The attention and genuine care from all the staff towards our little one as well as to us as parents has been nothing short of fantastic.

It means a lot to know you've felt genuinely cared for as a family - that's exactly what we strive for. Thank you for being part of our Talbot Woods community!
Can't fault this nursery, all the staff are so friendly and helpful. My child has been there since they were 9 months old and every different key worker they've had has played a positive role in their life. Management are always so helpful with my questions and sorting anything out that I need to know. My child has had a wonderful time at nursery!
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad your child has had a great experience with us. Our team loves supporting their journey.
Talbot Woods has been a truly amazing part of my children's lives, caring for three of them from tiny babies through to preschool. The team has been very supportive, especially in helping one of my children secure an EHCP, which is so important for his future. The daily journal with photos and descriptions of their activities show that they're always engaged in fun, enriching activities. The caregivers are exceptional, kind, attentive, and truly invested in the children. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience!
Thank you for your kind review! We appreciate your feedback about our caregivers and enriching activities - it's been a pleasure to provide such a positive experience for your family!
The staff are very caring and warm and the updates given on what your child has been doing during the day are always detailed.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place for their child.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that both of your sons enjoyed their time with us. It's wonderful to know that the staff and daily updates have made such a positive impact. Thank you for your recommendation.
Amazing nursery. I recently moved house and had to enrol my daughter and son into Bright Horizons Talbot Woods Day Nursery. The staff are so warm and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure the kids settled in nicely. They give great feedback about how your child is doing during the day ensuring you feel they are being well looked after. 10/10! I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area. Keep doing what your doing Talbot Day Nursery!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that your children have settled in well and that our team has made such a positive impact. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
Bright Horizons Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool is still my life-changing nursery. My little one has been over a year now there and she just loves it. All the staff are beyond caring and lovely people. The site is always immaculately clean and everything is in order! Considering that they are dealing with all ages, is great to see how is all well-organised. On top of that, all the staff are super lovely with the little ones, even if they are not in their rooms which creates an amazing and good environment for everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted your little one loves it here and that you value our caring team and well-organised environment.
Great nursery and pre-school. My daughter has enjoyed going here and the staff have always been so friendly and welcoming and facilities are lovely. She has learnt so much and we have seen a great advancement in her, since attending preschool, as they help to prepare the kids for primary school with phonics, writing and reading all in a lovely fun and entertaining manner. Would always recommend this nursery as we have had a great experience with them.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the team and that your daughter loves her nursery. Thank you for your recommendation.
Also I like the fact they have a platform to check-in with you during the day. Fantastic team at Talbot woods. Keep it up.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled your concerns were quickly resolved and that your son loves his caregivers. It's great to hear you value the check-in platform too. We'll share your feedback with the Talbot Woods team, they'll be delighted!
It's been amazing with Bumblebees as my baby boy's key worker has been so patient with him as he gets upset a lot and he's starting to get better and showing and talking about nursery and the stuff and staff in there have really helped to get him better and wanting to go to nursery.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that your baby is feeling more comfortable and enjoying nursery. Thank you for choosing Bright Horizons Talbot Woods.
It is almost six-plus months my son has been attending the nursery and enjoying the same. Last week he moved to the toddler room from baby room. He enjoyed the time he had with his primary caregiver a lot. From the very beginning, his caregiver has demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect with children, creating a nurturing and supportive environment that has greatly benefitted my child. The positive impact it has had on my child's development and well-being is immeasurable. My son has thrived under her care, showing significant progress in social skills, creativity, confidence, friendship and many more. Now, that my son has moved to the toddler room, he will surely miss his caregiver however we are looking forward to him settling with his new caregiver.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your son has enjoyed his time at the nursery and made such great progress with his key carer.
I have two children that attend Bright Horizons Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool. Both of them have flourished with socialising with other adults and children and are growing into confident young people. They are always having a great time when we pick them up at the end of the day. I love the photo updates we receive and most importantly, the care the staff provide meets all expectations and more.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your valuable review. We are delighted to receive your positive feedback and we're thrilled to hear your child is settling in and thriving at our nursery.
He started in the baby room which was great with lots of resources for the children. He moved to the next room and loved being outside and playing with the toys. The only concern I have is we were told there was a chef on sight preparing food. This has never been the case and I find the menu is a bit random and uninspiring. However, my son eats well so he must like it.
Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that your son enjoys his time at the nursery and that the staff's care and resources have made a positive impact. We appreciate your input regarding the menu which changes four times a year. We're glad he's eating well.
We couldn't be more happy with the hard work, care and attention provided and we would recommend this nursery setting to all!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that all three of your children have thrived at Bright Horizons Talbot Woods. Thank you for your recommendation.
The staff at the nursery are fantastic. They have helped our child settle in with a personalised, compassionate approach. There are lots of activities and toys on offer and our child is clearly entertained all day.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our staff's personalised and compassionate approach has helped your child settle in. It's great to know they're enjoying the activities and toys. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to be part of your child's days.
We are very happy with the nursery. Since my son moved to the Ladybird room he seems a lot happier and loves playing out in the garden. He has also made a few close friends which is great to see. We would like to give our thanks to the key workers who are doing a great job and are always smiling even after a busy/tiring day at work.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words.
We definitely made the right choice in enrolling her at this nursery.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear your daughter has settled in well and that you're enjoying the updates on the app. We look forward to watching her continue to thrive!
I think very highly of the team at Bright Horizons Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool. My daughter is very happy there and well looked after. At pick up she often doesn't want to leave! She has made excellent friends and loves the staff who are very caring and good fun.
We are delighted to receive your positive feedback and we're thrilled to hear your daughter is thriving at our nursery.
It has been really challenging for us to leave our son in someone else's care but hand on my heart if I can fault them. Any issues or queries that we had were sorted and there has been nothing that our son did that we were not aware of. It's always lovely to see the photos posted and the activities that all of them are doing. So thank you to all of you who help to create these little human characters and for looking after them with all your love.
Thank you for your kind words! We understand how challenging it can be to leave your child in someone else's care, and we're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with us. It's wonderful to know that our updates and photos have been reassuring and that you appreciate the love and attention we give to all the children. Thank you for your support!
My husband and I are truly grateful to the staff for their support in our child's development.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that your son feels confident and happy at Talbot Woods Nursery. It's great to know he's enjoying the fun and engaging activities we offer. We're grateful for your kind words and are pleased to support his development.
