 100% outstanding on all counts, thank you all, keep up the fantastic work ladies!
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled your granddaughter loves our nursery and feels so well cared for. Thank you for recognising our efforts.

There are always lots of fun activities for the children and play is always linked to development and learning. Very happy!

My little one has food allergies and as well as them having an onsite chef which a lot of nurseries don’t have, they cater very well and have excellent processes in place for allergies.
The staff are all very genuine and friendly. My little one enjoys attending and their sister will also be starting there soon too.
The updates on the app are useful and particularly of late, they have been excellent, with lots of pictures and details of their activities each day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the team.
Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. My two children have both attended, so we’ve known the nursery since 2018. We viewed many nurseries and Bright Horizons on Boughton Lane was the best choice for us by far. The facilities are great, the garden is huge, the activities are educational and fun...
Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. My two children have both attended, so we’ve known the nursery since 2018. We viewed many nurseries and Bright Horizons on Boughton Lane was the best choice for us by far. The facilities are great, the garden is huge, the activities are educational and fun but one of our biggest reasons was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. My youngest leaves nursery to start school later this year and we’ll miss the team a lot. I can’t thank them all enough for all they’ve done over the years.

Both my children joined following the closure of their first nursery setting which they’d attended since a very young age. Both my children settled extremely quickly thanks to the very welcoming nature of all the staff. The staff were also extremely understanding of our circumstances and worked very quickly to accommodate my children and our needs as a family. Communication in the app is excellent regarding the activities the children are involved with throughout the day and the observations are regular and reassuring. We feel very happy we are now sending our children to Bright Horizons Boughton Lane.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that both of your children settled in quickly and comfortably at Bright Horizons Boughton Lane.
We love Boughton Lane Nursery and have sent both our children over the last 8 years there. The staff are lovely, helpful and kind. The facilities are excellent. The main reason we chose this nursery was the outdoor space as both children love being outside in any weather. My little one that is...
We love Boughton Lane Nursery and have sent both our children over the last 8 years there. The staff are lovely, helpful and kind. The facilities are excellent. The main reason we chose this nursery was the outdoor space as both children love being outside in any weather. My little one that is there now enjoys the activities and he always learns something new. We will be sad to leave them when he goes to school in September.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to have been a part of your family's journey for the past 8 years. Thank you for trusting us with their care, and we wish your child all the best as they embark on their next adventure in school!

In the classroom, there are always lot's of activities for the children to do. I thought that the teaching about different cultures and festivals was a brilliant idea. Outside of the family, it is your child's school/nursery that have a huge influence on their lives and I feel confident that we made the right decision.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your son has thrived in our nursery over the past two years. Supporting children through transitions is important to us, and we're glad to hear that our staff have been able to provide that support.
My child has been at Bright Horizons Maidstone Boughton Lane Day Nursery and Preschool for only a few months now and only does one day a week currently but he has progressed so much already and made a very strong connection with his key person who has been great, both for him and for us, giving us...
Very friendly and professional staff who really care for them.
The food is also excellent, great variety and they really encourage a healthy, balanced diet and give the kids a chance to try something new. Overall, very pleased and would highly recommend.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words and hearing from our parents.

Bright Horizons Boughton Monchelsea is the best nursery in the local area. I have had experience with 4 other nurseries in the local area and this is milestones better than any other. Staff are professional, and attentive and support each child to their individual needs. They encourage structure, independence, fun and development to help the children become confident and ready to start school. They have helped my children to no end, especially my youngest who was only saying 3 single words when she started and 6 months down the line she is now stringing words together. My children even ask to go to nursery on a weekend because they enjoy it so much. Communication is impeccable, from daily activities to informing parents of road closures they really go the extra mile.
My daughter has been at Boughton Lane Bright Horizons from 11 months old to 2 years, 3 months. The staff here are amazing. They care so much about the children and my daughter goes in and leaves with a smile. Highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

Thank you for letting us know how pleased you are with our nursery. Once again, thank you very much for taking the time to review us.

I have 2 children that attend the setting in different rooms and the nursery has been fantastic in helping them settle in with lots of suggestions as to what may help with the adjustment. They were also supportive of my worries and very reassuring with regular updates.
The activities they do are varied and my eldest has learnt a lot from the nursery.
The staff take great initiative to care for the children and unlike other settings, it's rare to see/hear children crying. The children seem content and staff are supportive and encouraging. Fantastic and hands on nursery management. I tried another setting before but wish I'd come straight here.
My great granddaughter has been here since she was 9 months old, she is just about to turn 2 years old. She has learnt so much during her days at nursery, I cannot fault the nursery or the staff who show the utmost care to her.

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your positive feedback. We are thrilled your little one has now settled into the nursery and is thriving.
Staff are friendly and approachable and amazing with the children.

They make an effort to interact with children a lot when part of the current room and even management or when a child's moved to the next room. There's a really lovely fun atmosphere created and my daughter loves her nursery days. Rooms are well stocked, they get outside in the garden lots and different activities (even lovely messy ones!) are set up to aid learning/skills.
