Bright Horizons Otterbourne Day Nursery and Preschool is set within a beautiful character building, offering exceptional facilities for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Conveniently located near the A3090 with easy access from Junction 9 of the M3, our nursery is ideal for commuting families.
Our enriching Nurture Approach, designed by Early Years specialists, ensures every child receives the best possible start. This wellbeing-focused framework builds on the government’s EYFS curriculum and introduces a wide range of activities to develop confidence, independence, and essential skills.
Children thrive in a lively, stimulating environment filled with opportunities to learn through play. From creative role play and sensory exploration to construction and problem-solving, every activity is designed to spark imagination and build strong foundations for learning. Through our Growing Enhancements and Ready for School Programme, children are supported as Growing Readers, Writers, Mathematicians, and Artists. Popular activities such as Boogie Mites bring music and movement into learning, making every day fun and engaging.
Our qualified preschool teacher helps older children prepare for school and beyond, teaching practical life skills like serving themselves at mealtimes, tying shoelaces, and communicating effectively. Babies and toddlers enjoy their own safe, cosy gardens, while older children share a large outdoor space featuring an external classroom, climbing equipment, woodland walk, and mud kitchen. Covered areas allow for fresh-air play in all weather, and regular trips to local woodlands, fields, and the library on our very own bus add extra adventure.
Families stay connected through the Bright Horizons Family app, and our onsite chef prepares nutritious meals daily using fresh ingredients. We also provide snacks, nappies, wipes, creams, and formula to make mornings easier. Children can rest in our cosy sleep room, and with onsite parking and excellent transport links, drop-offs and pick-ups are simple.
