Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Talbot Woods is a great nursery. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting back in February. They have taught him so much already and continue to progress his development. We get regular updates on how his day is going and lots of pictures which is great. The staff are so lovely and are always happy to have a chat about anything. They care a lot and it really shows. I cannot thank this nursery enough for the care and attention they give to my little boy. Thank you so much for everything.

Excellent nursery. Staff are hard-working and have all taken real time to understand my son and his likes and dislikes. Lovely room setting and all kids seem genuinely happy to be there which speaks volumes.

Overall Experience

The nursery looks after my child's dietary requirements very diligently. The app keeps us informed about the routine and daily activities and their developmental progress. The rooms are clean and the summer activities in the garden are very attractive and engaging. I would highly recommend the nursery to parents. I wish the half-day booking option was available again.

We have had a fab experience so far, as first-time parents we were very nervous about how our little one would react to being put into nursery but everyone was very welcoming and supportive and our little one has been thriving! Would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience

Talbot Woods Nursery is a great school for my daughter, who started there 2 years ago. The staff is very friendly and approachable. They do everything to make your kid feel welcomed and loved. She loves the activities there and learned a lot of stuff which will help her transition to reception class this year. Food is good as well.

Review from Sheridan H (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son seems to really love it at Bright Horizons Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool. He took a while to settle in but the team were really helpful at helping us find ways to encourage him to learn, we do come back. We feel like our son has grown so much from interacting with the other young ones and are so grateful for how the nursery has helped raise our little boy, our key caregivers seem really engaged with our son and it feels as though they have a genuine bond with him which is so reassuring and love our little daily updates with pictures!

Review from J M (Father of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my children have been at the nursery, my eldest is now in year one at school, and despite the distance between home and nursery we decided to put our daughter in too because of how amazing all staff have been.
Cannot fault them at all, always ever so helpful, staff are always friendly and helpful too.

I think it would be really nice if the children were to be able to get out into public local parks etc but aside from that faultless.

Overall Experience

I sent my son here during the pandemic and was so happy with the care he received I recently returned with my younger daughter. The staff are so lovely and caring, my daughter lights up with a smile every time we arrive at the nursery in the morning. The activities look interesting and stimulating, and communication is good via the app and at the end of each day.

Overall Experience

I feel confident that I picked a fantastic nursery for my little boy. He comes home happy and it's clear he's well looked after. The team are great, they took the time to learn about his unique likes and dislikes and seem to genuinely care about the children in their care. They keep me updated via the app and always let me know how his day was when I pick him up. 10 out of 10!
