This is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 14 months old and is 3.5yrs old now. She absolutely loves nursery and skips in every morning with a smile on her face! Our son also recently started the nursery at 12 months old and has now settled in really well and enjoys being there too. We never worry about the children when they are at nursery and have the comfort that they are both in safe hands. The staff are brilliant and always go the extra mile. Would highly recommend it.
Really pleased to be sending my son to Bright Horizons, Willmington. The team work hard to always provide me updates on my child's progress and I am never worried about the level of attention and care he will receive there! A massive thanks to the whole of the toddler team, who do such an amazing job.
Two of the staff members, in particular, are just wonderful! The joy they bring to my son is amazing. He looks forward to coming in and spending his days there. The pictures we get sent are amazing, to see his progress during the day and what mischief he gets up to. He is always happy and loves his food.
I was incredibly apprehensive about sending my daughter to nursery and going back to work after maternity leave. The team are wonderful, they really do go above and beyond, especially the manager and my daughter is thriving. I would definitely recommend to other parents.
I just cannot imagine our lives without the Wilmington team! They are an extension of our family and are a dream to have looking after my daughter. I’ve never had any concerns over safety, well-being or how she is spending her days.
My daughter has been coming to Wilmington, Bright Horizons, since April 2022. We were a bit reluctant to send her at first because it is one of the more expensive nurseries, however, we’ve been really pleased and our daughter loves it. The staff are always very welcoming and approachable, especially two members of staff, in particular, they always have a smile on their faces. Even when they are super busy, they are happy to have a short conversation to let you know how the day went/is going. Our daughter has come on so much since April and a large part of that is because of her time at nursery.
The staff are always friendly, welcoming and warm towards the children. I am also greeted on arrival and picking up time, which I like too. I feel that my child is suitably stimulated and challenged. Her speech and understanding have come on leaps and bounds.
My daughter has been at Wilmington Nursery and Preschool, since she was 10 months old and now is in her last few months, before starting school. We have been so happy with the nursery and preschool and can't thank the staff enough for the fun learning, that she has. She absolutely loves it and I know she will miss going, once starting school. Although there are members of staff in the nursery that she used to be with, she absolutely loves spending time with all the preschool team. My daughter's updates, for food and pictures, are shown on the app which is also great.
Such an amazing nursery, my little boy has attended since he was 15 months old. All the staff are amazing and have made him feel so loved in each and every room he has been in. The management team are so friendly and helpful, I love how they are always keeping us up to date with any changes at the nursery. I wouldn’t ever send my child anywhere else he is so happy here and regularly talks about the staff there too. Honestly can not recommend this nursery enough.
My little boy is two and he has been going to bright horizons for about four months. We are delighted with how he has settled down in the nursery. They have been brilliant with potty training and everything has been very relaxed and no pressure, which is a big relief to all parents. The staff are amazing and so enthusiastic, I love collecting him and hearing how his day has gone and seeing the app photos or videos.
I have a little boy who is three years old and he has been attending since he was sixteen months old and absolutely loves it. We have just upped his sessions as every day he asks to go. He loves it so much and the staff are so kind and caring. I also have a little girl who is eighteen months and she is so settled which I was really worried about due to the effect of lockdown on her. However, the staff in baby room have been amazing at settling her in and making her feel comfortable and she now runs in. I could not recommend this nursery enough they always go above and beyond with both of my children.
Bright Horizons, Wilmington is a friendly, safe and welcoming nursery. We have never had to worry about leaving our son, as the quality of education and provision is excellent. The staff greet us each morning with a smile, they know our son well and can feedback to us each day on his progress really specifically. The quality of care is very good.
My daughter loves going to pre-school at Bright Horizons in Wilmington. She’s made lots of friends and lots of progress, she’s become so much more confident since starting and I can’t believe how much she’s learnt. She loves the staff and so do we, they welcome the children with open arms and are very attentive, giving you information at home time on how their day has been.
As first-time parents, we were nervous about putting our child into nursery for 4 long days a week. The nursery did 6 settling-in sessions which were brilliant as it meant our child got to ease into it gently. We needn't have worried though as our child absolutely loves going there and that's a credit to the amazing staff who work there. They are all brilliant and you can see how much care and attention they give to the children. The catering is also fantastic and our child gets to try a varied diet. We couldn't recommend the nursery more highly.
The nursery is well managed and their ensure positive and respectful relationships with families and children. My daughter is well cared for and has lots of fun. Any concerns I have raised have been addressed straightaway.
If the menu could be revised to ensure they are appealing, meals to toddlers that would be great. i.e, not a chickpea curry (three year olds don't like it!)
My daughter thoroughly enjoys going to Bright Horizons Wilmington. The staff are all brilliant and I feel comfortable leaving her there knowing she is safe and well looked after. When she first started the nursery in January 2020 the settling in sessions were great and helped to ease her in. It's great to see her learning new things all the time, making new friends and setting her up well for school next year. I would definitely recommend the nursery to friends and family.
The nursery provides the perfect mix of fun and education. Our son thrives in the environment, noticed more so since the return from lockdown. Being able to learn and play with his friends in a safe, warm and engaging environment has helped him develop skills which will undoubtedly prepare him for school. This is achieved by the amazing and tireless work and love from his teachers/key worker and all employees at Wilmington Day Nursery and Preschool. He absolutely loves attending and we are so pleased to see him progress. He has a varied and nutritious diet provided by the excellent catering staff there. The facilities are well thought out and the staff put real care and attention into making the rooms and outdoor areas engaging. As always the Staff/teachers make it and help Wilmington Day Nursery and Preschool stand out from its peers.
They have been very attentive to him and have taken his food allergies very seriously. All protocols are in place to ensure they are extremely aware of what he can and can't have.
Overall I am extremely pleased with his learning and confidence.
Our now 4 year old spent 3 years at this nursery and our now 2 year old has just started. I can’t praise Bright Horizons Wilmington highly enough. Both of my boys have always been and still are very happy there, it has a close knit feel to it and the staff always make an effort to ensure that your child is comfortable and happy in their setting. Our 2 year old only started 3 weeks ago and talks about the staff every day and how he’s excited to go there again.
Excellent nursery could not recommend it enough.
