March 13, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been in Bright Horizons Otterbourne Day Nursery now since he was a toddler. Had nothing but a fantastic experience. He is now in preschool and he has developed immensely, no doubt due to the wonderful staff. They have started getting him prepared for school and the activities and focus they provide is outstanding. He is such a happy boy and has made so many wonderful friends and he loves going to nursery, has never once been hesitant. Couldn’t rate the nursery or team highly enough!

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of our daughters have loved their time at Bright Horizons, Otterbourne – one is now school age and she started with a great foundation thanks to the wonderful staff – her social skills were brilliant and she was school-ready. We were so impressed with the introduction to learning and the kind and caring atmosphere encouraged and upheld throughout their time at the nursery. My youngest is soon to leave, and I know she will miss everyone there, as will we. There is nothing better than dropping your child off, knowing they are with wonderful, lovely people who really care about them. We cannot thank them enough for the care they have given our girls. We can’t recommend them enough!

March 28, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children attend Bright Horizons, Otterbourne and have done since they were 10 months old. We have had an excellent experience with the nursery. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and clearly offer excellent care to all of the children. It has been wonderful to see my children thrive and learn in this nurturing environment. The management staff are also very helpful when it comes to dealing with personal matters such as pregnancy and do their best to be flexible when you need it. I really appreciate the regular updates and photographs we get that show the different activities the children get up to.

March 30, 2023 at 12:00 amWe love the nursery. It is clean and the staff are always upbeat and switched on. The team come up with really varied activities and regularly have a theme for the week, so my little one does something new and exciting each week. Staff are really engaged and great at communication (especially with this nervous first time mum!). Great outdoor space. It’s always tidy. The garden is split into sections, so babies/toddlers/preschoolers each have their own zones with appropriate equipment/toys.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amThere are not enough words to describe how incredible this setting has been for our daughter. The prospect of returning to work and leaving our firstborn somewhere was incredibly daunting, but from Day one this was the best decision we made.
She joined the nursery at 11 months old and is now 3.5 years old. She has been in the baby, toddler and now the nursery room and has thrived in each one. The team are absolutely outstanding, led by the most brilliant management team. They take care of her well-being alongside teaching her so much. Our twin daughters are due to join her shortly and we look forward to sharing more journeys over the years with the team at Otterbourne.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Bright Horizons Nursery in Otterbourne since she was 9 months old. She is now 2.5 years old and runs into nursery very happy and excited to see her friends and the team.
The nursery staff are brilliant and my daughter does so much whilst at nursery. The indoor space has plenty to allow children to develop and play. The outdoor space is big and they are able to explore and run around safely. There are slides, trikes, and garden activities.
The staff are very friendly, compassionate, sympathetic, supportive and always there to offer advice and guidance.
The nursery are very good at keeping parents up to date via the app, either with regular new letters, observations and photos. It informs you when your little one has had a nap or food and if there are any events coming up.
I highly recommend this nursery; from an anxious mummy dropping a 9-month-old off, to a relived and happy mummy.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery staff have been amazing, kind and caring and easy to talk to and discuss any concerns/worries we have had about our boys.
The boys have always had so much fun and getting involved in all of the activities and I love the outdoor space they have access to.

April 7, 2023 at 12:00 amWe moved our little one to this nursery six months ago and are so pleased with the way she has settled in. The staff are so helpful and friendly and our child comes home happy, looking forward to the next day. There are weekly themes and focus subjects to keep them engaged. It’s great to see some positive developments and how they encourage children to interact. Can’t recommend enough!

April 10, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is really fantastic. The staff are wonderful, and very caring. They really look after the children and our daughter has great relationships with all the adults in her room, not just her key worker. We have another baby on the way and will not hesitate to send them to the same nursery.

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been at Bright Horizons, Otterbourne for three years, having started in the baby room in Feb 2020. She has thrived there and is so ready for school in September. She has been supported with all her interests and is a confident and happy girl. The staff are always on hand to chat and help with any issues. Our new baby will be starting there next month to begin her nursery journey which we are excited about.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child loves nursery! The toddler room has lots of lovely opportunities, including crafts, water play and themed weeks. It’s great to see all the staff (from other rooms too) know all the children. The feedback is really good with the app.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been at Otterbourne for a year now and has had the best experience. He has thrived so much and blossomed thanks to the staff at Bright Horizons. They’re so warm and friendly and the pride they take in looking after the children is so wonderful to see. I cannot recommend it enough, it’s been amazing!

May 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy grandson has been with you for 18 months. He is a lovely boy and has learned how to share his toys and play with other children and has learned to do things on his own if he wants to. He has been learning about plants and how to grow them and comes home and tells me and always checks on the things we have at home, like sunflower seeds, broad beans and strawberries and, even, on our caterpillars that are growing into butterflies. He has done so well in his time, so far, with the Otterbourne Nursery. I can’t praise this nursery enough for what they have done for his development. Thank you.

June 19, 2023 at 12:00 amI have nothing but good things to say about Bright Horizons, Otterbourne.
Both my children have attended and each experience has been outstanding. The facilities are great with huge outdoor areas. The activities are fun and educational.
What makes the nursery even more amazing is each and every member of staff. They are excellent with the children and extremely supportive of the parents.
I highly recommend this nursery.

July 25, 2023 at 12:00 amSuch a friendly team and very welcoming. From the start I have felt very relaxed leaving my baby in their capable hands. They always give me a nice run down of what my son has been up to during the day and have loads of different toys for him to play with.
