Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool

A well-run nursery with lots of open space for the children to play; each room has its own garden as well as the free flow garden. The menu is excellent. My 3-year-old attends now and my eldest also attended the nursery. He’s 7 now and has special needs. When it was becoming apparent he wasn’t developing as he should be the nursery staff were very helpful and supportive. The main staff dealing with him have now left but the manager is still there and the values and standards remain the same. Finally, my friends pay for wipes and nappies at their nurseries..here everything is included in the monthly fee.

I have 2 children at this nursery, my 4-year-old and 19 month old have attended since they were 1. Everything has always run smoothly, they both really enjoy nursery and I feel that every effort is made to make it an enjoyable learning experience. The only negative has been the high turnover of staff. I hope this will not continue.

Leaving my children at nursery for the first time is without doubt one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. You are leaving your children in the care of people you don’t really know having been with them every day since they were born. What has got us through is the amazing staff at this nursery, the manager has built a team that really genuinely cares and goes above and beyond every single day to make sure our children feel home from home. I have a new found respect for the nursery staff and the job they do. Two staff members, in particular, are some of the most professional and caring people I have had the pleasure to meet. You could not wish for a safer, happier and caring environment for your children.

Bright horizons Swanscombe is a very warm and friendly nursery. The staff are very kind and caring. My children have both been well supported at the nursery.

Kids feel welcomed and safe, which in turn always puts my mind at ease.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to my friends and people I know.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was one and a half. I did check out eight other nurseries before I chose one. He is now 3 and a half years and he loves it there. The staff are very friendly and I've never regretted my decision and even when I have worried about his development, the staff are always happy to talk to you and give you any advice they can, they do so much with the kids. I’m so happy with Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool.

Meal times are well structured and balanced. The children have daily access to free-flowing outside spaces and take part in a wide range of activities from baking and crafts, to messy play in the mud kitchen. Highly recommended!

My eldest son attended this nursery 9 years ago and now my youngest 2 children attend (both from the age of 7 months, one is now 2.5 and the youngest 1.5). Many of the staff are still there from when my eldest attended and they all remember him. All the staff know all the children even though they may not be under their care. My children love this nursery!

My son has been attending the nursery for just over a year. As a first time mum, I felt reassured that my son would be happy here. They communicated well, and my son is always updating on my son's progress.

Both my boys have been at the nursery since they were babies and we’re very happy with the care they receive. The staff are all lovely and genuinely care for our kids, both boys have really good bonds with their respective key workers. I love that they get lots of access to outside space and get to do all sorts of things that we’d never do at home (particularly the messy stuff!!)

The office staff deserve mention too, they’re always really helpful and welcoming. A lovely nursery

Our son has been attending Swanscombe from the age of 18 months (he is now nearly 4). The teachers in each of the rooms have always gone the extra mile to ensure all the children settle in and feel at home. He has always felt comfortable going to nursery and I too have felt confident leaving him in the capable hands of the teachers. I would highly recommend this nursery as my son has thrived in this setting.

The staff are understanding, they care for me and my child. The environment is safe, clean and a joy to be in! They are careful to ensure there is good sharing, caring and that quieter children are not left out.

Communication with the nursery has always been easy.

Our son has attended this nursery for the past 2 years, we cannot praise the nursery and staff enough. He has excelled whilst going here, every member of staff he has had contact with do their upmost to support, encourage and look after him. I would recommend this nursery to anyone without hesitation!

This a fantastic setting and I cannot commend the staff enough on their dedication and commitment to the setting and the children in their care. Both my children attended the nursery and one still attends currently. The staff are friendly and always willing to take comments and accommodate any specific requirements necessary for the children's well being. My children have loved going here and I would highly recommend the nursery.

A huge thank you to all the staff at Bright Horizons Swanscombe xxxxx

My daughter has been going here part time since 15 mths and really enjoys it - she always says she has fun.

We have been there a long time. The staff are amazing. My kids have always been happy there.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Have been extremely accommodating towards my autistic son. Always greeted with a smile. All of the staff in his room are lovely and even give me suggestions on how I can help him at home. I was concerned about putting my son in nursery as he is non-verbal but I am so glad I went ahead with it. He has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time.

My son has been at this nursery for 6 months now, he settled in so quickly we were so pleased, the staff are always very friendly and keep us up to date with our son's progress and how he is getting on day to day.
