Review from Nicola W (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Leatherhead Day Nursery and Preschool is a lovely nursery. My youngest child now attends, following my eldest who left four years ago. It’s been lovely to come back to. They have taught a lot in the five months he has been there and is so happy going in! It’s a great nursery to transition from their preschool room to big school.

Review from Jasmine L (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery has been an excellent childcare setting for both my children. My daughter loved her time there before she left in 2023 to attend preschool. The staff knew her well and were extremely supportive. My son has now joined the baby room and, once again, the staff have been very welcoming and nurturing. They have really taken the time to get to know him and support him with his developmental needs. As a result, he seems to be happy and thriving. Would highly recommend.

Review from Estera H (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery was the best choice for my 2-year-old daughter. She loves going there. The teachers are well educated and trained, kids do lots of activities and are in the garden a lot. They eat very healthily too. Another of my children started on the 11th of March 2024 and she already is changing so much, sharing toys, and sitting nicely by the table. Honestly cannot recommend them enough!

Review from E S (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I registered my son to start Bright Horizons Leatherhead this term.
I had a very warm welcome from management and the team!
I was shown around the nursery which me and my son instantly fell in love with.
My son seemed very comfortable walking around the nursery and eager to get involved with the other children which was a clear indication that this is the nursery he belongs at. As a mother, I couldn’t ask for more knowing that my son is in very safe hands and is thriving through his early years journey at Bright Horizons.
This is by far the best decision we have made and it has given him the best start towards school transitioning in the future.

I love the constant updates through the app and the safeguarding practices they have in place, I would highly recommend!

Review from Porsche B (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am over the moon with this nursery, especially with my son’s key person. I honestly believed this would be like another chain nursery but it has such an independent, small nursery feel. I get daily, sometimes twice-a-day, updates on my child and then I also get a detailed update when I collect him. I would never consider another nursery, they are perfect. My son is always so excited to see his key person and to walk through the front door.

The team are incredible; warm, welcoming and clearly care about the children.
I get regular updates on how my child is doing each day, with pictures. It puts my mind at ease and allows me to plan ahead for mealtimes and bedtime.

I'm particularly impressed by the food offered and activities undertaken each day.

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons in Leatherhead. My daughter attended part-time from 12 months to starting school in September and my 3-year-old son is still there. The staff are really friendly and my children both speak highly of their 'teachers'. They both settled in quickly and made strong friendships with other children. There are always a wide variety of activities and I think these really helped my daughter prepare for school. There is a lovely outside area which is used regularly. You also get updates on the app with photos of what the children are doing and updates on how well they have eaten/slept etc.

Overall Experience

My little one has been at Bright Horizons for over a year and thoroughly enjoys it. Super kind and friendly staff; they're always so welcoming. The food is really varied as are the activities. I get daily updates on the app, plus more detailed reviews of my child's development and behaviour, which is great to see. The staff have also given me brilliant advice when needed, which is really valuable as a first-time parent. Would definitely recommend Bright Horizons in Leatherhead!

Overall Experience
My son started at Leatherhead Bright Horizons in September 2023.
The staff are some of the loveliest people I've met. The app is fantastic and gives me such a boost when I get the updates through the day while at work.

It's the best decision we've made as a family to join Bright Horizons Leatherhead, I just can't imagine him being happier anywhere else.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Leatherhead have been so accommodating with our daughter and are very flexible. We particularly like their communication throughout the day on the app - we are able to keep up to date on the activities and schedule of the children. Our daughter has thrived at the nursery and has learnt so much. We feel very confident with the care provided and always have a happy child come home.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended this nursery from age 11 months until age 5. They are an amazing nursery with a great team of staff. We always got a warm welcome from the receptionist each drop off/collection. The staff really bonded well with our daughter and she always felt at ease going there. The chef made very tasty meals according to our little one too! The staff really helped develop our daughters speech and confidence ready for big school. We will always look fondly back on her time at this nursery. They really helped with our daughter's speech delay and made sure we had the correct referrals in place for additional help for our daughter. We felt she went the extra mile and was happy to liaise with our daughters new school ensuring it would be a smooth transition for our daughter. Our daughter had her first day at big school today and she did great. No tears and had lots of fun. We are sure this was down to everything the nursery did to help get her ready for the transition.

My daughter is very happy here. She started in June and soon adapted to being in nursery than being at home. She has lots of friends here now and she wants us to draw pictures of them on paper. The staff are very communicative and great with the children. I am very happy that we sent her here.

Review from Holly B (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has attended Bright Horizons Leatherhead Day Nursery and Preschool for almost nine months now and we couldn’t be happier with him there. As soon as we looked around we could feel the warm and safe environment that it is and that comes from all the staff not just the staff in his room. We are always given a comprehensive rundown of what he has been up to at the door when we collect, this is followed up by a handwritten daily report from his key worker, who clearly takes the time to get to know each child and their individual needs.

Review from Ami P (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Overall I am really happy with how my 2-year-old twins have settled into the nursery since joining in September last year. From our very first visit to look around, the team were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They’ve made a real effort to get to know my children and help them settle in. The manager and the team are always very approachable and available to answer any questions. They’ve been particularly helpful during the Covid times when they are having to deal with stressful and unsettling situations which I really appreciate. My only build would be to provide more consistent feedback on child development and interactions (maybe like a Tapestry type app) as well as clearer information on their slips coming home each day. Overall would definitely recommend.

Bright Horizons Leatherhead Day Nursery and Preschool is a well-run nursery with excellent staff. The actual nursery is spotless and well equipped. My son also loves the food here which is varied and nutritious.
My son has been attending the nursery for 4 months now (from the age of one) and has really thrived in the warm, fun environment here. We love the daily reports written by his key worker - from day one she has really understood my son’s personality and what he likes/dislikes.

I highly recommend this nursery.

I find myself recommending Bright Horizons Leatherhead Day Nursery and Preschool to every one of my friends in the local area who is looking for a nursery - my daughter has been at the nursery full time for a year now and she absolutely loves it.

The women there do a wonderful job, especially given the current Covid restrictions - every effort is made to ensure that we get a great debrief at the end of each day on what the children have been up to!

Lorraine Job Title: Nursery Manager
Lorraine

Hi, I am Lorraine and I'm the Nursery Manager.

I have over 25 years of experience in childcare and over 15 years in managerial roles. Giving children the best opportunity in life is why I have worked in the childcare sector for so long, it's such a rewarding profession to work in.

Seeing children develop and grow and working together as a team to offer the best for the next generation!

Susan Job Title: Deputy Manager
Susan

I have been working in childcare settings for 17 years and at Bright Horizons Leatherhead since April 2021 after taking some time out from a 12-year career in an NHS day nursery to have my 2 little boys. I started here as the Room Lead for Preschool, and in August 2021 become the deputy manager here working alongside Eve and the team.

I have previously worked my way up the career ladder, starting as a nursery assistant to a nursery nurse and then to room lead where I remained for 10 years of my 12-year NHS career.

I strive to enable all children and families to receive the best possible care and give firm foundations for life, through communication and partnership working. I also enjoy seeing individuals grow and develop, so I also support staff to complete their NVQ and training, being their mentor.

I am NVQ level 5 childcare qualified and also have a level 3 NVQ in management. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of nursery life, from meeting parents and families, and working both as a team or independently, where no two days are ever the same, and I find growth such an important thing for myself, to both enhance my own professional development and the nursery team too.
