My daughter has only been attending here for around 2 months and she's already settled in so well! She's quite a shy baby but instantly bonded with her key person from the day she started! When we pick her up, she doesn't even acknowledge us as she's clearly had the best day. The nursery even manage to get her to eat a lot of her meals and snacks which she won't even eat at home! The food they offer is a good variety and they also do a lot of activities with the babies daily. The daily updates on the app has been comforting as a first time mum back at work. The staff are so lovely and smiley and tell you all about your child's day when you pick them up. Fab nursery, we can't fault them!
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so glad to hear your daughter has settled in so well and enjoys her time with us. It's great that she's eating well and taking part in daily activities. We truly appreciate your kind words!
Our little boy absolutely loves this nursery! He transferred from another one when we moved area and used to cry at every drop off there but now runs through the door barely stopping to say goodbye! He seems so content and happy with the team there and we can see all the new skills he is learning from being there when he gets back home - would highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring, nurturing nursery.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your little one has settled in so well and is enjoying his time with us. It's great to know that he's developing new skills and feeling happy and content.
The staff are more than just caregivers; they're like an extension of our family. They genuinely care for my children and keep me informed every step of the way. Knowing they're in such capable and loving hands gives me incredible peace of mind.
The activities are well-structured and clearly designed to help the children learn and grow. I'm constantly amazed by how much they're learning and the new experiences they're exposed to. This nursery is truly broadening their horizons and setting them up for a bright future.
Thank you for your 5-star review and for sharing your positive feedback with us!
All the staff in the baby room have been amazing with settling my daughter into nursery. She is creating such an amazing bond with the staff and loves seeing her key worker every day. I'm so pleased I chose this nursery and have noticed an improvement in my daughter's cognitive learning and physical development. All the staff are caring and kind and I couldn't ask for better staff to care for my baby whilst I'm at work.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear your daughter is settling in and thriving at our nursery.
My little girl found the transition to nursery a little tricky for the first few weeks however the staff in the baby room took the time to build relationships with her, got to know her cheeky ways and she is now so keen to go in each morning and puts her arms straight out for one member of staff, in particular. Two members of staff, in particular, know the children so well and always deliver excellent handovers so we, as parents, know just how our little ones have been. Really impressed.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to receive your positive feedback and we're thrilled to hear your child is settling in and thriving at our nursery.
Our experience with Bright Horizons Wilmington Day Nursery and Preschool is exceptional. Our older child attended the nursery and he didn't want to come home after so much fun, love and care he received. Our younger child has been attending since he was 1 and he'll be almost 4 soon and absolutely loves the nursery and again, does not want to come home. The nursery and staff are incredible, caring, kind, loving and supportive. We feel very lucky to have chosen a wonderful nursery with amazing staff.
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled that both of your children have had such positive experiences and love being here. It means so much to hear that you feel supported by our caring staff.
Her communication with us, as parents, is exemplary. She provides regular updates on our children's progress and is always open to discussing any concerns or suggestions we might have. Her proactive approach ensures that we are all working together to support our children's growth.
We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication. Thank you for everything you do. You are truly making a difference in our children's lives.
Thank you for your heartfelt review! We're delighted to hear that our staff member's dedication and care have made a positive impact on your experience.
We've had a very positive experience with Bright Horizons Wilmington. The staff are so friendly, and caring and have supported my child in gaining his independence. They continuously provide updates on my child through photos, handovers, and general reviews each month. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
All the staff in the preschool room are kind and nurturing.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has been enjoying her time at our nursery.
Her speech has come on so much since being at the nursery and it is amazing to see.
We were able to go to a Mother's Day afternoon tea and saw her play in her own space and it was lovely to see her enjoying her time and showing off all her toys.
The staff are wonderful and I can't thank them enough.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you love the nursery and that your daughter is settled, happy, and thriving in our care.
The staff are always welcoming and approachable. My son took a while to settle however his key person went out of her way to ensure his needs and interests were met especially during drop off as he could get upset when I left him. The app for parents is a fantastic way to check up on your little ones during the day, with staff sharing activities the children have been up to, what they have eaten, sleep times, ect. It gives peace of mind to anxious parents like myself. I wouldn't send my son anywhere else. To the team at Wilmington Day Nursery... you are all stars thank you for your continued care and commitment.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your son has found a supportive environment at Wilmington Day Nursery.
The team dedicated a whole afternoon to a lovely Mother’s Day tea party inclusive of cakes, sandwiches and crafts! It was so lovely to spend time with the staff, others mums and grandparents as well as enjoying play time and crafts with my baby. Thank you all for a lovely afternoon!
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
Every time I pick him up, the staff always give me a good brief of what he has been up to and any issues they have identified etc.
Cannot recommend highly enough. If you want your children to be looked after and have good, positive, hardworking people around them then look no further.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for recommending us!
We have had two children attend Bright Horizons Wilmington and had no issues, haven’t seen one staff member I wouldn’t be happy to leave them with. All the staff are friendly, always smiling, helpful and knowledgeable. Management are approachable, understanding, helpful and polite. We have had one child graduate and the other is currently still going!
Hello, thank you for entrusting your children to Bright Horizons Wilmington. We appreciate your positive feedback and ongoing support!
I highly recommend Bright Horizons. The management and staff are always welcoming and friendly. The staff think of such exciting and interesting activities for the children, and I am always confident my daughter has had a fun-filled day. We check the app regularly which gives us all the information we need to know, but staff always have time in the evening to feedback. I only wish we discovered Bright Horizons Wilmington sooner, as it has been the most positive childcare choice we have ever made! I feel confident that when my daughter starts school she will be ready - due to the preparation, encouragement and care she receives. Thank you!
Hello, we are delighted to hear about your positive experience! Thank you for recommending Bright Horizons Wilmington!
Returning back to work as a new mum was very daunting but the baby room did everything possible to make me feel at ease leaving my daughter there. While settling they sent home pictures and would make sure she was happy and comfortable in her new surroundings. They care for my daughter as they would care for a family member and I feel at ease knowing she’s getting as much love, attention and joy at nursery as she does at home.
Hello, thank you for leaving us a review and we're so glad to ease your return to work! Thank you for entrusting us with her care.
Our child has progressed a lot since starting with the nursery. They have learnt loads and are developing a great character that we love so much! We can’t wait to see the continued progression as we watch our child grow. Thank you.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
Amazing nursery. My daughter loves it and has learned so much and always eats really well and they give her a variety of food. The staff are amazing and my daughter always leaves me smiling so I know she’s always having a good time. Can’t recommend enough.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
My son has settled in fantastically at nursery and all the staff have been amazing! We couldn’t have picked a better nursery! He loves all of the activities and food that are on offer. His key person always keeps us updated about his day and progress.
Hi, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear your little one is thriving at our nursery.
The nursery experience has been fantastic from the start to his current time here. The staff are incredibly supportive and our son seems happy once settled here. They give constant feedback on pickup and we are happy with the experience so far. We have seen a positive change in his development. Thank you all.
