Bright Horizons Milton Park Day Nursery and Preschool

About this day nursery

Bright Horizons is an experienced childcare provider operating over 300 nurseries and preschools across the UK. They focus on delivering inspiring learning experiences while prioritising children's well-being and development.

Their unique "Nurture Approach" integrates learning with emotional support, aiming to foster health, happiness, and potential in every child. The curriculum, "Bright Beginnings," covers five key learning areas, incorporating practical and life skills through various activities.

The nursery also places importance on mealtimes, offering freshly prepared food and managing allergies carefully. Outdoor play, including Forest School and Eco-Schools programmes, is integral to their approach.

Bright Horizons additionally offers extensive support for families, including guidance on childcare funding options and a smooth settling-in process for new children, with non-chargeable settling-in sessions offered up to six weeks before a child's start date.

Our Nurture Approach™ is central to life at our Nurseries, bringing together learning and emotional wellbeing as part of the same amazing growing-up journey. We are passionate about supporting families with the daily work-life juggle, filling children’s days with fun and inspiring learning experiences and the simple joys of childhood, while creating a bright future for them.

What it's like

All children are happy and demonstrate that they feel safe. New children settle quickly into their base rooms and are given good emotional support, which helps them to feel confident in their surroundings. The well-resourced areas are set up attractively by staff, and children have many opportunities to learn about the world, including local walks and exploring the sensory garden.
