Bright Horizons Fulbourn Day Nursery and Preschool

The early years of development shape our personality and our lives. It is important that we choose, when we can, the best environment for this growth. I have the highest appreciation for the job of carers of babies and toddlers day after day. We can only thank the staff for doing a wonderful job every day.

My 2 and a half-year-old has been at Fulbourn Bright Horizons nursery since his first birthday. He started in the "baby" room, is now in the "toddler" room and will soon progress to "rising 3's"- and his gestating brother is registered too. He adores this nursery - the rooms are spacious, each with their own quiet sleeping area and outdoor garden with age-appropriate toys. The nursery is purpose built and is situated in a very quiet spot, away from roads and cars, nestled within a large green park with lots of mature trees. The children spend a lot of time outside and so it is nice to know that this time is accompanied by a background noise of birds chirping rather than cars. The food plan is specifically designed by a nutritionist and the staff are very receptive to any parental preference on food. Furthermore, the staff and management seem genuinely interested in the happiness and wellbeing of the children in their care. I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough.

When he's ill, the nursery takes it very seriously and helps me determine the best approach based on his symptoms. We recently experienced very heavy snowfall in the area, but Bright Horizons Fulbourn remained open which allowed me to go to work while parents of children at other nurseries had to stay home from work that day. I really love this nursery.

My daughter has been with Fulbourn Day Nursery, Bright Horizon for almost a year now. We find the staff and facilities absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend the place to our friends and family.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for almost a year and she is happy going every day and never hesitated. The staff are very friendly and kind and my daughter never complained about anything so far. The nursery opens from 7 AM until 6 PM and it is really convenient for working parents to drop off early and pick up after work. Staffs keep the nursery clean and tidy and it always keeps a good impression for the nursery. I will definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

We have had two children at this nursery and have always found it to have very friendly, responsible and proactive staff and management.

One of our children required some additional developmental help; the nursery has been excellent in both initially identifying this, giving extra care, and also in guiding us with the necessary steps in successfully applying for government support.

My son stayed in this nursery from his very early start (1 1/2 years) until now - he is 3 1/2 years old. He was very shy and sensitive initially but now is so confident and open. All these fantastic changes are made by the brilliant team in the nursery. From the Toddlers' Room to Rising 3 to Pre-School, all the teachers are warm-hearted. They spent great effort to settle him in, to teach him good manners and communication skills. The nursery activities are so impressive and the security is at an outstanding level.

Thanks to all teachers and the nursery manager at this day nursery. My son has settled in another Pre-Prep School successfully with so many developments.

Both of my children have been coming to the nursery since they were 1 year old. My eldest is now 3 1/2 years old and the youngest is 20 months. They are very happy and enjoy going there. I like the outdoor spaces they have for the children to explore, especially the safe outdoor space for the young baby group. The location is very convenient for me as it's very near to my work. As a part-timer, the opening and closing time allows me to fit as many hours within my working days so it's a bonus. The only negative point I can think of is that there were times I felt there weren't enough staff for the number of children for certain periods, but I didn't feel worried much. Last but not least, the people are very friendly and lovely. So I would definitely recommend the place to anyone.

Ever since our first induction day, there has always been a welcoming atmosphere. Our son integrated very well and the carers are always happy to provide us with information about his day. He comes home tired, like a baby that has had lots of fun and learn lots all day! Thanks.

As a first-time parent, I was apprehensive of my daughter settling in but the management and the staff helped my 6-month-old daughter to settle quickly which was a big comfort to me and my husband. It has been a positive experience especially the staff being excellent which has put us at ease that our daughter is in safe hands. My daughter is having a positive learning experience with different activities to support her growth.

I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family. The manager is extremely proficient and very professional. When I looked round she instilled a lot of confidence and the purpose built nursery was friendly and welcoming. My son started in the toddler room 5 months ago and settled very quickly which is a reflection of the hard work and effort the team put in. He has grown immensely in his confidence since starting nursery and clearly enjoys himself. He was transitioned into the rising 3's room recently which was done in a way which minimised any anxieties that he and I had. He again settled very quickly and is enjoying learning new skills and undertaking new activities every day. The outside space is great and the children are encouraged to play outside and freely move from outside space to inside as they wish. I have nothing but praise for the teams and manager.

The carers are helpful, warm and genuine people, and take a real interest in the children. We have found it to be a safe environment and also conducive to early learning activities. The facilities are clean and modern with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the kids. Overall it has been a very good experience for us and the kids.

The facilities are outstanding, big rooms, clean and lots of open space outside to play. I highly recommend the nursery.

The management are super helpful and effective, they know every child by name and welcome them each morning with a smile and phrases like ‘thank you for sharing her with us today’ when you leave which really adds to the family feel.

My son has attended the setting from 8 months old and has loved every minute! He is now in the toddler room at 19 months old and thrives from all the fantastic activities the staff deliver. My son will now wave to me in the mornings and will happily go to any staff member in the room showing he has good relationships with them all. When I pick my son up I know he has had a fantastic day from the smile on his face. The nursery is spacious and modern and the garden space is perfect as that's where my son would prefer to be! He has developed so well and I put that down to him attending this setting. Highly recommend to anyone looking to put their child in a fun, safe and caring environment.

Our son has been going to the nursery for the last 2.5 years and we have been very happy with the service. We chose the nursery as the staff are friendly and seem to genuinely care for the children. They take an active interest in our son's development and make constructive suggestions to help with any issues. There are good outside spaces, which my son really enjoys, especially the sand. They occasionally go on little trips around the business park which my son also enjoys. They hold events during the year where the families can meet.

There have been moments when I have felt certain members of staff could benefit from being more approachable or helpful, but having raised my concerns with the nursery manager I felt fully assured that the necessary steps will be taken/people will be spoken too. However, having said that, all other staff members are very caring and nurturing. My little one has formed some really nice relationships with her carers and that is always a nice thing when you are leaving your child in someone else's care. I would say the manager is very efficient, approachable, knowledgeable and informative. She does a great job of managing a busy nursery.

My daughter is very happy at this nursery. She loves all the activities on offer, and sometimes doesn't want to leave. The staff are caring and her key-worker takes a genuine interest in her development and well-being.

We have been very pleased with Fulbourn Day Nursery. The resources, facilities and outdoor space are the best we have seen in Cambridge, the staff are friendly and caring and our children love the time they spend at the nursery. Any questions or changes we have requested have been responded to quickly and helpfully. The nursery is well managed, highly organised and the manager has everything well under control. We have enjoyed the additional events talks and seminars that have been put on. We feel well updated on the children's progress and their learning stories are kept well up to date. Overall we have been very pleased with the nursery and our children love it!

I really like the nursery structure inside and outside. The administration is good as well as the staff. My son is generally happy to go and he has made very good friends. Helped him with his English too. Very happy about it.
