Review from James (Father of Child) published on 9 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to this nursery for several months now and I can't fault it, the staff are great and very welcoming. It's nice to see my daughter interacting with other children and enjoying herself. I look forward to her growing throughout her time at this nursery and building her confidence.

Would recommend this nursery to anyone as a safe place for children to learn and for parents to not have to worry about them.

A very good nursery that has helped my son develop and grow well. There are lots of well-structured activities and learning sessions and his abilities (speech/motor-skills) have increased greatly

Review from Katya S (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic place, which I have already recommended to two of my friends and they have placed their children under their care. Staff are amazing, always going an extra mile for the well being of the children. Kept me informed of details when my daughter was moved up to pre-school. My little girl comes home with something new learnt every day, which shows the amount of activities they are doing all the time! Excellent service!

Review from David (Father of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is very happy here, and the staff I've met so far in the toddler room all seem very nice and do a very good job.

The nursery is very well organised and efficient, but the environment still retains the homely and relaxed feel we want our daughter to experience. Would recommend.

Review from Jaime M (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son thoroughly enjoys going to nursery even though he only attends one day a week, he does not want to come home at the end of the day.
I enjoy picking him up and speaking to his key worker hearing about his day and what he has done.
He has changed so much since going to nursery, he is a lot more confident and his speech is coming on well.
All the girls in both rooms do an amazing job.

I know he is in safe hands.

Review from Serena C (Grandmother of Child) published on 17 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My granddaughter has recently moved up rooms, earlier than planned but this was the right decision. On picking her up all the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. My granddaughter is always playing and when it's dry they are in the garden getting fresh air.

Thank you to everyone for making this excellent learning space for her to flourish.

Review from Rachel C (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has just moved up rooms. The confidence my daughter has built up within growing explorers is fantastic. They helped me and my daughter with the potty training. I received a detailed handover at the end of each day. The ladies in the room are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for all your support.

The ladies in her new room have been fantastic, it was a very quick move up as my daughter was completely ready. They have welcomed my little girl into their room and have been very supportive on the days she doesn’t go in well.

I know leaving my little girl at Maidstone Day Nursery, Turkey Mill is the best choice for her. Management are fantastic and very welcoming on both drop off and pick ups. They always know a little bit about what my daughter has been doing throughout the day.

Review from Jana F (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Overall, we absolutely love the Bright Horizons Nursery!

Our daughter has become more independent and confident in her abilities. Very caring environment, the nursery itself, is a fun and bright place.
Food provided was a bit disappointing, could be more healthy but overall satisfactory.

We would definitely recommend to others.

Review from Becci L (Mother of Child) published on 14 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My son has been at this nursery since he was very young, from the beginning he settled in very easily with the help of the staff. The communication was great between myself and his key worker and has been ever since. My son has learnt so much and has gained so much confidence by being here.
We are only moving him now to a more local nursery in order to prepare him for school and let him get to know the children that he maybe going to school with.

I couldn't fault this nursery it has been fantastic and both I and my little boy will miss coming here very much. Thank you to everyone for making my little boy feel so welcome and hope to see you all again in the future.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Maidstone Day Nursery since 2014 and she instantly loved the atmosphere, staff, garden and food. Our daughter came along in leaps and bounds. Our son started in 2016 and has absolutely loved every minute. His speech is now fantastic and learns something new every day. He loves his key workers. The manager is amazing and always greets the children with a smile. All in all, a fantastic experience.

Overall Experience

I chose the Summer Camp for my son mainly due to the incredibly warm welcome we received during a visit and the fact that I wanted somewhere with excellent facilities and lots of outside play space. My son is happy. He always comes home with enthusiastic stories of what he has done and learnt each day.

Overall Experience

I have found the nursery to be wonderful, my son always seems happy, and loves all the staff. He's always happily playing when I arrive to collect him, and the updates the staff provide give me a real insight to his day. The staff are always keen to make sure my son's needs are met, and I never have to worry about him when he is there.

Overall Experience

From the beginning, all the staff at the nursery have had a very helpful and caring attitude. If there have been any issues concerning my child, they have been very prompt in contacting me or my wife. All the children in class seem very happy. The facilities are first class and hygiene is paramount.

Overall Experience
The nursery provides a bright welcoming reception each morning. The room is always laid out with lots of different activities to do throughout the day, the children get to help with the setting up too.
The outside space is fantastic and allows the children to explore, play and grow.
The meal selection is varied and the self service element is great for growing appetites.

The staff are friendly and help the children to grow in every aspect.

Overall Experience

The care and support is outstanding. The team have identified areas of support for my child and dealt with it with professionalism and empathy. I feel that my son is getting the best start to his education, this is more than childcare. He has settled in well and the team do all they can to support him.

Without question, I would definitely recommend Bright Horizons.

Where have I come from?

I was a Children’s Service Manager for Nuffield Health from 1998 to 2019, I managed the nursery, creche, afterschool clubs and holiday camps. I delivered training for the other 12 nurseries within the company and supported the opening of new nurseries within the business. I have worked with Kent County Council in their Early Help, this role was supporting vulnerable families and children.

My Family and home life

I live with my husband, 2 boys and my 3rd child, Trigger the dog.

I was raised in Bromley, and when I had my children, I moved to the Maidstone.

What is my passion?

I have 2 passions; my main passion is my boys and their dedication to becoming the next professional footballer, I attend training and matches come rain or shine, and I even know the offside rule! My other passion is early years and providing every child with the best opportunities to build a foundation to achieve.

You never would have guessed but...

My Grandparents bought me a tortoise when I was 2 years old, Tabatha the tortoise is now 43 years old.

Tracy Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2014
Tracy

I started my childcare career in 2014, joining Bright Horizons as part of the bank team. My journey has taken me through the completion of my Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification and provided the opportunity to work across all age groups broadening my theoretical and practical knowledge and experience.

I am passionate to provide the best care and quality of education for children. I enjoy watching each of them grow and develop and feel privileged to be able to share in their achievements.

In my own time, I like to read and I also run.
