Review from S T (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bright Horizons Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool is an incredible nursery and preschool. Both my children attend and love their time there. The provision is excellent, with so many opportunities to learn and develop through play and engaging activities. All staff, at every level, are approachable, knowledgeable and wonderful with the children. My eldest is currently in the preschool and the teachers have played a huge role in getting her school-ready, she has made huge progress in literacy and numeracy and everyday life skills too. The environment they have created is welcoming and engaging, including a forest school area which the children love. My youngest is in the baby unit and the staff there have helped him to settle in seamlessly, I am confident that he is happy there and we are kept updated throughout the day via the app.

I know my eldest will be sad to leave when she goes to primary school but will have had the best foundation in preparation for school thanks to Bright Horizons.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Bright Horizons Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool for four years and it has been a brilliant experience since day one. Every staff member is caring, kind, works to a high standard and treats your child as if it was their own. I cannot fault this nursery. Located in a beautiful building with outdoor space, it has a family feel which has suited our son. He has thrived here and we will all be sad to see him leave when he goes to school!

A fantastic nursery which has provided an environment for our daughter to thrive. All of the staff are a credit to Bright Horizons Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool, with strong bonds formed with the teams in each class/age group.

The app is a great tool also to keep us updated with activities throughout the week.

Review from J T (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been so pleased with Bright Horizons Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool. All of the staff have been absolutely wonderful - they’ve built great relationships with our children and we always feel that they take the time to genuinely update us at the end of each day. Our eldest daughter has now graduated nursery but collecting her younger brother is a highlight as she gets to say hello to the staff who took great care of her during her time there.
The nursery is excellent at supporting the children through the curriculum, helping their learning and development. We deeply value the updates they provide around our child’s development, as well as offering the opportunity for an in-person chat. The effort that goes into the breadth of activities available and the creativity to spark children’s curiosity flows throughout the nursery - the fairy garden, bug house, vegetable patch and forrest school are only a few examples.

Clairmont is a wonderful setting, we couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery for our children.

Review from G L (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We’ve been so impressed with this nursery. They care about our child’s welfare and development. The staff are so knowledgable and caring. All staff are brilliant and the activities have brought our son out of his shell. The food menu is varied and includes everything our child could possibly need nutritionally, he seems to eat most things given at nursery which is amazing. The app is so handy and makes things a lot easier, other friends with children at other nurseries don’t have the app which provides live information and pictures about your child’s day. You can also communicate through the app with your child’s key worker. The outdoor play is beneficial and you can tell everything has been so well thought out. Pleased with our child’s transition into nursery life here at Clairmont and were happy we chose to put our child in their care.

Review from Steven R (Father of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending the nursery since January 2024.
It has been great to see his progress and development in this time. From crying when he first arrived, to now running into the nursery is a pleasure to see.
The staff are all caring, genuine, friendly people and you feel reassured to know they will be looking after your child.
There are plenty of toys for the children and the staff interact well with them and play games etc. They also have a forest school. From the pictures the staff take and put onto the app (only for the families of the children, they aren’t on a public app) you can see how the children enjoy it.

Looking at the food which the children are given, I’d be happy to be offered a menu like that.

Overall Experience

Our 2-year-old is absolutely thriving at Clairmont! He’s happy to go to nursery every day, and we can really see improvements in his speech/overall language skills. The staff that we have dealt with so far in the baby and toddler unit have been lovely and always take the time to speak to you at the end of each day to let you know how your child has been throughout the day. Despite being part of a large corporation, Clairmont really has a family feel to it and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to send their child to a nursery in the area.

Overall Experience

This nursery has been nothing short of outstanding for my little boy. The staff go above and beyond to care for, nurture and educate every child. The professional yet personable approach with parents is exceptional. I particularly love the intergenerational and ethnically diverse workforce. The facilities and food are also fantastic. We will be very sorry to say goodbye when our little one goes to school!

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We’ve had an excellent service from Bright Horizons Clairmont. Initially, I was really worried about my daughter not settling in and being quite selective on who she would settle with and they did a great job of making me and her comfortable and she now toddles in without looking back everyday. She’s well looked after and well fed and her development is coming on fantastically. They’re also great at looking after her when she isn’t feeling 100% and unlike others I’ve heard of I have yet to receive a call to come and bring her home despite her teething and having the regular nursery bugs. The app updates are really helpful and all the staff have been lovely.

We have been to feel so welcome and every morning there is someone to welcome us at the door.

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons Clairmont.

Review from Kavita G (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The setting is beautiful, toys and equipment are to kept to a high standard, but it is the staff that make this nursery. A genuine warmth gives us comfort knowing that they take time to really get to know the personality and needs of each individual child. Each room transition is done with care and kindness, while also providing reassurance for parents.
The app is a welcome and efficient way to communicate with staff and see what your child is up to, but is also nice to know staff are at the end of the phone too!
The daily activities are always engaging and creative, such as ‘Glasto-baby’, Halloween patches, forest school, yoga! We really enjoy the story of the month, as it’s something we can reiterate at home. We particularly appreciate the diversity that is celebrated here; Diwali, Chinese New Year, Burns Night, sparking something new to talk about each day.

Bright Horizons, Clairmont encourages independent thinkers, confidence and relationship building; our daughter is thriving at Bright Horizons!

Overall Experience

As an early-years specialist teacher, I am so impressed by the quality and breadth of experiences provided by the staff at Clairmont. The management and staff so obviously care for all of the children and watching them interact with each other are just lovely. Both of my children have attended Clairmont and it will always be the nursery I recommend to anyone. My daughter absolutely loves it and transitions between rooms have been managed seamlessly. The way the environment inside and outside is set out is thoughtful and inviting and I always feel so positive about dropping her off every morning. Her development has without a doubt thrived due to the support of all the staff here.

Overall Experience

My little boy started in the baby room and is currently in Rising three’s. The staff are all very welcoming and reassuring. The nursery provides various activities which my son loves to take part in. I love seeing his development grow as he continues his journey with Bright Horizons, Clairmont. I recently attended the Mother’s Day afternoon which we both loved. It was great to experience watching my son in his environment talking to his friends and having me there to show me around. Overall, I am so pleased with the progress my son has made since joining and he will hopefully continue here and move into the preschool.

Overall Experience
My little boy has attended Bright Horizons Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 9 months old and is now thriving in toddlers.
Leaving your child in nursery can be so daunting, however, we have always felt really comfortable that the care, kindness and fun our little one has there is second to none!
The staff are fabulous and a real asset to the nursery. They have always all taken the time to learn his little ways and supported him to develop into the chatty, independent and happy little boy he is. We love listening to him chat about all his friends and his key workers (who he adores) at pick-up.
As parents, we are kept up to date with his day via the app and the team takes the time to share pictures of their adventures during the day. The activities they do are very varied and we often get invited to special events like Christmas parties, Mother's Day crafts and summer festivals!

We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and would reccomend to anyone looking for a great start for their little one!

I can’t recommend this nursery enough. My eldest daughter, now in Y2 at school, went here from being a baby through to pre school and now my youngest daughter (currently in pre school but has been attending since she was a baby). The staff are so caring and attentive, the management are amazing, communication is excellent, the children get lovely home cooked food and they do such fantastic activities with the children. They’re so good at preparing the children for school, both from an educational perspective as well as from a confidence/independence perspective. It’s 5 stars from us.

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons, Clairmont, enough! The staff are so caring, attentive and proactive. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds and asks every day if she’s going to nursery in the hopes she will. Her speech has gone through the roof in the last few weeks as has her awareness of everything around her and her inquisitive nature. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you all for being such an amazing provider. I can’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else! Thank you all!

Bright Horizons, Clairmont is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has attended for the past three years and now my son has joined too. They both love going to nursery and have progressed amazingly thanks to the nurturing, caring and attentive staff. Their focus on development is second to none and I am continually impressed by the activities they provide for the children. The setting is also lovely, with lots of outdoor space, which is very well-used! I feel the staff really know and understand both of my children and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery.
