About this day nursery
Bright Horizons Floral Place Day Nursery and Preschool offers a nurturing and stimulating environment designed to support every child’s unique developmental journey. The nursery prioritises creating a secure and loving atmosphere, understanding that strong attachments are fundamental for a child’s well-being, resilience, and learning.
Through its distinct "Nurture Approach," the nursery focuses on holistic development, integrating emotional well-being with educational experiences. They provide a curriculum that incorporates five key learning areas, promoting practical and life skills, and placing a strong emphasis on outdoor activities, including Forest School and Eco-Schools programmes.

With a focus on individual needs and routines, Bright Horizons aims to make the start of each child's nursery experience as positive and comfortable as possible, fostering a sense of safety and belonging from day one.
