An amazing nursery with the most caring and supportive team - we couldn't be happier! We feel so fortunate to have our little one here. The staff are approachable, warm and truly supportive. The baby room team were wonderful in helping him settle, and we've seen such lovely progress since. We love the thoughtful updates and photos each day, and even the kitchen staff greeted him by name early on - a small gesture that meant so much. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a nurturing and happy environment!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're delighted your little one has settled so well at Bright Horizons Fair Oak and that you've seen such wonderful progress supported by the whole team.
Our youngest started in January 25 and has had the best start. We braced ourself for a rocky start but have had the exact opposite. She looks forward to going and gets excited as soon as she sees the door. The baby room staff are just amazing. Our daughter has the most amazing bond with her key worker, if she sees her at the front door she wants to be carried up to the room by her not us! The range of activities and experiences they offer is great and seems to have got even better over the years. We can't thank the staff enough for supporting not only our children but also us as parents through the transition of starting nursery.
Thank you for your heartfelt review. We're so glad both children are thriving and that you've felt truly supported throughout their nursery journey.
The staff in the baby room, and across the entire nursery, are lovely people and clearly care so much about the children. The children experience a variety of play and learning opportunities (every week is a new theme), and the staff update you on their progress regularly, as well as photos of what your child has been up to during the week.
The nursery have supported with arranging the paperwork for the 'free hours' government funding scheme, making it easy for parents.
My child loves attending Bright Horizons at Fair Oak; I am more than confident that my child will be fully prepared for school in the future due to the efforts that this nursery goes to.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're glad the settling-in sessions and ongoing support helped your return to work, and it's great to hear your child is thriving and enjoying their time at Fair Oak.
I'm so pleased we started him at BH so young, we are absolutely certain that being in such a nurturing and sociable environment from a young age has made him a gregarious and adaptable little boy, and helped him to enjoy new situations and new people without getting anxious. I'd recommend BH to anyone, particularly the wonderful baby team!
Thank you for such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear how well your son has settled and thrived with us. It's fantastic that the app, our approach to weaning and the support from the baby team have made such a positive impact. Thank you for your recommendation.
Really happy with the progress our child is making at the nursery. The staff are always very helpful and kind. We feel very confident that our child is happy while at nursery and we have no concerns about their care while they are there. Our child seems to love attending nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear about the progress your child is making and that you feel confident in their care. It's wonderful that they enjoy attending nursery and we truly appreciate your trust and kind words about our staff.
The team in the babies room were amazing and my little boy has developed so much thanks to their help! Amazing job! They are always welcoming and giving advice and the little one has made real connections with them making the whole process easier.
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear your little boy has developed so much and formed great connections with the team.
Both my children love going to nursery at a right Horizons Fair Oak. Our son just recently left baby room where he was so happy. The staff really were amazing settling him into nursery life. The team were always so warm, kind and very informative about how the day had been. He has transitioned into toddlers really well and having a great time. My daughter is in pre school room too and loving it!
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad both your children love their time at Bright Horizons Fair Oak and that your son transitioned smoothly into the toddler room. It's wonderful to hear your daughter is thriving in preschool too!
The nursery is brilliant, staff are friendly, very helpful and give great reports. My child is very happy at this nursery and so are we as parents. We've never had any issues and so pleased with all that our son has achieved here. Thank you all.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that your son is happy and thriving with us. It's wonderful to know that you're pleased with our friendly staff and the progress he's made.
Our daughter has loved nursery since starting with Bright Horizons and we have seen her confidence and development grow. The baby room team are all so lovely and caring. We really enjoy getting updates about what our daughter has been doing. Thank you all and keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that your daughter is thriving and growing in confidence. It's great to know the baby room team has made such a positive impact.
Amazing caring staff. I can confidently go to work knowing my child is happy, developing and cared for. Thank you for all you do! I can ask any questions and the staff will happily help and give honest feedback.
Thank you for your five-star review and for sharing your positive feedback with us!
My son recently moved up from the toddler room to the next room and given his personality, we were worried he'd not like the change and cry at drop-off. He did cry on the first day of drop-off but the staff have helped him settle in so well that he didn't cry again and now runs to the room each day!
His key worker is amazing, as are all the staff across the nursery. He experiences different things each day and the updates we get via the app are so gratefully received!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear that your son is thriving at Bright Horizons Fair Oak. It's wonderful that our staff were able to support him during his transition to the new room and we're thrilled he now runs in with excitement!
My son (and indeed my daughter) have attended since they were 11 months old and as my son headed off this morning for his last day before heading off to start Primary school soon I have been reflecting on what an incredible nursery we have been fortunate enough to send our children to. Both children have utterly loved their time there. From day one to this final day I only have positive words to say about Bright Horizons Fair Oak and the incredible team there. Despite having only just turned 4 as an August baby my son is so well equipped to start school with confidence due to the amazing care and activities he has had in the lead up.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that both your son and daughter have loved their time with us. It's great to know that our care and activities have helped prepare your son for school with confidence. We are so grateful for your positive feedback and wish him all the best on his new journey!
The preschool room is very spacious with lots of brilliant activities set out to support my daughter's development and needs. The outdoor space is fantastic with lots of room to run about and explore nature.
The Bright Horizons app is great for nursery staff to update us with what our daughter has done throughout the day, as well as what she's eaten (which are varied and delicious meals!) as well as her next steps of development. It is also easy to put in holiday/sick days or contact the manager or room lead who replies in good time.
My daughter is very happy here, thanks to the care of the nursery staff.
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled that your daughter has settled into the preschool room and enjoys the activities and outdoor space. It's great to hear that the Bright Horizons app helps you stay updated on her day and development.
I couldn't possibly say a bad word about anyone or anything at this nursery. Every member of staff cares for your child and knows them by name, even if they have never been in their class. The children and their development and happiness are the most important things for everyone and this does not falter from babies through to preschool. They take the time at handover to discuss your child's day with you and really do care about each child individually.
The management of the nursery is also outstanding. I'm sure they have their challenges at times but you would not know this as they maintain a caring and professional environment at all times. Our children absolutely love it there!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to be considered the gold standard for nurseries. We're delighted your children love being here as much as we love having them! Thank you.
As a new mother, I was very apprehensive about leaving my son at a nursery however Bright Horizons Fair Oak Day Nursery and Preschool has made all my worries vanish! They have such amazing staff that take such care of my son. They've been very patient with him whilst he was learning to settle into a new environment without his mummy and daddy being there, he's now settled so well and he continues to be the happy boy he always is whilst at nursery and we know this is all thanks to the staff at Bright Horizons. We honestly couldn't have picked a better nursery.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
The staff are professional and just so lovely - we feel safe with our baby being in their hands.
Thank you for your heartwarming review! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with Bright Horizons. Thank you for sharing your experience!
The staff are absolutely amazing and excellent at communicating what my child gets up to when she goes. I love the posts with photos showing this. My child loves going and interacting with the other children. It also gives her the opportunity to make her own circle of friends who aren't her big sisters.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
Friendly staff and always helpful with our child. My child enjoys being here and has learnt a lot in his time and enjoys being outside and has become better socially. He is enjoying coming to pre-school.
Thank you for your review. We're thrilled to learn that your child has a wonderful experience at our nursery. Thank you for choosing us!
My daughter is always excited to go to nursery, she enjoys her time so much. My daughter is incredibly supported by all her nursery workers and her speech and her learning has come on so much. I am confident that sending my daughter to nursery has given her the best start in life and I am so grateful for the support and love the nursery gives my daughter and to me. Thank you for being the best!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter is always excited to come to nursery and that she enjoys her time with us so much.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the services that the preschool provides. My daughter absolutely loves going to preschool, there is a wide variety of activities offered within the setting which are both fun and educational. My daughter’s personal development has been fantastic, and I have been amazed at her progress since starting at the preschool. All the staff are very approachable, friendly and helpful and I am always given an extensive handover when I pick my daughter up. Lots of information is also uploaded onto the preschool’s online portal. I would highly recommend the preschool to all family and friends.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're extremely happy with the services provided by our nursery. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're grateful for your trust and support.
