He has allergies and this has been handled brilliantly by the staff as this was a real worry for us, he eats better food at nursery than at home!
We would recommend this nursery saying our kid is in safe hands.
I am a little unhappy about the fee structure when compared to other nurseries but the services are good.
Brand new, purpose-built facility. Well thought out design, with babies based on the first floor with their own dedicated outdoor area, and toddlers based downstairs able to wander in and out of the garden as they please. The staff are extremely helpful and create a very supportive learning environment for our little ones. My son is very happy there.
My daughter was one of the first to attend the nursery when she was around six months. It has nearly been a year and she seems to be thoroughly enjoying it. The staff are always extremely happy and sweet and even the managers recognise my daughter when she comes in. They had arranged Mothers Day afternoon tea and Fathers Day event as well as sending homemade cards. We have a communication book which has detailed notes and they always add on any requested extra information by me. I love how they are always happy to do anything I ask, for example, I wanted them to tell me if her number two nappies were solid or soft.
The staff are friendly and welcoming and we feel that we can ask any questions without any concerns. The facilities are excellent and the menu is varied and interesting, and they seem to manage to get him to eat things he won't eat at home which is a miracle!
The overall "feel" of the nursery is inviting and positive and they have been able to add extra days at short notice with ease. We would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.
Since joining the Nursery, my lovely boy has developed in so many ways. My toddler loves the teachers very much. Thank you for all the hard work.
The Nursery is very friendly and open. I feel confident to discuss any issues with staff about my child's behaviour and learning. I feel secure in knowing that my child is having a fun and a safe experience. He comes home happy, having been at Pre-school and is always keen to come back the next day.
I’ve been really impressed with the Bright Horizons Didcot Nursery staff. My son is two and a half and has always come home full of excitement and bursting to tell me what he’s been up to all day.
The staff have always seemed very kind to my son. Always greeting him by name, and always seeming to have built a good rapport whenever I drop him off.
On the one occasion that staff needed to contact me during day at nursery it was very quick and efficient, with a sound explanation of the problem and steps taken to resolve it and ensure my son is cared for in the correct manner.
I’d like to thank the team (especially his key worker) for always being attentive to my son, keeping him busy and entertained and for all the many exciting little lessons he’s learned during his time at Bright Horizons Didcot.
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough! We moved to Didcot last year and I was nervous about the transition for the kids. We had fabulous support from everyone and my kids loved it from the very first day. They talk about the activities, the staff, their new friends and enjoy going to nursery. The rooms, the food and the outdoor space are excellent. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. We are all very happy.
This Bright Horizons is an excellent nursery for our child who loves attending. Staff are friendly, attentive and are helpful at all times. No request has, so far, been an issue!
My Daughter recently moved to this nursery and she is so happy at Didcot. She is keen to arrive each day and greets her friends and staff with a big grin. She eats very well always having seconds. I have seen such an improvement with her learning, happiness and behaviour. The staff are wonderful and do an amazing job. I would definitely recommend Didcot to friends.
Our little girl has been in nursery for the last nine weeks and has come on leaps and bounds since. From crying when we first dropped her off, to putting her arms out to staff in this amount of time is brilliant and very reassuring. She is always happy when she comes home, developmentally she has come on and it’s lovely to see photos from her day and any paintings she may have done.
Very happy with the room staff in acorns. They made our daughters transition to nursery as smooth as it could be and did a great job with her. Two particular girls were absolutely brilliant. The food menu is amazing and she gets better food than we do in the day, in fact, can we come for lunch?
The rooms and outdoor space are excellent, my son loves time outside running around. He enjoys trying different foods at nursery and the children are provided with plenty of healthy meals.
Overall, very happy with this nursery and would definitely recommend. Starting nursery was a stress-free transition for us. Thank you!
The staff at Bright Horizons Didcot Day Nursery and Preschool are great. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children. We have two children at this nursery and they’re both happy to be there. We feel confident when we leave them in the mornings because we know the staff are taking good care of them. We would recommend this nursery to other families without reservation.
This is a fantastic Nursery. Our daughter has been attending since October 2018 and her speech and confidence has grown. She has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the staff. They learn something new every day and we love that they play outside in the fresh air every day, which we think is extremely important. Huge bonus is that they provide nappies, wipes, snacks and properly cooked meals, which are included in the fee.
The staff are excellent, down to earth, lovely and above all extremely capable. We feel relaxed leaving our daughter there because we feel so reassured that she is going to be well looked after and have a lot of fun.
My daughter transferred to the Didcot site from another Bright Horizons Nursery; I couldn't be happier. The care, compassion, enthusiasm and professionalism of the team are second to none. After her first day, my daughter said that her careers were 'the best in the whole wide world'. She loves going and has settled in fantastically. The variety of daily activities keeps my daughter stimulated. She is learning so much and talks so positively about her day. Communication with the team is fantastic; so welcoming. The management team are always on hand and couldn't be more helpful. Can't rate Didcot Day Nursery and Preschool highly enough.
An excellent nursery! Staff have helped with the transition and made me feel really confident about leaving my daughter in their care. They are informal about what she has been up to throughout her day, with regular pictures so I don't feel I am missing out on precious moments. The management team have been extremely helpful and friendly with anything I have needed.
My little boy has recently started at the nursery. The settling in sessions are informative and thorough. The staff are all efficient and aware of his needs. The communication is great and we are always made aware of how he has been throughout the day and what he has enjoyed doing. The activities available to him are varied and the room always looks exciting.
The manager is always welcoming and will support with any questions.
I would defiantly recommend the nursery.
Beautiful brand new equipment which is used daily.
