Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool

We moved to this nursery after having an unsatisfactory experience at another site. The staff here were so brilliant in helping my child settle in, and helped to make sure my husband and I were happy with our new choice in nursery. Now our child is thriving! They are constantly learning new things and socialising more with their peers. The staff is caring to the children and considerate to the parents. I could not recommend this nursery more!

I am very grateful for all staff from baby room especially from Maria which is my baby's key person. My baby is thriving here, learning so much and I feel that this nursery has all the tools needed for child development. I am happy overall from this past 7 months. All staff hear us as parents, our concerns , they are very helpful in every change and new step. My baby/toddler now is very happy so we are very happy as well.

It really is a special place, and we're so grateful for the amazing start both of our kids have had here!

I've never had to worry leaving my little one at nursery. I look forward leaving him behind because I know he's in a safe, loving and caring environment. The staff do a fantastic job with our children and I've never found reason to fault them. Highly recommend this nursery.

Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool is great. The staff genuinely care and create meaningful bonds with the children who clearly have a lot of fun. The management listen to parents concerns and suggests any changes that could be made to improve the experience of your child.

Environment is always clean, organised and welcoming.

Thank you!

It is the third year my daughter attending the nursery and I cannot describe how happy we are with everything. The personnel is amazing and very stable, the food menus are always through through, and there are many learning and fun activities organised all the time. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone!

The staff at Bright Horizons Long Road have been wonderful with our daughter and, now, son who both attend the setting. What I love about the nursery is the family, community feeling and how warm and welcoming everyone is. Our children have thrived under their care and I feel very confident in sending my daughter to school in September based on the confidence and education she has received while at the nursery.

Overall, I highly recommend Bright Horizons Long Road Nursery!

Our child started here in September 2024 and has been very happy. All the staff are friendly and take good care of our child. She is close to her main carer and other staff. They provide her with opportunities to learn and interact with other children. We highly recommend this nursery.

I have a 2-year-old son that attends nursery one day a week. He started off in the baby room and has now transitioned to unit 2. He loves nursery and I can already see him learning so much from his time there. There is a constant flow of learning opportunities for him to benefit from. For a child that likes an adult's presence, he is given more than enough attention to keep him happy as well as promoting independence during his play. I am so glad my son attends Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool.

Our son is having a great time at nursery, he talks about his friends at home and the activities done at nursery. The staff in Unit 4 planned amazing activities for World Book Day, even a parent's tea with the children in the room and our son was proud to have his sister there. I think our son enjoys going to the nursery because there are always a few children greeting the room and he seems to be happy and excited. The app is regularly updated with the food they have eaten for the day, sleep times and nappy change times, which is great. The staff are great and they really do care for the kids.

The staff are brilliant and nurture, encourage, and educate children on things such as emotions, friendships, and good behaviour. The daily and weekly activities are many, varied, and well thought out, creative, and fun. My children's social skills are thriving and my eldest who is approaching 4 years old is able to read and write simple words. My youngest has only been attending for a few months but l can already see a difference in him. He is much more confident and has become more curious about the world around him since starting.

My 2-year-old has been going to Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool for just over a year. She is so happy to be dropped off each day, she’s always excited to go into the room and see her friends, the staff looking after her and what might be set up in the room that day. The staff are incredibly caring and consistently provide gentle encouragement and guidance alongside education for the children in their care. My elder daughter (now at school) also went to Long Road, so I have experienced having a child in all the rooms at the nursery and they have all been brilliant.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. As always, thank you Long Road!

Thank you to all of the staff at the nursery!

Our daughter has really enjoyed her first 18 months at the nursery. The staff have taken such lovely care of her. They organise a wonderful range of activities each day. We are very happy that her younger sister will be starting there in the summer.

I am very happy with how my son is settling into the room. Thank you Explorers team!

Kudos to the staff of Bright Horizons Long Road! We love the staff and the kids love them, too. However, the only thing that we are looking at is the cleanliness of the rooms especially in the baby room. Maybe the staff should have a separate sandals/shoes that they use when they’re inside and outside the room. This is because most of the kids in the baby room crawl and pick everything up from the floor. Imagine going out on a rainy day with the same shoes you step inside the room and the kids pick their toys from it. I hope this could be improved. Aside from this, everything’s amazing!

My eldest son has attended the nursery since he was two years old after moving from another nursery. The staff helped him a lot with the transitioning, and they have always given him emotional support to build his confidence. He is now in pre-school and is always very happy to attend. They offer amazing learning opportunities and even special trips like pumpkin picking and a day out at the farm on Sundays. My youngest son is in the baby room, and the teachers are very attentive, and taking very good care of him. After the usual adjusting time, he is now always smiling and happy to go. I highly recommend this nursery!
