Your Baby's Day
(3 - 18 months)
Find out how your baby will be nurtured and supported by our expert teams.
What Your Baby’s Day Will Look Like
Babies are on a big adventure - gently exploring, building trust, and learning to feel safe with the people around them. That sense of security gives them the confidence to reach out, crawl, and start discovering the world.
From the very first drop off, you can be confident that your baby will be in a safe, loving and engaging place, where our people will help them to grow and discover through familiar routines that are designed to feel just like home.
In their first precious months, it might seem like eat-sleep-cuddle-repeat, but each interaction is carefully structured to ensure your baby feels safe, loved, and secure. From playful song and rhyme sessions to hands-on sensory fun, we help every little explorer learn, grow, and thrive.
Your Baby's Routine
Morning Arrivals
We’ll ensure your baby feels safe and loved from the moment they arrive. Welcomed by your key person, it’s a chance for you to tell us about their night and share any updates that will help them settle in smoothly and have the best day possible with us.
Learning Through Play
From day one, babies are little explorers, taking in the world around them through sights, sounds, and touch.
Our baby rooms are filled with songs, giggles, and cuddles. Every day is a learning adventure with sensory play, engaging activities, books, songs, and lots of back-and-forth chatter, our people encourage every gurgle, babble, and first word.
Our experienced team will make sure your baby has the freedom to be curious while feeling secure and loved, guiding them every step of the way, to encourage those big (and little) discoveries. To find out more about our Bright Beginnings Curriculum click here.
Outdoor Adventures
Babies are naturally drawn to be curious about the world around them. Whether it’s the rustle of leaves, the feel of grass under tiny toes, or the joy of spotting a butterfly, we help babies build a deep and joyful connection with nature – by bringing it into everything we do, right from the start.
In our baby rooms, you’ll find plenty of natural elements to spark curiosity while outside, our thoughtfully designed play areas encourage babies to see, feel and explore the wonders of nature in a safe and secure environment. To find out more about our Forest School and Outdoor Play click here.
Nap Times
Rest is just as important as play! Our calm, cosy nap spaces will mirror your baby’s home routine as closely as possible for a sense of comfort and consistency.
Mealtimes
All our mealtimes are served in our home-style environments to encourage comfort and continuity. For babies on milk, we follow their feeding routine and can use expressed milk where needed (we also support on-site breastfeeding) ensuring bottle time is a calm, bonding experience with their trusted key person.
Whether it’s bottle feeds, weaning, or trying new foods, we’ll work with you to keep things familiar and reassuring. To find out more about our Food and Mealtimes click here.
Home Time & Sharing their Day with You
As part of our partnership with parents, you’ll get regular pictures and updates through our Family App so you know what your little one has been up to!
At pick-up, we’ll share highlights with you, how well they napped, what they ate and all those little milestones of growing awareness and learning.
Our Baby Rooms
Happy, healthy development starts with building trust and confidence. That’s why we do baby rooms differently! Thoughtfully designed to feel like a living room, they’re warm, familiar, and full of people they can learn to trust.
Our spaces are set up with little explorers in mind. With plenty of room to roll, reach, grasp, and enjoy ‘Tummy Time,’ babies can move and grow at their own pace. Every piece of furniture is carefully chosen and arranged to support their big developmental leaps.
“Our child started at Bright Horizons when he was 9 months old and from day one he loved it. The staff have been fantastic with him and it’s great to see how happy he is when he’s there. We love the updates that they provide on the app so we can see what activities they will be getting up to during the day and we love that each day is different.”

Our curriculum is built around five distinct areas of learning, thoughtfully woven into engaging activities that nurture practical abilities and essential life skills.
Food and Mealtimes
Nutritious and delicious – find out how our mealtimes encourage independence, and a love of good food.
Outdoor Adventures
Whether they’re chasing butterflies, building castles in the sand, or imagining jungles in the trees, in our nurseries, every day is a new adventure in discovering the world around them.
Childcare Funding
Covering the cost of childcare isn’t always easy, especially in the current financial climate. The UK government offers a range of funded childcare schemes to help lighten the financial load.
Your Toddler's Day
Racing, crashing, whirling, twirling. Play is the ‘work’ of children, that’s why our activities enable them to learn about themselves, express their creativity, and start to develop key skills.
Your Preschooler's Day
Whether they're chatty and confident or a little shy and unsure, time in our preschool will help your child to find their feet, make friends, and start discovering the world around them.
