I could not be more pleased with the Bright Horizons Didcot Nursery team. We moved from another nursery and have been so happy with what Bright Horizons offer (the staff, the menu, the environment etc). The staff are so welcoming and the nursery is extremely well-run - communication has been excellent and our child settled in so quickly. She is excited to go into nursery every time we drop her off and she runs into her room without looking back which is lovely to see. A huge thank you to Bright Horizons Didcot!
Hello, thank you for your five-star feedback and for sharing your experience with us. Thank you for leaving us a five-star review.
My daughter started in May 2023 and she settled down very quickly which was possible due to the lovely staff. I love everything about this nursery, the staff, the facilities and the updates on the app which keeps me at peace while at work knowing my daughter is doing well and enjoying her day.
Hi, we are so pleased to hear that you are happy with our nursery. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us your review.
My girl started nursery in February 2021. Since then I have seen a lot of growth and development in her. Her confidence has grown too. She loves to be in the nursery and play around with her friends. Thank you to all the staff members and management team who provide such good care for the children.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.
As you walk into the nursery the management team are always very welcoming and bubbly towards my son and me as a parent.
Hello, thank you for your 5-star review, we always appreciate hearing from our parents.
My daughter has been at the nursery for 6 months now and she absolutely loves it! Thanks to the lovely staff she settled very quickly and loves coming in every day. The nursery is very good at keeping parents updated and the communication is brilliant. All the staff are very warm and welcoming and the facilities for the babies are amazing. They do some wonderful activities which I love to see pictures of on the app Bright Horizons Didcot Day Nursery and Preschool offers, being able to see what my daughter is up to throughout the day.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. Do let the nursery know if there is anything we can improve?
Both my children attend Didcot, Bright Horizons and they have done since they were babies. I viewed quite a few nurseries, but from the second I saw Bright Horizons, I knew this was the one. State-of-the-art facilities, rooms very spacious and a very warm, happy environment. The staff are all amazing, excellent communication and provide a high level of care. I couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to look after my boys. Management also go out of their way to accommodate and look after you. My eldest has been attending for nearly four years and I will be very sad when he has to leave. Couldn't recommend enough.
Bright Horizons, Didcot is a well-organised, caring, fantastic preschool. Parents receive good communication and updates. The children have a wide range of themed activities and crafts. The staff are friendly and attentive to the children's needs.
My daughter started Bright Horizons Didcot in 2019 at aged 8 months. She has thrived in the setting. Staff are kind and comforting towards her. She has struggled with being left at times, but staff have always managed to reassure her and make her feel at ease.
To the manager and team. We wanted to send through our gratitude for organising the graduation for the preschool year of 2022. As one of the few kids who has been through all stages within the nursery and preschool, my son and his friends loved the preparation, the practice and the entire ceremony. It was excellently coordinated by all members involved. It was impressive to see the photo booths, the decorations, the music playlist and wide range of goodies in the bag! The food spread prepared too was splendid. As parents, we would like to thank all members for their support and effort in making the day memorable. Given the care, consideration and support to all the kids over the past years, the team ought to be applauded for going over and beyond. Many thanks for caring for our young ones, and for giving them a delightful start to their learning journey.
My son is leaving Bright Horizons Didcot this month after 2-3 really good years there. So many of the nursery nurses are so friendly and always have a smile on their faces, greeting the children really positively every day. My only point is that some of the staff are not quite so lively as others but still pleasant. The nursery really took an interest in his development when he joined which was very different to the nursery he had been at prior and his development really accelerated under that attention. The facilities are great and the daily updates through the app are fantastic so we can see what he is up to day to day. Through a difficult covid period the nursery handled the situation well, which was reassuring. I would highly recommend sending your children here. Thank you to the team
I cannot thank Bright Horizons Didcot enough for the way in which they have looked after and cared for our Son. He has thrived during his time with you all and talks so highly of all the staff every day. He thoroughly enjoys his days at pre school and we will both be upset in September when he leaves for big school. Thank you all so much.
I was very happy with the nursery as the staff are very friendly and responsible. My toddler girl loves to go to nursery every single day, to meet and play with her friends. Her communication has improved a lot and the assessment of her development was very useful.
I would most definitely recommend this nursery to others. The management and room staff have been excellent. Fantastic setting and our daughter has never raised any concerns about attending.
The staff and management are very friendly, helpful and professional and the atmosphere is fantastic! My son has lots of fun activities, which support his development. He is so happy going to nursery. Also, the app is great.
My son loves nursery, he is so happy to go in now at drop off and waves goodbye to us. The team in his room plan and carry out lots of fun activities such as painting, planting, cooking, obstacle course and many more that he loves getting stuck into. His key person has completed an assessment of his development and was able to talk us through each area. Couldn't recommend the nursery and whole staff team enough, they are all super friendly and helpful!
I was nervous about leaving my child as she has attachment issues but after her first two weeks of settling in, she made great progress. All members of staff both put me and my daughter at ease and she has been amazing and come a long way already. I am extremely pleased with how all members of staff, including management, have dealt with me returning to work and accommodating my daughter, working hard to get her settled into the nursery.
My daughter has attended Bright Horizons Didcot Day Nursery and Preschool for the last two and half years. Although my daughter has difficulties with separation and is often tearful at morning drop off, the staff are caring and attentive to her. She always settles quickly into her day and has fun with a wide range of activities. I really enjoy the daily updates via the app and find communication between myself and staff through the app very good. I think the staff are always considering how to help the children to develop themselves.
My son (now 2.5 years old), has attended the Didcot Day Nursery since he was ten months old. We are very happy with everything and the staff and management are great. He enjoys going to nursery and we feel that the activities and resources support his development and learning, very well. We are confident that he is well cared for and he has always had good relationships with the staff looking after him, particularly those who have been his key person/carer.
My daughter loves going to nursery and I like the atmosphere and staff taking care of children. Staff was very friendly and helpful. She has learnt so much and they also do such lovely activities for all the children.
All of the staff here are amazing and have been really great dealing with difficult conditions. Our son adores his key workers and always loves saying hello to all the staff outside his unit whenever he sees them. We’d be lost without them all!
