Fantastic nursery experience so far. Attentive and professional staff, offering the high care and flexibility that children (and parents!) need. Our daughter settled in really quickly and bonded with the staff immediately.

Highly recommend bright horizons in southam. I have one child who left in august last year to start school and she has been there since a baby and now my second has started in baby room. Both my girls loved it there and Seeing how much my girls have changed and learnt while at bright horizons is beyond words and that is all down to the staff and how wonderful they are

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Southam Day Nursery and Preschool has been fantastic at caring for both of my sons; they are brilliant at building relationships with the children and nurturing their development, improving their confidence and social skills. They are great communicators and make use of the technology available to them to keep parents informed of both their child's progress and also what is happening in the wider nursery and Bright Horizons organisation. The nursery is a welcoming, secure place to be and both my sons have enjoyed their time there. We are very grateful to all of the staff for everything they've done, and very happy with the way Bright Horizons is managed.

Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear your sons have thrived at Bright Horizons.

Overall Experience
My son has been coming to this nursery since he was 14 months old.
He's always been very happy here and I've been satisfied with the care he's received. The staff are consistent and you feel safe handing your child to them every morning.
If there has been any incidents (falls, cuts etc), the staff are very thorough with their care and my son has always been attended to.
He has had good positive relationships with all his key workers and the staff are friendly and approachable
I will be sending my youngest child here too when I return to work.

Highly recommend this nursery to all friends in the area.

My son was previously in another nursery but the staff have been amazing with everything, he settled in so quickly thanks to them and he is absolutely thriving, comes home and sings all the songs he learns at nursery. He already is able to recognise letters and numbers. They are absolutely amazing!

Review from Olivia H (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Bright Horizons Southam Day Nursery and Preschool for just over 4 months now, and we really can't sing their praises enough. The staff are just wonderful; friendly, attentive, and so caring. Our son fell ill quite recently, and the response from the nursery has been nothing short of amazing. Measures have been put in place to not only prioritise his health and safety, but to put our minds at ease also, and for that, we are truly grateful. We couldn't be happier sending our little boy here.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Bright Horizona Southam Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 14 months old. I was so nervous about sending him to a nursery but Bright Horizons is truly excellent - the staff are so caring and treat the children like their own. As a parent, I receive regular updates on the app about my son's day and his learning progress. All of the activities are centred around the children's development and you can really see the time and effort which go into making sure that the children are engaged and constantly learning.

Overall Experience

We have been sending our children to Bright Horizons Southam Day Nursery and Preschool for two years now and cannot fault them at all. Both children love going to nursery, are excited to see their friends and key workers. Communication is great, we get regular updates, lovely detailed handovers and the app is fantastic for keeping an eye on what they are up to and for getting in touch with the rooms or office. The manager has been brilliant for us, very knowledgeable and a fantastic communicator, we always feel like we are in safe hands and it shows with how well our boys are doing, they are really thriving. The setting is great, the rooms are perfectly tailored to the different ages and one of our favourite things is they have access to the garden all the time, something not all nurseries can offer.

Overall Experience

Southam Bright Horizons has been an amazing place for my son to learn and thrive since he was 10 months old. He is autistic and non-verbal, and the staff and Senco here have been absolutely incredible in supporting him and supporting us whilst going through the dreaded Education, Health and Care plan process (which we have in place thanks to their help). We can't recommend this nursery enough!

Review from Rachael Y (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have nothing but positive comments for our little girl's nursery. She has been going here for the last 2 years and is so well looked after. She's made great friends who we have play dates outside of nursery, she runs in each time, often forgetting to say bye to me. The staff are great, the activities they set up are so enriching and the impact that this nursery environment has had for our daughter has been incredible. An added bonus is the chef on site which means all meals are freshly prepared and there's such a great variety.

Thank you as always for providing the best care and making working parenthood that bit easier. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

We love Bright Horizons Southam Day Nursery and Preschool, it is such a friendly place filled with joy and care. I was worried that my baby will be crying and it will take her a long time to settle in, but it wasn't the case at all. Baby room staff made sure my baby was alright and it is now her favourite place to be. I also love that the nursery can cater for our dietary requirements, the meals are very nutritious and balanced.

Review from Alice H (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Wonderful nursery with amazing staff who provide a caring maternal welcome each morning. They have never not got a smile on their face and make drop offs and pick ups really pleasant. Nothing is too much and they provide excellent care in a well-nurturing environment. The routine and meals are well structured and the manger is always on hand to talk to and message throughout the day. I've used the nursery for my three children from 2013 - present and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. They really do help little ones grow and go above and beyond for every child's individual needs.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Bright Horizons in Southam for several months now and loves it. The staff are absolutely amazing, staff turnover is minimal and this was what sold it for us. They are so caring and loving towards her and approachable should you have any questions. The nursery cooks yummy home cooked dinners and regularly updates your child's day on the app. There is good security and I always know she will be in safe hands when I leave her. There are clear activities and plenty of learning through play. She has come on leaps since attending. The nursery has a real home from home feel about it and I am so glad we chose it for our daughter.

Overall Experience

I have been using the nursery for the past 7 years for both my children and they have honestly become like extended family. They are always so caring and lovely to deal with and put so much effort into the children's happiness and education. Both girls have always loved attending and we will all be very sad when the youngest goes off to school and we have to leave. The facilities are brilliant and I'm always very impressed with the activities they do and the meals that are served. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery.

Overall Experience

When you walk through the door, you can feel the warm, friendly atmosphere. The children are always happy and engaged in the activities that are provided for them when I collect my goddaughter. The staff always greet you with a smile and gives in-depth feedback about her day. The garden has recently been refurbished and has really enhanced what was already a large spacious area. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.
