We have nothing but good feedback regarding bright horizons. They have helped our daughter develop into a wonderful young girl after a difficult start in life. We are always assured she is safe and happy here, and is learning as well as playing every day.
Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback! We're delighted to see your daughter thriving and happy every day.
We couldn't be more delighted with the care and service we have had over the past few years from the team at Bright Horizons Winchester. They are simply the most wonderful team of friendly, hard working and truly caring people. The amount of times a team member has gone up and beyond for our son is countless. Communication is always faultless. We always feel up to date and in touch with our son's nursery experience, and love seeing the photos of all of the amazing activities he's got up to. We would highly recommend the nursery to anyone, our son loves it there.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled your son enjoys his time here. Thank you for your recommendation.
BH Winchester is a lovely environment, where the children are cared for and stimulated in equal measure. Staff know the children well and provide extensive feedback. The pre-school room does an excellent job of getting them ready for school.
Thank you for your review. We're thrilled to learn that you have a wonderful experience at our nursery. Thank you for choosing us!
My child was at bright horizons from 9 months til she left to start school. Highly recommend this nursery. There is a low turn over of staff - always a good indicator - and they genuinely know all the children really well. My child was happy there and well looked after
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased your child had such a happy experience with us. It means a lot to hear your kind words about our team and your recommendation!
Our daughter started school this September. The BH Winchester team prepared her so well, she marched straight in to school on the first day as cool as a cucumber, and she loves it! She was with BH from the age of 6 months and has flourished because of it. Thanks all!
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to read your positive feedback and we're thrilled to hear your daughter is thriving at our nursery.
My Son has been at Bright Horizons Winchester for the last two years. The care he has received has been on the whole excellent. The nursery is well managed and organised, keeping us well informed re admin issues. The app is great and facilitates the sharing of information. We feel our son has been very well looked after and supported in his development. The nursery puts safety has a top priority and we are always told promptly regarding illness or bumps our son might have had. The vast majority of staff exude warmth and kindness and they put great activities on every day for the children to engage with. Whilst he is not always thrilled to be going into nursery at 8am, he always appears happy when I pick him up, typically reading a book or playing a game. Finally, the food is good, exposing the children to a range of different food types and we informed about what he has eaten and how much. Ps whilst the outdoor space appears small, it is incredibly well utilised.
Thank you for your 5-star review and positive feedback; we truly appreciate your kind words about the team.
Wonderful nursery and preschool - I'm so delighted we picked it for our boy. He had not been happy at previous nurseries, we had months and months of difficult drop-offs but at Bright Horizons, Winchester, he settled so quickly and trotted in happily from week one. The staff are incredible, so caring and attentive to the kids. Our boy has started school now, after 2 wonderful years with this team. He was totally ready. We're always going to remember the wonderful graduation the staff put on before the kids left, it was beautiful. He was so excited about school and ready for the next step, but sad to leave such a special place. In one teary moment, he said 'I don't want to leave somewhere where everything makes me so happy'. I'm always going to be grateful for everything these guys did for our child. With love and thanks.
Thank you for your 5-star review and for sharing your positive feedback with us!
Our second child has just finished at this nursery, meaning that we've been going there for a total of eight years! We're sad to leave as they have both been so happy there. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone, especially because of the wonderful, caring staff. Thank you.
Thank you for your heartfelt review! The nursery has been honoured to have been a part of your family's journey for the past eight years. It's wonderful to hear that both of your children were so happy at our nursery. We truly appreciate your kind words about our caring staff and your recommendation. Wishing your family all the best!
Both of my children are at this wonderful nursery, the eldest from 9 months and he is now in preschool. The care they have received is outstanding and the nursery staff now feel like good friends and family. Cannot recommend it enough - there is always excellent advice and support on hand too if certain issues need addressing. The app is brilliant and we love the feedback on nursery days that we receive from it. Thanks so much to the team at Bright Horizons Winchester Day Nursery and Preschool. You have made nursery feel like a home to our boys.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that both of your children have had such a positive experience at Bright Horizons Winchester. It's wonderful that the staff have become like friends and family to you.
My son didn't speak English when he started the nursery as he is an ELS (English as a Second Language) child. But the atmosphere in the nursery was so warm and cosy that it helped him to feel relaxed and safe, so he was eager to learn the language. He told me: 'Thank you that you chose the best nursery for me'. We both are very happy with Bright Horizons and recommend it.
Hello, thank you so much for your positive feedback and for recommending us!
I can't recommend this nursery enough, it made the transition from maternity leave to working again more comfortable.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you feel comfortable and confident having your child at Bright Horizons Winchester. It's great to know that the nursery activities and communication through the app have made your transition back to work easier. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
The nursery were always available for questions or queries and that really helped to feel confident to leave your child with them.
They posted regular updates on the App, and this means you're kept in the loop with the goings on. This is important, especially when there is an outbreak of something such as chicken pox!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that your daughter had a fantastic time at Bright Horizons Winchester and that she enjoyed sharing her fun stories with you. It's great to know the staff made such a positive impact, and we appreciate your acknowledgment of our communication and updates.
My daughter spent over 2 years at bright horizons, and within that time I didn't have one concern about her safety, eating, or environment within the nursery. The management and all other staff are amazing at providing the best care for the children, if I was to have any more children I would 100% choose this nursery again.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter had such a positive experience at Bright Horizons over the past two years. It's wonderful to know that you felt completely confident in her safety and care. Thank you for your support.
When my child joined the nursery, he was delayed in his communication and we did receive tremendous support from the nursery staff to assist him in settling down.
By the time my child left the nursery to join Primary school, he had improved massively in his communication and other areas which he struggled in.
I can't recommend the nursery enough, am very grateful for their support.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that our open-door communication policy made it easy for you to access support when you needed it. It's heartwarming to know that our staff played a significant role in your child's development and transition to primary school. Thank you for your recommendation.
The staff are experienced and caring and kind.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
Everyone is always so warm and friendly. The nursery genuinely cares for your child and their needs. My daughter is both well looked after and also well stimulated with all the activities they do throughout the day. Wonderful team! Can't recommend enough.
Thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us. Thank you for your recommendation.
All staff are very welcoming in the morning and really get the feel of very personal care and knowledge of my child. Outdoor experiences are as wide as indoor experiences and daily updates and pictures prove my child is very happy here.
Hello, thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
My son has just left Bright Horizons and I can honestly say they have always gone above and beyond for my son and to support me. They have met his needs on every level by putting things into place to help him and his anxiety and attachment to familiar faces. His key workers have always been chosen in his best interests and got to know him and his routines and little ways. They have helped him grow in so many ways from self esteem, independence and more. They got to know him personally and were able to mange and support him in every way possible. Manager and the management team have been there to support me and my son in every way possible, they go above and beyond in every way they possibly can. I couldn’t thank them enough for all that they do.
My son has recently started at Bright Horizons, Winchester and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the environment. He has settled extremely well and loves going in each morning. The staff ensure your routine is adhered to as well as offering a wide variety of meals and snacks for him to enjoy. The setting provides great space both indoors and outdoors so my son is always stimulated and exploring something new!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your positive feedback. We are thrilled your little son has now settled into the nursery and is thriving.

Meet the Team (2)
I am extremely passionate about each child thriving to their full potential. I am committed to providing outstanding care, education and opportunities for all children in an inclusive and stimulating environment.
I started with Bright Horizons in January 2021. I hold a B.A Honors Degree in Early Childhood Studies (Level 6) and Level 3 Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENCo).
These qualifications have supported my interests in children's development and teaching. Additionally, the importance of a strong parent partnership.
I have been working in a nursery setting for 8 years. I started as a holiday cover whilst at college completing my Level 3 qualification. I have worked with lots of wonderful practitioners and children who have helped me develop my practice along the way and become the Deputy Manager. I am very fortunate to be working in a nursery setting, as I love nothing more than providing opportunities and watching children develop.
