We had a rocky start when it came to finding a place where my daughter would settle. I came to Bright Horizons desperate and not feeling positive at all due to previous setting. From the beginning, Alyson, Hasina and team were amazingly reassuring about the process and within a few days she was a BH baby! The baby room staff have been amazing, so patient and kind with my clingy one and they even managed to get her to sleep on her first day (unheard of!). I'm so so pleased, we look forward to the updates on the app and from the photos they send, we can tell she is genuinely happy there. She has been going for 2 weeks now so I can imagine it only gets even better from here. Thanks team
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear how supported and reassured you felt from the very beginning, and it's wonderful to know your daughter has settled so happily in the baby room. Your kind words about the team and the app updates really mean a lot to us.

My son goes to Bright Horizons Southgate and he absolutely loves it, he always smiles when we arrive outside in the morning! I feel very confident in the staff and love getting updated throughout the day in the app - photos, videos and notes on sleep times, food, nappies and things like that. The staff are very friendly and accommodating if you have a particular need for your child. Opening hours actually work for working parents. Management team are brilliant. Definitely recommend.

The settling in period was over 2 weeks and was organised very well. There was great communication across the staff and they really worked well with my daughter to help her settle into nursery. They celebrated Diwali as well through some great activities. It was good to see the inclusion of various cultures. The staff are very reassuring and have made my daughter feel very comfortable during nap time and we are working together to try and get her to eat more during meal times. Their vegetarian menu is excellent and nutritious and best of all made fresh in house. They set good routines and it benefits her seeing other toddlers doing the same thing. She has started developing social skills and is picking up new words and learning new skills every week. Overall we have had an excellent experience so far.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback! We're delighted your daughter is settling well and enjoying the inclusive activities.
Both my children attended this nursery and I can't rave enough about it! They absolutely thrived thanks to the attentive care of the team, and the management are fabulous. All the staff know the kids and families, and it makes for a caring, homely feel. Couldn't have asked for more!

Thank you for your 5-star review and positive feedback; we truly appreciate your kind words about the team.
We sent both our Children to Bright Horizons Southgate. We were very happy in how both were well looked after. This nursery offered a variety of activities and have helped our children be prepared for their journey into school. We highly recommend this nursery.

My child attends to BH Southgate for nearly 4 years now and I cannot tell how appreciated for the work the people at BH do for my son. He goes there every day with excitment and joy. They always make sure that he feels welcomed.

I cannot ask for anything more in a nursery. Bright Horizons Southgate is everything we could have asked for as first time parents and more. Our child absolutely loves his days at Nursery and since starting a few months ago, he has thrived. The staff are incredible and are fantastic at what they do. Everything is tailored to the cohort of children and my son has created and participated in activities that are creative and challenge him for the better. The care all staff members show for him is above and beyond and as parents we feel seen as individuals. The communication between parents and the nursery is faultless and we have full trust in the nursery in regards to the care of our son. The food menu is well balanced and my child eats a variety of flavours. The incorporation of activities like Boogie Mites, Baby massage are amazing! Our son may have only been in the nursery for a few months, however we cannot wait for him to grow up in the nursery and for him to continue to thrive.
Thank you for your amazing review! We're so happy to hear how much your son is thriving at Bright Horizons Southgate. It's wonderful that you feel supported, well-informed, and confident in the care he receives.
Our experience has been great so far. The staff and management team are very kind and caring. They create a warm, nurturing environment with lots of fun activities and my little one seems very happy! Thank you!

Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear that our team has made such a positive impact on your children's care. We appreciate your recommendation.
Choosing the right nursery is a huge gamble. That nursery may have all the recommendations and is a household name but it's still a gamble. I can tell you that Bright Horizons Southgate is one of the best gambles I've made. I took a leap of faith and it paid off. My husband and I couldn't be...
It's a relief leaving drop offs with the feeling that our toddler will have a great day and the best experience with her friends. Management have been great. The nursery manager, greets us all and knows all the names of the children which is heartwarming and accommodating. We get to see what the children are doing throughout the day by logging onto an app and regular photos of the activities being delivered. I would highly recommend this nursery.

They absolutely love the food too! My eldest graduated 2 years ago and he still speaks about the nursery food, warning my youngest that it won't be the same at school!
