Overall Experience

Both my little ones attend here. Eldest started in Feb 2024. Never had any issues very attentive to detail and love how multi cultural they are. They cater to all dietary needs and super careful with allergens. Would recommend this nursery to all parents.

Overall Experience
Brilliant Nursery! 5 stars in everything!
Such a warm atmosphere, my son loves it here, he has settled so well into his first term with their brilliant settling in sessions, he walks in happily into the setting daily and loves the girls. All my queries are dealt with promptly and the Pre- school staff are brilliant (Khadija and Charlotte) always give lovely feedback reassuring me they are trying their best to support my child.

The management is excellent Thanks Collette!

Review from Rozina H (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has come such a long way since joining the nursery. It took her a couple of weeks to settle in, mainly with drop-offs, but she quickly grew comfortable. She initially bonded with one key worker in the baby room and another in the toddler room, and over time she's become more open to all the staff.
The nursery has really supported her developmentshe's progressed with potty training, trying new foods, and has become much more confident, playful, and social. She loves being there and enjoys playing with the other children.
The nursery is clean and tidy, and Zahra always comes home well cared for, with no mess on her clothes or in her hair. It's clear the staff really look after the children.
One small improvement could be more regular updates, weekly or at least every two weeks with pictures and details of daily activities. This would help parents feel more connected to what their children are doing. More activities outside too

Overall, we're very happy with the nursery

Overall Experience
A fantastic nursery and brilliant staff!
My son began attending Bright Horizons earlier this year and he absolutely loves it. His face lights up as soon as he sees the nursery doors, he adores all of the girls who work there. The setting is wonderful, it is always clean and tidy in a morning with plenty of toys and activities for my child to choose from.

I always recieve positive feedback about my child's day at nursery, staff are happy to answer any questions I have & always have a smile on their face, and emails/messages are responded to promptly. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others!

Overall Experience
My little girl has been at Bright Horizons Bolton Day Nursery and Preschool for two years, she was a very shy girl but within a few weeks, she had changed and learned so much. The staff have been absolutely amazing with her and with us.

We have had so much help with potty training too. I couldn't thank the staff enough for the amount of effort and care they have put in, in making my little girl more than ready for reception.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery! Our son has been with Bright Horizons since March 2024. The staff have been great and reassured a nervous first-time mum and dad so much and made us feel very involved with our son's time with them. He has come on leaps and bounds and developed so well. He comes home from nursery so happy and often babbles the names of staff. We genuinely love our son attending Bright Horizons Bolton Day Nursery and Preschool and couldn't recommend enough.

Overall Experience

My son has been coming to nursery for just over a year now. The settling in sessions when they first start really helped settle him in. He absolutely loves coming to nursery. He talks a lot about some of the staff when he's at home. The staff are knowledgeable and really friendly. He's come on leaps and bounds since starting here.

Our daughter is thriving at the nursery. She started when she was only 12 weeks old and she’s just turned 1 the care she gets from all the staff and the fun she has is a credit to the team.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since 2 he is now 4 and he loves it, the manager and staff are amazing they always do 110% for me and my boy, nothing is too much for them. They listen to him and meet all his needs and support me also. My son still gets upset after 2 years of attending and I feel always reassured that I’m leaving him in safe hands. Thanks again couldn’t recommend a better place to leave my child knowing he’s getting looked after as good as I can.

Review from Mays A (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is a home away from home for my little one, and the staff are family to her. The work, care, and dedication they put in is noticeable every day: she comes back happy, energetic, and full of new knowledge. This review is as much a sincere thank you to the wonderful staff who show up every day for my daughter as it is an encouragement for new parents who are yet uncertain about choosing to be reassured that their little one will be much loved here.

My son has been with Bright Horizon since he was about eight months old. He’s four years now and in preschool and I have had no regrets whatsoever.
I want to thank you for all your hard work, patience, love and dedication to the children, helping with potty training, caring when they were not feeling well, making everyday a fun environment to go to which was also very important and most especially doing all you can to get them ready for the main school.

These mean a lot to us and we want to thank all the team for their hard work.
