Thank you to all the wonderful staff for the amazing messy play activities you do and time you take at the end of the day to tell me how my little one has got on. Personally I love the size of the nursery as it gives a school feel which I believe has been beneficial to my daughter in prep for pre-school/school. The new refurbishments are great, it feels like a brand new nursery. I would 100% recommend you to friends and family. Thank you!",

He regularly came home dirty faced, snotty nose, with soiled clothes and shoes. There is no curriculum for learning or structure they followed, mostly free play as minimal staff watch over them running wild and fighting. When my son fell off the school’s equipment and suffered a 1.5 inch laceration to the back of the skull, concussion and other related prolonged medical issues, they refused to accept responsibility and failed to follow protocol to make timely accurate Reports to relevant Professional Bodies/Department eg Ofsted and HSC.  After escalation and a lengthy investigation which resulted in no action, we have had to remove him for his own safety and is now thriving, learning and comes home clean, happy and so talkative.  Other parents we have spoken to have mentioned numerous accidents here, but no one really knows about other kid’s accidents, and this information is not posted in the public domain.  Be aware and keep you child safe.",

The nursery has always been very accommodating - we went from two days to three to four down to two again. No issues ever. In my daughter’s group lots of diversity- more than in her primary, sadly, which I believe is a reason why she thrived- there were other children who looked like her who were happy. Great team as well, great SENCO (son had some stammering issues an intervention was immediately put in place with  home support).",

## About this day nursery

Bright Horizons operates approximately 300 nurseries and preschools across the UK, offering comprehensive childcare services to support families with their work-life balance. Their core philosophy, the Nurture Approach, prioritises both learning and emotional well-being, aiming to provide a supportive environment where children can be healthy, happy, and reach their full potential.

This approach is integrated into daily nursery life by dedicated practitioners who focus on fostering a sense of emotional safety and belonging. The nursery group also emphasises the importance of a smooth transition for children and families, offering non-chargeable settling-in sessions for up to six weeks before a child's start date.

These sessions are designed to help children become familiar with their new surroundings and to build trust between the child, their parents, and their designated Key Person. Throughout these sessions, parents are encouraged to stay initially, gradually extending their time away as their child adapts.

Bright Horizons also highlights its Bright Beginnings Curriculum, which focuses on five key learning areas to develop practical and life skills, and places a strong emphasis on outdoor activities, including Forest School and Eco-Schools programmes. They provide freshly prepared meals, cater to allergies, and offer guidance on various childcare funding options to help families manage costs.

Our ethos

Bright Horizons' Nurture Approach prioritises learning and emotional well-being, fostering emotional safety and belonging. Their Bright Beginnings Curriculum focuses on developing practical life skills, with an emphasis on outdoor activities and Forest School.

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively, ensuring they receive targeted support to help them make the best possible progress. Leaders and managers use funding effectively to purchase new resources to support children's engagement, and the special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Older children sustain high levels of interest in learning about road safety when riding their bikes. Younger children eagerly get ready to go outside to catch the bubbles, talking about how high they go. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.

We are so happy here at Bright Horizons. My little girl has learnt so much and comes home every day smiling and telling me about her day. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for the amazing messy play activities you do and time you take at the end of the day to tell me how my little one has got on. Personally I love the size of the nursery as it gives a school feel which I believe has been beneficial to my daughter in prep for pre-school/school. The new refurbishments are great, it feels like a brand new nursery. I would 100% recommend you to friends and family. Thank you!

Our son had many regular accidents here and we were constantly having to sign unexplained accident reports. He regularly came home dirty faced, snotty nose, with soiled clothes and shoes. There is no curriculum for learning or structure they followed, mostly free play as minimal staff watch over them running wild and fighting. When my son fell off the school’s equipment and suffered a 1.5 inch laceration to the back of the skull, concussion and other related prolonged medical issues, they refused to accept responsibility and failed to follow protocol to make timely accurate Reports to relevant Professional Bodies/Department eg Ofsted and HSC. After escalation and a lengthy investigation which resulted in no action, we have had to remove him for his own safety and is now thriving, learning and comes home clean, happy and so talkative. Other parents we have spoken to have mentioned numerous accidents here, but no one really knows about other kid’s accidents, and this information is not posted in the public domain. Be aware and keep you child safe.

No clue what the previous reviewers were drinking but my children are mixed race and from a multilingual background and we have never had any issues with getting a place or with bad treatment. The nursery has always been very accommodating - we went from two days to three to four down to two again. No issues ever. In my daughter’s group lots of diversity- more than in her primary, sadly, which I believe is a reason why she thrived- there were other children who looked like her who were happy. Great team as well, great SENCO (son had some stammering issues an intervention was immediately put in place with home support).
