03 February 2026
Both my children have attended Bright Horizons in Highams Park since the age of two. My eldest is now 8 and the youngest is 4 and in the pre-school room. Both children have thrived at the nursery, learned lots, built confidence and made excellent friends. The staff are kind and engaged and build
strong relationships with all the children and their families. We have had nothing but positive things to say about the nursery and will be sad when the time comes for our youngest to leave in September.

The staff are all excellent that I've come across in the toddler room where my son is. They are the most friendly nurturing staff who really care about the children.
The outdoor play space is excellent and the children often play out for a lot of the day which is great to be outside. There's mud
kitchens and other toys.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery - it is a very nurturing environment and my son has made great connections with the staff and children.

Our child started in the toddler room and is now in the preschool room and has had such wonderful support in both places, as well as from all the other staff in Bright Horizons Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool. We have all felt supported through transitions and phases of learning and feel
confident in leaving her in their care. We look forward to our second child starting there and also benefiting from the care and learning. We especially appreciate the crafts, recognition of various holidays and cultures and time for play.

Third child currently in toddler room, our older two having graduated in the last three and a half years. Can't fault anything, all have had/are having a great experience and the nursery has set them up really well for the transition to reception.

My son is always happy to come to nursery and loves all the staff and his friends. He is increasingly confident, chatty and independent. Really growing into his own - the amount of activities and learning topics they cover are brilliant! The food is varied and delicious too. Thanks everyone, highly
recommend and trust you!

Our toddler loves going to his Bright Horizons Highams Park Nursery and Preschool because the staff are so friendly and caring and they do lots of fun and creative activities. The nursery has excellent and thorough management. The waiting time to get a place was two and a half years but it was worth
it. The outside play area is slightly on the smaller side but it doesn't seem to bother the kids at all.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible staff at my son's nursery. The nursery staff go above and beyond to support us. Their compassion, professionalism, and unwavering dedication are nothing short of extraordinary.
They provide excellent care for our son but also offer emotional
support for our entire family.
Their commitment to maintaining open communication, keeping us informed about our son's day-to-day activities, and being readily available to address any concerns or provide updates were invaluable to us. Their genuine care and unwavering support extended beyond the walls of the nursery, making us feel like we were part of a caring and compassionate community.
I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, generosity, and genuine concern for our well-being during a challenging time in our lives. Their dedication to their profession and their genuine love for the children in their care make them true heroes in our eyes.

My son has started the nursery a month ago, the staff has supported him and us to settle into nursery so well. Just being at the nursery, he has been so busy with all the different activities they provide. The communication is brilliant in what he been doing during the day as well as what he has
been learning. Thank you.

Bright Horizons have been amazing to my son and he gets all the help he needs. Staff are amazing and very helpful and we get the daily updates. Management is always helpful and very supportive. My son is always very keen on going into the nursery and enjoying the time there.

Our son has been going to this nursery for 6 months now and they have been absolutely brilliant with him. His progress has been exceptional for the 3 days a week he goes. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful and the facilities are excellent. We can monitor his daily food intake, sleep,
nappies and pictures of activities through their mobile app. The food they give the children is varied and well-balanced. We couldn't ask for more from a nursery.

I would highly recommend Bright Horizons Highams Park. I’ve had 2 children at the nursery and have been through all the rooms (babies, toddlers and preschool). Both mine have loved it. The staff are so caring, reassuring and on the ball, they really know the children and look after them so well.
They do tons of fun activities and help prepare the kids for school. We feel really lucky!

Highams Park Nursery is lovely. The staff really do care about all the children and families! They were very supportive and flexible during our daughter's settling in and have always been there to give advice on everything, from simple changes in routine to toilet training. We are kept up to date
with our daughter's learning with regular development reviews and observations as well as daily updates about activities, sleep, food and nappy changes/toilet visits all within the family app, allowing me and my partner to check how our little one is doing at any time of the day. Our daughter absolutely loves being at the nursery, she talks about the staff and her friends and the activities they have been doing all the time at home!

My son has been going to the nursery since he was 8 months old. At first, he found settling in difficult, but the staff in babies did their best to help him settle. Over the years he has really come out with his personality and is now a very confident little boy. He has loved being at nursery and
all the staff has been like a second family to him. He has recently started school and has said that he misses his nursery.
08 July 2022
Our little boy has now been with Bright Horizons for approaching two years, from toddler just turning 2 years old to current preschool, just turned 4 years old, going to school in September. During this whole time, the service and quality of care he has received has been exceptional. Firstly, the
attention to detail and care for all the children at the nursery is of the very highest standard, especially during the pandemic. The levels of care and professionalism shown in such difficult circumstances, was incredible. But also, the learning and development of our boy, getting him ready for school, has been so amazing to see. Also, a great effort has been made for the mental well-being of all the children in the nursery, which again is great to see. Cannot recommend it enough and thank you to all the team at Bright Horizons, Highams Park.

We hear the names of the staff on a daily basis and referenced most evenings, whilst our daughter is settling in her cot and running through all of her key people in her life. Too cute! She adores you all and is always so excited to spend a day with you. Thank you so much for making our baby girl so
happy and comfortable with you all, we always know she is in great hands and we’ve seen her come on leaps and bounds since she started nursery. You are all a huge part of her life and a contributor to the wonderful little personality, she is becoming.
08 July 2022
I have had my older child in the nursery previously and my youngest is there now and I can honestly say I cannot fault the care that the team at Highams Park give the children. Having had both children there throughout the pandemic, as well as before and after it, the care that they have provided is
exceptional. The team are passionate, invested in the children's learning and welfare and just so caring towards them and the children just love all of the staff regardless of the room they are in! I am so glad we moved to this nursery. Would highly recommend it.
08 July 2022
The care and facilities are great. It really does feel like a small family set up for the kids with staff etc. I cannot find a fault there. The only complaint is the communication/admin, it needs to be drastically improved.
28 April 2022
We have been really impressed with Bright Horizons, Highams Park Day Nursery. Our daughter joined when she was 11 months old and our impression is that she really enjoys being there. She smiles and shows excitement when seeing the staff each morning and the photos that we see on the app show her
having lots of fun. We have also noticed huge developments in our daughter's language skills and gross motor skills in the three and a half months that she has been attending the nursery. We know how hard the staff in the baby room have been working on developing her crawling and walking skills. All the staff and management at Highams Park Day Nursery are very friendly, personable and we have been really grateful for all the quick and reassuring communication that we receive. We especially love all the artwork that our daughter brings home! We genuinely could not be happier with the nursery placement for our daughter. Thank you to everyone at Highams Park Day Nursery!

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year and joined the baby room. He started in August 2020 and due to Covid-19 there wasn't a settling period where parents could stay with their child. I was a little apprehensive at first, however he settled in pretty quickly. The staff were amazing
and they provided regular updates during the settling period, which put my nerves at ease. We receive a daily update at pickup, how my son has been throughout the day, what he has had to eat and what activities he participated in, along with a daily sheet. Every couple of months we have a virtual catch up due to Covid-19, with his key worker to discuss his development and areas which we would like them to focus on. We get a chance to look through his book which contains pics of him and an update on his progress. What more can you ask for. I would recommend Bright Horizons Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool to parents thinking about sending their children to this nursery.

My daughter attended Bright Horizon’s Highams Park nursery for 4-years, and in that time, I’ve been impressed and extremely grateful for the care, support and encouragement they gave her. This happy and safe environment enabled her to make good progress, and I would definitely recommend the nursery
to other parents.
