Review from Lee G (Father of Child) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have had three children come through this nursery and have always had a good experience. We feel that consistency of staff through the years has helped us a great deal. Staff have helped us as a family over the years through difficult times and thank you all. We have never had any doubts about the children here and they have all developed on their journey.

Overall Experience

Both of our children have attended Bright Horizons Callands. We have always been very happy with the level of care and attention our girls have received. The facilities available are excellent, in particular, the outside area is excellent. The staff have always had our utmost trust and we would recommend the nursery to others. In fact, family friends now attend the nursery on our recommendation.

Overall Experience

My son has been very well cared for at preschool. He struggled to settle in initially and the staff went out of their way to make him feel secure and happy. He has had lots of fun during his time in preschool and I'm certain he will miss everyone when he leaves in September.

Review from H F (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Bright Horizons has been outstanding in settling my daughters into the preschool environment. After a negative experience at a previous nursery, I brought my girls to Bright Horizons. From speaking to the manageress, I knew that my girls would settle in fine and I wasn't wrong. All the staff have been amazing, not only for my girls but for myself too. Communication has been excellent and the experience has been nothing but positive. I wish they could stay beyond preschool. Thank you.

Review from H S (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Overall, the service provided over the last three years has been good, however, still very expensive compared to other local nurseries. My daughter enjoys attending and learning and her development needs are managed with a wide range of fun activities. Communication between staff in relation to child's care needs is something which needs to be improved and when a care plan is put in place, it needs to be followed by all staff and for more than a couple of weeks.

Come to spend the morning with my son and see how he is progressing. It's lovely to see him interact with his friends and watch his development. The nursery is well laid out with plenty of activities to keep him occupied and grow each day.

We have found the nursery to be a very safe and welcoming place for us and our son.
All of the staff are friendly and genuinely care about the children. We are kept well informed about his development and what he is learning about and I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Also, it's really clean.

Review from Jowita D (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
When I chose this nursery, I was wondering about my son and how he would manage in a new place. After a few weeks, he was absolutely fantastic. The place is lovely, friendly for the kids and parents, kids can learn new things and develop skills. Ladies in the nursery are very friendly, nice, kind and patient. I always got a phone call when my son had an accident. They explained everything, described my son's day, what he did or how he behaved.

I highly recommend this nursery. I could not choose a better place for my son.

I moved my child from a nursery I wasn't happy with (this has since been shut down).

I couldn't have chosen a better nursery to change her to. The staff are fantastic, it's very clean and my daughter is coming along a treat.

Review from Deborah A (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Friendly staff members who seem interested in both children and their family members and make the effort to get to know them, making this nursery a very welcoming place.
Staff members seem dedicated and happy.
So helpful that the nursery is open the majority of the year and that reasonable common sense is used to determine whether children are well enough to be in nursery or need to be at home.
Great progress is seen in our child’s development socially and academically and he has settled in well, enjoying his days there.

I would like to know more about day to day activities and learning written on daily info sheet for parents - this can be quite basic at the moment.

Reply from Katherine O'Brien, at Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your kind review.

I have fed back your comments to the Nursery Manager to ensure feedback is looked into in further detail.

Kind Regards,

Katherine.

We came along to the teddy bear picnic with our daughter, was an amazing afternoon. The staff were all amazing and made sure all the kids had what they needed and nothing was too much trouble and every child was included. My daughter feels really comfortable with all the staff and really loves coming to nursery.

My granddaughter has been at Bright Horizons for 6 weeks. We were invited to an open day and was impressed from the start. She has settled in really well. All the staff are very open and friendly and nothing seems too much trouble for them.

Looking forward to sharing her journey from babies to preschool.

Review from Dale H (Father of Child) published on 30 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

On our visit to Bright Horizons Callands, we were greeted by a room full of happy children all learning in a very engaging early years environment. The staff were all helping to facilitate the children's learning and kept a watchful eye while the children independently explored the learning environment. All of the staff are very helpful and develop excellent relationships with the children. My 1-year-old son loves this nursery and I am glad we chose to place him here.

My little girl loves coming so much I cannot believe how much she has settled in. She has a very fun-filled day and we love the art she brings home, her development has come on so much in the 5 months she has been with you. I also could not ask for someone better to look after her. Thanks xxx.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has just graduated since being at Callands from 16 months old. I can't praise the staff highly enough. Her journey is something that we will all look back on with fond memories. She has been given care and support throughout but mostly we feel that she has grown confident and into a wonderful little girl, thanks to this amazing group of people.
