The nursery focuses on supporting families with the daily work-life juggle, providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Their unique "Nurture Approach" integrates learning and emotional well-being, ensuring each child feels safe, known, and loved. This approach emphasises the importance of a "Key Person" who builds trust with the child and parent during settling-in sessions. The nursery offers comprehensive settling-in sessions that are non-chargeable and can begin up to six weeks before the official start date, allowing children and parents to gradually become familiar with the new surroundings and staff. These sessions are tailored to individual needs, recognising that every child settles at their own pace. Bright Horizons also guides parents through various government childcare funding options, aiming to ease financial concerns. They prioritise fresh, healthy meals with attention to allergies and offer a rich curriculum covering five key learning areas, including outdoor adventures and support for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our ethos Bright Horizons utilises a "Nurture Approach" that integrates learning with emotional well-being, aiming to make children feel safe, known, and loved. This approach is supported by a "Key Person" system designed to build trust with both children and parents through tailored settling-in sessions. What it's like Children thrive in this excellent nursery. They are warmly welcomed by nurturing staff and receive lots of emotional support. Children learn to express how they feel, to be kind and considerate, and to value and respect people in society through ambitious and creative learning experiences.
