Review from Alexandra B (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started with Bright Horizons when she was 10 months and at first found it difficult to settle in but built some great connections with some of the staff and soon settled in to the routine. Throughout her time at the nursery she has progressed so well and learnt so much and loves the days she spends at Bright Horizons! The whole team are fantastic with her and we love getting all the updates on how she has been getting on.

We have been with Bright Horizons Fair Oak Day Nursery and Preschool since September 2023. We can see the growth in our little one and how much she has matured in this time. She is excited to come to nursery each day and often can’t wait to go again.

Overall Experience

I have found staff across the board at Bright Horizons Fair Oak Nursery absolutely lovely. My daughter is in the toddler room, the room itself is highly equipped with brilliant toys and a nice outdoor area. I especially love the thoughtful and creative activities that the children seem to do daily. I know my daughter has such a lovely time at nursery and it’s so nice to see the relationships she is building. The girls are great at comforting her when needed and it’s so helpful to have the great communication of both the app and a quick chat at handover.

We have had 2 children through the nursery and have always been really happy with the experiences of both girls. All of the class leaders are helpful and friendly and give us a great rundown of what they’ve been up to. The food is great and there is always a good range of activities and toys to get stuck into. My daughter loves coming in and is thriving. Thanks team!

Absolutely amazing! Ever so grateful to all the staff in here. Our son has come along so much since attending this nursery - speech massively improved and the same with social skills. Could not praise them enough. We will miss them when he goes to “ big boy school”.

Overall Experience

All three of our children are now at Bright Horizons Fair Oak Day Nursery and Preschool and are thriving. We could not ask for better staff who encourage and nurture our little ones. We are a bilingual family and are fully supported by the nursery staff, some of which speak our second language to further aid our children's language skills.

Overall Experience

Lovely staff, especially the baby room where my son is at the moment. Always know I am leaving him in safe hands and he obviously enjoys it, as sometimes he doesn't want to leave as he's having so much fun! Has also been so beneficial for his development as they offer lots of learning opportunities through play, and to socialise with other kids the same age regularly.
