Buckhurst Hill Day Nursery and Preschool
"Our son started when he was 10 months and we have seen him flourish in that time (he is now 19 months). We get a sense that the nursery staff genuinely care for the children and they provide a stimulating environment in which they can grow."

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.

Parent testimonials taken from daynurseries.co.uk.
"After researching nurseries for my son, Bright horizon Buckhurst Hill Day Nursery and Preschool was the first choice from the moment I stepped into the building. The staff are super friendly and my son's key worker is amazing! Since working with her, he has come out of his shell and really loves exploring."Britney O, Parent
- "My daughter has had a long settling because she is very attached of me and she is breast feeding, but the teachers have done a very good job and after 3 months she loves to go there, she started to eat well, to walk and to say words, the things she has refused to do at home."
I R, Parent
- "The staff are all very friendly and supportive. I cannot thank them more for their hard work and dedication. It's great that they have recruited more staff and I'm pleased with how my children are developing now."
