Bright Horizons St Mary's Abingdon Day Nursery and Preschool

She has enjoyed pre-school very much and is always learning new activities, playing outdoors cooking and doing numbers,

Such a warm friendly place. My baby seems so happy. Lots of information when I Pick him up. I never feel like I can't ask a question always have so many different activities.

Excellent nursery. Induction was brilliant when my daughter first started. Daily feedback on my daughters progress/development excellent. Key worker always willing to talk and take on board parental concerns. Overall extremely pleased with the nursery for my first child. Friendly and extremely helpful staff. Safe environment and clean.

I an very impressed with how all the staff interact with the children and parents alike. All the staff are knowledgeable about each child. They have been very helpful in giving advice. We have been with the nursery since the baby room and have experienced the same throughout. The whole atmosphere of the nursery is positive and a great place for a child to learn, grow and make friends. Amazing place. Keep up the good work.

I love St Mary's nursery. It is very friendly and the staff are very lovely and welcoming when I drop my daughter off. My daughter always talks about how much of a good day she has had at nursery and talks very fondly about her key person and the other staff in the room. The management team are lovely and are always willing to help if I ever have a concern/worry.

The staff are outstanding. Their care and consideration towards my son is unquestionable. In and instance of concern they are quick to follow the correct procedures. As parents we have complete trust in the nursery staff and would highly recommend the nursery to any individual in the area. We as parents have a very strong rapport with every member of staff, this is partly due to the outgoing, personable, positive happy and genuine personal that the staff present.

The nursery has always gone the extra mile to care for both my children, one with extra needs. All the staff know my children as individuals and go out of their way to make their day enjoyable. They work with outside professionals to cater for the needs of my children. The Karate club is amazing and my daughter loves it. What a brilliant activity to offer.

We have had an excellent experience with St Mary's, very organised and helpful with the admin and finances. Staff in the rooms are great and particularly in the baby room where we feel the children are loved as well as looked after. Our child settled quickly and loves his time here. The staff continuity is good so the children bond with their key workers and other adults. At other nurseries the staff turn over is high and the children suffer as a consequence. If anything negative over 2's room is very full and busy!!

My son has been at St Mary's since he was 8 months old, during this time he has made bonds with all the staff members and they all go above and beyond to make him so happy at nursery. All the staff are caring and lovely and seem to really care for the children. Managers are so understanding and try to help you out as much as possible. I looked around all other nurseries in the Abingdon area and none of them stood out as much as St Mary's. I wouldn't send my son to any other nursery.

Fantastic nursery my daughter and son have developed amazingly and are good at forming friendships and both are very outgoing children which is comforting knowing they are starting school. Staff are attentive and keen to listen and my daughter in pre-school speaks highly of all particularly her key worker.

I was nervous about leaving my just turned one year old at nursery, but St Mary's have been absolutely fantastic. He absolutely loves his dedicated carer and is always smiling and play happily when I pick him up. His days are always busy which means he sleeps through now yay! and its lovely getting his artwork, cards and cooking at the end of the week.

St Mary's has been wonderful for both of my children. My 20 month old son has been there since 10 months & my daughter who has now left was there from 10 months to 4 yrs and really enjoyed her time there. St Mary's have helped to develop her into a confident & happy child. The facilities are lovely and of a higher standard than other nurseries in Abingdon. Food is cooked on site and is very varied & fresh. Staff are really good and you have a mixed balance of different ages, low staff turnover and more importantly they are very approachable and I feel totally confident in their ability to help nurture my children. Throughout the year they organise charity events including an art exhibition of which the children enter their artwork into. Christmas parties that parents invited to plus many more. Management is also very approachable and do take on board parents feedback too. Cost wise it is a little bit more dear than other nurseries nearby however for me the children to have all meals (home cooked) catered for during their day makes this very worthwhile. I'm really happy with St Mary's and it will be a sad day when my son is of an age to leave to go to school!

Very friendly and welcoming nursery. Approachable, caring and flexible staff. Great range of activities for children to join in every day. Bright environment, indoors and outdoors. Opportunities to socialise across age groups and modern approach to teaching bi-lingual children are particular strengths.

A great nursery with friendly, caring staff. My son has been very happy during his time at St Mary's and that makes us happy parents :). Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare in the Abingdon area.
