Bright Horizons Chelmsford Day Nursery and Preschool

Superb place for our baby. Loving and caring staff and great superb facilities. The management staff is always around to make sure you leave that place happy and little one loves being there, so I guess that is the best positive review you can have.

I am so pleased we chose Bright Horizons Chelmsford Day Nursery for our children. We have been through every single room and encountered pretty much every member of staff and ALL of them have been utterly attentive and supportive of our daughter’s needs over the last 3 years. The activities that the children do are engaging and fun, offering opportunities that I couldn’t at home e.g using a light box, programming a bug as well as core skills - maths and English. The app allows continuous communication throughout the day - I know everything about their days from toileting, bottles, food consumption and of course fab photos of what they are doing. Management go above and beyond. They are so friendly and approachable and really care about the experience of parents and children. In terms of safeguarding, I feel my children are very well protected. We get calls for all bumps/plasters etc. Accident forms are completed, and any incidents with other children are dealt with sensitively and quickly. 10/10 from us!

Would highly not recommend this nursery until the managers are changed. I will be going to Ofsted about this nursery!

My daughter has been coming to Bright Horizons Chelmsford Day Nursery and Preschool for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with how she has settled and also progressed in herself since then. The staff are amazing and are always so kind and caring. My daughter also loves coming and it's so nice to see her go in and come out so happy. Wouldnt recommend anywhere else!

We have had a fantastic experience. My son's development has come so far and I praise the staff and how attentive they've been. The management are so friendly and always updating us on changes and what my son is up to. I can't recommend them enough and am so glad I found Bright Horizons.

My daughter loves it here, she has attended since nine months old and is now two and a half, I feel so happy she enjoys herself so much and is excited to go in on the days she attends. The staff are all brilliant and so caring, they really take an interest in your child and personal aspects of their life. I feel my daughter has learnt so much while in attendance and would recommend it to anyone!

My son has recently started in one of the toddler rooms and although we are still getting used to the change I can see that he does enjoy it when he is there. All of the staff we have met so far have made the whole experience for both mummy and son so much easier. Their constant reassurance and updates are such a comfort. He is loving the reading corner and the garden. I would highly recommend Bright Horizons Chelmsford to any parent.

Our little boy enjoyed the baby room briefly pre-lockdown and has loved settling into the toddler group on his return. There's a good variety of activities (and food!) which he really looks forward to. Now he's starting to remember more and tell us about what he's been up to, it's clear that he has a whale of a time, and he's always worn out by home time! The garden space is lovely, and indoors there's plenty going on to keep them learning while having fun. Being an only child we are so pleased our little boy has made lots of friends. He's comfortable to nap there and the staff have been extremely supportive with potty training recently, following our lead and giving us feedback on how he's doing. The nursery itself is clean, bright, colourful and welcoming. More importantly all the staff are so friendly and really do an excellent job. Our little boy absolutely adores his key workers and often chats about them, and it means the world to us to know he is so well looked after.

Modern, clean and refreshing nursery ideally located with plenty of parking. Plenty of activities, my little one particularly loves the outdoor space and activities. The menus are varied and nutritional. The crackers and fruit snacks are favourites. The children seem to bond really well so there is obviously a great atmosphere.

My son loves going to nursery. Every time he has a huge smile on his face at pick up and he tells me all about his day with such enthusiasm that it makes me want to attend with him. He has developed an extreme amount since starting nursery and is very confident with kids. Both his father and I regard the staff at Bright Horizons as our extended family and we are grateful for them for looking after our little one with such care, kindness and professionalism.

I was very sceptical about taking my daughter into the nursery as she was so shy and I couldn’t take her in due to the pandemic, but I couldn’t believe it she doesn’t even wave at me at times. I’m nervous about her going to preschool as there is a man working there she’s really shy around men. I couldn’t thank the girls enough for working alongside my daughter and myself with speech and language, the girls called me saying they think she’s got a urine infection they helped so much collecting her wee for me. I have worked in a nursery since I was 15 years old and I knew what I was looking for and wanting and honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better nursery for my daughter! Thank you all for helping her to come out of her shell, she loves nursery and can’t wait to go.

Bright Horizons at Beaulieu is amazing. My little girl has gone from the Baby Room to Toddlers and is absolutely thriving with caring and passionate staff, clean facilities and a lovely garden/play area. All of the other children that go there are fantastic and she talks about them at bedtime. The front end staff are excellent and accommodating and I fully trust that she is in good hands when I drop her off. A+ nursery.

Highly recommend!

I couldn’t have asked for a better environment for my daughter, and she loves each day spent there.

From our first visit to Bright Horizons, I immediately knew I wanted to send my son there. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the nursery rooms, garden and facilities were fantastic. All the management team are approachable and know all the children and parents. The room leaders and nursery nurses are all amazing and my son comes home talking about them. Going back to work and leaving my son somewhere new was hard but I can honestly say that he loves being there and he has become more confident and independent as a result. I can not recommend this nursery highly enough.

The facilities are fantastic, we highly recommend this nursery to all.

The staff at this nursery have welcomed us as a family from day one and immediately put us at ease. We are now almost a year in and we continue to be delighted with everything that they do. They have made returning to work so much easier for me as I know my child is in the absolute best care. I cannot recommend these genuinely kind and caring superstars enough.

We know that whilst there she eats and sleeps well, she has lots of fun and has made friends in both the adults and other children. Management are all visible, very involved and easy to communicate with, and clearly know all the children well.

Fantastic nursery with outstanding staff. When dropping off and picking up our one-year-old, we can see on her face how much she enjoys being there. Every day there are different fun activities, including singing, dancing, painting, etc. even for the youngest children. We are very happy to have chosen this nursery for our child.

The first day my daughter attended this nursery she loved it. The staff are all fantastic, very welcoming and attentive to children's needs. My daughter is in the preschool room, she talks about the staff and all the fun activities they provide. Her confidence has grown and continues to grow. The environment is lovely, new and clean, they have everything a child could ask for to support their development. My daughter enjoys when they have the stay and plays events for parents and loves to show me all her favourite activities.

I absolutely love this nursery and so does my son. He started just before a year old and as any new mum, I was anxious about leaving him with anyone other than myself. It turns out I had nothing to worry about as my son enjoys coming to nursery three days a week. The staff are lovely and really attentive to my son's needs but also my own. The management team are always available if needed and are extremely helpful. The chef is also lovely and my son never leaves a meal unfinished!
