Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool

"The nursery manager is outstanding and every member of the team is fantastic, friendly and accommodating to what your children need. I could not rate or recommend Bright Horizons Andover enough!"
(TM, Parent - Daynurseries.co.uk)

Discover our Spacious and Inspiring Andover Nursery

Welcome to Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool where we nurture your child's development from 3 months to 5 years, giving them the care, education, and encouragement they need to have the very best start in life. Our nursery in Andover is handily located just a 10-minute walk from the town centre and there is a bus stop directly opposite the nursery. We also have our own car park for parents and carers to help with convenient pick up and drop offs.

We have three large age-appropriate rooms, each one filled with stimulating toys, educational resources, and play areas specially curated by our Early Years specialists to kindle your child’s curiosity to learn and grow.

We nurture babies' development in a specially designed sensory area where your child can make new discoveries before having a well-earned nap in our cosy sleep room. We know how important it is for your baby and your peace of mind that they get enough sleep, so we'll work with you to follow your baby's individual sleep routine.

Toddlers and preschoolers love our messy play area and 'dig' our construction area, which improve creative cognition. They even have access to their own facilities to encourage potty training.

Your child will have direct access to our garden and all its wonders. It's split into age groups to ensure the best experience for them, enabling them to discover sandpits, climbing equipment, planting areas and even a mud kitchen to cook up some tasty mud pies when they're ready; and while your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.

Book your tour today to visit the nursery and discover what it has to offer, we can’t wait to meet you!

Nursery Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01264 314 849, our friendly team is here to help.
