A World of Fun and Learning in Chigwell

Welcome to Bright Horizons Chigwell Day Nursery and Preschool situated in a charming character building, offers dedicated childcare and early education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Conveniently located in Chigwell, the nursery is close to Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell tube stations, making us a convenient setting for commuting parents.

Across our age-focused rooms, we offer an exceptional start to schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress, whether that involves transitioning between rooms or preparing for school. From play trays and reading corners, to arts and crafts stations and construction areas, there is so much to discover.

Furthermore, the nursery provides additional curriculum activities, including Boogie Mites, a program where children engage in movement, learning, and smiling through music.

Attached to the rooms is freeflow access to our wonderful outdoor space, which includes a large garden divided into age-specific areas, ensuring the children have access to the best resources for their development and allowing them to broaden their understanding of science and nature. Additionally, we have a lovely all-weather garden where your child can make new discoveries, get fresh air, and explore at their own pace throughout the day.

While your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app, which is available for all Bright Horizons parents and keeps you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and development.

We also offer Settling in Sessions tailored to suit you and your family. Please ask our nursery manager for more information or visit our settling in page to discover more.

To learn more about our Chigwell nursery or to see us for yourself, get in touch and we'll arrange a personal tour.

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 and so on.

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 0203 780 3061, our friendly team is here to help.
