Bright Horizons Fair Oak Day Nursery and Preschool

"Really happy with the progress our child is making at the nursery. The staff are always very helpful and kind. We feel very confident that our child is happy while at nursery and we have no concerns about their care while they are there. Our child seems to love attending nursery."

A spacious and inviting nursery in Fair Oak

At Bright Horizons Fair Oak Day Nursery and Preschool, your child will love our wide range of activities from yoga to growing vegetables. Each of our four rooms are specifically designed for each age and stage, ensuring children are engaged, stimulated and given the best possible start.

A Nurturing Start for Every Child

Your little one deserves the best start in life, and our Nurture Approach delivers just that. Designed by Early Years specialists, it focuses on wellbeing and holistic development to help every child thrive.

Building on the foundations of the government’s EYFS framework, The Nurture Approach combines creative, engaging activities that develop essential skills and confidence. This personalised approach supports each child’s progress—whether they’re moving rooms or preparing for school.

Stay connected through the Bright Horizons Family app, where you can follow your child’s day and milestones.

Preparing for School with Confidence

Our Ready for School programme helps older children build strong foundations in reading, writing, maths, and other key skills—ensuring they feel confident and excited for their next big step. 

Your little one will love our regular activities like yoga, dressing up, and the fun and popular Boogie Mites sessions, where they learn about the world through music and song. 

Outdoor Adventures

Your little explorers can enjoy the safety and convenience of separate gardens specifically designed for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. They even learn to grow vegetables in our vegetable patch.

Preschoolers have freeflow access to a large garden to encourage independent outdoor exploration and love our regular minibus trips to visit the library, local garden centre and Marwell. We even venture out to pick our own pumpkins!

Care and Convenience

  • Your child will enjoy freshly prepared meals by our onsite chef and our all-Inclusive care includes snacks, nappies and wipes, so there's less for you to pack in the mornings.
  • Conveniently located close to Fair Oak and Colden Common with onsite parking, and near to bus routes.

Stay connected with your child's development via our Bright Horizons Family app where you will be updated with photos and videos.

Your Personal Tour

At Bright Horizons Fair Oak Day Nursery and Preschool, we invite you and your little one for a personal tour of our facilities and welcome any questions you may have.

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 217 887, our friendly team is here to help.
