    The teachers are really nice and very friendly with the child. I like the way they teach concepts to the child while allowing them to indulge in play. They observe the child and its activities very carefully and provide good feedback of the child. I see my son has become more bold and comfortable around new people.

    Our little girl has settled so quickly and that’s totally down to the kind, caring and wonderful staff. It’s so nice knowing she’s having such a lovely time – we couldn’t ask for more!

    My daughter started nursery from September and she absolutely loves it. I was worried a lot as she used to go different nursery before and used to cry all the time, as never wanted to stay there. Huge thank you to all staff, they are doing a great job. Always feel welcome in the nursery. My daughter settled very quickly due to professional and lovely staff. She always wants to go to nursery now which I am happy about. It is nice to know there is a tidy and clean environment around your child. I do not have to worry anymore about my little one when I leave her there, as I trust nursery staff 100%.

    It’s the best Nursery we could have hoped for! All the staff are lovely and supportive even when busy they make time! Lots of great advice and just a fun and loving environment from front doors to the garden. I love that the outdoors is a big part of their play and learn and food is prepared from scratch! Always makes me feel hungry with delicious smells of cooking.
    I needed a lot of support this year and all the staff have been amazing in their support and encouragement. It’s a real community! Thank you so much to everyone at Quayside.

    Bright Horizons Nursery is a lovely and friendly place being welcomed from the moment you walk through the front doors. My daughter settled in very quickly thanks to all the staff supporting her and making her feel so welcome. As a parent, there are always times when I need to ask for extra support or have a quick chat and the ladies at reception are amazing. It doesn’t matter if they’re busy or not they will always make time for you to discuss any needs or issues you might have. Overall, I definitely recommend Bright Horizons Nursery to any parent thinking about taking their child to a nursery.

    Thanks to the lovely ladies working hard at Bright Horizons, my child is learning lots of good things and is a visible and happy child that loves to play and super chatty. I love the fact that it’s a super welcoming place that’s made by the staff who always have happy smiles and always interact with us passing good vibes and energy. Thank you Quayside Nursery.

    I have known the nursery since 2016 when my son joined and my 3-years-old currently attends Quayside and loves it. They help you so much with potty training and finding your child’s strength and weaknesses and makes them thrive. They were also so supportive when my son was expecting a baby sister and got activity’s out involving bathing baby’s and reading books about babies, it was such a great help and good experience for my son. The nursery is amazing, and have never had an issue with anyone or anything regarding Quayside. What I love most, is they treat your children like there own and give them all the affection they need when upset or tired etc. Good job Quayside nursery, it’s been a pleasure!

    I can not recommend Quayside enough, my child has been there for 2 years and we have never had any issues. The staff here are on another level, they are so caring and really listen to the children’s needs (once they are able to talk obviously prior to that the team in the baby room have amazing intuition) and get to know the children as individuals, allowing them to partake in activities they want to do as opposed to just in the larger group. My daughter has flourished there and considering she is only at the nursery for 2.5 days a week I think that speaks for itself. Once my son arrives in June I will definitely be booking him in a year in advance. The manager and the team are honestly a godsend, especially during these lockdowns, I don’t know where we would be without them, nothing is too much even if I’m just calling them with a daft question!

    The staff at the nursery at fantastic, my daughter is so excited to go in the morning and is always greeted by a smiling face at the door. When she comes home she is full of enthusiasm and talks about all the staff by name, In particular, her key worker. The only issue we have is that since lockdown we have not been able to gage my daughter’s progress in terms of development. A virtual parents evening would be really helpful to see how she is meeting her milestones.

    My daughter has been going here from the age of 7 months. As a first-time mother, the staff have helped me so much in raising my child and to cope at home. My little one is 4 years old and has learned many skills from the nursery. Staff are understanding and support the different needs of each child, respect all backgrounds and try to do as much as possible.

    I cannot recommend Bright Horizons enough. My little one has been with them part-time since she was 9 months and loves it. The communication and support are great and it has a really safe, caring feel!

    An absolutely wonderful nursery. You need to experience this for yourself as it is amazing, and the staff go above and beyond. My personal experiences with Quayside have been excellent. I can not find the words to describe how amazing this place is.

    My middle child attended the nursery from seven months old till school age and now my little one has been there since she was eleven months old. The nursery staff are always professional and patient with my child. She comes home with all these positive stories about the staff. The manager is very prompt in responding to queries and always willing to help. I am very happy with the service my family are currently receiving from the nursery. I will strongly recommend them anytime any day.

    Absolutely outstanding nursery, staff are polite, kind and very professional. They have helped my son to progress with his speech, walking (when he was learning first steps). Very supportive and an overall good nursery.

    I couldn’t have found a better nursery! It’s absolutely brilliant. My son is autistic and hated going to the previous childcare provider, however, since starting with the manager and the girls, he just blossoms so much. He is always doing something and comes home exhausted (which can be hard due to his autism).
    He loves all the girls and is always excited to go in. The team is understanding, accommodating and offer support with everything, even if it’s something that affects his behaviour outside the nursery.
    They are always updating their training, and his key person participates in anything to do with his therapies to better help him.
    A simple ‘thank you girls’ is not enough, so hopefully, this can reflect how grateful my family is!

    Our daughter has been coming to Bright Horizons Quayside for almost four years and we could not fault a thing. All of the workers are excellent and we have never had any issues. We feel happy knowing that our child is safe and being well looked after.

    My daughter absolutely loves every day in preschool and rushes me almost every morning to get out the door as quickly as possible and always wants to stay longer at pick up time. She loves all aspects of her day and is always asking for me to recreate the games and meals from nursery, at home.

    Bright Horizons, Quayside is amazing. All of the staff are so helpful and supportive. Our little boy is adopted and finds some things hard especially being out of routine. Quayside have been nothing but supportive of both our son and us since he has started there, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
    I’m genuinely so happy we got our son a place here, absolutely amazing staff, facilities and great food choices.

    Our daughter transferred to Quayside Nursery from a Bright Horizons in London. The process was very easy. Our daughter had lots of settles to help the transition and all the staff have been very welcoming and friendly. The staff have worked really hard to establish a great relationship with our daughter and she’s very happy. The team follow the interests of the children and set up amazing activities for them to enjoy. The outside space is great and our daughter loves going to the forest to search for the Gruffalo!
