Our daughter goes here 3x a week, and is really well looked after and she loves it, the staff are superb. It’s a little more expensive than some others but it’s worth it, all the team (we have met) are great, caring and they are all a lovely bunch of people and the manager, Yasmin is lovely. We viewed over 5 nurseries before choosing one and this one was by far the best (and my wife works in education!)

My little one has been attending this nursery-pre school since February 2019. He is so happy there as are we as parents. I found it very hard to find a nursery school that took my little one for term time only, which suited our needs. All the staff are friendly, caring and professional. Can’t fault it. X

This is a wonderful nursery - caring and attentive staff. They really care for the well being of the children and offer structured and free flowing activities. My daughter has been going for 6 months and she loves it. Would highly recommend.

My daughter had been at a child minder from 12months to 2 years. The minute I got the 30hours funding I moved her to Bright Horizons Nursery in sutton. It was the best decision I ever made. No only is My daughter, who has had some Behavioral issues, doing amazingly, she loves all the staff and to be honest so do I. I literally have so much time for them. They are real, honest, sincere, caring, professional and overall good people. I have some regrets that I didn’t send my daughter there from the start but honestly I couldn’t afford it as she is there full time 50 hours a week. I’m just grateful for the funding that allowed me to send her there for the year before going to reception school. They have a special room for pre-schoolers to get them ready. I wish she could stay there longer. All the staff are wonderful. I can’t praise them enough.
