The best Nursery in the area! I will be gutted when my son leaves, my child has been going to this nursery since he was a baby, the staff are incredible and go above and beyond they work so well with the parents and make sure everyone is happy. I’ve never had a bad experience, all the children are happy and the meals are great! If you’re looking for a nursery in the area this is the best one & Cary the manager is best manager I’ve seen yet, he does a great job for the nursery and looks out for everyone. Thank you Cary and the team for looking after us for all these years we will miss you! And we will come and visit 🥹

We had two kids in this Bright Horizons for 2 years+ and we cannot talk highly enough about the team and the management. We moved away last year and still miss it! We wish we could send our third baby there but we are too far. Just remembered our good times and thought of leaving a review.

We had an extremely positive experience at Bright Horizon Holland Park. Our 21 months daughter has been developing so much since she joined and she was running to go to the school on the afternoon telling us "bye" while running to join her amazing teacher Layla and her great colleagues. Layla has done a fantastic job, developing her and making our daughter even more independent, happy and confident. The manager of the school Chelsea is also extremely nice and professional. We highly recommend the school! The only reason we are leaving is because we are leaving the UK but if we could, we would have brought the school with us in our luggage!

Amazing nursery. They really care about the children and provide them with so many opportunities to learn. Great outdoor space with each room having its own dedicated outdoor area. The managerial team also know all the children by name. Food seems great too (there’s a chef on site who caters for dietary requirements). Information provided daily on what the children ate/slept/toileted/activities: My kids are so happy here they run to the front door with excitement each day when I say it’s nursery time. I couldn’t be happier with it. Big thanks to Chelsea, Cary, Yulin, Leila and all the other wonderful staff there.

Our daughter has gone to Bright Horizons Holland Park since she was 6 months old and we love it! It is very organized, clean, and the carers are great and truly care about our daughter and her development.
