Southam Bright Horizons has been such a wonderful environment for both of my children to grow up in. The staff are kind, loving and professional and always strive to provide a fun and educational environment for the children. They conduct numerous educational activities and always give updates on what my children are doing. A highly recommended and fantastic nursery.
From starting in the baby room and progressing to the toddlers, the standards have never dropped.
She is always happy at the end of each nursery day and always has a lot to tell me about the activities they have done.
The introduction of the nursery app has been revolutionary from a Covid Mummy who couldn't go into the nursery initially for a walk round etc.
The staff have always been kind and supportive, with an informative handover at every pickup.
I can't recommend this nursery enough.
My youngest child has struggled with separation anxiety since returning to nursery after Christmas, but all the staff have been really helpful and good at comforting him (and me) to help him settle. They always get out activities that he asks for to ensure his time at the nursery is an enjoyable one, and every time I pick him up, he has a big smile on his face and tells me what a good day he's had playing. Also, my daughter was very shy and nervous when she started nursery, and they did a fantastic job of helping my daughter to gain confidence and preparing her for school, which made the transition from nursery to school a smooth one.
At every drop off they ask if my child is okay and if there are any concerns, if there were any concerns then they work with you to make a plan to overcome the said issue. At every pick up they inform how the child has been in the day and what they've been up to and what moods they've been in.
Within the past month, my little one felt poorly. The staff took her temperature and noticed it was high so they contacted me to ask if they could give her Calpol and see if she perks up. After giving her Calpol there wasn't much improvement so I picked her up and spent a few days at home. My point is that the staff always look out for the kids, they get to know them all individually so they know when something isn't right.
I can honestly say, taking my little one to this nursery was the best choice!
There are plenty of opportunities for the children to lead their own play and develop their interests.
The nursery has done a great job of creating a new outside space - my daughter loves it!
My son has thrived since joining this nursery in September last year. His speech/vocabulary and social skills have improved and he is very happy to go every morning. He has bonded with the lovely staff and runs to them for hugs which reassures me he is very well looked after.
Top nursery, with happy children and quality staff. Both of my children have been in the nursery and are very happy there. Would recommend it to others.
Cannot fault the nursery. The staff are absolutely wonderful, with regular updates and a noticeable bond formed with the children. Activities and food are well suited to the age groups. Every pickup is usually detailed and informative, relaying the daily activities of the child. Facilities seem well suited and the grounds are recently renovated making for an enjoyable outdoor space.
Such a brilliant nursery and preschool - the engagement with parents both in person and via the app is great, all the staff and management are lovely and very educational and our little one absolutely loves going!
We are generally just so happy with Bright Horizons. Our little boy started at the age of one and was made to feel so welcome and safe from day 1. He skips in each time we take him which is a sign of how brilliant the nursery is. Very grateful for the wonderful care the staff give! And our little boy seems to have come on leaps and bounds with his development. Our second little boy will be starting this year.
From day one, the whole team made me feel safe and I began to feel comfortable leaving him. They worked with me and my boy to help us both settle; fast forward 2 months, he is happy, loves going and eats! Trusting the wonderful team is what makes Bright Horizons so perfect for your little one, they can't do enough for your little person and love them making them feel special! Thank you Bright Horizons - we love you!
My daughter started when she was a year old. All the staff are so amazing. They are friendly and approachable. Nothing is a problem for them. They have guided me through being a first time mum. I am so grateful they have given my daughter such a wonderful experience and a positive start to life.
Both of our children have flourished at Bright Horizons thanks to the excellent care provided by the whole team in all of the rooms they have attended. The consistency of staff has always reassured us and the activities provided have meant their development has come on leaps and bounds. We cannot thank them enough.
We have always been extremely happy with the care and communication we have received from all the staff at Southam. All the staff are friendly and caring and we've always felt very comfortable leaving both our children with staff, even on those days where your child is crying their eyes out! I know they are loved and supported. The management are amazing and they are super helpful and kind. I think the standard of food provided is exceptional. I never hesitate to recommend to anyone.
Overall, very happy with the nursery. My daughter has developed and grown so much in the last year. We are pleased with the activities and learning carried out and are confident she will be well prepared for school next year.
All 3 of our children have been to Southam Nursery over the last 12 years. Many of the staff are still the same which creates a real sense of family. The newly refurbished building looks amazing and has some fantastic new spaces and facilities as well as the new app to see all the info about our daughter say. The staff and nursery have given our children the best possible start. We recommend it to everyone we know.
My second child is currently at the nursery but my first child also attended so have known the team for six years. Such a lovely team of staff which both of my children have formed close bonds with. We are updated and reminded at every available opportunity and both of my children have absolutely thrived there. The only downside will be when my child starts school in September and I won’t get to see them anymore.
The baby room team are fantastic. The girls from the other rooms are friendly and say hello outside. The care my child receives is good and feedback is lovely to hear. He clearly loves the ladies who care for him because he gets excited to see them and is happy for me to leave.
My little boy has been attending Bright Horizons Southam since he was 16 months old, he is now nearly 4, and I can’t fault their care and dedication to the children. As a full-time teacher, it has made it so much easier for me to be back at work knowing he is getting such amazing care and attention. My little boy has delayed speech and all of his key workers have taken the time to speak to me, reassure me of his progress and plan his next steps. I think they all do a wonderful job, especially under the circumstances they have been under recently.
We now live further away but would not send our son to any other nursery as the staff are absolutely fantastic. My son has made great progress in all area and this is definitely in part down to the nurturing environment and fabulous activities that the staff put on for the children.
Our son has multiple allergies and we have no concerns that he would receive anything that he couldn’t have which really puts our mind at ease.
The recent refurb of the rooms has made the learning environments even better and we can’t wait to hear what exciting adventure our son will be involved in next at the outstanding nursery.
