Bright Horizons Guildford Boxgrove Day Nursery and Preschool

Both my boys love their days at nursery and have flourished under the care and support given by all the staff. The family have always been kind and helpful to us as a family and have always been on hand to help us with any issues or problems that have occurred regarding my boys' attendance.

The management and staff at Starfish are excellent. They are very friendly, helpful and accommodating and create a very warm and homely environment for the children.

The nursery's indoor facilities are very good and their outdoor areas perfectly adequate for the space they have. It's a shame there's not a bit more outside space for the older children to run around a bit more. The children have fun, but I feel a few more structured activities throughout the day might be beneficial, especially for the older children. Overall, I'm very happy with this nursery.

Our child has attended Starfish Day Nursery and Preschool for 10 months and we couldn't be happier with how he has settled in. I have many friends with children in different nurseries and whilst they all look after the children very well, I feel the thing that sets Starfish Day Nursery and Preschool apart is how supportive they are of the parents. Management really appreciates that the majority of children are there because their parents have to work and they make it as easy as possible for both the children and the parents.

I admire the staff integrity and how every member greets me and my child, regardless of whether he is in their room.

He loves Gymboree too and it's great that this is included in the fees!

He loves the food and often has double helpings! They were fantastic at helping us with weaning and prepared his own food during this time. They are very respectful of my choices as a parent such as not giving him sugary desserts and always have healthy alternatives.

Nappies, wipes and formula being included are a real bonus!

Both of my children grew up at this nusery and I cannot thank the staff enough for taking such good care of them. The management and supervisors have always been extremely attentive, sensitive and helpful. They prepared the children for their reception years very well. They have always been very creative in the activities as well. Both of my children have had such a wonderful time here and we will all miss the staff, who are now our friends!

10 out of 10! Brilliant nursery to send your child.

Our son is very happy at Starfish, after I drop him off in the morning I don't have to worry about him as I know he loves it and the staff that work there.

They were wonderfully supportive when settling him in and made the transition into his second room very straightforward too.

The staff love the children and care for them well. We're so happy we choose Starfish for our son.

The nursery has a warm community feel to it, underpinned by a calm professionalism from all the staff and managers, and I have no hesitation in recommending Starfish in the strongest possible terms to any prospective parent .

Absolutely fantastic nursery, cannot recommend it enough. Staff are kind and caring and my children absolutely love it. We feel confident leaving our children and that they will be well fed, well cared for, and also have a lot of fun.

My daughter first started with Starfish 3 years ago when she was 1 and she is now coming to the end of her time there.

The managers are fantastic and have a great team of girls working for them. They are always very polite and easy to talk to if there are any problems. Both my girls come home smiling, well fed and tired out for bed and excited for their next visit! Thank you Starfish!

My daughter has now been attending the nursery for over 18 months and absolutely loves it. ( as do I!) she is confident, developing well and thrives on the activities she does at starfish with her friends and the staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Starfish Nursery to other families.

My daughter has been going to starfish nursery for just over a year now and she loves every day she goes. The staff are very friendly and so caring and great with the children. I always know that my daughter will have a great day there and she always enjoys the different activities and all the lovely food that is provided.

Thank you starfish :)

It can also be difficult for a working parent to leave their child and Starfish were also very supportive during the transition of dropped our daughter off.

Our son started with Starfish in August 2015. I was very reluctant to put him in nursery but had no choice as I was going back to work full time. The staff were and have been amazing with both of us!! They recognised how hard it was for me leaving my baby to return to work and gave us both support. Settling in was hard but we felt very supported and this made it so much easier for me on the first day back work as I knew our son was settled and happy. He has done nothing but flourish since he has been there. The staff, management, food, facilities and care are amazing! One thing I love is that the staff are so hands on and not afraid to give cuddles - I think that this is so important. I am very happy with Starfish and would highly recommend them.

Everything about Starfish has been wonderful!! The staff and management are such wonderful people who are obviously happy in their job. As a teacher I know how important this is on the impact of quality of care given. Happy staff make happy children. Our daughter has bonded with staff and children fantastically. She loves coming to nursery and always has a smile on her face at the end of the day. Brilliant facilities, great communication, approachable management, yummy food, caring staff......what more could you want!?!

We have used Starfish since 2010 for our 3 children and view it as an excellent provider of childcare. All staff are extremely warm and welcoming and get to know each child's needs quickly and carefully. There is a very supportive atmosphere for parents and children in Starfish. Children have a wide range of activities available to them and learn to make valuable, respectful relationships with other children and adults. A fantastic place to spend your early years!

Cannot recommend them enough!

My little boy Loves going to Starfish, he is always very happy when I drop him off and the staff are extremely friendly and passionate about what they do. I always get a quick summary of what he has been up to when I pick him up which means I have an idea of what he is talking about when we get home.

Starfish has been amazing for my son, he has improved on his development extremely since starting 5 months ago staff are very knowledgeable and easy to approach with a real love for the children they look after. any concerns I have always had phone calls form them straight away so communication is very good. Starfish have a lot of extra activities and outside groups that come in to entertain the children and help with their overall development.

I would not hesitate to recommend to any prospective parent that Starfish has provided our kids with the right tools to develop. All the staff are friendly, passionate about the kids and very supportive towards our kids development.

I have had 2 children attend the nursery over the last 6 years, both started at 9 months old.

I have always taken great comfort in knowing my children will have a great day at Starfish, not only in learning and developing but by playing with their friends and teachers and laughing lots. The food they eat always smells fabulous and my children love it and eat many new things that I am sure they wouldn't even try at home!

The staff are always approachable and very kind to the children.

I will be very sad once it time for my youngest to leave this year.
