Bright Horizons at RAF Northolt

Our son joined Bright Horizons at 11 months old and we refer to them as his “work family”. He loved it from the very beginning. The care given is outstanding not only from his key workers but all of them. In the baby room, they really encouraged him to what level he was comfortable and did lots of development activities which we also took on at home as he enjoyed them so much. He’s now moved up to the 2-3 year room and continues to do well. One of the things we love is the nutrition of the meals which are made on site and the no pressure environment. Would highly recommend all aspects.

Our whole family is delighted that our little girl can go to this wonderful place of care and learning.
She is there full time, five days a week – and I’m pretty sure she enjoys it a lot. She seems so happy and excited every morning when we drop her off – and chatty and happy when we pick her up in the afternoon. The place is very welcoming and friendly – and you cannot fault their safety and security.

The personal attention all babies get is really nice and touching, and she bonded well with her key person and buddies. We both work full time with no family around to chip into childcare, so for us it vital that we know she’s happy and enjoying her days while we are apart. They do so many exciting things – I don’t think I could provide that much stimulation if we were at home together. The little ones seem to learn something new each day.

Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and love the staff.

Our 2-year-old son started with Bright Horizons not long ago, and as his first nursery setting, we were nervous as to how he would cope. We needn’t have been. The staff were so welcoming, talking us through the settling process and ensuring the best options to make it a smooth transition. Always there to greet us on arrival, they created quick bonds with our son making drop-offs a breeze and provide daily feedback at pick up.
We haven’t looked back. Our son is thriving and loving every minute there.
Couldn’t recommend it more!

We have sent our son to Bright Horizons Nursery for the past 2.5 years and throughout we have been thoroughly impressed by the staff and everything that they do. Professional, caring and very competent. The team have never once given us cause for concern. The ultimate test is that our son has been happy throughout. The staff at the nursery are clearly a strong team. Please do not change a winning formula! Additionally, the catering team do an excellent job of producing a varied and nutritious menu. The building could be improved with air conditioning and/or sunshades. The Bluebells classroom gets extremely hot during the summer months.

Both my children have attended Bright Horizons @ RAF Northolt, with my youngest still attending. I have been extremely happy with the care they received and how they support them getting ready for school. The staff within the whole nursery are caring towards all children. They still make an effort, asking my eldest how his day at school was when we come to collect. The management team are always welcoming and willing to help if I have any queries regarding anything.

Where do I start! Both of my children have been at the nursery over the last year. My son started school in September and was fully prepared after the great job all the staff did with him. My daughter is still there as she is now 2. My little girl is thriving, she is so well looked after and just loves the girls in her room. She constantly talks about them at home and gets very excited to go in each day. I get regular updates from her key worker and I feel like I’m genuinely cared about. My husband has been on deployment with our military and they are very good at helping with any concerns I have. The ladies on the reception desk are always lovely, they always chat and ask how everyone is and if there’s anything we need. We get information every day on what the children have eaten and what they’ve been up to as well as a newsletter emailed out. I always feel comfortable enough to be able to ask questions and have input, which is very important. The communication is spot on.

Our little boy started at Bright Horizons aged 10months. He attends Full-time Monday – Friday. Since being at Bright Horizons, they have worked alongside us as parents to assist with helping him eat better, socialise and walk. We get weekly phone calls and work with his key worker to ensure we are doing the same work at home as at nursery. He’s come on so much and he’s happy. In the 6 weeks since attending he now eats everything and we don’t worry that he will be hungry or only want puréed food. He has learnt many songs and at home, he sits and shows us actions. He walks and talks all day. It’s been a pleasure watching him adapt and become more confident.

Excellent nursery. The daily activities are very educational and my daughter appears to be developing very well. The activities range from painting to familiarity with computers. The staff knows my daughter very well, and the managers are very involved in welfare. The staff keeps you informed of the day’s events via the app throughout the day and gives a thorough handover upon collection. This includes any map times and food consumed. My daughter is extremely happy at this nursery and we are sending our youngest child there too.

My little boy attends Bright Horizons at RAF Northolt and has been going for a little while now. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting, he absolutely loves it there and all the team that works there and so do we! They really care about your little ones and are just as invested as you are in your little ones. I can’t recommend this nursery enough! Bluebells are great!

We visited Bright Horizons for our parents’ evening. The staff were so friendly and helpful with questions and they set up tables to explain different activities the children take part in. We got to talk to everyone and had a good chat with our son’s key person.
