Review from Harriet A (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery full time since she was 9 months old and is now in the preschool department. I couldn’t recommend the nursery highly enough. All of the staff are brilliant and have supported my daughter throughout the nursery, we have really seen her develop and grow up so much since moving to the pre-school department, through the introduction of a positive learning structure provided by the nursery. We have recommended the nursery to friends and would continue to do so.

Bright Horizons at 44 St Swithin nursery is fantastic in all ways and I would highly recommend anyone to send their child there. My son has attended for almost 3 years since he was 9 months old and the care, attention and dedication that the team demonstrate is exemplary.

Overall Experience
Will forever be thankful for everything the staff at 44 does for my daughter. It really doesn’t feel like it is just a job for them; they truly care for her. 5-months only since she joined the nursery, and she absolutely loves it.
She was a fussy eater and can now eat pretty much everything, thanks to the brilliant girls at nursery.

Once again, a huge thank you for always going the extra mile to help.

Review from Stephanie (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The care our daughter receives from Bright Horizons at 44 St Swithin is exceptional from all members of staff. In just a short period of time, we have already seen vast developments within her socially and academically. After being very apprehensive about our daughter returning after lockdown the Manager and Preschool Lead went above and beyond to ensure little stress. The Preschool Lead has made the past 2 months back at nursery for our daughter most enjoyable, detailed reports of her day are given, her learning journal is always up to date and most importantly, our daughter is always happy.

Bright Horizons at 44 St Swithin has excellent facilities, toys, outdoor spacing, variety of food on offer but above all staff that genuinely care not only about the children but the families. One thing in particular that is noticed throughout the nursery is the encouragement children receive whether it be eating or building a puzzle, the staff always want to see the child succeed. I can't recommend the nursery enough for all ages.

Review from Norma D (Grandmother of Child) published on 1 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my grandsons have gone to 44 St Swithin Street, which says in itself how very satisfied we are with the experiences both boys have had during their time there. The younger child is currently in the "baby section" and will shortly be moving to "toddlers". He loves the days he goes to nursery. It is obvious he feels safe, secure and happy and we are delighted with the progress he has made over the last few months. The staff are caring and very professional. I would highly recommend 44 St Swithin Street to anyone looking for childcare.

Review from Simon S (Father of Child) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has attended 44 St Swithin since the age of 12 months (now 2 years 4 months) and we could not be happier with the level of care and support provided by the whole team at the nursery. From starting in the babies' room, transitioning and now being established with the infants' everything has been excellent and the staff are a fantastic credit to the organisation. Staff are kind, knowledgeable, attentive and thoroughly professional and the relationship that our son has built with each of them shines through in both his eagerness to attend and the enthusiasm that he shows on his return. His time at nursery and the efforts of the staff have contributed significantly to his development and we would have no hesitation in highly recommending this nursery.

Review from Ana T (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter started attending nursery in the baby room at 10 months and we have always been extremely happy with the care, love and safety provided. Since then, she has transitioned into infants and most recently to pre-school. 2020 has been a challenging year for us all, but the team in the nursery have been brilliant in keeping kids safe, happy and entertained at the same time as keeping parents informed and involved. Even in these tough times, we feel reassured every day our daughter attends nursery. I could not recommend it highly enough. Best nursery and our daughter loves it.

Review from Jamie W (Father of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a parent, the prospect of entrusting the daytime care of your child to someone else can be daunting, but we couldn't possibly be happier with the care and attention provided to our daughter by the Infant Team at 44 St Swithin Street, Bright Horizons.
They have established a very strong relationship with our child and us as parents, and provide a fun, secure and supportive environment in which she can play, learn and develop.

The ability to adapt their policies and procedures in the post-COVID world means we continue to feel that our daughter is receiving the very best care, and we couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. They are a great team!

Review from Rebecca S (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started the nursery when she was 11 months old and was the biggest clingy mummies girl. I didn't think it would go well! But the ladies in the babies room were so good with her she took no time to settle at all! They went out of their way to try and help me with her poor napping and were willing to try anything to get her sleep longer for me. I can't recommend them enough!

Overall Experience

I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. Our 2 year old started when she was 9 months old and has had a wonderful experience there every day. The staff are so caring, warm, and friendly. The communication between parents and staff is excellent. Our daughter loves going to nursery every day and has readjusted easily after being taken out for holidays. The new garden facility is fantastic. The staff are always looking for new ways to be innovative and I really like that they take them out into the community to libraries, parks etc. Our daughter is making excellent progress in all areas thanks to the wonderful staff.

Overall Experience

My eleven-month-old daughter started nursery in January. Like every parent, we want the best for our child, and I can say that I have made the best choice for her. She has been very happy from the first day, not crying for even a second. I also appreciate that the staff are so nice with her and with the rest of the children, taking care of every detail. I also appreciate that the kid's room is always clean.

Review from Francesca M (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have been extremely happy with the care our son has received so far. He is such a happy little boy and I'm so glad he's settled in so well. It's great to see him reach out to the girls as soon as we arrive in the mornings and he's never upset which is a huge comfort to me and my husband. Nursery has helped to really socialise our son and he is progressing so quickly. The staff are incredible and so nice and friendly. We are so happy we chose to send him to this nursery and can't wait to see him continue to progress.

Review from Deborah H (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has recently progressed to preschool and has come on leaps and bounds since moving up. She comes home eager to tell us about her day and what she and her friends have been doing. The girls let our daughter help prepare snacks and activities. They also spend time helping her recognise her letters and finding things starting with that letter. They also spend a good amount of time outside with the children on a wide range of activities. We certainly cannot recommend 44 St Swithin highly enough. Keep up the good work!

Review from Laura C (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
44 St Swithin is a wonderful nursery. They have cared for both of my children and I cannot fault them. The staff are so kind and friendly and very approachable. My daughters have both loved the girls there. Their day to day activities and learning are great, with a range of things to do from baking to reading, walking to the library to playing with toys.
The girls have always been well fed with a great range of different foods for them to try (often eating more than at home!) and the children are involved with the preparation of snacks and ideas on what to eat.

I enjoy telling people about 44 St Swithin and will always recommend them after our experiences with them.

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend this nursery, both my kids have come here (one is currently there). The staff are great, they genuinely care about the kids.

The kids get a good educational background before starting school as they have a primary school teacher which is a big plus for me.

They get well fed, get lots of outdoor and indoor play and do lots of fun activities.

Review from Rachael A (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We feel so grateful for the excellent level of care that our two children have had during their time at St. Swithin’s nursery. Our eldest, who is now in P2, was with the nursery all the way from the Babies department and each transition to the next stage has been seamless. Our youngest (now in the pre-school level) has been cared for so well. Both children have benefited from the nursery environment, not only from the activities and overall set-up that they have but more importantly from the way in which the staff interact and engage with the children on a daily basis. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and are so appreciative to all of the team at the nursery who work so hard to create such a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been at preschool for a month now and came from a Bright Horizons nursery at a different building which was a big change for him but he has settled in extremely well due to the staff there helping him to settle in. With them being very approachable to my child and in only a month his development has been wonderful from better manners to drawing skills.
