I had fun doing activities with my daughter. I saw how she is learning and developing through different activities. I am glad to have put her in this nursery. I will definitely bring my younger daughter to this nursery.

I love this nursery. The staff are amazing and patient! I can't recommend this nursery enough! My son's speech has come along so great and he plays well with other children because staff are very encouraging of his development as well as engaging in group activity. I love all the staff here especially two staff members in particular, they always smile when I come pick my son up.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Didsbury Day Nursery and Preschool

Review from Danny K (Father of Child) published on 4 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Bright Horizons Didsbury Day Nursery and Preschool for almost 3 years and my 11-month-old son has just started, so I have grown to know the nursery and staff pretty well in that time.
I honestly can't think of anywhere else I'd rather my kids went. There's a real community feel and warmth to it, from the nursery management to the room workers and the support staff.
Our daughter has thrived since day one. She's confident, well-socialised and a happy child. She's stimulated in new ways daily and often surprises us with new skills, words, insights and knowledge. Of course, whenever I ask her what she's done that day all she says is 'played with my friends' but if her takeaway is that she spent the day playing then I'm happy!
What else to say, Communication is great, there's a balanced menu which changes regularly, there's clear thought and planning that goes into the learning side which is delivered in a fun way, and I'm comfortable leaving my children in their hands.

Well done Bright Horizons.

Review from Hamida Z (Grandmother of Child) published on 27 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have found Bright Horizons Didsbury Day Nursery and Preschool to be an outstanding nursery that is providing my granddaughter with outstanding care. The nursery has a wonderful, pleasant and calm aura. You are treated and greeted on a daily basis with the utmost respect and are made to feel extremely welcome. The care my granddaughter is receiving is over and beyond my expectations, the staff work closely with the families in order to maintain the outstanding care of each and every child in their care. Confirmed by other parents who I am acquainted with, whose children attend the nursery. I must say it is very rare to find such an amazing nursery. For me, it ticked off all the boxes for a high standard of care.
