They really are fantastic with my daughter and provide her with a clean and safe environment.
she has multiple intolerances and the nursery have all the plans in place to help with this and call to check if they are unsure if she can have certain foods, which is a big relief for myself and my partner.
My two daughters attend this wonderful nursery. All the staff are loving, caring and always happy to help you with anything you need. Both my girls have come on leaps and bounds since starting here and they have both become very confident. They are always happy and excited when I say we are going to nursery and come home with learning something new each time. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare in Chelmsford.
My daughter has attended this nursery for the last 4 months. The staff were fantastic at helping her settle in and she thrives from the activities that she does when she is there. She really enjoys attending and comes home talking about all of the fun and educational things she has done there. The meals she is given are always varied and healthy. My daughter recently potty trained and the nursery were brilliant at taking over from me when she was in their care. I am extremely pleased with the nursery and can not fault it at all.
They have a safety mascot called Candy Floss which allows the children to have a clear visual indication as to whether something is allowed to be used by them. The food the children eat is well thought out to provide balanced nutritional meals throughout the day. I am so happy with this nursery and can't fault it in the slightest.
My son loves going to Bright Horizons in Chelmsford. The staff are lovely, helpful and very supportive with helping my son develop. The nursery is a fun and safe environment with lots of great things for the kids to do. I would highly recommend this nursery.
My son has settled in really well at Bright Horizons. Still, early days but the staff seem lovely and accommodating. The nursery is new and welcoming, we have made the right choice.
All the staff are lovely and the manager has been amazing from day one.
Our son has come on leaps and bounds since being at Bright Horizons.
We also love how proactive they are in terms of admin.
This was definitely the right nursery for him and would highly recommend to any parents looking for a nursery in Chelmsford.
Having recently moved, we were so pleased to be able to join the Beaulieu Chelmsford nursery, just as it was opening, so our daughter had the consistency moving from one Bright Horizons nursery to another. Fabulous personal tour, such friendly and caring staff throughout. You know they genuinely care about your child and their development and wellbeing. Our daughter loves her time at nursery and sometimes doesn't want to leave! She has developed so much and has great relationships with the other children and carers. Can't recommend highly enough.
We really like the set up of the rooms with different zones and sturdy furniture and toys.
The sleeping room is very well thought out and looks lovely and comfortable. The playground and the terrace outside are excellent.
The team at Bright Horizons are all lovely, caring and responsible. We are very happy to have chosen Bright Horizons to care for our daughter.
Excellent facilities and welcoming, professional and caring staff. My daughter was experiencing a lot of anxiety at her previous preschool so we moved her here hoping it would help and it really has. The staff were so understanding and communication with parents is excellent which also helped my worries about my daughter having another change.

Meet the Team (2)
I have been part of the Bright Horizons family since 2009, joining Chelmsford in 2019. I hold an NVQ Level 3 Qualification and thrive in creating a stimulating, enabling environment for our children to grow and develop to their best potential.
At Chelmsford, we as a team work together to ensure the children in our care are happy, safe and flourishing throughout their nursery experience. My own son also attends the nursery, I can see from his developmental journey as well as his smile every day that my team are creating and delivering the highest standards of care to each and every child and their family.
I have worked for Bright Horizons since 2008 whilst studying for my level diploma in child development at Harlow College. I started as a student and worked my way up to Deputy Manager.
I have recently passed my level 2 mental health awareness qualification and level 2 counselling skills. I am extremely interested in furthering my career.
I thrive on achieving my goals and supporting and promoting our Nursery staff.
My passion lies in ensuring children in our care develop and flourish to their best abilities whilst supporting our families in our safe and secure environment.
