We couldn't be happier with the care and support our son has received at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff made him feel safe, welcomed, and valued, which gave us so much confidence as parents. The team are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and it's been amazing to see how much he has grown in confidence, independence, and social skills during his time there. He genuinely looks forward to going each day, which says everything. The activities are always engaging and educational, and it's clear that the children's development and happiness are a real priority. Communication with parents has also been excellent we always feel informed and involved. The parents app is great as there is daily updates as to what little ones are up to!
We're so grateful to all the staff for creating such a nurturing and positive environment. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and supportive place for their child

We are very happy with this nursery. My daughter started here when she was around 1 year and 5 months old, and now at 3 years old she is still very happy here, which as a parent means everything. Sometimes she doesn't even want to come home because she enjoys it so much!
The staff are all very kind, caring, and friendly, and you can really see how well they look after the children. The atmosphere is lovely, the children play well together, and the nursery is always clean, safe, and welcoming.
I also really like that they have an outdoor garden area where the kids can play and enjoy some fresh air when the weather is nice. It's such a nice environment for little ones to learn and have fun.
We truly appreciate all the care and effort from the team and would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

Hello!
I'm Louise, the proud owner of A Bright Start Nursery, which I opened back in 2014 alongside my talented daughter Charlotte, who manages our setting daily.
I’m happily married and am a mother to three grown daughters. I also cherish spending time with my two energetic grandsons and two lovely granddaughters. When I have some spare time, I enjoy going on health-focused walks with my husband, travelling, and making precious memories with my grandchildren.
Starting the nursery was a new adventure for me, as I hadn’t previously worked in childcare. To ensure I could effectively support our setting, I completed my Level 3 Childcare qualification, which also allows me to step in where needed.
My primary role here is as the chef, and I take great pride in preparing homemade meals right on the premises. I love involving the children in our seasonal menu planning, catering to their tastes and encouraging their curiosity.
I feel incredibly proud to have my daughters by my side as we run this family business together, fostering a nurturing and welcoming environment for everyone.

Hi there! I’m Victoria, but everyone calls me Vicky.
I’ve been a part of A Bright Start since 2015, starting as an apprentice before earning my Level 3 childcare qualification and stepping up to the management team. Now I am the Proud Manager
I’m a proud single mum to my energetic 8-year-old son, Louie, and my gorgeous baby girl, Athena-Louise, who turns 1 in December! In my spare time, I love visiting Home Bargains and B&M for a little retail therapy, browsing Vinted for great finds, and just enjoying moments with my kids.
I'm excited for all the fun ahead with everyone!

Hello! I’m Nicole, and I’m part of the management team here at A Bright Start Nursery, my role is assistant manager.
I’ve been in childcare for over 12 years, and I’ve spent the last 8 wonderful years at this nursery, which I absolutely wholeheartedly adore!
As a mum to a lively 6-year-old son and a delightful 3-year-old daughter, I truly understand both the joys and challenges that come with parenting. In my free time, my family and I love to travel and discover new places. We enjoy exciting adventures at soft play centres, parks, adventure golf, and swimming pools. My days are often busy making sure my kids have fun and can express themselves, whether it’s at ballet, karate, or swimming lessons.
In my role, I support Charlotte with implementing policies and procedures, staff development, and children's growth. It's important to us that we recognise every child as an individual so they can thrive and develop a strong sense of self-esteem and uniqueness.
I’m always here to help the team and answer any questions from parents, carers, and visitors.
I can’t wait to meet you all soon!
