The nursery is mindfully designed to support your child's development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.

Conveniently located close to the residential areas of Chandler's Ford and Otterbourne. Our nursery has ample car parking and are easily accessible via bus.

The baby room features a milk kitchen, nappy unit and separate sleep area. Toddlers benefit from a large main room, creative room and dedicated potty training area. Older children can enjoy a wide range of educational resource indoors, as well as freeflow access to the spacious gardens.

Give your child the confidence to thrive with our Nurture Approach—a warm, enriching early years experience designed by specialists to support every stage of development. Rooted in the EYFS curriculum, this personalised programme blends wellbeing-focused activities with exciting learning opportunities across subjects like maths, reading, writing, science, and art.

To help preschoolers feel truly ready for school, our Ready for School programme adds structure and focus to essential skills, building confidence and independence in a fun, supportive environment.

Whether your child is moving rooms or preparing for their next big step, we’re here to nurture their potential and spark a lifelong love of learning. 

Outside, each age group has access to a large AstroTurf area and age-specific resources. Babies have a separate garden to ensure their outdoor safety, while the mud kitchen, balancing equipment, bikes and more allow older children to enrich their physical development and imagination.

The staff take every opportunity to go on walks in the countryside that surround the nursery. Exploring the woods and seeing the lakes and nearby horses are all regular experiences at our nursery in Chandler's Ford. Children also enjoy trips in the nursery’s minibus to local libraries and garden centres, encouraging them to feel confident in new surroundings in the community.

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.

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 02394 217 885, our friendly team is here to help.
