Why Choose Us

“Imagine a safe place of fun and learning...A place where each day was a new adventure with the chance to learn new skills and make new friends...”

Welcome to a Bright Horizons Nursery

Each year at Bright Horizons, we are privileged that thousands of parents make the choice to let us share their family.

Your child’s early years are a magical time of learning and growth, during which their first experiences begin to form the building blocks of their future life and successes.

Bright Horizons Nurseries create safe, soothing and stimulating environments in which your child can play, discover and develop all of the skills needed to become a confident, positive and well-rounded individual.

A Special Relationship

We know that there is no more important decision facing modern parents than childcare.

Our role is to work in partnership with you, establishing strong ties that connect your child’s home and family life together with our nursery, and ensure that at all times you are fully confident that your child is safe, nurtured and being given the space to learn and grow.

As well as interacting with other children and staff members, at Bright Horizons your child will receive one-to-one attention from their Key Person - a named staff member who builds a special relationship with your child, who makes sure that their routines are followed, and can fill you in with all those special little details of their day.

Achieving Excellence in All Areas

Bright Horizons Nurseries consistently receive higher than national average percentage of “Outstanding” and “Good” and equivalent judgments at statutory inspections.

Our expertise in childcare means we’re now actively contributing to government policy-making in the UK – we’ve worked with the Department of Education, been one of the experts on the Expert Panel reviewing the Early Years Foundation Stage, and presented to the Education Select Committee!

We pride ourselves on pro-actively developing new and exciting initiatives for the children in our care, (and their parents!); Ready for School, Growing Readers, Cookery Club and Gardening Club are just a sample of some of the initiatives we have developed to get your little one involved and excited about different aspects of learning – setting them off on the right track!

Our People

When you entrust your child to our care, you can be sure that you are leaving them with more than “a safe pair of hands".

All Bright Horizons Nursery staff are highly-skilled and passionate; putting your child at the heart of everything they do - observing, reflecting and planning activities to make learning fun and to support your child at every stage of their learning journey.

We’re proud to have Investor in People status, and recently received a Silver Award in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2011.

Bright Horizons staff are committed to ongoing training and developing their own skills – we have been named as one of the Top 50 Best Workplaces in the UK and also one of the Top 25 in Europe – the only childcare provider to have received this accolade!
