Bright Horizons Winchester Day Nursery and Preschool

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.

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!

My daughter gives a cheer whenever I say it’s nursery day - what better reaction can you get from that! I absolutely love the staff here. You can tell from the offset they are passionate about early years and have taken great care to get to know my daughter as an individual. I was recommended this nursery through a friend and couldn’t be happier since joining over 8 months ago. My daughter is one very happy customer and I am certainly one very happy parent. Thank you to all the brilliant staff. You make this the outstanding nursery that it is.

Our daughter is very much enjoying her time at Bright Horizons, Winchester. The staff are experienced, caring and welcoming. They engage our daughter in activities and are very diligent in updating her profile on the app, to explain what they are working on. Perhaps the most notable point is there is no/limited staff turnover. This is a huge plus for our daughter, as she spends time consistently with the same people.

Daughter is in the baby room here. She has a great relationship with the staff and seems very settled, which is a testament to the team and management! The app works well and we can see regularly throughout the day what she is up to. An ongoing thank you from us!

The nursery fees are very expensive and the fact that the fees have been raised twice in a year is shocking. I haven't had 2 pay reviews in my work despite all prices increasing.

Our children have a really good time together with learning new skills like how to eat in their own. All staff is really good and friendly. We are attending for almost two years now since they were 7 months.

Staff have always been amazing with my son. He comes out with a smile on his face and lots of things to tell me that he has done. Had a parent's evening last night and was lovely to hear comments about how he is doing, making goals with me to make sure he is getting the best out of Bright Horizons.

Every single member of staff from all rooms of the nursery are friendly and helpful. My child loves being at nursery and has come a long way since attending. I feel confident she's in the best hands when I'm at work.

Since my first look around I've been really impressed with the setting and the team within it. Communication about my child has been regular and detailed giving me plenty of opportunity to understand how he is getting on developmentally. The team are professional, friendly and supportive.

We have nothing but praise for Bright Horizons, Winchester and its wonderful staff. It is clear that the staff care deeply for the children in their care and are invested in helping encourage loving, curious and resilient individuals to learn and grow. We especially enjoy the cooking activities from their in-house chef and the focus on outdoor play.

He has thrived in the past year and made some lovely friends too. The staff go over and above to make sure they have a range of indoor and outdoor activities (come rain or shine!).

My son has attended the nursery since September 2022 this year, overall our experience has been great. All staff members have been welcoming and reassuring. Im satisfied my son is being cared for appropriately and his care is person-centred.

The nursery manager and all the staff are so friendly and have really helped my daughter settle into nursery. Nothing is too much trouble and they always make us feel so welcome. They have great activities set up every day and provide experiences for the children to learn skills and independence. My daughter often comes home singing or doing something new. They are offered great, freshly cooked meals and snacks, which my daughter always enjoys!

Really lovely nursery, our daughter has settled extremely well and is excited to be dropped off each morning. She enjoys telling us all about what she has been up to during the day when we collect her.

Bright Horizons, Winchester, since visiting last year, got our heart, we loved it straightway, environment, space and staff. Very welcoming, caring and friendly, always thinking of our children. My baby daughter started with visits in September and then twice a week over October and November, but unfortunately due to higher prices need to decrease to once a week; we will carry making the effort to have our girl there. From the third in charge to three other staff members in particular and other staff, they are all lovely, we trust them without any concerns.

When the team received their outstanding Ofsted rating, we weren't at all surprised. This is a great nursery. Our son attended for nearly four years before starting school and our daughter has now been attending for nearly two years. We couldn't be happier with the standard of care, warmth and commitment, shown by the team.

My son has been here three months and is settling very well. Staff all know him well and are very engaged and aware of his individual needs.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery.
