Bright Horizons Trafford Day Nursery and Preschool

Both of my daughters attend Bright Horizons, and I honestly can't speak highly enough of the team. The staff go above and beyond to really get to know each child, building warm and meaningful relationships with them. I have complete confidence in everyone at Bright Horizons Trafford and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Cannot fault the staff in the nursery especially the baby room. When my son started nursery at 10 months he really struggled with attachment to his dad and I. Since starting the nursery the staff have been amazing settling him in and now he loves going in and runs in each morning. The support we received has been amazing!

After trying two other nurseries, this one has been the best decision we've made for our son. He's been here for over a year and absolutely loves it. The space is beautiful, bright, and airy, with the freedom to learn both indoors and outdoors. The nurturing approach encourages independence, creativity, and confidence. The staff are amazing-especially his key worker, who has been a huge part of his learning journey. I love that I can settle him in and watch him through the wide glass door. The daily updates and photos via the app are brilliant, and I always get helpful feedback at pickup. They do fun learning activities every day, and the team genuinely listens to parents. My son has grown so much since joining. I'd 100% recommend this nursery-if you're unsure, attend an open day. They explain everything clearly and with real care.

It's a great place for the children to be! They are loved and well taken care off. I can see friendships developing and they're personalities being encouraged and respected. I never felt unsafe leaving my children there and I can see the staff takes parents recommendations in account as well.

The nursery has an app which they update in real-time so you can see what your child has eaten, nappy changes and if they've slept. There have also been instances when my son hasn't been too well and the staff have been good with getting in contact and suggesting the best next steps. I would definitely recommend this nursery and all you'll need to do is pay it a visit to see it for yourself.

Baby room is a lovely and clean room. The staff are welcoming and create a friendly environment for my son. My son enjoys going to nursery and learning. This is all thanks to the girls in the baby room.

The staff are always smiling, friendly and a fantastic support to both children and parents as needed. The activities for the babies are always super imaginative and fun, I have no doubt the babies are enjoying themselves and feel secure in their surroundings.

The way my son has been more chatty since starting here warms my heart because now instead of just chatting to me, he’s more social in general! I love it here.

My child really enjoys nursery as, in the morning, he happily goes into the baby room. He is starting to use more words and is more open to joining into activities at home. He is more independent with his eating. He loves the garden.

Huge thanks to everyone involved in running this nursery and for all that you do to improve my son's early years experiences.

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons Trafford to anyone.

My son has allergies and they are really good at making sure he is safe at dinner time especially.

At collection, we always see our child happily playing.

Have a great outdoor space, provide regular communication updates and my son’s development has been fantastic since attending.

This nursery is very well organised and run. The atmosphere is welcoming and always very clean. Modern facilities with lots of light in the baby room where our child is. The app is very useful for keeping us up to date on how our child's day is going. Parking space for prams also very useful. Large garden area for the kids. Difficult to find any fault. I can't tell what it's like for other rooms but our child started at 6 months and is now 16 months in the baby room.

Our son has been in the baby room since August 2023 and we couldn’t be happier with his time at nursery. He settled really quickly into nursery life and has such lovely relationships with the staff in his room. The nursery is really professionally run and we have never experienced any issues. The staff takes time to offer different activities to the children every day, recently the baby room was turned into a baby spa for example which was great! Our son eats everything they put in front of him and he runs into nursery when we get there. Lots of outdoor play too which we think is great! No hesitation in recommending this nursery to other parents/carers.

Our daughter started at Bright Horizons Trafford Day Nursery and Preschool when she was 1. We really liked the nursery when we visited, feeling reassured how well she would be cared for by the fabulous room lead. The people working in the baby room love those babies! She was rocked to sleep and totally seen as her own little person. Her transition to toddler room was seamless with equally dedicated, caring and fun staff! Moving up to pre-school was well-timed and she loves it. Lots of fab activities, interactions and community with us, as parents. She continues to be valued as an individual. We feel incredibly lucky to have Bright Horizons as our child's early years setting!

Felt safe and secure dropping my child off.

We have two children at Bright Horizons Trafford Day Nursery and Preschool and couldn’t be happier. The staff at every level are really excellent: friendly, caring, patient, conscientious and fun. There have been staff changes while we’ve been there but a core of a really dedicated team, plus consistent management, has meant a consistent experience for the children. The menu is fantastic (far better than school food). The bespoke curriculum follows each child without pushing too hard (e.g. on inappropriate academics in preschool). The outside space would ideally be larger and more “wild” but for a large city nursery, it would be tricky to do much more with that space, which has been heavily invested in in recent years. Previous staff issues were largely, to my understanding, due to Covid rules (problems facing every provider at the time) and do not occur now.

I genuinely feel reassured that she is getting the best care available, she is clearly happy and so are we. The staff are a credit to their profession.
