Review from Nicola S (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery here and we have seen a big change for the better in her development - her learning and grasp of numbers and letters is coming along wonderfully and she is picking up bits and pieces of other languages (for example singing 'Buenos Dias' at home after learning it at nursery.) She has started eating a better variety of foods at home as a result of trying new things at nursery and has a lot more friends he can socialise with outside of nursery as well (for example at birthday parties.)

The staff are always very helpful and friendly and genuinely take an interest in the children. Our daughter frequently talks about all of the staff in the pre-school room and relates little details about them to us. She has asked several times if we can invite them to our house for dinner as she doesn't want to say goodbye at the end of the day!

Review from Sophie K (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two year old started at the start of 2018 from being at another nursery. Bright Horizons is a fantastic nursery.
My son goes one day a week on a Thursday and I have to say I am very happy and very pleased how settled he is and how much he enjoys going. The staff are amazing, so caring and treat them as their own. Very good 1-1 which helps him and he has learned new skills. I wish I moved him earlier into this nursery.

It is truly amazing.

Overall Experience

The staff at the nursery are fantastic and always make me feel like my daughter is the only one they look after. They are so thorough with what she has been up to and any concerns are always raised to me. My daughter cries when I pick her up. I think she wants to stay! Excellent nursery. I'm very impressed with the care my daughter gets.

Review from Antony P (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The standard of care that we get from Bright Horizons is fantastic! The team always welcome us with a smile and really do care and look after our son.
When picking up our son from the nursery the team give us plenty of information about what has happened in that day - including what he has eaten, how long he has slept for, how many nappies he has gone through etc.
We recently attended a parents evening whereby we were shown a log book which had plenty of information about his time with the nursery so far, including pictures, memorable moments, development/progress.

We know that we leave our son in safe hands which really does make us feel comfortable when going to work.

Review from David C (Father of Child) published on 23 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot fault the staff at Bright Horizons. They all are very friendly and helpful and obviously really care about the children.
I was worried at first when my daughter first went to nursery (protective parent syndrome) but as soon as I noticed how the staff interacted with her and all of the children it was like dropping my child off with a family member.
The nursery also goes the extra mile to include parents/grandparents in activities such as stay and play or special evening events for holidays (Halloween was my daughters favourite). Also, they are constantly having visitors who will do special activities with the children such as music teachers, painters and one I'm looking forward to for Easter is the chocolatier who is going to help the children make their own Easter eggs.

If you are looking to put your child into nursery this is by far the best one I have found and cannot recommend it enough.

Review from Ciara (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been in full-time care at Bright Horizons Sale since he was six months old, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience.
He has built strong relationships with his key workers and it's been delightful to witness the things they have taught him. He has really come on in leaps and bounds since starting, both physically and socially.
The team themselves are highly engaged and bring visible enthusiasm and love to their work - god knows where they get the energy! We have made a special bond with his primary key worker, and I trust her implicitly. The manager of the nursery deserves a special mention. She seems to have a warm relationship with the team but is very knowledgeable and professional too, and her personal commitment to the role really comes across. There's a lot of thought and care that goes into all the planning.
Every day there are different structured activities and a varied menu of foods - all of which he loves.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Overall Experience

The staff in Baby 1 and Baby 2 have been fantastic with our little boy. He genuinely loves coming to nursery and it’s such a weight off our minds to know he is happy and enjoys learning. The staff know our son very well and always take the time to chat with us even when they’re busy. Thanks you Bright Horizons Sale!

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

Our daughter started here at the beginning of December 2017 and how quickly she’s settled into nursery life is a credit to the manageress and the team.

As any parent would be, we were nervous about leaving our child in the care of someone else, but we needn’t have been, as we were instantly put at ease and made to feel extremely welcome.

Everyone is really lovely and professional and I love that when my husband dropped her off in her second week, everyone knew her name, even members of staff from other rooms.

We’re now in our 4th week and we’re so pleased we made the choice to come here.

Review from Dan B (Father of Child) published on 23 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery has a lovely atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. The management team are always happy and welcoming and make it easier for my daughter to come into nursery with their happy, smiling faces. My daughter goes straight to her key person for a cuddle before breakfast.

The children's learning stories are always accessible for the parents to look through and you can arrange a working in partnership with your key person at any time to discuss your child's development. She never wants to come home which makes me feel happy as a working parent to know I have put my child in a nursery where they safeguard her and ensure she has a fun and enjoyable day at nursery.

Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team they will always make cards for family members birthdays, invite grandparents and parents into the nursery to enjoy fun activities with the children. The nursery is graded outstanding from Ofsted and you can see why from the moment you walk into the nursery!

Review from Victoria S (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at the nursery are excellent, they provide a high standard of care for my child. The staff are friendly, professional and always meet our needs as a family.

The management team are very approachable and caring and work extremely hard to meet the needs of every family.

The nursery has PNA meetings quarterly where the parents can sit down and discuss nursery topics and events, I have found this a great way to get to know the families. I recently attended a Halloween event at the nursery called "The Ugly Bug Ball" with my daughter, you could tell how much hard work the team put in for the children and parents to have an enjoyable time together.

I would recommend this nursery to all families, the service we have received is outstanding!!

Review from Catherine S (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending the nursery for almost a year now and she loves it!! Every morning as we pull into the car park she gets excited clapping her hands and cheering.

The staff are fantastic with my daughter and always go that extra mile with her care, her learning journey is amazing and is a true reflection on my daughter with great observations and photographs it’s great to look at and see where she is up to in her development.

The manager of the nursery is always warm and friendly and will always greet us with a friendly hello and a quick chat showing lots of interest in both myself and my daughter's lives.

The manager noticed how on arrival my daughter would always reach out for the pens on the desk as she likes to draw with them so therefore she produced a notepad and pen which is now left out at the children’s height in reception so my daughter can have a quick scribble on the way in which she loves as she now feels very important.

Review from Alexandra S (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son started here two months ago at the age of eleven months. All of the team from management to carers have been absolutely wonderful. Our son loves his key person and the other nursery assistants. Everyone seems to know him and welcome him every morning. I never feel any worry when I drop him off in the morning and know that he will have a fun day and will be well looked after. They also have been helping him to develop skills that I work with him on at home. I have nothing negative I could say about this nursery.

Delighted we have chosen this nursery for our son. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring and I feel very comfortable leaving my baby boy with them. The outdoor area is fantastic, just what we are looking for as an active family, also the rooms are bright, stimulating and well-resourced with lovely displays featuring my son's artwork. The fees are all inclusive too which is great for getting out of the house quicker in the morning! Can't recommend enough!

Overall Experience

We joined the nursery last year and have been so happy with the care and professionalism of the team at Sale. Working with children myself, I wanted to ensure the nursery was committed to early years development as well as creating a fun and enjoyable space. The team here go above and beyond to achieve this and my daughter loves coming every day. The warmth of the team is truly wonderful and with number 2 on the way, I'm so pleased I found a nursery that is a great fit for us.

Review from Liz (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A couple of years ago this nursery was in bad shape and I came very close to removing my child. Thanks to a change in management and some excellent appointments it has gone from strength to strength. I'm particularly impressed with the quality of care from the team in babies/cruisers where the staff seem to genuinely love their jobs and the children they look after. They go out of their way to reassure parents and provide a stimulating environment for babies. I think preschool could improve communication with parents. They need to shout about the good work they're doing!
