My son has grown to be a little young boy thanks to the help from the brilliant nursery staff and staff managers. All the staff have had a big hand in shaping his behaviour and attitude.
Great nursery, the staff are kind considerate and do a great job with the kids. It's a safe and warm environment. Great facilities too!
Thank you for making my kids so happy.
The staff are always cheerful with myself and my daughter and have been very patient whilst she went through a rather long and testing 'unsettled' settling in period. She now likes going to nursery!
Kind, caring staff, clean environment, excellent choice of food for little ones, safe and I have noticed the change in my son. He really enjoys himself and that says it all!
Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Our son (who is nearly two) has been there for almost a year and has done fantastically well there. The staff are kind, warm and friendly, and our little boy regularly comes home and says their names happily, followed by "friend" and "good". It's wonderful to know how much he cares for the people looking after him. We're delighted with every aspect of the nursery, the team do a great job.
I can not speak highly enough of the team at Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood. My little girl attends and my little boy has just left to start school and they both loved it from day one. The staff are friendly and nurturing and really care about the children (this was particularly apparent when my little boy was quite seriously ill last year and the love and support we received from this nursery was overwhelming). There is always a friendly face to help with a query and the children are stimulated and encouraged to get ready for school but most importantly they are cared for in a genuine and warm manner and encouraged to have fun. I would have no hesitations in recommending the nursery to anyone - keep up the good work!
My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9 months old. She is now 2 1/2. Both she and I are very happy with the nursery. She has come along leaps and bounds and they are really helping her development by teaching through play. She loves counting and doing her colours. The staff have always been amazing and the manager is lovely.
The environment is clean bright and airy.
My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 8 months old, and she has just turned three. She can sometimes be difficult to settle and dislikes change and new environments: the nursery have been brilliant at managing her changes of room and the staff have been wonderful at building relationships with her. She is very happy here and she astounds me with the things that she can already do - all things she has learnt from being at this nursery. She can already spell her name and can add and subtract simple sums: this blows my mind.
Our family recently had an upsetting few months caused by a serious but not life-threatening illness. The support we have had (myself, my husband and my daughter) from this nursery actually bring tears to my eyes. They have been wonderful at providing flexible care in times of need and supported my daughter through times when she hasn't felt particularly happy. For this, I will always be tremendously grateful. I would never hesitate to recommend.
Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood is a warm, friendly and nurturing nursery with staff who genuinely care about the children, their development and well-being. There is plenty of variety week to week and a focus on outdoor play/sports as well. The pre-school is a busy (and boisterous!) environment where the children seem engaged and very happy.
My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 11 months old. It's a great place and now my daughter is 4 nearly going to school they are teaching her so much and prepping her for school which is fantastic.
Our little boy regularly comes home having learnt new things and shares them! Would definitely recommend Hinchley Wood.
My 3-year-old has been attending for 3 months. He still attends another nursery on 1 day close to his grandparents, so we were concerned about him settling in here- we needn't have. It's a bright, open, friendly place. I'd signed him up to another nursery in Esher but on recommendation looked around here, and was so impressed I signed him up that day. He's very active so vital to find somewhere with large, open rooms and big enough outside areas to run/play freely, which this does. It has the best arranged outside space I'd seen. The down time- children relaxing, reading on cushions after play is so sweet. There are little educational zones around the pre-school room which makes me confident he'll be ready for school when the time comes. Staff are lovely, cheerful and always put him at ease when he arrives. The kitchen smells amazing at all times of the day (!) main meals are amazing and teaching him to be more adventurous with his food. This is a lovely, happy place.
I've never had any complaints about the nursery and would certainly recommend to other parents.
I have two children at Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood and they both love it. The staff are warm, caring people who take great care of all the children. In 18 months I've used the nursery, I've never had any concerns about any element of their care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to my friends.
It is great that they provide outside agency activities e.g Playball but I do feel that this should be provided and included by Bright Horizons themselves, especially at Pre-School age.
This was my daughters first experience of nursery and she has thrived here. In particular, she has made some great relationships with the staff, including the cook! There are always new activities happening and she participates in a wide variety of learning experiences. The staff know all the individual children well, and this is reflected in how happy they all are at the end of the day when they don't want to come home!
My daughter has been attending this nursery for 2.5 yrs now. The staff have always been very caring and have provided a nurturing environment to help her develop and grow in confidence. My one-year-old has also recently started there and again, the staff have been great at helping her settle. They both enjoy the daily activities running at the nursery.
I have sent two children to this nursery over the last 5 years and have always found it a pleasure to sent my children to. The staff are always professional and friendly. There is the right balance of learning and play. The management is always informative and can never do too much to help support and guide both myself and my children. Thanks, Hinchley Wood!!
