Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool

My son being a 'lockdown baby' struggled initially with nursery but the girls have been so good and happy to go at his pace he now enjoys going. He has special dietary requirements due to an allergy and the staff are very knowledgeable and have a strict policy which helps put my mind at rest. The recent addition of the Bright Horizons app has been a godsend. I love it.

I’m extremely thankful that the link club/after school club has now recommenced as this helps me out massively.

What we want from a nursery is for our child to have a smile on his face. Every time we collect him he is grinning ear to ear. The staff are excellent and have maintained high levels of care despite adversity during this Covid period. I really could not recommend Bright Horizons Callands enough.

Lovely nursery, staff always friendly and my child is always happy.

Fantastic nursery with excellent facilities. The staff are so lovely and friendly and are great at communicating at all times. My son has a great relationship with all the staff and his development has improved massively in all aspects in verbal, physical and mentally. I would definitely recommend it.

I can't speak highly enough of the nursery, both my son and daughter attend (baby room and pre-school) and I have no worries leaving them in the amazing care of the fabulous staff. My 3 year old loves going and skips in each day which is a testament to the staff, as she was quite nervous when she first started. The facilities are brilliant, in particular the outdoor space which both my children love exploring. We were worried about my little girl's speech but she's come on leaps and bounds at Callands and again this is down to the work of the fabulous staff. Would highly recommend Callands Bright Horizons to anyone looking for a setting for their little ones, I can't see how you'd be disappointed.

Both my children attend Bright Horizons Callands in the baby room and in pre-school and I would happily recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a nursery place. The staff are brilliant and are so helpful and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. My little girl who's in the preschool room talks nonstop about how much fun she has there and has such a lovely bond with her keyworker, she is so excited each time she goes in, it's great to see. My son recently started in the baby room and the staff are great with him, it's difficult leaving an anxious baby but it's so much easier when you know you're handing him over into a safe and warm environment. I also love the outdoor space that Callands has to offer, there's so much room for each age group to play and lots of activities for them to take part in. Have nothing but positive praise for the nursery !!

Thank you.

I am extremely pleased with how my daughter developed socially and intellectually thanks to attending Callands Nursery. I know children participate in multiple play activities aiming to prepare them for primary school and cherishing their little friendships. They also spend a lot of time exploring the outdoors. Every day there seems to be so much fun!

We used Callands Day Nursery through an emergency childcare benefit we have through work. Due to family isolating, our normal childcare wasn't available and our existing nursery couldn't accommodate with it being so last minute. We submitted a request for a place at Callands and within hours we had the request approved and a call from the manager asking about our requirements. Despite this placement been short term, the manager and her team couldn't have done any more for us and our little girl. They made sure she was welcome from the start, even requesting family photos that they could print for familiarity, and creating a peg space to feel included. All of our requests were followed and we had a full debrief of how our little girl was getting on both on my (multiple!) phone calls throughout the day and also on pick up. Callands sent photos home, crafts and even a leaving card. I would highly recommend Callands to anyone as their care and professionalism was above and beyond!

This nursery has been absolutely amazing to my little boy. It was very hard starting nursery in the middle of the pandemic but they were very understanding to me and my child's needs. The nursery staff were always very friendly when I dropped him off and he now loves going! My son eats absolutely everything in nursery so the food must be great. I personally find it very reassuring that he has such a varied diet while he is there. Sleep was also a huge concern of mine but he sleeps very well there. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! Our little girl started at this nursery when she was 1 year old, she's in preschool now and she loves to be 3. She feels comfortable and enjoys all the activities. I would highly recommend the brilliant staff. They are very kind and helpful. My daughter uses two languages and we get all support from the staff to improve her English. I cannot thank them enough for all that they do!

Staff are always happy to help.

My daughter attended here for one morning as back up care and I can't say thank you enough. All the staff in the room made her feel so welcome, she didn't want to go home! The care they all provided for my daughter was outstanding. I was apprehensive about bringing my child to nursery due to COVID, but the girls couldn't have done enough and the cleanliness was exceptional. Thank you.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Callands since she was 8 months old (she is now 4), and she absolutely adores going to nursery, and has built some lovely bonds with her key workers throughout her attendance. The nursery is super supportive, and I am amazed every single week with what she learns! The food is lovely, and she has no issues eating it all (never have clean plates at home). it really is like a family rather than a ‘nursery’, and I never feel worried when I drop her off.

This is a fantastic nursery. The staff are all so friendly, my daughter loves coming to nursery. She comes home happy every time, full of stories about what she has been up to all day. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

My little boy is in the pre-school, his keyworker always makes lots of effort to tell me what he has learnt in that day. He loves her.

Well managed and maintained. Friendly staff.

The nursery staff are amazing. Nothing is ever too much trouble and that applies to the office staff too. I would highly recommend this nursery.

All good and I'm happy as long as my children are happy. Excellent staff. Five stars.
