My daughter started in September and I can't tell you how much she loves it! The staff are lovely and caring, they go above and beyond. Pre-school itself is such a warm and inviting place for the children to feel at ease and welcome. I can't fault Brightfields at all. I had concerns over my daughter's speech and they have been there every step to help and support both of us. So lucky to have such an amazing pre-school in the village!
Well done ladies!!

I took my 3 year old out of childminding and into preschool for the term before he started school. He really struggled with confidence and we wanted him to get used to an environment with more children. They brought his confidence on so much in one term that he had no problems starting big school. My youngest now attends and again his confidence has skyrocketed. The staff are great and keep you right up to date with development ideas etc. My youngest loves going here and I would recommend it to anyone that asked.

Having been through the whole nursery process with my two older boys (who both went to other settings) I can whole heartily say that the team at Brightfields are outstanding and far outdo any setting I have experienced in the past. My little girl had a nervous start to nursery, but with the care and attention of the ladies, she now skips in every morning. A big thank you to the whole team for making my little girls first experience of the schooling system such a wonderfully positive one!

Our son has just started at Brightfields, but so far, we have found the staff are friendly, polite and honest. We were struggling to find a preschool that could offer the hours we needed. They have gone beyond to make our son feel welcome. He loves it at Brightfields.

A small setting allowing children to get the attention they need to fully develop for a primary setting. Out of the box thinking by staff to ensure learning is no chore for the children. The staff treat the children as if they were their own. Lots of different activities for children to enjoy.

My daughter has been going to Brightfields since January 2021, and she has absolutely loved the nursery from day 1. She has made a lot of friends and always talks about the whole Brightfields staff and her friends during her sleep. I can't be more pleased with the nursery and the activities that the Birghfields staff arrange for the kids (the songs, science experiments, arts, dancing.. the list goes on). Need not say the staff are very caring and I always get detailed feedback of how my daughter's day has been. Even during these tough times, the team has made sure that everyone is safe and follows the safety protocol day in and out, which is very evident. Thank you Brightfields for caring and nurturing my little one, I couldn't be more pleased and will always recommend the nursery and the associated staff to anyone who is looking for a nursery.

Nearly a whole year since my eldest started nursery here, and she loves it. She’s built amazing friendships and adores all ladies that work with her. My youngest starts in September, and I honestly can’t wait to see how she blossoms at Brightfields.

Brightfields has provided a great start to pre-school for our 3-year-old daughter, who can be very shy. After so long in lockdown, we were worried about how she’d get on in such a stimulating setting, but she has settled and engaged brilliantly. The staff have always been contactable and seem to interact with the children really well. There have been regular updates with photos of what she’s been up to. Overall, it’s a lovely, nurturing environment and we’re really happy and confident about sending our daughter there.
