Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool

Special mention to the staff member in Pre-School 1 for going the extra mile with my son and his development with speech. Works very closely with the external speech therapist and genuinely does care about his development. For this we thank you.

My child has attended this nursery since he was 1 and he has enjoyed every milestone. The staff in each room have welcomed him with open arms, have assisted with his development and now he is nearly 4, I have seen such growth in his learning ability thanks to the attentive staff. I love the nursery so much, I’ve even joined their committee!

This is an amazing nursery! My daughter has adapted so well and is clear that she enjoys every single day there. I feel that they do great things with the kids and help them learn new skills or improve their existing ones. I am so happy for my choice.

It’s a very good preschool. I like it very much. They are very careful with children. They are very involved, have daily activities and take care of the children a lot. Every day he comes home with something new.

The staff in her room are really good at updating the app, so I know what she has eaten that day and always update me on pick up about what she has done throughout the day.

My child has been attending the nursery since he was one, since 2021, and he has always enjoyed going and loves all the staff working there. I find them to be accommodating and helpful. He has been in each setting, and I do not have any complaints at all. Really lovely team and the nursery - would highly recommend it.

Our daughter joined Swanscombe Bright Horizons just as she turned one and has been there for nearly a year now. The staff were so friendly and welcoming from the very beginning. They all take the time to get to know the children, even if they aren’t assigned to their room. There is a really homely feeling to the nursery. They do lots of messy play and encourage the children to try new things but also comfort them if they aren’t sure. The food is varied, which is great for them to explore new tastes. The staff give feedback on how your little one's day has been at the end of the day, and there is an app where the staff upload what your child has eaten/nappy changes/nap times, etc which, is really useful. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Our little one has thrived since she joined, and It has made returning to work much easier knowing she comes out of the nursery happy every day!

My experience at Bright Horizons has mostly been positive and appreciated by my child too. They excellently support children with special needs, like mine with social and communication challenges, by effectively implementing therapist-recommended plans. My child very much enjoys the company of the staff, especially their keyworker. The nursery's layout, especially its outdoor spaces, encourages healthy exploration. Extra activities, like Mother's Day celebrations, add to their service, creating cherished memories. The convenience of onsite parking is useful, though it can be crowded at peak times. Receiving items my child has helped create, like vegetables, is delightful, offering insight into their activities. Improvements are needed in staff communication, especially during handovers, as information about my child's day is often lacking. The management is always helpful, enhancing the nursery's welcoming atmosphere. Their approach to catering to picky eaters, with a set menu and alternative commendable.

My son started in May 2023 and has really enjoyed his time at the nursery so far. He’s settled in so well and walks into the room to his key person without any tears. He’s developed lovely relationships with the staff in baby care 2. The staff are always caring and let me know how he’s been. The app is fantastic, lots of information on how he’s eaten and slept throughout the day. The menu is varied and my son loves the meals provided. Really pleased with our choice of nursery so far.

My little girl has been at Bright Horizons Swanscombe since 2021. She has special educational needs and has interaction and communication difficulties. The nursery, particularly the nursery manager and SENCO, have been so supportive of her. Everything from adjustments to her everyday care - to make her comfortable, happy and encouraged to try new things and help her to interact with others - to apply for an EHCP, setting up a specialist teacher who supports her, implementing Speech and Language techniques, advice on schooling, all to help her progression. They have taken the time to understand her and support her and us as parents. I also love that every room has its own outside space so that your child can explore, as my little girl loves being outside! Please bear in mind if you have a picky eater that Bright Horizons has a set food menu, but the nursery do try to offer some alternatives. I am very thankful for the team’s support at Bright Horizons.

Really pleased with the nursery so far, my 9 month old daughter has just started. The manager and the team in baby care have made her feel so welcome and she is settling so quickly. I was very nervous about her starting at 9 months, but the team have posted lots of pictures of her having a great time which has reassured me. Thank you so much.

My son has attended this nursery since March 2022 and I am very pleased with the quality of care and support he currently receives. The staff members and the nursery manager have particularly stood out to me as they have really supported my son.

Overall, I cannot recommend the nursery more, I was an anxious first-time mummy putting my trust in the team at Bright Horizons Swanscombe and it paid off. My daughter has learnt so much since starting at the nursery and the family app allows me to have so much involvement in her learning and development.

My granddaughter has just started at this nursery I had to collect her on her 1st week as she was unwell. I must say what a lovely friendly nursery from the moment I arrived. All staff were very welcoming and genuinely concerned about the welfare of the little one. She seems very happy to be there and is thriving. I would definitely recommend this nursery it is a lovely environment with plentiful outside space for the little ones to enjoy.

I am profoundly in awe of how the nursery has developed over the course of time. An expanded and assorted pool of personnel has definitely contributed to this progress. The meticulousness and improved consideration to detail have been quite remarkable for both of my children.

Great environment for my little lady to learn and grow!

Overall, I cannot recommend this nursery school and its staff highly enough and I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing setting for my daughter.

We highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has a dairy allergy which fills me with dread, but the nursery has bent over backwards to ensure her needs are met. Amazing!

The team at Bright Horizons, Swanscombe do a fantastic job looking after my little boy! I couldn’t wish for a better nursery to send him to. It really is a family away from home. Amazing staff and such a lovely atmosphere.
