Bright Horizons Hinchley Wood Day Nursery and Preschool

About this day nursery

Bright Horizons operates over 300 nurseries and preschools across the UK, offering a nurturing and inspiring environment for children to thrive. Their core philosophy, "The Nurture Approach," integrates learning with emotional well-being, fostering a secure base for children to explore and develop.

The curriculum, "Bright Beginnings," focuses on five key learning areas, incorporating practical and life skills through engaging activities, including outdoor adventures and Forest School programmes. They prioritise healthy eating with freshly prepared meals and robust allergy management.

Recognising the significance of a smooth transition, Bright Horizons provides non-chargeable settling-in sessions for up to six weeks before a child’s start date, allowing families to build trust with their key person and become familiar with the nursery environment at their own pace. This emphasis on individual needs ensures every child receives a personalised and supportive start to their nursery journey.

Our ethos

Looking after your child is our first priority and to us, that's just the beginning. 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. This is more than childcare. This is childhood.

What it's like

Children happily separate from parents and form good relationships with peers and staff, settling quickly and learning to share and take turns. Staff effectively plan learning experiences based on children's needs and interests, leading to good overall developmental progress. Children are confident to communicate and engage in activities that enhance their concentration and literacy skills.
