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.

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.

We are really happy with the nursery. Individual approach, staff are respectful and interested in each child in a safe environment. There is a big garden with lots of opportunities for the kids to play and engage.

The nursery group have been fantastic with my son. He’s so much more confident in social situations and generally happy. The staff are brilliant and very attentive to his needs. I’m so pleased I chose this nursery for him. Thank you, team.

Our daughter is very happy here and enjoys her time at nursery. She has made friends with other children and gets on well with the staff. They do a wide range of activities which keep her entertained and she naps and eats well.

My child is very happy at Bright Horizons. Management is helpful and always willing to help and accommodate where possible. The staff in class are great. The making of the new Oak class has been a highlight for our while, who enjoys learning in this environment. We feel it is very beneficial for the kids to have this class as a stepping stone to school.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us.

I absolutely love everything about this nursery, my daughter has grown leaps and bounds, the staff are incredible, not only great at their job, but just so genuinely loving and caring with the children. They put my mind at ease and made my transition back to work so much easier. Putting my daughter into this nursery was the best thing I could have done. Thank you to everyone, from management to the kitchen team and more!
We couldn’t be happier with Bright Horizons and all of the staff we have met. Our daughter changing from one nursery to another was a worry for us as she had just settled, but she has settled in so quickly and so well, we are over the moon.

Settling in process for full days could be improved as currently only up to 3-hour settle session; a full day is up to 10 hours so we opted to do some half days before starting full days.

Jade has been working for Bright Horizons since 2017, where she started as a Nursery Nurse. She continued my professional development by completing a degree in the early years of 2020.
It is her passion to develop confident practitioners in their own practice to ensure they are contributing positively to children’s learning and developmental needs.
The rewarding thing about having a career in the early years is knowing that all carers are making a positive difference in children’s and families lives.
