My Daughter attends Bright Horizons Maidenhead and the nursery is outstanding. The staff are wonderful with my daughter, activities are varied and communication excellent. I have been so impressed with all aspects of the way the nursery is managed. My daughter loves her time there and I am delighted to have a home from home for my little girl. Where I know she is taken very good care of and is encouraged to excel in all she does. If your looking for the highest quality care available for your Child Bright Horizons Maidenhead delivers.

Our twins go to Bright Horizons Nursery &  Pre school Maidenhead. We can not praise this nursery enough. The staff are very professional, warm and caring. Our twins have separation anxiety and  we have tried 2 other nurseries in the area but faced much issues in settling ,whereas here I am incredibly pleased with the care, attention and empathy kids have received whilst settling in. I find the nursery to be communicative anytime which is very important to us.

Wonderful nursery with lovely staff. My son literally runs into the nursery every morning to greet his carer, thats how much he enjoys it there. The staff truly care for their children and constantly offer help and tools to support their development also at home. What makes this nursery extra special is that the manager and two of the carers are sisters. It really gives it a family feel. We can only recommend this nursery!

Visited the nursery and was massively impressed. Was unable to move my son there due to the big difference in cost. Cost pre-funding is more or less inline with other similar nurseries. But cost post 15/30 hours funding is ALOT higher (£270 a MONTH higher in my case) compared with the other nursery.

We had been to open day at the nursery and were treated horribly . The staff ignored our questions and felt a bit racist to be honest. We would definitely not enroll our child here.
