Then Pre-school.
- High turnover of staff
- Key worker changed every 2 months
- Regular low staff-to-child ratios, especially at collection times (as I have not been to the nursery during the day).
Then the safety questions....
- Daughter has multiple deep scratches all over her face. The school never contacted us at all to inform us.
- Daughter had a seriously large lump on the back of her head with bloody speckles.
- Daughter had a bite mark and teeth imprint on her hand.
- Daughter was punched in the back in front of me.
- All by the same one child.
Complaints were raised to on-site management, escalated to the safeguarding team, escalated to a regional director and all failed to action any plan to safeguard the children.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We apologise for not meeting your expectations and we are sad to see your daughter go. If there's any further support we can offer, we kindly request you to contact our complaints team at ukcomplaints@brighthorizons.com.
My son is always so excited to go to the nursery and I have peace of mind that he will have fun and enjoy. He has the freedom to explore different things and also learn how to be gentle and to share. He has learned so much since his first day. Thank you.
Hello, We are genuinely touched by your positive review! We are delighted that your son has made significant progress since his first day.
Within weeks of starting at Bright Horizons, we saw huge leaps in our older child’s development which we credit to the support of practitioners, and we continue to see our child flourish. Bright Horizons is providing an excellent setting to prepare for school.
Both children are extremely fond of practitioners. They support and challenge the children in a warm and nurturing environment.
All staff take the time to get to know parents as well as children. As parents, we are seen as individuals, not just Mummy and Daddy. Staff are sensitive to family circumstances and are attentive and supportive of us grown-ups too.
Whilst we moved to Bright Horizons out of necessity, it has been a brilliant move. We couldn’t imagine a better setting to support the development and well-being of our children.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Bright Horizons. We are thrilled to hear about the positive impact our setting has had on both of your children's development and well-being. Thank you once again for entrusting us with the care and development of your children.
Always great leading and seeing photos of the lovely activities they do with the little ones. Well varied diet, lots of tastes and textures.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
My boy started at Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool at 12 months. He had a rocky start, having only been cared for by mum and dad for a year but the staff at Bright Horizons have been wonderful with him. He's only been there a few months but already has a lovely bond with a few of the workers and clearly has a lovely time doing all the activities. He's learned so much since he started. Our only issue is the lack of a separate nap space as our boy struggles to sleep when there are distractions but he's adjusting to this slowly.
All 3 of my children have gone here and my youngest has started a few months ago. I can’t praise them high enough. All staff are so caring and nurturing of the children. All my children have or are thriving here.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear such positive feedback and lovely words about our staff. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
From the moment we walked in to the door for our welcome meeting, me and my little boy loved it.
Could not fault the care that my little boy receives. Feel as though he’s safe and secure and love seeing how happy and settled he is.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear your child is thriving at our nursery.
Excellent nursery with great staff in baby room. My daughter LOVES being at nursery and I love the feedback we get on her day every day, as well as all the details and regular updates listed in the app. The staff know my daughter really well as an individual and I feel she is very well cared for.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your review. Your positive review affirms our commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for all our children.
All of the staff are so kind and caring for our little boy, he loves the activities that they get up to and is always excited to see his carers in the morning. The facilities are great and the food menu is healthy and nutritious and gives him the opportunity to try lots of different things. I would recommend to anyone.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
Post pictures of what your child has been up to and give observation on how their development is going.
They always do fun activities on a daily basis whether it painting, reading, in the garden, and planting seeds.
Can’t recommend this nursery enough my son loves it.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
I’d happily recommend them to anyone.
Both of our children are flourishing, growing their independence, confidence and personality. The staff go above and beyond to care for them, giving us the reassurance they are in the best hands possible.
Our youngest has numerous severe allergies and the nursery have been beyond supportive of this.
We highly recommend this nursery and pre-school.
I’m very glad I chose this nursery for my daughter! She is sometimes emotional being dropped off if it’s me dropping her off but as soon as she sees her friends she’s happy playing away! Staff are always super helpful and friendly and I don’t know how they remember everyone’s names so well with so many kids! The meals are well varied and healthy! Definitely would recommend to people.
Have been super supportive and always have the best interest of the children at heart. Amazing communication with the app, always adding photos and developmental progression! All the staff in the baby room are amazing and just an amazing team.
Thank you for your review on our nursery - we really appreciate it.
My daughter was new to the setup and was resuming nursery after a long break. I must admit that the staff was really very warm and she was very well adjusted to her new schedule. They took good care of her because I know my little one needs a lot of attention. Please keep up the good work.
Hello, thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us. Your positive review affirms our commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for all our children.
The nursery keep us (the parents) up to date on everything - if he bumps his head, or has a little rash, or if there's chicken pox at the nursery... They show us photos of what the children have been up to. He paints pictures and plants flowers... I think he probably has a better time at nursery than he does at home. They feed him foods we haven't yet tried at home and they do also use much posher nappies than we do! I am so pleased we found this nursery, I feel so appreciative of them and I really think they are giving him a fantastic start in life.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words. The opportunity to hear from our parents and be reminded of why we do what we do is so valuable. Thank you.
We are pleased with the level of care our son is experiencing at Bright Horizons, Ely. He is happy and enjoying his time at the nursery. He has plenty of learning opportunities through play. The environment is safe, and staff are friendly and caring.
Hi, It is always so nice to hear words like kind, warm and friendly used to describe our staff. Thank you for choosing our nursery and leaving us your review.
You may worry the site might not look like the prettiest being on an industrial estate, but it actually gives them loads of space and makes it easier for drop off in lots of ways. They also are right on the edge and the garden looks out over a big field in the fens so feels like they're in nature a bit.
They have also been accommodating with providing extra sessions when we've needed them and they have had capacity which has been really helpful.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to give us your review at your nursery. Your positive review affirms our commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for all our children.
My daughter absolutely loves nursery days here and is always so excited to tell me about her day when she gets home - I am always very impressed at the range of activities they do and love that they always make an effort to use the outdoor space most days.
Hello, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star rating – it’s much appreciated!
We absolutely love Bright Horizons in Ely. The staff are incredible and take the time to know each child and cater to their individual needs. It's amazing to see how much our son has learned during his time at the nursery and how much he loves his teachers. He runs into his classroom each morning excited to start the day. We love knowing that he is in good hands and enjoying his time at nursery.

I love how busy the setting is as well as how welcoming everyone was both in the setting as well as throughout the company.
The thing I enjoy the most about my job is building a foundation for children to enhance their skills and development their imagination.
