A Bright and Spacious Nursery in Bury St Edmunds

Welcome to Bright Horizons Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Preschool, where our long-standing, experienced team provides exceptional early years education and childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Located in a quiet residential area near Bury St Edmunds train station, with an onsite car park and buggy park, we offer a convenient and stress-free experience for commuting families.

Nurture Approach – Supporting Every Stage of Development

Our specialist-designed Nurture Approach, rooted in the EYFS curriculum, blends wellbeing-focused activities with exciting learning opportunities in maths, literacy, science, art, and more. This personalised programme helps children build confidence, curiosity, and independence. 

Our Ready for School programme supports preschoolers with structured learning that builds essential skills for a smooth transition to primary school. Led by Early Years specialists, this programme is part of our holistic Bright Beginnings Curriculum, which nurtures each child’s development and wellbeing. 

Inspiring Learning Environments

Each age group enjoys tailored spaces filled with educational resources including block play, sensory activities, art and craft, story time, and role play. Our baby room supports milestone development in a calm, home-like setting, while toddlers benefit from messy play and their own outdoor area.

Our preschool room is open-plan and designed to foster independence, creativity, and school readiness. Children also enjoy Boogie Mites—a fun music and movement programme that enhances learning through rhythm and song.

Outdoor Exploration & Eco Learning

Children have free-flow access to our large garden, featuring an allotment area, climbing frames, mud kitchen, and balancing tyres. Babies have a safe, cushioned outdoor space to explore sights and sounds while developing physical and communication skills.

As part of our eco-friendly ethos, children learn about sustainability through gardening and nature-based activities.

Stay Connected with Our Family App

Our Bright Horizons Family App keeps parents updated with daily insights, photos, and developmental milestones—so you’re always connected to your child’s journey.

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 01284 330 589, our friendly team is here to help.
