My daughter has just left the nursery after 2 wonderful years and I am so sad to no longer be part of such a nurturing setting - the whole team really acted as our "village" and each staff member was so calm and compassionate and took time to know each and every child. We felt at total ease having our daughter in their care and were pleased with the daily updates provided each day both verbally at handover and on the app. The meals provided were of great quality and nutritional value. The garden was what first drew us to the setting alongside the convenience of the location and I love that they spend so much time outside in fresh air. Thank you Bright Horizons - we will miss you!

My son loves Witney Bright Horizons Day Nursery. He took a while to settle in there (this is very normal for him!) and they all worked so hard to make him feel safe and happy there. He now comes home happy, tired and well fed. They have done so much to support me changing days with my work and complicated schedule. I highly recommend this nursery!

Brilliant nursery, my daughter loves going and has really lovely bonds with all of the staff within the building. The staff accommodate her needs well and if ever we need to alter anything, they are happy to do so and just make me and my daughter feel welcome.

My daughter absolutely loves attending the setting and has been there from 10 months old. She is supported in all areas of her development and is continuously celebrated for her achievements. She has a lovely bond with her key person along with all other staff members in her room. It is really reassuring knowing how happy and content she is while there.

We just moved to Witney, my previous experience with nursery and pre-school wasn't the best. I made some calls and wrote emails to a good number of nurseries in Witney but their response wasn't the best except for Bright Horizons. I just knew this would be a welcoming place for my kid. I had to leave closer nurseries to go right to this wonderful place. This is the best decision I've made for my kid. The teachers are really dedicated and caring. When you drop your child at school you have no worries. My son enjoys the meals and in less than 2 days he was well settled in. Words would fail me to describe our experience here.

My daughter has been attending this nursery pretty much since it opened, in the baby room, initially two days a week and then three days. The staff are extremely dedicated to making her time interesting and engaging, and I've felt that they do tailor everything to each child and their specific needs and developmental stage. The staff get to know the children individually and this is reflected in the bonds that are evidently forming. My daughter is always happy to go to nursery and cannot wait to see her favourite staff members. I am also happy that the communication has been overall consistently very good, and I like the regular detailed developmental updates that they prepare to help track her learning and milestones. I would recommend this nursery without hesitation.

We came to Bright Horizons Witney Day Nursery and Preschool in March, when they opened, with our son. He loves it there. In fact, he sometimes cries when I go to collect him because he doesn't want to go home. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. They have an app so you can keep an eye on your little one while at work. The outside space is great and they try to use it as much as possible. The nursery is well resourced and the food is good too. They are also happy to accommodate cloth nappies and are egg and nut free which is reassuring when you have a child with allergies. My son seems to be picking up lots of new skills and learning lots. He really loves being around the older children too. Thank you to all the staff who care for my son.

Our boy has been very happy here. The team have been great. Would highly recommend the nursery. We always feel welcome at drop off and pick up. The staff are happy to chat about his day and we are provided regular updates.

My son joined the nursery when he was 18 months old in the baby room. The team were very accommodating to get him settled and we’ve built up a great rapport with the team. He has now moved to the toddler room and loves the staff (and the meals). We get regular updates about what they’ve been up to and are happy to help with any challenges we are having during the ‘terrible twos’ which is a great support. He has learnt great manners which is something we hadn’t considered to be a by-product - cleaning the table and putting rubbish in the bin which is an advantage! We’ve signed up our new baby to join the team from 10 months old.

My daughter started here in September 2023, and she stays 5 days per week. I could not be happier and more appreciative of each teacher's hard work, and also the nursery conditions which are impeccable. I am very fussy about the cleaning and food, and this place is definitely what I was looking for. The communication is also very good. I can't thank you all enough for the way you help me with my daughter's growth and development, while away from her. I feel I can be relaxed. Thank you so much to all the Team.

My 9 month old daughter has settled brilliantly and is building great relationships with the team. I love seeing what she has been up to on the app and staff are always available to answer any questions I have. They have been particularly helpful in supporting her weaning journey as she has found it a little tricky. My daughter is always happy when she is at nursery and I receive lots of updates about her progress. Would recommend it to other parents or carers looking for a nursery.

Our little girl loves nursery and it’s reassuring that we can go to work knowing she is well cared for. The baby room staff are lovely and we are regularly updated with activities and milestones that are being met whilst she is with them. We are always welcomed on arrival by management which is great and they are happy to address any concerns we may have. It’s a brilliant nursery!

I am so pleased that I found this gem of a nursery for my son! The whole place is so welcoming but every member of staff goes above and beyond to make it a happy, positive experience for both children and parents. My son has needed a lot of support and they have been brilliant looking after his needs. I couldn’t imagine a better place for him!

Fantastic nursery! Staff are friendly and amazing with the little ones. My little one has settled on so quickly and is really enjoying his time there. Staff are able to help with anything we have needed. Would highly recommend it.

My daughter goes to a different nursery 3 days a week and because she couldn’t get the additional 2 days in her current nursery, I was desperately looking for other nurseries around Witney but had no luck. Finally, I began looking for nurseries outside of Witney. When I called the Bright Horizons branch, a nice woman informed me that a branch will soon be opening in Witney. The rest is history. Now that my daughter attends Bright Horizons Nursery two days a week, we are overjoyed. She adores the nursery, and the staff dearly especially her key workers. My daughter has additional needs so it’s not easy for her to get settled easy. Her key workers and nursery staff look after so well, and she is doing great. I would recommend Bright Horizons Nursery to all parents.

Absolutely faultless really. Our little girl absolutely loves going, all the staff are lovely with special mention to six staff members who are wonderful. Everyone there always goes the extra mile, everyone is so happy and friendly and nothing is too much trouble, our daughter gets loads of opportunity to try new activities and importantly play outside, the meals must be delicious as she constantly eats everything and gets to try lots of new and different foods which is really important. Can't thank all the staff there enough.

My son started in the baby room in June and I could not be happier with the nursery so far. The room itself is bright, airy, clean and fully equipped with so much for the children to do and enjoy. They really have thought of everything to ensure a wonderful space for the children to play and sleep in. The outside space is fabulous and great that the little ones have their own sectioned off area. I love the fact that the children are given plenty of opportunities to be outside and enjoy the fresh air during their day. The menu for meal times is very extensive and whilst my son is a fussy eater the nursery tries to accommodate his needs as best as possible. I absolutely love the app as staff log when your child starts their day, food they eat, sleeps they have, any nappy changes etc. They also record observations made for your child and photos to show things your child is doing. All of the staff are wonderful and it makes me feel at ease and I know my son is in good hands.

We’re really enjoying our time here! Lovely free flow setting with a calm aesthetic and access to plenty of stimulating and educational toys and activities. There is a large garden with plenty of equipment including sandpit, bike track, adventure play and mud kitchen, with a smaller separate section for the little ones. The staff are kind, friendly and encouraging. They’ve been great at helping my youngest have a nap schedule! Everyone is approachable and helpful, and they work to create educational activities for the children, often based around a theme of the week which encourages discussion, learning and a platform for free play. We love seeing photos and observations, and can also check nap times etc via the app. Staff are always enthusiastic to chat about what the children have been up to that day and will call if any concerns. The office are always quick to respond to email queries. The food is healthy and from what the children tell me, delicious!

My daughter (age 1) has been attending 2 full days a week for just over a month. I'm extremely happy with the setting, the nurturing and attentive staff in the baby room have helped her to settle in brilliantly. The rooms are bright and inviting with lovely brand new resources for the children to explore. All of the staff appear to genuinely care about the children. The app which is used and regularly updated ensures I always know what my daughter is up to and how her day is going and I enjoy reading all of the observations made and seeing photographs. The outside space is fab and often at pick up my daughter is happy and smiling whilst playing in the garden. The food is good quality and varied and it's extremely helpful that all food and items such as nappies are included.
