My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 10 months old, she is now 2 and she absolutely loves it! She has thrived so much from being there and always has a smile on her face at drop off and pick up. The staff team have really focused on my child's interests and based wonderful activities around what she likes. The overall care they provide for the children is amazing! I highly recommend this setting to anyone looking for a safe and trusting environment for their children. Thank you Bright Horizons Guildford!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear how much your daughter enjoys nursery and that our team and tailored activities have helped her thrive.
The nursery is amazing. Teacher and manager are always ready to support my son with love. But they are ready to listen and help the parents as well. You can see how they love their job since you put your first step in the building.

My daughter has been going to Bright Horizons Guildford since the age of 9 months, she's now 14 months old and loves going to nursery. Her development over the last 6 months has been amazing and we owe that to the brilliant team at Bright Horizons for that.

Our daughter started at this nursery last year, just after turning one! From the get-go, all the amazing staff such as her key worker could not have done more to help her settle, support us and make the overall experience effortless, carefree and one we could not recommend more highly to others. They truly care immensely for the children in their care and do everything they can to support not only the little ones but their wider families. The daily updates and any communications for that matter, are both thoughtful, kind, efficient and thorough. Thank you so much Bright Horizons for making this overall experience so amazing and one that we shall truly never forget.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear your daughter settled in well and that our team made the experience positive for your family. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation!

The staff at Bright Horizons Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool go above and beyond for my little one. I really appreciate their proactive attitude to designing activities that foster the development of my child but are also often themed around current events and holidays. The staff at the nursery are always easy to talk to and are clearly very passionate about my child's well-being and ensuring that they get the most out of their days at the nursery. One of the things I appreciate the most is the progress reports, highlighting developmental milestones my child has met and what the nursery can do to help develop them further. Overall, I don't believe these lovely staff members could do anymore to make me feel more at ease as a parent leaving my child with them, knowing they will have a brilliant and nurturing experience in a safe environment. Thank you!
Thank you for your review! We're glad you appreciate our themed activities, progress reports and the dedication of our staff. Thank you for your support!

Thank you to all the staff members of Bright Horizons for always going above and beyond for the children and even the parents. Both my children enjoy coming here and I feel confident they are being cared for. This is particularly important as one of my children has severe food allergies. The nursery and preschool has a warming and welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that both your children enjoy coming to Bright Horizons and that you feel confident in their care, especially given the food allergies.

Couldn’t be more thankful to this nursery! The last few months have been hard navigating going back to work and settling my child into nursery and they have been supportive at every hurdle! It’s a really hard concept learning to let go and have other people look after your baby but all the staff at Bright Horizons are so lovely and welcoming! Always able to chat and advise you and they care so much about the children. I am so impressed and my daughter has settled in so well to nursery now, she loves going in!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We understand that transitioning back to work and entrusting your child to nursery care can be challenging, and we're honoured to have been able to support you every step of the way.
My daughter is well cared for and continues to develop at Bright Horizons. My daughter loves going to nursery to see her friends and her key worker. We love receiving updates and pictures on a daily basis.

I feel emotional writing this thinking we will have to leave our nursery family soon to move on to reception at a school. What a great experience this is to see my child happy, wanting to go to nursery every day to see her friends and show her teachers something new. I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Guildford Nursery enough. It is important to know that my child is safe, has a good time and learns a lot day by day. Even at times when we had something to mention for improvement, we have been heard and this has been a key point to our relationship with the nursery team. Thank you for the important work you do, well done!
