Bright Horizons Brockley Day Nursery and Preschool

My son has settled into Bright Horizons Brockley so quickly and easily. The staff there are lovely from the moment your child walks into the building they are greeted by all staff with a magical smile. The set up is just brilliant every day. They provide as much information as they can throughout the day on the activities the children are engaged in by far this was the best decision to send him here.

Our son has a severe speech disorder and attends regular speech therapy both on the NHS and independently. He requires a high level of support and monitoring, both with his speech production and his ability to socialise with his peers. The managers and staff have been overwhelmingly supportive – they work consistently with our Speech and Language Therapist to implement recommendations while our son is in their care and regularly review and adapt approaches with our input. It has made a marked difference in his speech and his confidence. All managers and staff are super friendly and attentive, clearly taking the time to get to know children on an individual basis so that, in all their interactions, they make each child feel at ease. For instance, our son has a few atypical traits/behaviours – e.g. when arriving at nursery, he likes to hide and have a staff member greet him with a peek-a-boo, which they are always happy to do! We are all so happy with Brockley Bright Horizons – cannot fault them at all!

My son started at this nursery in January 2020. Immediately, we faced the lockdown, but ever since starting again, there has been tremendous improvement in his overall development. The staff are very helpful and adhere to any of our concerns. They take special care of any child who needs extra help with daily activities. Various activities and learning as per the age are carefully chosen for children. My son enjoys going to the nursery thoroughly. We are very happy with the nursery overall.

We were looking for an interim nursery place for our 10-month-old before a space became available at our local nursery. Thankfully we then discovered Bright Horizons Brockley! From the moment staff responded to my initial enquiry, I knew we would be in good hands. I had been apprehensive about joining a nursery chain but they have successfully created a loving and nurturing home from home whilst maintaining a level of professionalism you’d expect from a larger organisation. Each and every one of the staff we met were incredibly welcoming and showed great care and familiarisation towards our son – even the team members who were not assigned to the baby room. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and it was with an incredibly heavy heart that we waved goodbye for the last time on Friday.

Have been very impressed with the nursery. Our daughter loves going there every time, and all staff are warm and friendly. Very good communication in relation to sleep, food, nappy and activities communicated through app. Was worried that the chain nature would be to detriment, but have not experienced any downside from this. Flexibility of staff to accommodate varying work schedule has also been greatly appreciated. Mark as “good” only on cost as it is more expensive than other facilities locally, but I still view this as “good” value for money when considering quality of staff and facilities.

My son started to attend the nursery in September 2021, he loves the nursery and the carers. The settling went smooth and my son cannot wait for Wednesday and Thursday to meet his friends. Staff are really professional, friendly and always ready to cooperate with parents to meet their needs. My son is not a big eater, so to help him to have a better approach with the food, they started to read books and did activities related to healthy eating and I really appreciate all the effort that the carers made to help him. All the managers are also fantastic at welcoming the children with a big smile in the morning and really helpful and flexible to accommodate varying work schedules. I cannot ask for more… excellent childcare provider!

Brilliant nursery, couldn’t imagine my child going anywhere else. The staff are so helpful, kind and caring, I really appreciate them. My son loves nursery and has such a great relationship with the staff. The management team are thoughtful and kind and the key workers are phenomenal.

We’ve sent two children to Brockley, Bright Horizons and couldn’t be happier. The staff are universally lovely and you can tell how much everyone cares about the children. We very much feel that the carers take an active interest in the children’s well-being and we’ve been very grateful for their help and advice from everything from potty training, to battling various toddler illnesses. The activities are thoughtful and fun. Our son, exactly like our daughter, loves being there and is clearly thriving.

We’re so happy we picked Bright Horizons! We were really nervous putting our son in nursery at 7 months old but the settling-in process was so smooth and he didn’t cry once. He’s now been there five months and absolutely loves it! We are so grateful to everyone who works there and are super impressed with the menus, the app and the lovely activities the thoughtful staff in BS1 plan for the babies.

Have had my little one at Brockley, Bright Horizons for nearly four years and I’m always so grateful for the wonderful care, time and interest he receives. Communications are very clear. The management team are wonderful and always accommodating and supportive. They take genuine care of all staff, children and parents.
My little one is in launch pad and he has jumped miles ahead with the wonderful team there.
Staff are always happy. You never really see any new faces but long-tenured, experienced, kind and knowledgeable carers in the room. Four staff members, in particular, are brilliant and my little one loves going to nursery. They always come up with great activities, take them on little trips and explore.
