Review from Portia C (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Court Oak for 16 months and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so friendly and comforting. Singing songs and playing games all day. He has recently moved up rooms which I was concerned about but they are managing his move at his pace with regular settles and stories and cuddles to make him feel welcome in his new space.
Each group has their own garden space that is suitable for the age range within that group so no group has to stay inside on a nice day allowing for fresh air most days.
They have a chef on site making fresh food every day. He prepares a variety of healthy meals and snacks which is my son eats majority, quite often going for seconds!
I've spoken with management on more than one occasion and they are always kind, understanding and happy to help in any way we need.
Cannot recommend enough!

Thank you Court Oak for giving my son all of your care and expertise!

Overall Experience

My child started in September and has loved being in pre school. He settled in well and had many settling In sessions that never felt rushed. The pre school room is big and welcoming. He loves the gardens and outdoor spaces. This was a winner for us as he's very outdoorsy. The staff and management are caring, friendly and helpful.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Court Oak Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear your child settled in well and has loved preschool, especially our outdoor spaces. It's wonderful to know the settling in sessions, environment, and support from our team made such a positive experience for you both.

Overall Experience
I attend an Easter event for the pre school group all the children and their families were fully entertained the staff took time to make sure everyone was included paying special attention to the children that did not have family at the event.
The whole thing was well thought out with plenty of things for the children and adults to enjoy together.
Overall my experience with courtoak nursery has been very positive they go above and beyond to make all children feel welcome and I have a child with SEND needs that has made fantastic progress in the nursery i could not be happier
So thanks for all the support.

I have already encouraged others to enrol.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Court Oak Day Nursery and Preschool

Overall Experience

My child absolutely loves the nursery and has thrived with each stage of her early years. She loves all the staff and has a real connection with them, she has no problem being dropped off and the nursery has been supported at every stage including with potty training which took a while to get through.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Court Oak Day Nursery and Preschool

Review from Tejal P (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My first child started at this nursery about 18 months ago and I can honestly say, this was the best decision I could have made in regards to selecting a perfect educational placement for him. The staff has been outstanding; from ensuring that my child is fed and watered, to ensuring that he is given absolutely every opportunity to grow and flourish. Management changed over in July 22 and this has had a significant positive impact on the overall day-to-day running and management of the nursery altogether. The new ideas put into place such as the training workshops ie potty training, have been so incredibly useful. If it wasn’t for this workshop, I’m not sure my child would have been half as ready as he is now to be potty trained. All staff go over and beyond and if and when I ever have the smallest of issues, these are dealt with effectively and efficiently. I could not recommend this nursery enough - they are simply amazing!

Review from Anne D (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were worried about our son starting nursery as, although he was eating solids, he was solely breastfeeding not taking fluids by bottle or cup and had not spent long away from either parent. The staff were empathetic, understanding and reassuring and our son's transition to nursery has been better than we could have expected. They were very flexible with settling in sessions and he has such good fun at nursery. There are new activities each day related to their curriculum and they often go outside. Our son has developed several allergies and the staff are very supportive and careful. They send daily photos which is lovely and give us a nice summary of his day at pick up which comes across as very caring and thorough. Easy enough to park near the nursery for pick-up/drop-off and the nursery app is pretty comprehensive - the daily logs of his activity/food/nappies/naps but also the photos, notifications and ability to message the staff.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, Campaigns & Digital Marketing Executive at Bright Horizons Court Oak Day Nursery and Preschool

We're thrilled to hear about your son's positive transition to nursery at Bright Horizons Court Oak! Thank you for highlighting our careful attention to allergies and our comprehensive communication tools, including daily photos and app features. It's a pleasure to support your family's journey!

This is a lovely place where children feel happy and supported throughout their daily journey. All staff are friendly and caring and provide amazing learning opportunities to the children. My daughter has been attending since February 2020 and goes in with a smile every day. There is a rich variety of activities, delicious freshly made food and a couple of large gardens where the children play and explore. I can't praise them enough!

Overall Experience

The team at Bright Horizons Court Oak have been extremely helpful when I have had concerns with my daughters development with her speech. They were in regular contact and provided extra support when required in order for her to reach her potential. She participates in various activities throughout the day and eats a variety of different foods. Since starting at Bright Horizons, we have noticed her to become more confident in herself. She loves it so much she runs straight in, in the mornings without even looking back!

Overall Experience

My son started at Court Oak in November 2020, from the initial call to find out more information I instantly knew this was the right nursery for us. Having had contact with numerous nurseries I didn't have the compassion, friendliness and warmth that I had from Court Oak. Since my son started I noticed the difference in a few weeks, I am extremely happy with all of the staff. I would highly recommend Bright Horizons to any new or existing parent. My son is always excited and happy to arrive at nursery and lights up excitedly when he sees his teachers. I am grateful I was able to get a place for my son here.

Review from Georgina M (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have two children at Court Oak nursery and am really happy that I chose to send them there. My youngest daughter has settled in really quickly and formed such a strong bond with her key worker. I'm really impressed with the amount of settling in sessions the nursery offered us, and I think this gradual build-up really helped her settle in so quickly. Within a couple of weeks, she was reaching out her arms to grab her key worker when I dropped her at the door. This really warmed my heart and shows how the love and care that the staff show the babies and children in their care.
My eldest daughter is flourishing at the nursery too and has grown in confidence so much this last year.
We love that that they both come home with an update sheet of what they've been up to that day. Also loving the fun activities that they've been doing with the children over Christmas.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Court Oak!

Abigail Job Title: Nursery Manager
Abigail

Hello, my name is Abigail, but most people know me as Abiy.

In 2003, my journey with Bright Horizons began as a Nursery Nurse. After taking a brief part-time break to have my daughter, I returned to the Nursery. Over time, I advanced to the role of a room leader and ultimately secured a full-time position as Nursery Manager.

Concurrently, I pursued and successfully earned a degree in Early Years Childhood Studies.

Sophie Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2018
Sophie

My name is Sophie and I have been with Bright Horizons since December 2017. Within 9 months I had thrived and been given my role as a Room Leader within the preschool room and was training for my role as Third in Charge. I have recently been promoted to the position of Deputy Manager of the Nursery at the end of 2018 and Bright Horizons has helped me to develop the skills needed to go with this position. Bright Horizons has provided me with lots of training and filled me with confidence for all of my roles and I feel the appreciation from the company for all of the hard work that I provide. I feel that all staff who are welcomed into the company are given the correct training that they need in order to thrive within their positions within the settings.
