Our ethos

At Bright Horizons, children are supported at every moment by dedicated, skilled, and caring grown-ups, our nursery practitioners. The Nurture Approach™ is central to life at our Nurseries. It brings together learning and emotional wellbeing as part of the same amazing growing-up journey. We want to make this journey as smooth as possible for the whole family and our team look forward to getting to know their new children. The relationships in a child’s life are very important for their wellbeing, safety, stress regulation, resilience, and development. We know that attachment to at least one caregiver provides children with the secure base necessary to explore, learn, communicate, express their emotions, develop new skills, and to thrive!

What it's like

Young children show strong bonds with their key person and enjoy lots of cuddles and support. Older children form trusting relationships with staff and learn to respect the needs of their peers, behaving well and feeling safe and happy. Staff have high ambitions for individual children and plan well to meet their needs.
