Review from Mel J (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter loves Bright Horizons Didsbury.
She has an amazing relationship with her key worker as well as all the other staff in the nursery. I get great updates from the staff about what she has been up to as well as a comprehensive report about her development.
The nursery has gone over and above to help us with potty training, and we wouldn't have got to where we have without their involvement.

Highly recommend.

Review from Kate L (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending this nursery since about 6 months old and every stage has been fantastic and he loves it. All the staff are so welcoming. More specifically throughout the pandemic, they have been outstanding in their support for parents, children and their resilience. They must have acted with the utmost level of caution and cleanliness as minimal disruption or covid cases. Yet keeping a friendly and social environment for kids to help with some level of normality in these awful times. Along with the updates and understanding emotionally and financially for parents. We can't thank you enough.

I am very grateful for the brilliant staff of Bright Horizons Didsbury nursery and pre-school for looking after my child since she was 1.5 years old. The staff are so caring, gentle and engaging that every morning I feel very happy to take my child there. My husband and I are very appreciative to all members of the staff.

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl started nursery in August 2020, so we weren’t able to settle her in the room and had to drop her at the door. The staff were so wonderful with her, it made a difficult situation easy as it was clear that my daughter was comfortable and happy to see the staff. The staff were really supportive and understanding for us as parents too.
The staff are always really friendly and knowledgeable about the day - from what she’s eaten to how long she’s slept to whether she’s been grumpy or had a dance! I’ve seen her walking come on loads and her social skills have been great! She is also sleeping much better through the night which is priceless!

In terms of Covid, we have been getting regular written communication of any updates. The staff clearly take the situation seriously with PPE and social distancing. It has been so reassuring to know we are in safe hands. I’ve been so impressed and would recommend to any of my friends or family.

Overall Experience

We’ve been using the nursery for 3 years and currently use the baby 2 room and preschool. We are so impressed with the standard of care and education our children are continuing to receive despite the current circumstances. We love that they learn Spanish and are encouraged to learn and play in a safe environment.

The manager and staff understand the importance of parents having peace of mind and I was shown around the rooms with care and lots of explanations of how things are run. The staff and management have been exceptional and my kids have been very happy to go in each day.

Review from A J (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery for 3 years and he's loved every single day of it. All the staff have been loving and welcoming and invest time in speaking to you at the end of the day. I've visited a number of nurseries but Bright Horizons Didsbury, by far, were the ones who had the best facilities and friendliest staff. They've always resolved any worries I've had. I also enrolled my youngest who, surprisingly, settled in so well even though he's usually very attached to me. Amazing fresh food prepared too.

Review from N H (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have 2 children at Bright Horizons, one in baby 1 and one in toddler green. Both rooms are fantastic and both children are so happy and have so much fun. The staff are great and I cannot thank them enough for their patience and kindness to both our children (and to me and my husband too). Our elder child came home singing in Spanish last week - I am so impressed (she at 2 knows more Spanish than both parents!). Thank you so much to you all.

Review from R K (Father of Child) published on 14 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My son has spent 18 months in the nursery and has grown into a child, who was initially shy and intimidated by crowds, to a social and friendly person with friends. Every staff at the nursery has been so friendly, loving and welcoming to my son that he looks forward to the nursery every morning. Eats what is served to being so engaged and active the whole day at the nursery.

Thank you Bright Horizons Didsbury for being so wonderful.

Overall Experience

We love the friendly staff who give us confidence our son is in a loving environment. All of the games and activities are fun, engaging and educational. We are confident our son can grow and develop to his full potential. We would like updates and photos via an app instead of the traditional paper reports. The report's contents are, however, excellent so we can still track his progress.

My son attends the baby room every morning and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The staff are amazing. They all know what they are doing and my son has grown so much in every area since being there. He enjoys going to nursery and is always happy when I go to pick him up. The staff are friendly and give lots of feedback each day.
