We are very satisfied with the care and experience our child has recieved at Bright Horizons. We really like the daily updates and photos on the app. We have found the staff very friendly and they haved formed a great relationship with our child.
23 April 2026
We recently switched from another nursery in Timperley, which was advertised as a "Top 20 Nursery," due to concerns about the level of care our daughter was receiving. After that experience, finding this nursery has been a huge relief. From the start, the manager gave us great confidence.
Our daughter has allergies and eczema, and she was very knowledgeable, asked the right questions, and explained everything clearly.
In just two weeks, the difference has been remarkable. Our daughter settled quickly and is clearly happy at drop-off and pick-up. The staff are professional, caring, and friendly. They follow a detailed care plan for her condition, which gives us real peace of mind. She hasn't had any flare-ups or allergic reactions-something we struggled with at our previous nursery. We also love the app, which is easy to use and keeps us updated with activities, routines, and photos. Our only regret is not moving her sooner-we couldn't be happier.

Both of my daughters have attended Bright Horizons Timperley and I cannot recommend the nursery enough. I chose this nursery because from my very first visit the team were professional and knowledgeable but also warm and welcoming. The team have a nurturing approach that helped my daughters settle
quickly as babies. Our key workers across the rooms have been committed to getting to know them as individuals, helping them to build strong bonds and grow in confidence. They are very child-centred in their approach and enable smooth transitions between the different rooms. The team do a fantastic job at communicating with our family and are always on hand to help. The nursery is well equipped with a homely feel and the staff put lots of time and effort into activities for the children, with a clear focus on learning and development. Every member of staff has been truly wonderful and it has been a huge comfort to us knowing we are leaving our children in such caring and capable hands.

The nursery as a whole is excellent. The staff handle everything with professionalism, care, and positivity, and they provide amazing support to parents at every stage. My son has been in every room (from baby to toddler to preschool) and each step of the way he has felt happy, safe, and encouraged
to explore. We'll be absolutely devastated when he leaves and the fact he even asks to come on a Saturday says it all! The whole team creates a warm, nurturing, and genuinely caring environment that we feel so grateful for. Thank you Bright Horizons Timperley!

My daughter attends Bright Horizons, and she absolutely loves it. The fun, creativity, and genuine care the team bring to each day make her excited to go in every morning. B her key worker, truly goes above and beyond and cannot do enough to support her development and happiness. A greets her warmly
each morning, which makes drop-offs so much easier, and she always tells us how R kindly plats her hair and makes her feel so special. It is incredibly reassuring to know she is in such nurturing hands, and G comes home every day excitedly telling us all about the activities she has enjoyed and everything she has learned.

Bright horizons Timperley has been absolutely brilliant with our daughter who was born 10 weeks premature. We had concerns due to her developmental age and small size, but they have made her feel completely at home and been so helpful in settling her in. She absolutely loves it and we feel very good
about her being there and she already seems to be developing new skills as a result of learning from other babies!

Communication is poor: despite having three managers, emails often go unanswered for weeks, even when concerns involve children's welfare. Food provision also falls short-when the chef is off, staff or even managers cover the kitchen, leaving rooms understaffed and children unsettled. Meals are
repetitive, often soups and curries, and not always age-appropriate.
The most serious issue is safeguarding. Serious incidents are downplayed, and I was told that aggressive or threatening behaviour was just "play." My child suffered harm, yet incident reports were often incomplete unless I insisted. Physical incidents like biting and hitting are frequent, and children aren't properly supported.
In my experience, child safety is not prioritised here, and concerns are deflected rather than addressed.

So pleased we picked this nursery for our son. He started when he was 1 year old and has been at bright horizons (Timperley) for 6+ months. To see how much his language has developed and all the new things he has learnt is wonderful. He is such a happy boy going in and smiles when sees the staff.
They made settling in so easy for him (and me!). The staff are excellent and we love the app and how informative handover is when we pick him up. Can't recommend this nursery enough. They have been excellent and we love all the activities they pan and the photos/meal/happy updates. Thank you so much to all the staff at Bright Horizons! You are Amazing!

We love sending our boys to Bright Horizons. The staff are friendly, caring and nurturing. They promote fun and adventure as well as a good level of focus on academics and science in particular. We think the spaces and provocation provided is of the highest standard and would highly recommend other
parents to send their children to Timperley Bright Horizons.
14 March 2025
We have had a great experience with the team in the baby room who have taken such care with getting to know my daughter when she started. We really feel the team are caring and take a personal, professional approach to caring for our daughter. We always feel confident they support her development
and would tell us if they have any suggestions or concerns. Thanks baby room team!
28 February 2025
We are so impressed with Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool. This is our second child to attend the nursery.
The staff in the baby room show such genuine warmth and care for our daughter. Her key worker is brilliant and seems to know our daughter so well. Their bond is everything
that you would want from a nursery experience. They do so many well-planned activities and have a lovely, varied menu of food.
We also love the App where we can see pictures of the activities our daughter has done, how she has slept and how much she has eaten. It's so reassuring to see pictures of her with a smile on her face.
We have recommended the nursery to anyone who has asked.
27 February 2025
We recently moved to Timperley, with our daughter transferring into preschool from another excellent Bright Horizons setting and our son starting in the baby room. I can honestly say we've been delighted by the standard of care and education that our children are receiving. We were worried about how
our daughter would handle the move, but she quickly formed a secure attachment with her key person, has made lots of friends and is flourishing.
Our baby boy has settled in really well too; despite being the youngest in his room he is fully included in activities and eats and sleeps very well.
All the staff, in particular the room leaders, are confident, knowledgeable and caring. We feel as though the team fully support our approach to topics like feeding, toilet training, behaviour and the 'gentle parenting' philosophy.
05 September 2024
My daughter loves it at this nursery, her key worker(s) are fantastic and she continues to develop new skills day by day. I love the mix of lessons and topics to expand her mind. The use of the outdoor space to increase her confidence and core strength is really good as well.
03 September 2024
The team has been great at helping our baby and preschooler to settle in after a big move. Communication from the staff is great and we feel like we know a lot about how the kids are doing and what they have been enjoying.
01 August 2024
Our girl enjoyed going to nursery every day. They have so many great activities and archives throughout playing and learning.
Staff are so kind and lovely.
It's a beautiful place full of smiles and care.

Having had two children attend Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool, I would strongly recommend it to any parent. The staff were great with my son and now are also doing an amazing job with my daughter and I know she loves going and playing and learning. The setting is great too,
always clean and welcoming, a great environment for children. The management team is super helpful too and always on hand when needed.
01 August 2024
My son has an amazing key worker who is tuned into his needs. All the staff know all the children and it is a lovely environment.
My son is learning new things each day he is there and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up.

My little boy has attended since 2022. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time in each of the rooms. He often wants to stay and play longer. The food is very good, he will often eat meals at nursery that he wouldn't at home!
He enjoys all the activities that are offered to him, the staff show great
interest in the children and are always keen to hear what he has been doing at home and try to incorporate this into his time at nursery.
30 April 2024
A really lovely nursery, my little one enjoys coming to nursery and the staff team make sure her needs are met and provide amazing activities!
My little one has come on so much since starting nursery and is always learning something new.
The meals are good, and my little one eats all of it and
will have extra!
30 April 2024
Bright Horizons Timperley Day Nursery and Preschool has always been a fantastic nursery for our young boy but recently they have gone above and beyond in supporting us as we manage our son's emerging speech difficulties and work with third-party support. The staff are now like family - we are so
grateful for everything they do and are so pleased we chose this nursery.
