My child always has a wonderful experience at the nursery. All the staff have been really wonderful and engaged. My child's speech and understanding has come.on leaps and bounds since starting nursery and we have noticed a lot more confidence.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased your child is happy and growing in confidence.
His speech has improved drastically since starting, and it's been amazing to see how much more confident and expressive he has become. He's formed lovely bonds with all the staff, who are always warm, welcoming, and engaging. It's clear how much they care about each child, and that personal connection has made such a difference.
He absolutely loves going to nursery each day, and as a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, safe, and well-supported. I can't thank the team enough for the positive impact they've had on his development.
Highly recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear how much your son has thrived, grown in confidence and enjoyed his time with us. Thank you for your recommendation.
I cannot recommend bright horizons Andover enough. My daughter started in September 2024 and has thrived since being there. The staff are lovely and I have never felt worried about leaving my child in there care. The regular updates help keep my mind at rest and it's so lovely to see how much she enjoys being there. Most days it's can even be a struggle to get her to leave.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how much your daughter has thrived at Bright Horizons Andover and how reassuring the regular updates have been. Thank you for your recommendation.
We cannot thank Andover Day Nursery enough for the wonderful care and encouragement they have given our daughter. She joined when she was just over one, and the team went above and beyond to make her transition smooth-whether with eating habits, confidence, or reassurance at such a young age. Their thoughtful communication gave us real comfort. The weekly updates are invaluable, letting us see her progress, friendships, and learning, while parent-teacher meetings provided detailed insights into her growth-always beyond our hopes. Our daughter has blossomed into a confident, happy, independent child thanks to the nurturing, supportive environment. As she moves on to school, we are grateful for the role the nursery has played. We had no hesitation applying again for our second child, knowing the wonderful experience that awaits them too.
Thank you for your heartfelt review. We're delighted your daughter has thrived at Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and that you've felt so supported throughout her journey. We look forward to welcoming your second child.
Both my daughters love it here and have developed very strong bonds with the staff.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear both your daughters are happy and have formed strong bonds with our team.
We had a bit of a rocky start when our daughter joined in February. Wasn't sure if she was just not settling in. The nursery was so great and made sure we worked out things to make her transition easier. Come to find out she was just getting chicken pox. Once she got better we did a refresh and our daughter is thriving! We are so glad we chose this nursery and I have to say they are all brilliant and we feel so at peace knowing she is being looked after when she's there. Thank you to everyone who looks after her and encourages her in her early development.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so glad your daughter is now thriving and settled-it's wonderful to hear! Transitions can be tricky, and we're proud our team was able to support you through it with care and flexibility.
The staff are very compassionate and understanding, not just to the children but the parents too. They take the time to listen and work together with you so it really feels like you're all a team rather than home vs nursery. The facilities are amazing and we love hearing about what they've done at the end of the day at handover. My daughter has made great relationships and connections to her peers which is just so lovely to see. The staff really do go above and beyond every single day
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear that you feel supported. It's lovely to know your daughter is building strong connections and enjoying her time with us. We really appreciate your recognition of the team's dedication and the care they put in every day!
We have loved the support and compassion the staff have for our children. They always listen to our worries and work with us to achieve the best for our children. They are kind and always so joyful. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has been doing over the past two years. It's wonderful to know that our caring team, engaging activities, and outdoor play have all contributed positively to her experience.
This is a really good nursery. I chose them because they seemed to retain their staff and there was a good feel to the place. This turned out to be right as they have been great with our daughter and have gone out of their way to help us at times.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that you've had a positive experience and that our team has been supportive of your daughter. We truly appreciate your trust and feedback!
Our daughter has been at the Andover Bright Horizons Nursery for about 9 months now and we have been amazed by how much she has grown and developed there! The team is wonderful and we can see that they have a passion for their work. They have been great at developing a relationship with her and she loves going there. We particularly enjoy the way her progress and feedback on her development are given in a very detailed and thoughtful way, highlighting how her personality shines through and the lovely way in which the team interacts with her on a daily basis. The Nursery is managed brilliantly and we get feedback on questions very quickly. We could not recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear your daughter has thrived and that you appreciate the detailed feedback and the team's support. Thank you for your recommendation.
Our son is very happy at this nursery. The staff are amazing, the food is great and we are very happy. We get regular updates on his progress, have had a thorough report for him and can see his development coming along well. The management are prompt with responses and the greeting we receive daily is lovely. There is a very homely feel to this nursery. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear your son is happy and thriving with us. It's great to know you appreciate the updates, food, and the homely atmosphere. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery for just over a year and it was the best decision we ever made for her development, social skills and networking. We have had days where the separation anxiety got a bit much, making drop off a little more challenging than other days, and the team in Andover were absolutely fantastic. They truly went over and above to make her feel comfortable and at ease. The nursery manager is outstanding and every member of the team is fantastic, friendly and accommodating to what your children need. I could not rate or recommend Bright Horizons Andover enough! Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so happy to be part of your daughter's journey and to have helped her feel at ease. Thank you for your recommendation.
My son loves going there, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he is in good hands every day.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your son enjoys his time at nursery and that you appreciate our dedicated team.
Our son has been with Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool since September and he has loved it. He settled really quickly and the team have been fantastic. Everyone is so welcoming and clearly enjoys their job. I highly recommend this nursery!
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback! Thank you for recommending us.
Honestly, the best nursery! All the staff are so lovely and my daughter loves her nursery days so much. I was nervous to send my daughter to nursery but they have made the whole process so smooth and my daughter is thriving there. They are so caring and give so much detail at the end of the day so I know how her day has gone. They are also amazing with any dietary requirements! Will definitely be sending my next child here.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter loves her time at the nursery and that the nursery staff have made the transition smooth for both of you. It's great to know she is thriving and we appreciate your kind words about the caring team and attention to dietary needs. We look forward to welcoming your next child!
Would certainly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear that your daughter has been enjoying her time at the nursery since she started. It's wonderful that she has built such great relationships with the staff and her friends. Thank you for your recommendation.
The team at Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool are absolutely fabulous. They adore my child and the children in their care and this is evident in the way they interact with them. My son has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his development, especially his speech and language. I love hearing about his day on pick-up and the updates staff provide on the app throughout the afternoon are lovely! I especially like the photos and that I can see exactly what he's eaten and consumed throughout the day. Management and staff are supportive and can't do enough to help alleviate any worries or concerns. Would give more than five stars if I could.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear how much you and your son enjoy being part of our Bright Horizons Andover family. It's wonderful to know that our team's dedication is making a positive impact on his development. We're glad you appreciate the updates and photos on our app and we're always here to support you. Your kind words mean the world to us, thank you again!
Very nice and friendly staff, kids love to go there. I wish they allowed half days as well, just like before. I am very happy with the food they give to the kids. My only issue is they let my son sleep too much, although I asked them not to, and it has an effect on his night sleep.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We will reach out to the team on your behalf and check in about the sleeping patterns. We try hard to fit into family schedules and will try our best. Please reach out to your key carer if you have any further concerns.
The staff are amazing here! They listen to all your worries and concerns. They cater to every child's different needs and my daughter loves going there! Some drop-offs have tears but the staff are so good at settling her and reassuring me while I'm at work! They have a great new garden area which my daughter loves and comes home talking about the mud kitchen!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter loves coming to the nursery and that our staff has been so attentive and reassuring. It's great to know she enjoys the new garden area and the mud kitchen. Your kind words are much appreciated!
Our little boy started nursery at about one year old. We are really impressed with how all the members of staff interact with the little ones, our boy seems to know them all and be comfortable with them. He has an allergy and they are great at supporting his dietary needs. He has picked up some new signs at nursery and they do a range of fun activities. The updates in the app are useful and it's nice to see photos every week.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words.
