Review from Hannah J (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at the nursery back in January and we have nothing but nice things to say about the nursery and the staff.
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Deborah K (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Debby P (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attends this nursery 2 days a week and I couldn't be happier with the care he is given whilst there. The staff are always so inviting and friendly. The activities they do with the children are amazing, they are always doing something outside the basic expectations that most nurseries have to provide. My son has done baking, whilst at the nursery and once he moves up to pre-school in September, he will have ICT available to him.

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.

Review from Lisa S (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
The premises and the facilities provided are outstanding.
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.

Overall Experience

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.
