Review from A L (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care and support our daughter V receives at Bright Horizons. She was born extremely prematurely and has a visual impairment, so starting nursery felt daunting. From day one, the team have been kind, understanding and genuinely invested in helping her thrive.
The staff have taken time to understand her individual needs, work closely with us and other professionals, and ensure she can participate confidently in nursery life. They have been especially supportive with her feeding challenges and have celebrated every achievement, no matter how small.

Most importantly, V is happy, settled and excited to attend nursery. Seeing her confidence, independence and social skills grow has been wonderful. We are incredibly grateful for the warmth, professionalism and dedication shown by the entire team and would highly recommend Bright Horizons to other families.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool

Overall Experience
Bright Horizons day nursery has helped our daughter integrate with other children. The nursery has taught her to share and play, creating a feeling of a safe and welcoming atmosphere . Feed back from day staff is good and clear. Our daughter loves the meals and often has everything on offer.

Her confidence grows with every day she attends.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool

Overall Experience

This is an outstanding nursery with trustworthy, knowledgeable, kind and dedicated staff. Our child has been there for over a year and has developed so much in their confidence, communication and social skills. They love the outdoor space (the bikes!), food and creative activities. As a working parent, it's vital to know that our child is somewhere where they can be safe and nurtured. We've found that at Sale and will be truly sad when we do have to finally say goodbye!

Review from Emily J (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I honestly couldn't be happier with the care my daughter has received since joining this nursery. From the very beginning, the team has gone above and beyond to make both her and myself feel comfortable and settled. The staff are so caring and attentive, and I feel reassured every single day knowing she is in such safe and nurturing hands.

I really value how detailed the handovers are at drop off and pick up - nothing ever feels rushed, and I always feel fully informed about how her day has gone. They share updates throughout the day, which is such a comfort as a parent, especially when you're leaving your child in someone else's care. The staff genuinely take the time to understand my daughter's needs and my own thoughts as a parent, and that partnership makes a big difference. Already, I can see her thriving here, growing in confidence and happiness every day. I feel so greatful to have found a place where she is not only cared for but truly supported to flourish.

My little girl absolutely loves this nursery & she's come on so much since being there and loves coming home to talk about her day, sometimes she actually doesn't want to leave!
The staff and the manager are all amazing.

The menus are great and offer lots of variety for the kids too

Overall Experience
My child started here at 6 months old and is now 2 and a half. In my experience so far, all staff have been caring and attentive to my child.
Management are accessible, activities are varied and educational, and my child (who loves outdoors) gets plenty of opportunity to play outside.

Communication via the app is easy, with quick responses from room staff and management.

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending Bright Horizons for close to 12 months now, they are thriving having established strong relationships with staff, and care needs acknowledged and met promptly.

My child has known allergies and staff have been thorough and diligent in accommodating required precautions, dietary exclusions and medication. I feel confident in the knowledge that the upmost is being done to protect my child, and protocols are consistently followed- validated by the fact I've had to turn up unannounced or at short notice on several occasions only to see the meal/ allergy protocols in action.

Educationally, I can see my child picking up new words, able to name body parts and shapes, and sing words to songs- things I haven't taught. The regular observations alongside daily app updates demonstrate staff take time to watch, acknowledge and encourage growth.

Overall very happy with the nursery, and would thoroughly recommend.

Overall Experience
DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO BRIGHT HORIZONS NURSERY!!!

Im absolutely horrified at the negligence my daughter and I have experienced today within the care of the nursery. I was informed by phone my child had been bitten on the foot by another child, this was shrugged off by staff and i was told it was 'one of those things' i went to picky child up from nursery to find she also had a bruise on her cheek, when asked how this had happened, none of the girls within my daughters care can explain how this has happened to a 17 month old baby. I had to ask them for an accident form to be filled out for the injury to her face, as I am seeking legal action for an investigation to be done of this nursery. They then lied on the accident form and insinuated the injury had 'potentially' been done by a toy oven door. This was absolutely not the case, and when first asked, they admitted none of them had an idea how the injury had happened. I have this verbal conversation recorded on my phone.

Review from A D (Mother of Child) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The quality of care is of a very high standard, the staff are caring & well resourced team. The handover at pick up time is detailed & offers insight into how your child has been that day & how they engaged with activities & meals.
The wider support for additional developmental learning is great via SENCO trained staff, would like to see more staff trained & advising staff.
The facility is clean & lots of activities for children to engage with, allowing social & solo play.
Happy my child is at Bright Horizons, we feel supported & appreciate guidance & experiences of staff shared with us to help with our child's development.
The manager is attentive to any matters.

All staff are attentive & key workers particularly.

My little boy has been attending since he was 7 months old and he has flourished. He loves his time at Bright Horizons, is excited upon arrival and the staff have been extremely supportive throughout the different milestones such as weaning and walking. The staff are fantastic, always willing to help and support and I feel thoroughly up to date from both the updates on the app and the handover at pickup time. Such a great decision to send my child to Bright Horizons - thank you.

Review from David T (Father of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We joined this nursery last year after searching for the right place for our daughter. We couldn't be happier with our decision. As a same sex couple we have been welcomed and supported with our daughter, and there has been a real sense of openess to our situation and sensitivity towards inclusion. Our daughter has progressed so much as a result of the amazing work done by the managers and the team. Our daughter loves her time at nursery, is confident, social, a great eater - all as a result of the support given by this nursery. Their practices are sector leading, and this helps our daughter and all other children thrive in a safe and welcoming environment. A huge thank you to everyone.

Review from Penny C (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing staff that know each child by name and are easy to talk to. My child's key worker provides regular updates and observations. Staff adapt to the child's needs, especially when they are unsettled for any reason. They share stories of my daughter's day and have helped her settle in very quickly. She now gets excited when she arrives and does not want to leave at the end of the day. She has learnt to 'talk' a lot more and at a greater rate than before attending the nursery.

Extremely good safeguarding measurements in place too; requiring photo and password for collection of a child.

Review from Laurier A (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can honestly say that choosing Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool was one of the best decisions that we've made as parents. This is as close to a perfect nursery experience that I could imagine; I truly don't think that I could ask any more from the lovely team and great facilities.
I could rave about every facet: the nurturing environment, the stimulating activities, the kind, caring and knowledgeable staff, the variety of foods/catering to preferences, the strength of the curriculum, the attention to detail, the clear communication, the daily updates and the welcoming and inclusive attitude of the staff.

I have friends that often share their varied experiences with other childcare arrangements, so I know that not everyone is lucky enough to have an option like Bright Horizons. I feel so fortunate to have such a comfortable and secure place to send my child every day, where I know that not only is she getting a brilliant experience but that I trust them implicitly. It's such peace of mind.

Our experience of Bright Horizons Sale has been great. My daughter has been attending since October 2021 and I’ve just registered my unborn child to start next year. I could not imagine using another nursery. The staff are friendly, attentive and are always available to talk to me about my child’s development and learning journey. Each day I look forward to seeing pictures on the app of what exciting activities the children have been doing. I could not recommend this nursery enough!

Initially, I was filled with anxiety about leaving my daughter in someone else's care, but the staff at Bright Horizons quickly dispelled my fears. The staff members are not only lovely but also incredibly helpful and supportive, making every day a positive experience for both my daughter and me. It's heartwarming to see how much she has thrived under their care, and I attribute her growth and development to the dedication and nurturing she has received. The facilities at Bright Horizons are top-notch, providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children. I particularly appreciate the daily pictures and updates that allow me to stay connected with her activities and progress throughout the day. Bright Horizons has truly made our experience seamless and unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to the staff, your dedication and care have made a lasting impact on our family, and we will always cherish the memories of my daughter's time at the nursery.

We moved down from Scotland in September 2022 with our then 2-year-old, so it was quite a big change for her, but the team at Bright Horizons were fantastic and helped her settle in quickly. Since then, she's grown so much in confidence, made so many new friends and the learning environment in preschool has been great. I would highly recommend both the environment and the staff at Bright Horizons Sale.
