My son absolutely loves going to nursery every morning and clearly has a great time while he's there. He's attended full-time since he was 8 months old and has grown into a confident, social, and curious toddler. The staff are excellent and clearly make an effort come up with engaging activities. My partner and I have no reservations about recommending Bright Horizons Long Road to other parents.

They've been really helpful about finding extra days or responding to other changes in my work shcedule at reasonably short notice. The kids have plenty of outdoor space and it looks like they do fun activities inside (prior to the app it wasn't easy to know what they were doing but I'm really enjoying the app. My two have always seemed happy there.
