Despite months passing, she wasn’t able to fully adapt. Based on our friends’ recommendation, we decided to try the Bright Horizons Elm Grove branch — and the result was a wonderful surprise for us. Within just one week, our daughter settled in and now enjoys attending nursery. I believe this is thanks to the staff here, who have been incredibly successful in emotionally supporting her and building a strong bond. Thank you so much to the Bright Horizons Elm Grove team!

M. a year ago My daughter started attending the nursery at 9 months old and she was always very happy to go. The girls in the baby and toddler room are great and the different activities they do are amazing. Staff in general, including management, are always welcoming and friendly. They truly are like a big family and always make everyone feel part of it. I highly recommend! 😊 Read on Google (https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURnNG9iWHlBRRAB!2m1!1s0x48760be93ae68731:0x5565d165b8943262) Mingjing Lin 3 years ago My little one Oscar joined Bright Horizons since last summer. He absolutely loves here. All the staff is super friendly and caring. The activities are rich, practical and educational, which can prepare my kid well for his reception. He also loves the food here. Plus, parents can access their in-house app to check their kids daily routines, food, nap, images of the activities, which I think it’s fascinating. I always wanted to know how was my little one’s day, specially when he was too little to communicate everything well.

The staff really take their time to get to know the whole family, to chat at pick up and drop off, and communications whether directly or on the app are always really strong. Our little one has allergies and they’ve been reassuring, informed and on top of his needs, ensuring he never misses out. All the activities are creative, educational, and the kids obviously have great fun, every day is different!

They give so much care and attention to nurturing our sons. No matter which staff members are looking after our children, no matter which room they children are in, they get the best care and development. We very much feel that our children will have a real head start when they start school.
