Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My little girl is happy here and has a great relationship with all the staff. The staff made her transition to a new room easier and comfortable. When she had her accident last year the staff looked after her and me throughout the day to ensure she was well. The communication between parents and staff is good and my little girl enjoys the activities which take place.

My son has attended nursery for over 8 years. We have always had great relationships with all the staff. The staff are very caring and always make my son welcome. My son enjoys nursery and has made many friends over the years. I would highly recommend this nursery as all the staff are very kind and caring.

Overall Experience
Callands is an amazing place. My son gets very excited when we drop him off and stalls when he's leaving. Enthusiastic staff fill me with confidence.

Fantastic activities to learn, play and explore. Overall, I feel happy and secure leaving my child and would definitely recommend to other parents. 10/10.

Review from Alexandra D (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We are so pleased with the nursery. Our son has been going since he was 16 months old (now 2 years 3 months) and he has enjoyed it since day 1. He started in the babies room, where we noticed he came on a great deal in terms of his development and social skills. He moved to toddlers on his 2nd birthday and all the staff made his transition so easy. I recently started back at work full time and it made it so much easier knowing that increasing my son's nursery days wouldn't be an issue.

Review from Stacey M (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When my daughter was enrolled at nursery I was so anxious as she was my first and I was struggling to leave her. The team were so fantastic and always made me feel at ease, I can ring anytime to see how she is doing. My daughter loves it at nursery and always seems to be doing different activities. She even cries sometimes when she has to leave. She always seems so happy at nursery and I can see her grow from strength to strength from what she is learning. All the staff are fantastic and appear to go above and beyond. I can't praise everyone enough. I think the nursery and staff are second to none. My daughter loves it.

Review from Tom N (Father of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have two children in the nursery who have progressed through the babies room, toddlers room and Pre School. The regular staff are excellent and the kids have always made strong bonds with them in each room which is very reassuring and their development has been well supported throughout.

The nursery is purpose built and by far the best equipped in West Warrington, the outside play areas are fantastic! The ongoing refurbishments will only add to what is already an excellent site.

Overall Experience
Really friendly attentive staff. My little boy loves the staff and looks very comfortable with them. He's been going from 9 months of age. They have helped him learn to walk, talk and eat, give me good advise for some behaviour problems.

They genuinely seem caring towards my little boy, myself and my husband who do pick up and drop offs. He’s fed nutritious food daily and given milk whenever he wants it.

Review from Neil W (Father of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Looking for a nursery to enrol our daughter in, we read reviews of several nurseries and we are extremely happy with Bright Horizons Callands.
My daughter has bonded very well with the assistants in the toddler room and thoroughly enjoys her time there.
They are very attentive, professional, very welcoming and friendly and spend time individually with the children to help their learning, development and skills.

The nursery always ensures that my daughter is safe and well and provides great feedback on her afternoons there and what she has been doing, as well as working with us to understand what our daughter enjoys at home so they can find something she enjoys so she is as happy and comfortable as possible in nursery. I am confident my daughter is in an excellent nursery to prepare her for preschool and ultimately primary school.

Review from Sian E (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can’t recommend this nursery enough. From the different activities, they plan for the children at all age groups, to the flexibility of putting our child in for extra days (even at last minute).
They follow any instructions you give them without question as the relationship the staff build with parents makes you feel comfortable when approaching them.
The staff are a credit to the nursery and even staff in different age rooms are willing to help you if you need their help.

Very clean and maintained nursery who are currently undergoing a refit to enhance the children’s daily fun.

Review from Hannah V (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has settled in very well and is extremely happy! She loves all the staff in her room and they always make the effort to say hello and have a chat with you. I cannot thank them enough for how well they look after her, as I was very concerned due to a bad experience with a past nursery. I don't worry at all when I leave her and she is learning so much! She is not a fussy eater and I believe this is partly to do with the menu at the nursery.

Review from Lewis C (Father of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We looked at various nurseries around the Warrington area and Bright Horizons, Callands was the stand out by a mile. They made us feel welcome and at ease for our little boy. Since then, our boy has been attending the nursery for 4 months and he loves it. They are very good in tailoring their care to each child's needs and make a real, conscious effort to understand the children's characters. They go above and beyond in their care for not only my son, but others also. The parents that I speak to at the nursery cannot speak highly enough of them. In addition to this, you can physically see how the nursery's activities have aided my child's development. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to parents who are looking for a nursery around the Warrington area.

Overall Experience
Please do not hesitate to use the nursery, the girls are amazing and so welcoming. I was in tears when first looking around. The girls were fantastic and put up with my phone calls every day. This only lasted a couple of days as I felt so at ease leaving him. And loved our chats at the end of the day. He came on leaps and bounds and is a really happy well rounded little boy

A big thank you.

Overall Experience

I couldn't recommend the staff or nursery enough. Every day I know my son is going to a safe, fun and interesting environment. Nutrionally his needs are met and often interesting new flavours are introduced to help him develop. I'm confident that every day he'll come home having been well cared for.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Callands day Nursery was the first nursery that I looked around. Instantly I felt at ease the manager was friendly and happy to answer all of my many questions. Everyone really has the children's best interests at heart. My daughter has settled so very well better than I could have hoped and it is down to all the lovely ladies that work there. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

Review from Sinan A (Father of Child) published on 12 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Feels safe place. My child is almost always happy. The staff are very friendly, compassionate and caring

Few things need improving. Children need more privacy in the toilets. I also think there is a big room to expand on teaching and preparing the child to enter the school. I would love formal and structured handover from the staff when parents collecting their kids.

Review from Kelly H (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would rate the nursery highly. My eldest son attended the nursery from 10 months old until 4 years old and I currently have my youngest son there. I find all staff members friendly and supportive to the children. Any concerns I have ever had my son's key worker has always been there to talk to, along with the management team.

I feel my son has progressed through out his time at the nursery making new friends and continually learning in each key stage.
