It’s absolutely appalling that this company has taken over established family run nurseries and instead of making them better they are commercialising them and refusing to renew their wonderful workers visa’s whom the kids love. Disgusting. I am so upset by the money grabbing decisions the new owners have made.

I have no words to describe how happy I am with Bright Starts. My little girl started at September when she was almost 14 months. She settled really well for less than a week. By the beginning of the next week, she started to smile while a was parking in front. The staff is amazing. Very friendly and patient with the parents and the kids. Plenty of activities every day, varied and healthy menu, nice garden and room space with separate sleeping area. Live reports every day including all activities, food taken, sleeping times, etc. Huge thanks to all staff in Baby room who is doing some kind of magic with all babies:) The most important thing is the smile and happiness of my little girl every morning and evening. No better evidence than that. Highly recommend to everyone:)
