Bright Horizons Barrow Day Nursery and Preschool

My second child is finishing at the nursery this summer as he is going to school. He has been at the nursery from 10 months old and my daughter prior to this was also at the nursery for 4 years before going to school. In the 6 years I have dealt with the nursery I have had no issues whatsoever, with nothing but praise for the quality of care my children have received. The classroom environment is lovely and the staff are amazing. A lot of the staff have been there throughout the last 6 years and have developed such lovely relationships with both myself and my children. I could not have asked for a better start for my children – thank you to everyone at the nursery.

The best nursery around no job is too big or small and the staff do there utmost to keep every child safe and happy!
My little one loves going to nursery and always talks about his teachers at home which is so reassuring as I know he’s happy!
The manager and deputy always have their door open and I feel I can go and speak to them about any aspect of the nursery!
Thank you to all the girls at Bright Horizons you make my little one so happy which in return makes me a happy mummy!!

Out of 3 nurseries, my oldest daughter has attended, Barrow Bright Horizons is the best. The staff are experienced, and the staff turnover appears to be low, so the children receive consistent care. The fees are expensive, but the level of service is high. They have never lost my daughter’s belongings and do lots of activities. They even send activity bags home so there is a crossover with the learning and books they cover at nursery. Both my daughters also like the food, and they get 3 meals a day and are stuffed when they get home. The baby room staff are very caring and form a real bond with the kids in my experience. In the baby room, my daughter is changed regularly and never comes home sores, which sounds obvious, but has not been my experience at other nurseries.

Very good Nursery. Staff approachable and management are very helpful. Even during the pandemic support was given. Very clean and well maintained for the children. My child has enjoyed going to the nursery, bonded well with the key workers.
Keep it up.

My daughter has settled amazingly into the nursery. As a ‘lockdown baby’ I was really anxious about how she would be at being left at the setting having had very little contact with other people except for immediate family, but all the staff have been so lovely and reassuring and she settles really well. The drop of and collection feels really covid safe, you can see how important everyone’s safety is which is also reassuring. My child has a dairy allergy and the food that she has for her meals have been brilliant and varied, she is loving it which makes for a happy mummy and daddy too knowing she is eating well throughout the day. In her bag at the end of the day, there is a lovely little note that tells us everything we need to know, how she has been, what she has been doing, how she has eaten, slept and nappies (which are provided another bonus that I don’t have to remember those too!) We are very happy and most importantly so is our daughter.

Our little boy has a EHCP in place which the nursery has been so helpful and supportive from the start with his additional needs and getting the EHCP set up. I honestly cannot praise the nursery enough, I dread the day he has to leave to start school. His needs are met and catered to and the feedback we receive on how his day has been is wonderful. I can actually relax when he’s in nursery knowing that first of all not only is he safe but he’s actually enjoying his time there.

We have never met a member of staff that doesn’t appear to be loving their job and being around the children. They’re all wonderful, it says it all in the low staff turnover

Friendly, welcoming staff who put the care of the children at the centre of all they do. Always met with a smile when dropping off and ask how my daughter is that day and information passed over clearly on collection. Play and learning at home bags are a lovely touch to take home which we have enjoyed doing together. My daughter settled in from day one with no problems and has always enjoyed going in to nursery, which is reassuring.

I can’t recommend Bright Horizons in Barrow enough. The staff and team are lovely and have cared for my son since he was just over 12 months old.
They’ve made transitions and changes extremely comfortable.
They post regularly on the parent app informing of daily activities.
The mix between structured and free play is one of my favoured parts about the nursery.
They always inform me of any changes in my child straight away, such as temp rise, etc which is reassuring.
If you are considering sending your child here, I would highly recommend it. They thoroughly deserve their awards and successful Ofsted report.

We absolutely couldn’t fault the nursery and all the staff. It’s very nerve racking going back to work after a year off on maternity leave and having to leave your baby in a nursery but honestly from the moment my little girl started we’ve felt she’s safe and happy, that’s all we could wish for. I feel like her key worker and staff know her so well. She had come on so much since starting. We love the updates what she’s been doing whilst she’s been at nursery and seeing photos of her. They always update sleeps, food and nappy changes on the day as well. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Staff are incredibly professional, caring and attentive. Always willing to support in any way they can. My daughter absolutely loves the nursery and she is thriving there. I am very pleased with the level of care which my daughter receives. I am also pleased with the variety of activities provided.
