We could not be happier with Bright Horizons on Luton Road. Our elder daughter was here for two years, and our younger daughter started here last year. Both have loved their time here. Excellent all round.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that both of your daughters have loved their time with us and that your experience has been so positive throughout. Your continued trust means a great deal to the team at Luton Road, and we truly appreciate your kind words.
We would definitely recommend Bright Horizons Luton Road - having had our first child at the nursery, we moved away and returned to find that a number of the staff were still there and even had their own children at the nursery (which personally fills me with confidence). I feel confident in the leadership of the nursery and our son loves the team members in his room and comes back buzzing after a day at nursery. We would recommend this nursery to others.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how positive your experience has been and how happy, safe and excited your daughter feels at nursery. It's great to know you value the environment, outdoor space, varied activities and daily communication, as well as the care...
All the staff are friendly, helpful and warm. Ellen and Rose, the management team are faultless, we couldn't ask for more. I feel so lucky to have had such a smooth start to our nursery experience, and I'm so grateful to all the staff Luton Road for taking such good care of our little one. I have complete faith in the team looking after our daughter and have had no concerns at all.
It's a lovely building, a great location, always seems clean and well equipped. Food is nutritious and our daughter sesame eats better at nursery than she does at home! She does loads of fun activities at Nursery like playing with sand and Play-Doh, which is great because there's no way I'd be cleaning that up at home!
Nursery has been a truly fantastic experience for the whole family so far, and I'm so grateful to the team at Luton Road for making it happen!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and how much she's thriving with us. It's wonderful to know you've felt so confident and reassured by the care provided, and that you value the environment, activities and nutritious meals on...

Would highly recommend!
We absolutely love this nursery! Both of my children have been here for a long time and they just adore it. The staff are fantastic, the management is supportive, and the learning environment is excellent. My children have become much more confident and is always eager to learn. The nursery is welcoming, open, and nurturing - we couldn't recommend it more!
My son has been going for just over a year and has been in 3 different classes. He has learnt so much from the team in each class and the bond that he has with every member of the team in all areas is so special to see.
We've seen such a positive change in his confidence and development and he loves being there.
Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed, reassured and I know any questions I have or help I need the team will be happy to help.
Thank you to the bright Horizons Luton Road team for giving my son such a positive start!
We've just settled our second child at Bright Horizons Luton Road after our eldest graduated from Preschool. Our little girl had a very wobbly start as she found leaving me very upsetting. The toddler team helped us through it, with as many settling sessions as we needed and lots of updates during the settling days. She now absolutely loves it and we are greeted with big smiles and lots of brilliant stories of all the activities she's been up to.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad the toddler team could support your little one through her settling-in journey. It's lovely to hear she's now thriving and enjoying her days at her nursery.
This nursery truly feels like a home away from home for our children. The staff are so caring, attentive and enjoy spending time with the children. Ellen, Rose and the whole management team are fantastic: knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help with any questions or challenges. At the end of each day our little ones come home happy and we love hearing about the fun and engaging activities they've done. We couldn't be more grateful for the nurturing environment and the positive impact the nursery has had on their confidence and development.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased your children feel at home and are thriving here. The team will be delighted to hear your lovely comments.
Hurrah for Bright Horizons Luton Road! It never fails to amaze me the creative way they teach my son such cool stuff. I often drop off late and collect early and the children always look so engaged and happy. The food looks delicious and my son is always disappointed if he misses tea. The outdoor space is great, although I could do with less sand in his shoes! Above all, the staff are lovely and encouraging, both of my son and of me, as I figure out this whole parenting adventure.
We're delighted to hear your kind words about Bright Horizons Luton Road! It's lovely to know your child feels happy and secure with us.
Amazing nursery! Sent my son in from 12 months and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so welcoming and warm. I could not be leaving him in better hands. The activities they do are wide ranging, educational and incredibly fun! The food is nutritious and facilities excellent. Would highly recommend
We're delighted to hear your feedback. It's wonderful to know your child enjoys the activities and care - thank you for your recommendation.
Great preschool with amazing staff. My daughter has come a long way emotionally and developmentally since starting here. The staff are attentive to her needs and I feel comfortable that she is in safe hands. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so pleased to hear your daughter has grown emotionally and developmentally. Thank you for your recommendation.
My 2.5-year-old daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly eighteen months and we have found the care and management to be excellent. The staff are very understanding and clearly love the kids, my daughter will remain here until she starts school.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
Our daughter has attended Bright Horizons Luton Road for the last 2 and a half years. We have always been confident about the great care she is receiving, the staff are warm, personable and engaging with the children and parents alike. We have always felt the staff and managers have the best interests of the children at heart. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the nursery to others.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled your daughter has received great care at Bright Horizons Luton Road. Thank you for your recommendation.
Wonderful team taking great care of our little one. Giving her individual attention while also integrating her into the group. In the hands of the team, we are confident our little one is getting the best care and growth and learning opportunities.
We're delighted to hear that your son feels comfortable and happy at preschool! Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
This is a lovely nursery. Above all the staff genuinely care about the children, whose days are safe, varied, educational and fun. We have 2 children at the nursery, at either end of the age range, and both love going there. Nurseries are very expensive right now and the 15 free hours don’t make a huge difference. However, I have no hesitation in recommending Bright Horizons Harpenden Luton Road.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your children enjoy their time at Bright Horizons Harpenden Luton Road. Thank you for your recommendation!
The team are one of a kind, so caring and helpful. They have a wonderful bond with our twins who take part in fun and creative activities every day. The outside space is great and provides the most amenities of all the nurseries in Harpenden. We are provided with regular daily updates and pictures, as well as progress and development reports. We couldn’t recommend them more!
Hello, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the team. Thank you for your recommendation!
Both my children, aged two and one, have recently started at Bright Horizons, and the staff have gone above and beyond to help settle them in so well. Both children have developed great relationships with the staff already and love going to the nursery. I would highly recommend.
Hello, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the team.
