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.

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.

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.
My grandson started the nursery in January and the difference in his learning abilities now is amazing, he has come on hurdles in his development building, on his confidence and general learning. I love picking him up as he is always so happy the staff are extremely friendly and you can tell they...

My little boy has absolutely thrived since starting the nursery, the rooms always look exciting with lots of stimulating activities out for him to get involved in and has also really helped his confidence. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I have two children who attend Wilmington Day Nursery and Preschool. My eldest is currently in nursery and my youngest is in Toddler 1. They have both been attending since September 2018 and I cannot tell you how happy we all are that we chose this nursery. The girls have both settled quickly and love attending. So much so that my eldest complains she can't go to nursery at weekends. My youngest can be quite shy but thanks to the team in Toddler 1. She really is starting to come out of her shell. Thanks for your hard work.

The facilities are always clean and the children are always busy doing lots of different activities.
We cannot fault the services and would definitely recommend the nursery to friends.
Really good opportunity to discuss how our child is doing at nursery, their development and the next goals. Although we get regular feedback on each time our child is at nursery, it was great to be able to hear more about his development and what he gets up to there.

As a new parent of a 10 month old I have been made to feel very welcome and the staff have made me feel reassured about leaving my daughter. The nursery is very clean and bright and they have great resources.

We had two personal recommendations for Wilmington Day Nursery and I'm very happy that we chose it as the nursery for our daughter who started there at 12 months old. The long settling in period suited her well, and she thrives in the nursery routine. We are most pleased with the staff in her room, whom our daughter likes a lot. She also sleeps and eats better at nursery than she does at home!
The staff are all amazing and friendly and I feel at ease knowing my child is happy when I leave her.

Asquith Wilmington Day Nursery & Pre-School is a lovely nursery with staff members that really want to help as much as they can. Through our settling sessions they were understanding towards me and patient with my daughter who now waves goodbye to me at the classroom door.

It's never easy leaving your children but Asquith made the whole process as stress-free as it could be. The staff are friendly and accommodating and I feel listened to, which I am grateful for. My son loves his nursery days and my daughter is starting in September. I know she will be in safe hands....

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.
