Review from Holly W (Mother of Child) published on 17 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have two children at this nursery, in different rooms, and we are very happy with the care they receive and we would recommend Bright Horizons to other parents. It is reassuring to know that our children are safe and looked after when at nursery. The staff are caring and nurturing and the nursery as a whole feels like a supportive environment. Our children have really positive relationships with their key workers and also the wider nursery staff, all of whom are enthusiastic and kind and help the children to enjoy nursery. There is excellent communication between staff and parents, we feel we are kept in the loop regarding our childrens progress and what they get up to at nursery, we feel like we receive a personalised approach.

Review from M P (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending toddlers for around 9 months. I cannot fault the care, attention and expertise of the staff.

Our daughter loves the nursery and quickly settled in. All staff take a real interest in the children from their wellbeing, to development and ensuring they personalise the experience. Communication with parents ins excellent and we feel confident to contact the nursery with any concerns. Key workers are so supportive and work in partnership with parents. The nursery has far exceeded my expectations.

Our first child died as an infant and so we were really worried about sending our daughter to nursery but they have been so compassionate and caring. We quickly felt confident with our daughter in their care which we didn't expect. I can't fault them

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Millhouses Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased your daughter has settled well and is enjoying her time with us. It's wonderful to hear you feel supported and confident in her care.

My daughter has been in the baby's room for nearly a year and is due to transition to toddlers shortly. The staff are kind, caring and supportive. The range of activities are excellent and has really developed my child's physical abilities and speech. We're vegetarian and her dietary requirements are fully catered for. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Both my kids have attended Bright Horizons and they absolutely love it there. The key workers in each room go above and beyond for all children. They have so many activities to play with and the main attraction for me was the large outdoor space and how they have freedom to go outside all the time. My only issue comes to holidays and time off for children. All children and adults need holidays and when you still have to pay for the days at nursery, it becomes very expensive to go on holiday.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, Campaigns & Digital Marketing Executive at Bright Horizons Millhouses Day Nursery and Preschool
Hello, I'm thrilled to hear that both of your children love their time at Bright Horizons – it's wonderful that they enjoy the many activities and the large outdoor space.

I understand your concern about the holiday policy, and it's a valid point. Balancing the need for holidays with the...

Overall Experience

Both my boys have been at this nursery, one is now at school but I still have one in the baby room. I cannot fault the staff, so friendly and caring. I have loved watching both my boys develop and come on leaps and bounds at the nursery. The menu is varied and has good healthy food, they never seem to run out of activities to do - the way my son's face lights up as he gets to nursery says a lot.

I am really happy with the choice I have made to bring my son to this nursery, they have got a lot of experience, are very kind, very helpful. We started in the toddler room 2 years ago and we are in preschool now which is still amazing, I leave my son there as I know he is in good hands and well looked after! Thank you Bright Horizons, all the brilliant staff and the exceptional manager!

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons for 18 months (six months to two years old) and has loved every second! We're moving away from the area so unfortunately having to pull her out.

She has made so many friends and we can't compliment the staff enough. They've supported her and us through this stage of her development, kept constant communication and updates of her progress. I fully believe that she's made incredible progress simply due to the quality of care and attention she's received from this nursery! Thanks everyone!

Overall Experience

I have a child in the baby room and in the pre-school room and have been nothing but impressed by both. We relocated to Sheffield recently, so the prospect of nursery settling for both children, was causing me a lot of anxiety, but it needn’t have. All the staff are so professional, approachable and hardworking and my children are very happy. Highly recommend!

Review from Laura A (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Millhouses is a brilliant nursery. The staff are excellent, they have a great rapport with both my children. The days are filled with an excellent variety of activities appropriate to the age and development of the child. Every child has a key person and co-key person who is your main point of contact and understands and can relay to parents what specifically they are working on with your child. I think this is great for all ages, especially at preschool and Bright Horizons do it very well. The building itself is bright and airy and has a lovely feel to it. The nursery has thorough policies and procedures in place so I'm 100% confident my children are safe whilst they are there. The food is excellent, healthy and tasty. They have dealt with Covid-19 restrictions very well and do their best to keep parents informed through these ever-changing times! The nursery is already very good and I think they're always looking at ways to improve. I highly recommend it.

Review from Imogen R (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little girl joined the nursery mid lockdown, I was a little apprehensive at first because of coronavirus, but the staff put my mind at ease explaining the cleaning routine of the baby room. We go for 2 half days a week and she loves it, I especially like that when our little girl goes she has the same key workers every time which is a really nice for her to see someone she recognises. At the end of every afternoon, we get a little report of what she has eaten, if she has napped and if she has had a nappy change. I personally love this.

At first, I honestly thought it was a little expensive for the service you are receiving, it’s not too bad.

Review from Éva B (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is such a great nursery! After my kids went through two other nurseries and I was never especially happy with them, I can honestly say I have never had an issue or a niggle in the last year and a half my son has attended. The staff are always smiling and welcoming and give great feedback and detail about my son’s day. He loves all the activities on offer and the planned activities are obviously carefully thought through and linked to the children’s interests. My son adores his key worker and the other staff and has been happy to go in every single time, and he runs out full of enthusiasm at pick up. They have dealt amazingly with all the Covid craziness and I feel completely comfortable sending my son. I would highly recommend this nursery, especially if you have very high expectations (like me!). They go the extra mile to develop relationships and communicate well with their children’s families. Thank you Bright Horizons Millhouses!
