An inspiring purpose-built nursery in Horsham.

Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is located two miles west of Horsham town centre, with excellent road and rail connections. There is plenty of space for children to learn and explore, with six individual bright and airy age specific rooms for children from 3 months to 5 years.

The beautiful, purpose-built setting has been designed to ensure each room is tailored to different age groups and offer access to the large external play area for toddlers and preschool children, as well as a separate garden for babies.

Baby Room One, registered for babies aged 0-1 year old, has its own dedicated sleep room which is attached to the main room and allows for babies to sleep comfortably in a supervised, calm environment. The other baby rooms are specifically designed for more mobile babies, who are beginning to walk unaided and need more challenge in their environment.

With all-inclusive fees, which means you have less to pack on a busy morning, onsite meals are prepared with nutrition in mind. From healthy lunches and snacks to your chosen branded nappies and wipes included in the fees. Ofsted have rated the nursery as Good (February 2023).

The team are excited to be part of your child’s journey and look forward to meeting you and your little one soon. Book a personal tour with the nursery today!

I started sending my son to this nursery at just 6 months old. Being so anxious as he was so young I was completely put at ease by all the amazing friendly staff. He always seems so happy there and with the app, I can see what he is up to during the day. Everyone here is so friendly and approachable
and I would definitely recommend this nursery!

My daughter is always so happy after being at nursery. The staff are lovely and friendly and always have a smile on their face. If you ask any questions they are always happy to help.
My daughter always seems to be doing so many different activities, which is great also.
Really pleased with my daughter's

My daughter is bilingual. I was afraid that it's maybe a problem for the nursery or her but it wasn't. All of the teachers/carers/management are extremely lovely and helpful, no questions are too silly to answer. My daughter loves to go there, she has improved a lot during the months. The room is always
clean, the activities are nice, she is always happy to tell me what they did in the preschool.

The nursery had a few teething problems with staffing in the first year or so but have since been pretty reliable. My son seems to really enjoy his time there and eats well. Staff are friendly and approachable and the 'app' is updated regularly so I know how he is getting on.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our son here when he had just turned one. He was originally at a nursery in town and we moved him to Bright Horizons Horsham because it was a bigger, newer, quieter nursery and he settled so well, so quickly. He is now nearly three. There are so many reasons why I love this nursery and why
my son is so happy:
The staff welcome you into the room to settle and collect your child. This was so important to me as at his original nursery we had to drop him at the door and queue outside for collection which was traumatic for us both.
The staff genuinely love the children and know them so well.
The handovers are excellent and detailed. There have even been occasions where the management have gone into detail about what he's eaten, played with and nappy changes that they have done - I love how involved they are!
There are many more reasons some of which I couldn't fit into the character limit but overall I would not hesitate to recommend Bright Horizons.

The ladies at Bright Horizons Horsham, are so welcoming and loving towards my daughter. She always looks forward to coming into nursery and always talks about her key workers in preschool. When I pick her up from preschool there is always a thorough hand over and my daughter is excited to tell me what
happened during her day.

Guys are amazing, helped with my daughter's speech and any problems she has! Couldn't thank them enough. She struggles sometimes with socialising but has no problems when she goes to the nursery and I put that down to staff integrating kids in well. She always eats well and comes home happy 95 per cent
of the time!

Such a lovely nursery. Staff are always very friendly. Only concern would be that we do not always get the food stated on the menu - or the food is quite repetitive - but know that is an issue with the cook, not those staff members providing the daily care of our children.

Our son loves going to Bright Horizons. Although he only goes once a week, it has helped so much with his development and he has such a lovely time and is always excited to return every week. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, and I feel more than happy dropping him off every week, knowing
he will have the best care.

Lovely nursery, full of cheery and professional staff who really care for the children. My son has thrived since starting at Bright Horizons, Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool, his speech has gone from 0 to 100 (he is now a fully-fledged chatterbox!) and he's made some firm friends. Management are on
the ball and update regularly and the nursery staff provide useful information about what he has been up to each day. I'm now looking forward to the 'getting ready for school' programme starting in pre-school, ahead of September's intake.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started nursery in September 2022. I am a first-time mum and hadn’t realised how early I should apply for a placement. Bright Horizons, Horsham was by far the most accommodating nursery and explained the process. This in turn made me feel very comfortable and trusting in the staff. During the
first few months, the nursery answered all my queries and helped him settle in with a nice steady transition to full-time placement. We are absolutely amazed at his development in both his speech and sign language/gesturing. I am genuinely so grateful for the managers and the staff having constant communication and updating the app regularly. Not only are the staff excellent at their jobs, the facilities and nutrition provided is to a very high standard. The activities provided are always adapted for each child, which is fab! There are so many wonderful things I can say but I will say I am proud he will be staying here long-term and growing within the nursery.

We couldn't be happier with the team at Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool. Since our son started at Bright Horizons in September 2022 when 10 months old, his development and social skills have improved dramatically and a big part of this is because of the team at Bright Horizons. We
can't wait to see our son develop further over the next few years at Bright Horizons.

Bright Horizons, Horsham, is amazing! Our little boy only goes one day a week and absolutely loves it. He settled so quickly with the help of the lovely staff. He has transitioned really well to the next room up and has so much fun. They keep us well updated through their app and track his progress.
They also manage his food allergies perfectly. Thank you so much to everyone there!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.928 for Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (491 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 528 Ratings = 4.928
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 44 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
