Review from A C (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our almost 1-year-old started at Bright Horizons last week. She is quite an anxious one when away from parents but the staff at Milton Park are all absolutely fantastic, especially her wonderful key worker, and despite her anxieties she's already building a bond with them which is so lovely and reassuring to see. I have absolute confidence in the staff here, who are doing a wonderful job at creating a fun, positive and creative environment for learning and play. Thank you for giving our child the best possible introduction to this next phase of her life.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Milton Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted your daughter is settling in and forming bonds.

Overall Experience

My 2-year-old started here in Bluebells a year ago and she loves it. The staff are doing a five-star job, we have no complaints about anything. We were stressed a bit in the beginning but now we enjoy dropping her off in the morning knowing she is in great professional hands. She is currently in four days only but we often regret not going full five days from the start.

Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 14 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been really happy with this nursery and the whole team’s efforts to make our son feel comfortable and confident. He loves going to nursery and has great fun there with a wide variety of activities (eg soft play, play dough rolling, outdoor sessions and sensory tables for holidays!).
My son didn’t want to go in at first and the team were excellent at helping with the adjustment; I got updates multiple times in his first few days when I was very nervous.
He also has a dairy allergy and I’ve been very impressed with the support for his milk, and the whole alternative meal plan he received. He eats really well at nursery.

Really happy with Milton Park - thank you for the whole 0-2 team! (18-month-old son, been at nursery 6 months).

My son attends this nursery. The staff here are considerate to his needs and 4 months in he is excited to go in when he hears the word ‘nursery’.
My son also has a milk allergy and the team has been fully supportive of this, he has his own menu and loves the food, which is really reassuring!

Thank you to the wonderful team in the 0-2s.

Review from Kerry W (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending nursery since 10 months old. We were nervous at first but the smiles both us and she received helped us to relax. They took time to get to know us as well as our daughter. We have built great relationships with all key workers and really can’t fault anything. They have been really helpful with following up on any additional help that my daughter has needed following outside appointments. The management team is always welcoming and I love that they know each child’s name when they enter the building. The room staff are very supportive and will assist in any way they can. Such an extensive menu as well which has really helped with eating at home too. Really recommend!

I have sent both my children to this nursery and have been really happy with all the care they have been given. They both have been really happy here. I can’t recommend it enough. It was definitely the right choice for us. All the staff are lovely and the manager is great and very helpful when needed.

Review from Kate W (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I highly recommend Milton Park Bright Horizons Nursery - my son absolutely loves it, as do I!
My son started here at 10 months old. From his first day, I was really impressed with the care and attention he received from all the staff, including a special bond with his key worker. The nursery is so warm and welcoming, and made the difficult transition to full-time nursery much easier for both my son and me.
Now a toddler, my son comes home every day now talking about how much he loves his nursery friends and the staff! There are a variety of interesting activities for the kids every day, both inside and outside. I have watched him grow so much in confidence and skills in his time there.

I couldn't be happier with the nursery and feel it is the perfect environment for my son!

Review from G S (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my sons have been attending Bright Horizons, Milton Park since July 2022 and I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough to any parents. The management team are very welcoming and always ready to help. Staff members are so caring towards the children and always providing inviting activities to engage the children. I received feedback every day about my children's well-being on an app and also face to face. My children really love going to the nursery.

Thank you very much staff at Milton Park for providing such a safe and caring environment for my children to thrive in.

Great nursery. My son (aged 3) started when he was around 11 months old. He loves going to nursery and has made fantastic relationship with his key workers. I know that when I leave him there he is in capable hands. There is a great range of creative activities and I can check in on the app throughout the day. Also a variety of different healthy meals. Overall, very happy with the service that Milton Park provides.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Always happy to help and my son is enjoying his time there. Helpful with any development tips and what we can do at home!

It's reassuring to know he is in good hands. I also like the updates on the app whilst I am working.

They have been taking care of my son for 1.5 years now, starting when he was almost 3 months old.
Everyone of the staff has always been amazing. They are wonderful with the children and my son always has a big smile when going there.
I truly appreciate the numerous different activities they propose to the kids and the garden they have access to.

Overall, I've been very pleased and I definitely recommend them!

Overall Experience
Our 1-year-old loves this nursery. I think we had one or two days of tears at the start of drop-off, but from week two she was waving goodbye to us in the mornings!
The team are lovely and take a genuine interest in baby sign, even learning a few new signs to teach her rather than just remembering her favourites.

I believe she has an action-packed day and learns new skills constantly!

Both my children have attended Milton Park Bright Horizons and we were lucky enough to have the same key worker for them too! The care has been incredible and the team really got to know both of my children individually. I have always felt supported as a parent and my two loved going to nursery here! I would highly recommend this nursery.

Even though my child only attends one day a week, she is so excited for nursery day and runs to the door with such excitement!
Her language and social skills have flourished just from one day a week, and she comes home showing us new makaton signs too, teaching us.

The staff are really friendly and informative. I love receiving pictures and updates on her activities. I'd recommend this nursery to anyone!

Overall Experience

Our son has attended Bright Horizons, Milton Park since he was 9 months old (currently he’s just over 2 and a half years old). He loves his time there and never complains about going in every morning. He’s full of smiles when we pick him up and we can tell he’s had a fulfilling, happy day. The staff are wonderful, very caring, and focused on the wellbeing of the children. Our son is very happy to go to any member of staff and is completely comfortable around them all. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Review from Juliet N (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Wonderful nursery. My son (19 months old), started here when was 12 months old and absolutely adores it. The staff are so kind and caring. They foster a really lovely welcoming atmosphere. They were also incredibly helpful and patient with me in the beginning when I was asking loads of questions about settling in etc. I get a summary of my son’s meals (including how much he ate), nap times and activities each day which I love seeing. The diet is healthy, varied and interesting. He eats better there than we do at home! There are loads of activities to keep him entertained and I never feel like he’s just doing the same thing every day (though of course there are some constants, like playing in the garden and reading books). I feel so lucky that my son goes here. He loves it and I couldn’t really ask for more than that. Would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves nursery! The team at Milton Park really listen to what the kids want to do each day or base an activity around something one of the children did at the weekend. They eat delicious, nutritious food and spend as much time outside as possible. The team are very quick at responding to questions on the app and it’s so lovely to receive pictures during nursery days too!
