Bright Horizons Northcote Road Day Nursery and Preschool

This is a warm and welcoming nursery. As it’s small, I feel like the staff know my two children extremely well and I am very happy with their development - they are really thriving. The outside space is a good size (for the area) and nutritious food is cooked on site. Feedback is great through the app and via the wonderful manager and room staff. There is also a lovely community of parents.

I would fully recommend this nursery to anyone. We have chosen to keep our son here rather than move him to a feeder nursery for his primary school as we are so happy with the education and care provided.

My daughter has been at the nursery for the past 3.5 years. She has loved every minute and has learnt so much. The staff are great and I know she is in safe hands. They do so many different fun activities every day which we are told about through the new App. She has made some great local friends and so have we! Our second daughter has now started there this year too and settled in very well.

Would 100% recommend Bright Horizons Northcote Road.

My daughter has spent 3 wonderful years at Bright Horizons, and has enjoyed her time here so much! The staff in all of the rooms - Babies, toddlers, Preschool and management, have been fabulous! Its been such a caring and nurturing environment and my duaghter has made truly wonderful friends!

Thank you.

Absolutely lovely staff, our daughter loves it there and everyone is so kind and helpful. They do a bunch of great activities that really stimulate the children and help their development! Highly recommend!

My son has been at Northcote Bright Horizons since it re-opened after lockdown, and he has absolutely loved it. They handled settling really well, and he settled in really quickly. He is there 4-days a week, and I feel so happy knowing he's having a crazy, fun day, filled with activities. The nursery is always trying to make things even better, which is brilliant. All the staff are so lovely, and it's great knowing he's in such safe, loving hands.

Our little one joined the nursery when she was 9 months old. I initially had the 'standard' mum guilt and only wanted her to attend nursery for 3 days per week. Within 2 weeks (her settling in period), I had signed her up full time (5 days per week). The staff are absolutely amazing and now she holds her arms out to be taken by them every morning (I don't know if that says more about my parenting or how amazing they are!). We are updated daily on her activities, what she has eaten etc. But most importantly, we saw within just 2 weeks of her attending a difference in her development. So a huge thank you to her key carer and to all the staff at the Northcote Road Nursery!

The team is very attentive and the local management available/responsive. We had a good vibe with all staff from day one and all the kids seem comfortable with them as is our little one.

We have a very happy daughter here and the staff are lovely. The array of food/games and activities they do is simply amazing. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

A wonderful nursery - my son loves it here. There is a good variety of stimulating activities that the kids do every day and the staff are very caring and professional.

There were other nurseries closer to our home but we felt Northcote Road Day Nursery was the right option for our little boy. He has attended since he was 12 months old and it was the best decision we ever made. Our little one has been so happy there, making friends, growing in confidence and developing in a way he may not have done at home. It is a safe, fun and trusted environment that you feel comfortable leaving your child at every day. The staff have created a community, where parents are encouraged to be part of their child's development. They are knowledgable, experienced, caring and indeed help you learn more about your child as they form their own personalities. I can't recommend it highly enough.

We are very happy with the nursery. Until 5 months ago our daughter was attending another nursery in the area and when a place became available we switched her to this one and we definitively think it was a good decision. The staff are very professional and the room leader is particularly competent. The staff spotted right away our daughter might need glasses while no one ever saw it at the previous nursery. The garden is great, big and well provisioned with relevant toys and activity. There is a good breadth of activities and some of them, like French lessons, are great. The level of security is excellent, for example, the process in place to allow someone else to pick up my kid when needed is very thorough and I really appreciate that. Overall I think it's an outstanding nursery and my only comment would be to have a bigger variety of vegetables on the menu.

NB: what could be nice would be to have the sandpit running and also a decrease in price/day when you go for three days to a full week.

Good stuff and teachers, just a small advice for teachers, if they could have much more passions.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Horizons since she was 5 months old, and we have had a very positive experience over 3 years.

I personally feel the staff look after my son, as if he is their own, with so much love.

Have sent my daughter here from 5 months through to 3 years and been through all the rooms, from baby through to toddlers and now pre-school. Delighted with the experience for her. Staff are warm and attentive - recommend highly.

Northcote nursery is simply fantastic. Staff are kind and knowledgeable and we have absolute trust that they will always make the right decisions for our two children.

We feel comfortable that their development is on track and that the facilities give them the best start in life.

Our daughter has been extremely happy at the nursery and is very fond of the kind staff. It's a great nursery that we would recommend.
