Review from J D (Father of Child) published on 12 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We cannot speak highly enough of this nursery and its wonderful team. When our four-year-old son joined eight months ago, we were understandably anxious after some difficult previous experiences. From the start, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and kind, helping him feel safe and valued.
The change in him has been remarkable. He is now happier, more confident, and full of curiosity, with a real love of learning. At weekends, he even role-plays as a teacher, organising games for us - something we never would have imagined before.

We are so grateful for the care and nurturing environment the team has provided. They have made a lasting, positive impact on our son at such an important stage in his life.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback. We are incredibly grateful for your trust and are delighted to hear how confident, happy and curious your son has become. Knowing he has developed such a strong love of learning and even role-playing as a teacher means so much to our team. It...

Review from M G (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with this nursery has been absolutely wonderful. My son attended from the age of 15 months until he started school, and the quality of care and education has been outstanding throughout.
The staff create such a nurturing, positive environment where children feel happy, safe, and excited to learn every day. It's clear how much dedication and love they put into their work, and it really shows in how confident and engaged the children are.
My son is bilingual, and the nursery was incredibly supportive of this. They embraced his language development and encouraged his communication and learning in such a thoughtful way, which meant a lot to us as a family.

We will always be grateful for the care, patience, and support they gave him during such an important stage of his life. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a truly caring and inspiring place for their child.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how positively your son's journey with us has been and that he felt happy, safe, and excited to learn throughout his time here. It's lovely to know the team supported his bilingual development so thoughtfully and helped him grow in confidence and learning. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Review from Imogen J (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot thank all the staff enough... Bright Horizons CSP has been such a nurturing, safe and supportive environment for both of our children. I have always appreciated how attentive all the staff are, so communicative, warm and loving, we have really enjoyed hearing about what our daughter got up to every day. I love that staff are always coming up with new ways to inspire the children by designing new learning activities, fun games and even environments for calm and rest (I remember arriving at pick up and the entire nursery was softly lit by fairy lights and calm music - a personal favourite!) I can't express how reassuring it has been, for a family with two busy working parents, to know your children are in such good hands... Now our youngest is starting school and we will miss everyone at nursery so much! It really has felt like a family.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your heartfelt words. We're so pleased both your children have thrived at Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park and that our team's care, creativity and communication have meant so much.

Review from N P (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has flourished since starting at BH CSP. He runs in smiling each morning, and it's a joy to see how safe, happy, and confident he feels. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child. His keyworker in particular has built a strong, trusting bond with him, and we're so grateful for their kindness and energy.
The food is another standout - varied, nutritious, and freshly prepared. Our son eats really well and has even become more adventurous with food at home thanks to the meals he enjoys at nursery.
The management team are incredibly supportive, compassionate, and always willing to help when we need it. Their professionalism and flexibility make such a difference.
Communication is excellent, with regular updates, photos, and insights into our son's day.

We're truly thankful to have found such a nurturing, high-quality setting. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a caring and well-run nursery.

Review from Jenny G (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter spent 1.5 years at Bright Horizons Cambridge science park, she has been happy and engaged at all stages of the setting. Management are really good at communicating via email and the app, and very responsive when we've had questions. Feedback on her progress is personal and thoughtful and always lovely to read. The only thing we would've liked to see more regularly is photos of what she gets up to, but she only attends 2 days a week so that might go some way to explain it.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons at Cambridge Science Park has been an exceptional nursery for our child. The staff are warm, passionate, and genuinely committed to every child's wellbeing and development. It's clear they form strong, caring bonds with the children, creating a safe and stimulating environment. There's a wonderful balance of play and learning, with engaging, age-appropriate activities each day. Our child especially enjoyed the nursery library, where children can borrow books - a brilliant way to encourage reading at home. The daily handovers are always detailed and thoughtful, helping us feel involved and informed. The food is nutritious and of excellent quality, and care is tailored to each child's needs. A special thank you to the nursery manager, has been incredibly kind, supportive, and approachable throughout. She always made things easier for us and handled everything with patience and understanding. We're truly grateful for the care and support our child received.

Review from D J (Father of Child) published on 17 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bright Horizons in Cambridge Science Park is a phenomenal nursery. A healthy mixture of play and learning which is stimulated by passionate staff working with the children. It is great to see that the teachers form bonds with the children and in turn the children feel safe and nurtured by the adults in the room.
The whole nursery experience is great with high quality food, age-appropriate activities, and catering to each child's specific needs.
One specific thing that our child has thoroughly enjoyed is the nursery library where children are allowed to borrow books at the end of the day.

At pickup a detailed handover is performed where the parent learns about the child's day and the activities performed. This allows further conversation and reflection about the child's experience.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park Day Nursery and Preschool

We are very pleased with our experience at this nursery. The spacious rooms and individual outdoor play areas for each group create a comfortable and safe environment for the children. The staff are friendly and professional and the management is simply excellent. They always strive to understand and address any issues that arise, making collaboration with them very pleasant.
There are plenty of creative activities and developmental games for the children, fostering their overall development. Communication with parents is top-notch: all important messages and notifications are promptly sent via email.

We really value this nursery for our son. It has friendly, engaged and caring staff, purpose-built facilities, excellent management with great communication to parents and carers. Our son has had consistent key workers which has really helped him settle and when moving rooms. He really loves going in and playing with all the toys and his friends. He also loves the food.

My elder daughter was at Bright Horizons from age one until she started school, and my younger one is about to leave to start school. It's indeed a bittersweet moment for us, marking the end of an era. We are grateful for the exceptional care provided to both my daughters during their time at Cambridge Science Park Nursery.

Thank you for Bright Horizons' dedication and support in nurturing our daughters' growth and development.

Overall Experience

My eldest child was at Bright Horizons from age one until he started school, and my youngest is just about to leave to start school himself. The nursery have been such a huge part of our life, we will be very sad to say goodbye! The staff are wonderful, both my children have formed great bonds with them and talk about them all the time at home. They make everyday fun, put so much effort into activities and pay attention to the children's interests. They have helped so much in our lives, from feeding, toilet training, naps, behaviour, how to navigate friendships, all of which has helped prepare them for school. All the staff are kind, friendly and caring - the kitchens do a fantastic job making lovely home-cooked food and the management are so efficient and helpful. It has been so lovely to know our children are somewhere safe, being well looked after and having fun, thank you to everyone who has looked after them over the years - we will miss you!

My son attended the nursery for around two years and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He was well looked after at the nursery. We have seen him grow and learn new things in the supportive environment of the incredibly dedicated staff. The feedback sessions we have had with the staff, and the open line of communication with them, always made us part of his everyday journey. We thank you for all your hard work. Best wishes!

It was a wonderful experience overall. We heard about them from one of our friends and heard everything good about this nursery. Communication with the staff was prompt and easy. The staff were very kind and supportive throughout. Definitely, I could see my son learning new activities and exploring new things there. All of my son's key workers were very patient and mentioned everything that happened on a daily basis. I would like to thank all the staff and management at Bright Horizons for their amazing work.

Overall Experience

Our son attended Bright Horizons Cambridge Science Park for just over a year from when he turned 1. He had a fantastic time at the nursery and made a number of friends that he would talk about at home. He is very energetic and exuberant and the staff were really great with him, turning his energy into fun activities and opportunities for learning. We enjoyed being able to see what he was up to through the Famly app and know what he had eaten and when he had slept during the day. We are moving away from Cambridge so are reluctantly taking him to a new nursery. We would have been extremely happy for him to attend until he went to school, and leaving this nursery is one of the biggest regrets of our move! We will miss all the excellent staff who have been so good with our son and we certainly highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Our little boy attended the nursery for nearly 2 years and we couldn't recommend it enough! If it wasn't for the fact we were moving out of the area we would be keeping him there until he went to school. He absolutely loved it and was always happy to go in, he made lots of friends and would always talk about what he did in the day. The staff are amazing and so so caring. The nursery has an app so you can monitor what the little one has done throughout the day and get shown pictures of some of the activities. Definitely highly recommend!

Rebecca Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2019
Rebecca

I have worked within the childcare industry since 2009 and have immensely enjoyed every minute of it! I joined our Bright Horizons family in 2012, where I have continued to grow and develop within the company and gained my NVQ Level 3 qualification.

I have enjoyed the experience with all ages, but even more so with the younger children due to being a room leader in a baby room for 7 years. My passion is to thrive in exceptional parent and partnership, maintaining a good relationship with all parents and potential clients to ensure parents know they can approach me when necessary. I have a son who makes me proud every single day as he grows and develops with all the new skills he's learning. I am a bubbly, outgoing character who loves animals, especially horses, as I was brought up around them. This gives me a great excuse to explore the countryside with my family at the weekends. My son keeps me busy and enjoys visiting the zoo and farms in our spare time, too!
