Overall Experience

Excellent, caring and super-friendly staff! My daughter has been going to this nursery for two months now and we have been provided with a lot of support and comfort to help her settle in. We get regular updates on her day-to-day activities and can see her personal development at home as well. Would highly recommend this daycare!

Review from Daniel D (Father of Child) published on 23 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would not recommend this nursery to any parents looking for childcare.
The nursery refuses to give us refunds for a period they were closed during lockdown, this figure is over £600 which is an absolute joke. They ignored our emails on this matter for months which was very frustrating and when they finally responded to our follow-up emails they said they would not be refunding us.
The standard of this nursery has declined massively since we started sending our daughters here.
The nursery constantly ask us to bring our child in after 9am even though we pay from 8am due to staff shortages and sometimes we have to wait with our child until the staff arrive for work. This makes us late for work on an daily basis and has been going on for months. There is no offer of refunds or compensation even though we have been missing an hour of nursery almost every day for the last few months now.

There is also a high turnover of staff which isn't great for your child and getting settled.

Review from Khazina W (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son quickly settled into this nursery after he joined from a different setting. The staff listened to any concerns I had about settling him and responded to them promptly. They are always available to answer further questions and always with a smile. I was impressed that they catered for specific dietary requirements and provided halal food for my son. The menu looks very enticing and nutritious. It would be good if they could continue to give detailed feedback of activities kids have engaged in each day and how they have responded to these activities.

Review from Rahma J (Mother of Child) published on 18 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is a second home to both of my children. The staff here is well trained and experienced. The best thing is that they are ready to learn and respond to your child's individual needs. I was highly impressed by the baby rooms staff and the deputy manager responsiveness to my sons learning/settling in journey.
The staff team and group of children also reflect local ethnic and cultural groups+

Fun activities planned each day - which are updated on the apps so we can replicate and discuss with our toddlers at home. Keep up the good work and to the manager, you are doing a wonderful job!! Thank you.

Overall Experience

This is a great nursery with brilliant staff. Our elder son also went here and loved it. Even though they’ve face challenges during the pandemic, they have done everything to ensure the best environment is being provided for the children. The outdoor area is really good too and it’s a good mix of education and play. The staff are all really caring and I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

Overall Experience

As parents, we feel extremely secure and comfortable sending our child to Bright Horizons Trafford. We know that our child is taken care of and loved at the nursery. He has been attending the nursery for a year now and we have seen remarkable progress in his social and linguistic development. He loves all his educators and is always eager to go to nursery.

My daughter is a lockdown baby and we had a quite emotional and stressful settling in process.

The nursery manager has handled the situation impeccably and walked me and my daughter through the process. All the Team of the baby unit is dedicated and professional. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending since April 2021, he has grown in confidence and character since starting nursery. He has a great relationship with his key person and other familiar key staff. He is excited to play and eager to learn. The practitioners follow his interests and support his learning through activities he enjoys doing. There is always a range of activities that he loves to do. The app is great, keeps us well informed of his day.

Overall Experience
My son’s been going to Bright Horizons since he was three months old and I’ve never once had cause to worry about leaving him there. The staff are all fab, and clearly love what they do.
Watching so many happy kids going in and out at pick up/drop off time just emphasises what a great time they’re having there.

It’s great to know I’m leaving my son somewhere so safe and nurturing. And the app means there are regular updates and photos so I can see how much fun he’s having.

Overall Experience

My son started in the baby room a few months ago. I was really nervous about being away from him especially after such an intense year with covid. However, I needn’t have been. The staff have been fantastic, really thoughtful and sensitive to him. He’s settled really well and is so happy at nursery. He gets excited when he sees the nursery building and smiles at the staff when I hand him over. Fortunately, he’s also still happy to see me at the end of that day! We are so pleased to have found such a lovely nursery.

Our boys are so happy at this nursery. The staff go above and beyond for the children and parents, and this has been heightened throughout the pandemic. Bright Horizons is the only nursery I would consider for my children, and the Trafford setting is a wonderful space for them to flourish.

Review from S M C (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter joined Bright Horizons Trafford as lockdown was lifted in June 2020. It was a new setting for her but she settled very quickly - the staff were and are amazing and she is very, very happy there. She has come on so well and loves going to nursery to be with her friends, the nursery toys and to play outside.
The caring is exceptional and the children's development is carefully tracked. The staff are very highly-qualified and have been assiduous with communications during the social distancing period.

We are so grateful to the wonderful team and their extraordinary hard work. They are very committed and do an exceptional job. We can't recommend them highly enough.

Review from Lionel R (Father of Child) published on 19 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is very happy at Bright Horizons which was a massive relief as he struggled to settle in his previous Nursery with a high turnover of staff and was very unhappy. The difference between the nurseries is dramatic and from the start, we got the confidence that his needs would be addressed and there was a plan based on him. With the key element that Bright Horizons seemed to care and deal with my son as an individual and not just as another child.

The support has been great with regards to keeping a detailed report of what my son is doing and milestones for what we aiming to do next. There is constant communication so everyone is working towards the same goal. I think as an overall point we are so happy we have found a place that cares which is the most important thing for us. We can't speak highly enough about the staff at Bright Horizons and only wish we would have come across it earlier.
