I have recommended Bright Horizons on a number of occasions - my son has so much fun and has developed leaps and bounds since starting the nursery - the staff in the rooms deserve particular praise for their individual care and support of the children in their care.

Review from Lorena M (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since I met Bright Horizons I loved it, it is very important for me that the daycare be open with families, that I have confidence and fluent communication with parents and guardians. I like that they have a clear educational project and that the different abilities of the children are accommodated.
Another very important thing is that all the staff are very professional and are very polite with the children and the parents. The level of security is excellent in all areas, infrastructure, equipment, furniture and teaching materials are always in very good condition, are safe and according to the needs of children.

I really appreciate they have a qualified chef that prepare fresh food for my boy, also everything looks immaculate, clean always.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the Bright Horizons Cramond nursery for more than 3 years now so he has pretty much grown up there. He is a happy and enthusiastic wee boy and part of that is down to the nature of the nursery. It is a lovely environment where certainly my child has been allowed to blossom.

Overall Experience

We have used Cramond nursery for our two sons from when they turned one year old. The level of care is exceptional and the staff are very good at tuning into the children as individuals and ensuring they feel happy and secure as well as providing activities that they really enjoy. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending the nursery.

Review from Sarah A (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I currently have a 4 1/2 year old at Bright Horizons Cramond. He has been at the nursery since 1 year old as was his older sister. I only have positive things to say about the nursery. The staff are great and both of my children have loved their nursery journeys from the baby rooms right through to preschool. I would say staff are the main reason for this and we as a family will have fond memories of them for a long time.
We have always left our children in the care of nursery staff positive they will be cared for and nurtured.
We have recommended the nursery to friends which is nice to see and hear stories of their younger ones.

Thank you to all the team.

Review from Olu (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My kids attend Bright Horizons Cramond nursery full time, 5 days a week. The youngest started when she was 4 months old. As a result of the ages of my kids, I have had one on one engagement with staff in all the nursery rooms.

The high standard of care and love shown to my kids by the nursery staff has been outstanding. Every member of staff right to the manager and even the chef and non-admin staff are always welcoming and polite.

The nursery rooms are warm for the kids with a lot of indoor activities.

All meals are prepared fresh daily on site by their amazing chef. Their food menu is one of the best that I have seen. Nappies and wipes are also provided.

The staff always provide detailed feedback on each child when I come to pick them up.

Regular reviews are also done to let me know how each child is getting on in terms of developmental milestones and we agree on areas where each child might need more support/encouragement.

The kids are regularly engaged in outdoor activities.

Review from Jordan (Father of Child) published on 13 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery is okay and my child has excelled so far. I believe attitude and feedback from staff could be improved upon as it is of an unsatisfactory/unprofessional standard.

Review from Linda J (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending for three years and very much enjoys her time here. The staff are friendly, helpful and supportive, and have really taken the time to get to know my daughter. The activities are varied and we really appreciate the occasional excursion and walk around the local area - although I'd like these to take place much more regularly.
The menu is excellent and my daughter has gone from being a very fussy eater to enjoying a varied and balanced diet - something also down to the encouragement of those caring for her. I also appreciate the opportunity to give feedback on the menu.

My daughter looks forward to spending time with her friends here. And because she's happy and well cared for, I know I don't have to worry about her wellbeing.

I am very happy with the care my child receives at this nursery. All the meals are freshly prepared on site and included in your fees. Nappies are also now included as well. My son is happy and has settled well in the two different rooms he has been in. There are also additional classes like Jo Jingles and Tatty Bumpkin which you can opt in to. The staff are friendly and approachable too.

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

So far my experience of Cramond Bright Horizons has been very positive. When it's your first experience of a private nursery with your child its hard to know what to expect. initially, my son found it hard to settle in but the staff were very patient and supportive with him and us. There's a good staff to child ratio and relatively small room size for babies which makes me confident he is getting the attention he needs. The food is of a high standard and variety. There is a good selection of activities and plenty of time outside. If I ever have any issues the staff are always very approachable and understanding and take on board my concerns.

Review from Jessica B (Mother of Child) published on 14 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons at Cramond. Both my children have attended the nusery and the latest addition, due in a few months will also be joining. My youngest is still attending in the baby room and it is clear that she enjoys it. There is a great ratio of staff to children and it is obvious the staff love their jobs.

The kids do some brilliant hands-on activities and get to spend a lot of time in the garden. The nursery building feels welcoming and safe. The quality of the food is also a real bonus, it always smells lovely if I pop in to collect near tea time!

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Cramond Early Learning and Childcare since 9 months, she is now four. The nursery has played a huge part in her development and how much she has improved, my daughter has a good relationship with all staff in the nursery who in every room provided fun and educational activities from babies to pre-school. All areas of the nursery are based on the needs of the children with so much more, the nursery and staff always go that little bit further to provide the best quality care for my child.
