Review from Lynn W (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery for over 2 years and she has absolutely loved it. The staff are very friendly and she always looks forward to going. We, therefore, had no hesitation with arranging for our son to attend (starts next week) and the nursery have been fantastic in getting him signed up and booked in for settling sessions. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Both our children are currently at nursery and pre-school and we are delighted. The staff are all very friendly and caring. Our children absolutely love going to nursery and preschool and constantly talk about their friends but also the adults. They are real role models for our children. We would 100% recommend.

The staff are so loving to our daughter and that’s all we would ever want. They are so accommodating and are so open to listening to ideas. My daughter comes out smiling and that’s all that matters. It’s given my daughter some independence.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Bright Horizons since 8 months old, he will start school this September. I am very happy with the nursery and so is my child. He has made friends, learned good behaviour and has a great relationship with the staff. They are doing a great job preparing him for school. The communication is excellent - even at this challenging time - and their covid procedures are clear and safe. Meals are varied and healthy while remaining child friendly! We will miss Bright Horizons when the time comes to move on to school.

Review from Tatenda (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am well pleased with the staff at the nursery. The process of looking for a place for my little ones was made easy as the staff took time to answer all the questions that l had, explaining clearly and also taking time to understand us as a family and what would work for us. The settling in for my little ones was smooth with feedback from son that he loves and enjoys his new nursery which was very comforting to hear.

Overall Experience

We have used the nursery for both of our children, and it’s fantastic. Very high quality of care. Lots of really kind staff who have formed good bonds with our children. The food is very good. It’s extremely well run and organised, communication from the managers who run it is excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Review from Shannon P (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Teddies has been just brilliant in helping my daughter to settle in.
She started at nine months and instantly bonded to her key carer and it was lovely to watch her development during her time there.
After a lot of thought, we sent our daughter (now 14 months) back to Teddies when it reopened in June 2020 and I’m so glad we did.
She has settled back in so quickly, and her key carer has played a huge role in that.
The team at Teddies are very thoughtful and both on her first day at nursery and her first day back after lockdown, spoke to us on the phone to reassure us she was OK and also provided photos of her day on pick-up which helped massively with our worries.
The manager has also been very patient and understanding with answering lots of questions about the nursery reopening at what must be an exceptionally busy time.

Very grateful to the team for all their hard work and commitment, and would definitely recommend.

Review from S T (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Overall, the nursery is great. The staff are nice. The management are understanding and helpful. For the majority of the time, everyone is professional, but occasionally this slips. Sometimes I don't always find nappies clean when we get home. Sometimes overheard conversations are a bit surprising from the staff.

My daughter is happy and content and making friends. Parents are pleasant and friendly.

Reply from Joel, Bright Horizons Support Office at Bright Horizons Tonbridge Day Nursery and Preschool

Review from O B (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Staff are very friendly, we loved the many themed areas/rooms. Management is always available for information and clarification.
Our little one is familiar and close to some of the staff members and finds comfort in their presence when having a rough day. He's being taken care of whenever needed.

We would highly recommend Bright Horizons for little ones, especially for the independent character/skills they promote for children.

Overall Experience

Teddies Tonbridge has been a fantastic experience so far for both myself and my baby son. The settling in process really put my mind to rest and gave my son the opportunity to get really comfortable with the new surroundings and the baby room staff. We had no problems getting him settled in which was a big relief for me! I also feel really welcome at the nursery with all members of staff taking the time to say hello and making the effort to recognise me very early on. Bright Horizons come very highly recommended by me.

Friendly staff. My daughter enjoys spending time in nursery. She is quite close to some of the staff. The learning notes are thorough. Satisfied with the development pace. Suggestion: teaching a foreign language like French/Spanish.

The staff are lovely and my girl has always asked to go to nursery. She is very excited and I think that this is what a nursery should be like for children. Was not difficult to settle down, she continued to progress in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you to all the team.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My three-year-old girl loves it. She started a month ago and she hardly speaks English but now she speaks the basics and is more confident. Would recommend! The staff are very nice and patient. Thank you to all who takes there time to look alter her.

Overall Experience
Very happy with the care my daughter is receiving in the babies room.
She is doing plenty of art and crafts as well as reading books and playing with toys.
I love having a debrief of what she has been up to during the day in her liaison book.

However, I'd like her to go outside more often. The staff are lovely and caring.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons is a great nursery, my son has been going there since he was 9 months. He has learnt and achieved so much by the staff, supporting and helping the children. I am so pleased with how the staff are, they are great with kids. My son always has a great day, playing and learning etc that he whines when he has to leave. The whole nursery is kept clean and looked after. The menu is good, the children get what they need with protein, veg, fruit etc. Overall, it is great and would definitely recommend.

Our son has attended Bright Horizons for a year now and we have always found the staff incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating to our requests and requirements. Our son has always struggled with drop off and the staff at Bright Horizons have really helped with reassuring us and providing one on one attention to our son when he needs it.

Review from Tim O (Father of Child) published on 10 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A gem of a find for us and our son! We hadn't had much luck with previous nurseries and his previous one had to be shut due to the landlord selling the land. He had really settled in there so we were worried about him relocating.. we needn't have! Welcoming him from the moment he walked in the door the staff have been nothing but attentive and caring towards him settling in and enjoying himself there. Every parent's nightmare is a child that doesn't want to go into nursery, but every morning he goes running into his room, welcomed by the staff and with breakfast sitting there waiting for him, a huge relief for us.

The staff are amazing and keep us well informed and his daily notebook really helps us see how he gets on and the daily activities he's been up to. A wonderful nursery and can't thank all the staff enough.

Rachel Job Title: Deputy Manager
Rachel
Hello my name is Rachel, I have worked at Bright Horizons Tonbridge since May 2009 and am level 3 qualified in childcare.
I love knowing that parents feel safe leaving their child with me and that I am able to keep them safe and cared for through each day.
I worked in the toddler room for a year and a half and then worked in babycare for 8 years where I became room leader then third in charge. I loved working in the baby care room welcoming new babies and families.
In January 2009 I became deputy Manager and help and support the running of the nursery along with spending time with the children in the rooms.

It is very rewarding watching the children grow and develop through their time with us before their next big adventure at school.
