About this early years setting

Bright Horizons operates numerous nurseries and preschools across the UK, offering childcare that extends beyond basic care to focus on the holistic development and emotional well-being of each child. Their fundamental approach is called 'The Nurture Approach', which integrates learning with emotional growth, ensuring children are supported by dedicated and skilled practitioners.

The curriculum, named 'Bright Beginnings', focuses on five key learning areas, incorporating practical and life skills through diverse activities. The nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, offering spaces, Forest School programmes, and involvement in Eco-Schools.

They also prioritise healthy eating with freshly prepared meals, and provide dedicated support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Understanding the importance of a smooth transition, Bright Horizons offers complimentary settling-in sessions for families up to six weeks before a child's start date, allowing children and parents to become familiar with the environment and build relationships with their key person.

Outdoor space

Children have access to fresh air every day. Staff provide children with resources and activities to encourage their large-muscle development. However, they do not always respond swiftly when children show they need help to develop some skills in this area.

We took a long time to be comfortable about choosing a nursery for my daughter as this is a very important time. We wanted to ensure that all my daughters needs were cared about and cared for and with Churchfield House we felt that they really cared about our daughter and us as parents. This nursery is Ofsted Outstanding for a reason and i can promise you no parent will be disappointed at this nursery. The staff are amazing and really care about each child as an individual. All of our daughters development needs were met and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this nursery and all the staff in it. My daughter loves coming to nursery and we know that she is well cared for which makes us happy parents.

An absolute gem of a nursery. Both my husband and I knew at the showround stage, this was the place for our son and we were not wrong. Our son settled in so quickly and that is down to the wonderful care the staff provide. As parents we are so happy we have found a nursery where our son is cared for in such a way and developed accordingly. Thank you to Tracey, Lucy, Tess, Sarah and Natalie who have been so welcoming with this process.

I feel so happy to found Bright Horizons. My son feels so happy! and I love that they put a lot of emphasis on my son's food (top quality) and the activities that he does it really is helping him to develop different types of skills. I will soon take my other son as well. EXCELLENT work for the whole team at Bright Horizons specially to Faith, Rosie, Lucy & Haily.
