About this day nursery

Bright Horizons Romsey Day Nursery and Preschool is part of the larger Bright Horizons family, a well-established childcare provider in the UK with over 300 nurseries. They focus on supporting families by offering a stimulating and fun learning environment for children, guided by their unique Nurture Approach™.

This approach prioritises both learning and emotional well-being, fostering a secure base for children to explore and develop. The nursery prides itself on its dedicated and skilled practitioners who create a nurturing atmosphere.

They also offer non-chargeable 'Settling In Sessions' up to six weeks before a child's start date, allowing children and parents to gradually become familiar with the nursery and build a trusting relationship with their assigned Key Person. This personalised approach ensures a smooth transition and caters to the individual needs of each child.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. For example, they use sign language and visual displays to support children's understanding of activities and everyday routines. Staff liaise closely with other professionals to share information about children's learning and development.

Outdoor space

Children lead their own play, making choices and assessing risks. For example, they use crates and tyres to build an assault course in the garden. They work together to decide what to put next and check if it is safe.

Wonderful staff who really care about my child. They have been so caring especially through the last year, ensuring my child could still mix with his peers and continue to develop.

My son loves it here and settled in from his first day in toddlers. I feel so comfortable leaving him here as the staff show genuine affection towards the children.
