Review from Emily D (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our eldest finished at Bright Horizons Romsey ahead of starting school and we were so thrilled with the experiences he has from going to local nursing homes, heading to the library in Romsey on the bus, having walks outside as well as having clear routines and he gained a strong sense of belonging there.

Our youngest is currently in the baby room and he adores it. Runs in, loves all the workers in the baby room, he feels safe and is really looked after there. They go on walks and have a lovely safe garden upstairs. He is developing well and does some lovely activities.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Romsey Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear how much your eldest enjoyed the experiences and sense of belonging during his time with us, and that your youngest is so happy and settled in the baby room. It is lovely to know he feels safe, is enjoying the activities, and developing well. Your kind comments mean a great deal to us.

Review from Louise W (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I was very sceptical of placing my child into a nursery and I was certainly very nervous.

From the moment I stepped foot into the nursery, I felt at ease. Everyone is so friendly and caring. My child is thriving each day and loves attending the nursery. They have become so confident, which is lovely to see. I feel comfortable knowing my child is in safe hands, and I couldn't think of a better nursery.

Overall Experience

We are so pleased with how our little one has been supported to settle into nursery. He was a little unsure to start with, but having a lovely, inviting environment with things to explore has been great. We have been lucky our child has developed a lovely relationship with his key worker, and her care, kindness and interest has been amazing. Thank you!

Wonderful nursery and staff. Only ever had positive experiences. In the last 6 months since joining Romsey Bright horizons we've created relationships with the staff. Our daughter has thrived and overcome some initial difficulties being away from us. This is all with the help of the nursery lead and team. We are impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail. The staff clearly enjoy what they do and this shows as our daughter enjoys her days there.

Review from K P (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The team at Bright Horizons Romsey are excellent at caring for our 4 year old. She comes home happy each day and has clearly developed strong bonds with her keyworkers.
The food isn't quite as good as when a previous member of staff was in the kitchen - my daughter doesn't eat as much as she used to.

The nursery has recently undergone a refresh and looks much better inside. Some money does need to be invested to tidy up the outside space a bit.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Romsey Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear your daughter is thriving with us. We appreciate your comments on the food and outdoor space and will look into improving them.

Review from P B (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The building is bright, airy and clean and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. The entrance is calm and the table of objects to explore is a particular favourite of my child. My child has struggled to settle at preschool, but the staff have taken time to help and support him, get to know him and provide him with the consistency and structure he needs. They encourage him to get involved when he would naturally do his own thing. They place and deliver exciting and stimulating activities which my child enjoys telling us about. It is lovely to see pictures on the app of what he's been doing and to find out his next steps. He enjoys the food and we've been impressed by the variety children are offered (plus it always smells good)!

Thank you to the entire team for all you do.
