Feel at home in our bright and welcoming Farnborough nursery

Welcome to Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool, were we make every moment count. Our experienced team provides exceptional care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years in a bright, welcoming setting designed to feel like home. From the very first day, we focus on creating a safe, happy environment where your child can thrive.

Located close to Farnborough train station with excellent transport links, our nursery also offers on-street parking and a buggy park for added convenience. Inside, babies enjoy a cosy under-1s room with a soft play area for sensory exploration and a separate sleep space for peaceful naps. As they grow, children move through spacious rooms tailored to their age group, each filled with engaging resources that encourage independence and creativity.

Every child benefits from our Nurture Approach, which prioritises emotional wellbeing and strong relationships, working hand in hand with our Bright Beginnings Curriculum, rooted in the EYFS framework. Together, they create a holistic learning experience that blends wellbeing-focused activities with exciting opportunities across literacy, maths, science and the arts. For preschoolers, our Ready for School programme builds confidence and essential skills for a smooth transition to primary school.

Outdoor play is an important part of life at Farnborough. Our beautiful garden offers age-specific areas for exploration, from a mud kitchen and wildlife zone to gardening and a vegetable patch. Indoors, children love cooking in our dedicated kitchen, learning about healthy food choices in a fun, hands-on way.

All meals and snacks are freshly prepared by our onsite chef, and as an all-inclusive nursery, we provide nappies, wipes, formula, nappy cream, and sun cream for added convenience. Extended opening hours from 07:30 to 18:30 give families flexibility and funded-only places are available.

Parents stay connected through the Bright Horizons Family App, which shares daily updates, photos, and developmental milestones -keeping you involved in your child’s journey every step of the way.

Start your child’s journey with us today, book a personal tour and see why Bright Horizons Farnborough is trusted by families for a happy, confident start.

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 01252917072, our friendly team is here to help.
