Our son started Bright Horizons when he was nine months and he is now about to turn four years old. During this time, the staff have helped so much, from learning to play, to socialising, sharing, taking turns and learning to be kind to one another. The staff are so friendly and treat our son like one of their own. They even can help with things like weaning, using cutlery, developing routines and potty training. It's so nice to know as a parent that your child is being looked after and routines etc continue whether at home or at nursery. It's like home from home and it's displayed in our son's behaviour how much he loves nursery. We really recommend Bright Horizons and would certainly use it again.
I am very happy to have my daughter at Bright Horizons Ely. The staff are wonderful and for me, the most important is how excited she comes home and how happy she is there. I would definitely recommend this nursery!
My 7 month old son went for his induction yesterday at Ely Day Nursery. The staff went above and beyond to make my experience a positive one, welcoming, positive and reassuring. I know he is in good hands and he is going to have the best time with the team. Thank you again and I can’t wait for him to come and have his visits next week!
My son went to Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool after trying 2 other nurseries and not getting on. To say I was reluctant to send him was an understatement. However, my son got on so well, the care and attention he received was second to none. I’d recommend them to anyone. My little boy is now at school but his time at Bright Horizons has a special place in both of our hearts.
I absolutely love Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool; we visited a few nurseries in Ely and this one has the friendliest, happiest staff, bright colourful rooms and national support and learning techniques. My son loves it. We frequently receive paintings, occasionally bakes and they play outside all the time. It’s not the closest to us but definitely worth the travel.
There is no better feeling than knowing you can leave your children in good hands. I couldn't be more happy with the incredible staff. They truly go the extra mile just to put a smile on your little one's face, it takes a tribe to raise a child and I am so happy and grateful we have the Bright Horizons family as part of our tribe.
Our daughter is very happy at the nursery and always comes home having enjoyed a variety of activities. The staff are all very friendly and have a strong rapport with the children. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others.
We've been really happy with Bright Horizons, Ely. Our son has been happy there and has progressed a lot in terms of his communication and socialisation skills. Staff are friendly and communicative. Children engage in a variety of activities. The garden space is lovely.
My little one started nursery while in lockdown and the staff did everything they could to help with settling in and now she is the happiest little person. The confidence levels are growing and we are very happy too.
Communication from them, even during this difficult time, has been outstanding.
There is always a warm welcome when you drop off/pick up your children.
The care at Bright Horizons in Ely has been excellent for both of our two children. The staff are so caring and really know our children. The team make sure we are kept informed about how the children are getting on, which has been really useful during the pandemic. The care is both personable and professional, and it shows in how much our children love going there.
My 12-month-old son started at nursery in late April. He settled almost immediately (minus a quick cry at the door in the mornings) and loves his days at nursery thanks to the fantastic staff. I am provided with a daily report as well as paintings and photos, which has really helped me know how much my son is thriving at Bright Horizons. I have and would highly recommend this setting to any parent looking for a nursery setting for their child.
Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool is a wonderful, well-run nursery. The management team are so friendly and efficient; they also take time to get to know the families. Our child's key workers are kind, enthusiastic, and are always approachable. We can't thank the team at Bright Horizons enough for everything they do, they have such a positive impact on our son's all-around development.
All the nursery staff have been fantastic at helping my daughter to settle back into nursery after a year at home and not really being used to playing with other children. She goes in happily and comes out happy, with lovely paintings and photos of all she has been up to. It is reassuring to see so many familiar faces on the team from five years ago, and all the staff work really hard to make the nursery safe, fun and supportive for the whole family despite the difficult circumstances. Thank you.
Our baby is now growing up to be a confident and social child and I fully believe this wouldn't have happened without the help of the nursery, the staff there and him having other children to play with. He loves playing in the garden, painting and eating everything that is put in front of him.
Every single member of staff has been absolutely lovely and helpful, I can't recommend this nursery enough.
My children whom are aged 6, 5, 4 and 18 months have attended Bright Horizons Ely at a point in their childhood. My son whom is 18 months has been with the nursery since he was six months old. I can not thank the nursery enough for the care they give my son, it is above and beyond, like a family atmosphere. They have helped him into a good routine for his sleep, he eats independently and his development stands at a two-year-olds level. They recently moved him to the next age group room to aid his development and within a few days, we could see the positive changes of not only independence but his verbal communication increased with his mobility advancing. We would very highly recommend this nursery. Thank you to all the staff in the room, to the management at the nursery, to the staff at head office.
This nursery is amazing. The way the key workers have nurtured my son is so comforting to know as a parent. My son has created close bonds with three or more of his key workers and shouts their names in excitement when he realises we are at nursery. They have helped develop his speech and understanding, he is always saying new words and talking about new topics when he gets home. They always call to let me know if he is having a rough day or has bumped his head, so I am always kept in the loop. We also receive a note at the end of the day detailing what he enjoyed doing that day, nappy changes and how much he ate at each meal time. They also accommodate to our vegan diet respectfully, no questions asked. All these create such a sense of involvement and the great communication is just beyond what is expected, due to previous experiences with other nurseries. Would recommend this nursery setting to any friend, family or stranger that asks. I genuinely cannot fault them.
Our toddler really loves going to this nursery. Communication between the nursery and parents has been really good, which has been really important during the pandemic. The staff are very friendly, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.
Our two and a half year old son is very happy at Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool. The team members are warm, welcoming and lots of fun. Our son is well-stimulated and cared for and comes home with happy memories of the day to discuss at dinner! The management team is helpful, very approachable and always happy to discuss our child. It's great that the nursery has such long opening hours, this gives us lots of flexibility around work. Thanks to the full Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery team, you're fantastic!
The staff are absolutely amazing. During the pandemic I was very nervous for my little one to start, but they made it a very easy transition in a very uncertain time. He now runs in very excited to go each day!

Hello, I am Chloe the Deputy Manager.
Since joining I have enjoyed learning so much more about childcare and development through the range of support Bright Horizons offers.
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.
