About this day nursery

Bright Horizons Harpenden Luton Road Day Nursery and Preschool provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. Their educational approach, "The Nurture Approach," integrates learning with emotional wellbeing, focusing on developing practical and life skills through their Bright Beginnings Curriculum.

This curriculum emphasises five key learning areas and incorporates outdoor adventures, including Forest School and Eco-Schools programmes. Recognising the importance of a smooth transition, the nursery offers non-chargeable settling-in sessions for up to six weeks before a child’s start date, allowing families to familiarise themselves with the environment and build trust with their child’s Key Person.

Mealtimes are also a priority, with freshly prepared food and careful allergy management. The nursery is part of a larger network with extensive experience, dedicated to supporting families through flexible childcare solutions and guidance on available funding options.

They maintain high standards, with a significant majority of their nurseries achieving "Good" or "Outstanding" ratings from Ofsted.
