Review from Daniel Q (Father of Child) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one loves coming to nursery, the facilities are great and she comes home happy and full of stories from her day.
The funding has made accessing nursery more accessible and the management team have really supported me with funding and accessing support.

We are so pleased with our decision to transfer her across to The Laurels and know that with the transition to school in September she'll be ready.

All of the staff at the Caterham site are exceptionally talented and very good at what they do. Our son attends sunflowers and his individual care worker has made his transition very smooth. Our child has really progressed and is continuing to flourish.

Overall Experience

A wonderful place for your little one to learn and grow. The team is all so friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble for them, they make us feel welcome as parents but make our little guy feel even more welcome. He enjoys the wide variety of activities they do and spending time in the garden and has made great friends already even at such a young age.

Overall Experience
The team at Bright Horizons Caterham The Laurels Day Nursery and Preschool are all very caring and lovely. They have a passion for all the children in their care and they ensure they have the best time whilst at the nursery.

My older daughter, who is nearly 6, went to The Laurels first and the staff still remember her now whilst my 1-year-old daughter who attends currently and has done since she was 6 months. My daughter has been quite poorly and the team have been great ensuring she eats a gluten and dairy-free diet and giving her the medicine she needs when she has needed it. I can't thank them enough for giving me peace of mind whilst I'm at work that I know she will be well cared for and also be given great learning experiences catered to her age. All the staff know her and want cuddles with her! Also, she's always happy to be left with them and I never have any problems. Thank you to The Laurels team who do everything for my little girl that they can, I can't thank you enough!

Review from K P (Father of Child) published on 14 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience at Bright Horizons Caterham The Laurels Day Nursery and Preschool has been exceptional. The facility provides a nurturing and stimulating environment. All the staff and the senior management team are caring, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about all the children at the nursery.
The ratio of caregivers to children is impressive, ensuring each child receives ample attention and personalised care. This dedication is evident in the progress and happiness we see in our child daily.
The facility is clean, safe and equipped with a variety of age-appropriate toys and learning materials. The nursery's curriculum is well-rounded, incorporating both structured learning and play-based activities that promote cognitive and social development.

Our child is happy, safe and developing very well at Bright Horizons. We highly recommend Bright Horizons to other parents seeking a reliable and enriching early learning environment.

We get such a happy, warm welcome when we arrive. And again at the end of the day. The enthusiasm of all the staff encourages the little ones to be the same and they play so enthusiastically and their happiness is clearly evident.
The facilities are very child and baby-friendly and safe.
Their day is filled with lots of different activities to fulfill them.

Their food is very wholesome and interesting for them.

Overall Experience
My son has attended the nursery from 10 months old and we have always been so happy with all the staff and friendly and professional support from the managers.
Every morning we receive a warm welcome from all.
My son has learnt so much at the nursery over the four years, he always has so much to talk about after a day in preschool as the resources are so good.

We feel very lucky we chose this nursery.

The nursery team couldn't do enough for our child and have been very supportive. He thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery and is thriving. Being around his peers and feeling encouraged by staff, his talking has come along and he is starting to hit other key milestones.

I am so happy we chose this nursery.
The team is honestly amazing, so caring, really lovely, and very reliable.
Our little one has been there for over a year and everything has been brilliant - a peace of mind, knowing your little one is well looked after and in caring hands.
The nursery itself is very clean and tidy.

I 100% recommend it.

Review from Rochelle L (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a first-time Mum and Dad, we were both anxious about finding a nursery place for our child who was one when she started. From looking around the nursery on the first open day (which was one-to-one) we knew it was the place for us. Everything down to the food provided, all the staff that is so friendly and loving towards the children, all staff is like a second family who knows each child's likes and dislikes, their next steps in development and even when I was in hospital recently, I got a little "get well soon" card that my daughter had made.
I've worked in nurseries before and none of them can even compare to this place. We've needed to have an extra day for an emergency and the team couldn't have been more helpful!

Wonderful place full of caring, supportive people. Very happy to have found it.

Review from Kyren G (Father of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

May 2024 has been my child's first month at Bright Horizons Caterham The Laurels Day Nursery and Preschool and I can't express how happy I am with their set-up and staff members. The app is amazing as it keeps Mums, Dads and other guardians up to date with lunch/tea activities and photos which really helps, as a parent, to know your little one is enjoying their day and what they've been up to, also your child can't tell you she/he doesn't like something when you know they've eaten it at nursery! Again, so happy with the whole set-up and all the members of staff, can't thank you guys enough for making our little one feel so comfortable.

Review from Vicky P (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son joined Bright Horizons Caterham The Laurels Day Nursery and Preschool in September 2023 and I have seen a positive change in his development and behaviour. The staff are considerate, caring, helpful, friendly and kind. The support and care are outstanding. Being a teacher myself, I have experienced first-hand how overwhelming things can get. However, the managers and staff are very professional and efficient. The activities, the crafts and the educational package the nursery offers are amazing. Highly recommend them.

Review from R C (Father of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The team at Bright Horizons Caterham The Laurels Day Nursery and Preschool are fantastic. They have really put in everything to look after our little one who joined when she was 9 months old. Her key carer really put in the effort to gain her trust and love.
The level of care is top-notch, the experiences they give the kids are really great. The food they are given is really varied and our little one finished everything she's given!

Every day we are welcome with a warm smile, friendly face and everyone is happy to take the time to talk. We are over the moon with Bright Horizons and our little one loves going there to learn, play and explore! Couldn't recommend more.

My little boy started at Bright Horizons Caterham The Laurels Day Nursery and Preschool in April 2020, every room my little man has been in he has loved, the staff are all very kind and loving and have made the transition from being a baby to a little man ready to start school so much easier for us all. We are really going to miss the nursery/preschool and could not recommend it enough. Outstanding place.
