A place to grow
Bright Horizons' Day Nursery in Lancaster is situated in the grounds of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, making it ideally situated for employees and local residents.
The nursery offers care to children aged 0-4 years across three separate age grouped rooms.
Our baby room offers provision for children aged 3 months to 2 years; this large open plan space allows plenty of opportunity for children to become natural explorers and to thrive in their physical development.
The room has capacity for 24 children so there are many communications and interactions taking place on a daily basis, building on personal, social and emotional development.
Our toddler room supports children added 2-3 and offers a range of activates to support children as they start to work through the broader curriculum. Activities start to introduce numbers and letters, as well as creative development and learning about the amazing world around us.
Our unique Growing Enhancement Programmes prepare children in our pre-school for their transition to school; this includes Growing Readers, Writers, mathematicians, scientists and other curriculum areas and is bespoke to Bright Horizons.
We have two large outdoor areas, which are accessible from the pre-school room and baby room to encourage a free flow play, enabling the natural environment to shape children’s learning.
We also offer discounted rates to employees of MBHT (Morecambe Bay Hospital Trust). Please contact us for more information.
We look forward to welcoming you to our nursery.

Candy Floss
Hi, my name is Candy Floss, I joined Bright Horizons in March 2010 as the ‘Super Safety Hero’ to help nursery children stay safe and manage risks. My role as a Health and Safety Super Hero is unique to Bright Horizons and I’m in every nursery, 365 days a year.
Back in 2010, I saw a job advert for a Zebra Super Safety Hero – I was very excited, applied and was invited for an interview with several other zebras. We were interviewed by all the children who then voted on which of us would be their Super Safety Hero. It was hoof biting but I was thrilled when they told me I was the most voted for by the children who all loved me because of my cape and bag. My bag is very special, if something fits inside, it’s a choking hazard. You might be wondering how I got my name. The children in our nurseries chose five names and voted for their favourite. I love it as it’s unique, I mean have you ever heard of a zebra called Candy Floss? Exactly!
Why Bright Horizons
The Bright Horizons passion and enthusiasm for providing high-quality care isn’t just common knowledge within our own business – we’ve also gained some impressive accolades from external sources for excellence as both a childcare provider, and as an employer.
