    I have found all the key workers to be diligent, compassionate and hard-working. The new app is excellent to see what is happening on a daily basis. Would suggest this setting to any new parent. Both my kids have attended St Mary’s since they were nine months old, my youngest is now three and has just started preschool.

    Our son enjoyed attending highly much and formed great relationships with key workers and other kids. Team are welcoming; expert and upmost you get the impression that they genuinely care for each individual kid. Procedures have been crystal clear and well communicated throughout especially covid. Every team member we’ve interacted with has been outstanding. Daily photos and feedback via the app have also been remarkable. We have had nothing but a lovely and expert journey of this nursey setting.

    They have been understanding in every way possible and have helped the boys flourish in reaching their potential – we couldn’t ask for more. The boys are so cheerful there and we are so highly grateful for all the incredible work that everyone at St Mary’s do. Bright Horizons St Mary’s Abingdon have been absolutely incredible with all 3 of our boys.

    I cannot praise the team enough in all the rooms for the sheer level of warmth, care and attention they have shown my boys. They have thrived at the childcare centre and they do not stop talking about their key workers when they are not there. Everyone from management to kitchen team (the boys have allergies) have been so attentive at making sure my boys sense cared for and are consistently cheerful. I would suggest the childcare centre to anyone, especially if you are anxious about leaving your kid as I was, they couldn’t have made me sense more confident. A massive thank you from our family for looking after our boys like it’s a home from home. I have two kids at the childcare centre and the oldest who is now 3, has been attending since he was just 1 year old so has now been in babies through to toddlers, and now in over twos.

    She is highly creative and loves spending time in the mud garden with all her friends. She is encouraged to express herself through arts and crafts and when shown an interest in something the team recognise that and consistently follow it through. She loves having her hair put in princess plaits, her words by her key worker and consistently comes home with big smiles. The last twelve months have been difficult as there were so many changes in our lives but the childcare centre kept things as normal as possible which was nice and consistently bent over backwards to accommodate. Highly recommended. My daughter loves spending time at Bright Horizons St Mary’s Abingdon Day Childcare centre and Preschool.

    The activities in the toddler room seem excellent for his development and he seems highly settled and is making friends. Our son has been highly cheerful at the childcare centre, having started five days a week from one years old, with some breaks for the pandemic.

    I can sense that he is well looked after and engaged with throughout the day. Daily feedback is consistently clear and concise, it’s lovely to hear what my son has been up to during his day. It’s consistently difficult to leave your kid, but the team at St Mary’s are highly reassuring and supportive, able to settle my son quickly should he get upset.

    The team has gotten to know him and his needs to help him have the best days possible.
    We adore how much daily information we get and regular photos and artwork. Our 18-month-old consistently smiles when he gets to the door.

    There are a lot for the babies to delight in and lots of outdoor space too. My little boy is so cheerful here, the team are all so welcoming and compassionate. I would highly suggest. Such a lovely childcare centre, my little boy only started recently.

    We had a excellent journey settling in after months away from childcare centre. Our daughter loved it before lockdown (she’s been going for almost 2 years before lockdown) and still loves it now. She feels welcome and she is discovering a lot every day! I would highly suggest it for kids of any age! Highly welcoming setting and exceptionally expert service.

    We’ve had our kids in another childcare centre and this childcare centre is head and shoulders above them! They provide outstanding care and even though it’s a busy childcare centre they work with you on attentive for your kid and tailoring their care to ensure your kid is developing and discovering whilst still having enjoyable! Remarkable place with exceptional team and management team! An outstanding childcare centre!

    She enjoys all the activities provided and truly enjoys the outside toys and activities. The menus look highly great and judging by the feedback form, she enjoys almost everything that’s put on the plate, especially custard! The team are highly attentive and know everything that goes on and she has a strong bond with her key person. All in all my wife and I are impressed with the care, I would suggest this childcare centre. My daughter loves going to childcare centre, she has a excellent time with her friends and the team.

    My kid has settled in excellent and loves going. Key workers have all been lovely. We’re going to be sending our second kid there next year and upping the days of our eldest as we think it’s so beneficial for her. The childcare centre has excellent activities and outdoor spaces. Excellent childcare centre.

    She has such a close bond with her Key worker and everyone else working in the room makes us sense so welcome and comfortable. They provide her with so much adore and assistance as well as myself! The activities are consistently varied and she is consistently discovering something new! Couldn’t suggest this childcare centre more for those new parents worried about leaving their kids. The girls are excellent! My daughter absolutely loves childcare centre!

    I can not praise St Mary’s enough! The team are compassionate, attentive, understanding, welcoming, and super supportive!
    Having experienced all the rooms at St Mary’s (baby room up to preschool) I would highly suggest all friends and family to send their kids here! Truly sad to be leaving in August! Outstanding childcare centre! My daughter has been attending St Mary’s for over 3 years!

    Furthermore, his key person’s attention to getting him eating well and trying new foods has been remarkable. We have been highly impressed with their response to Covid-19 as well, being kept well informed and up to date with policies and drop off and pick up requirements. The care and attention to the development of my kid both emotionally and educationally has been remarkable.

    My son has been going to Bright Horizons St Mary’s Abingdon for 18 months and it’s been remarkable for him. It’s truly helped his development and all the team are exceptional. I’d suggest it to anyone! Absolutely fantastic childcare centre!

    And has made a friend whom he talks about at home and has even named toys after.
    The team are so welcoming and are cheerful to keep you updated with your kid’s day and your kid’s overall development. The team over a range of adult and kid-led activities for the kids and often focus on the kid’s individual interests to plan these activities.
    The kids have excellent access to the outside area and have a range of toys to explore.
    My son consistently goes into childcare centre with a smile and comes out with an even bigger one.
    The childcare centre has been so accommodating during this lockdown period allowing us to temporarily change my sons day. And have kept us well informed of any updates and changes. My son has made huge development within the toddler room at childcare centre.

    Our daughter has lots of enjoyable things to do and the childcare centre is truly supporting her discovering development. The team and key workers are all welcoming and compassionate and our daughter has truly bonded with her key workers in both the rooms she’s been in. The management team is outstanding and provides clear and supportive updates, especially given all the complications and changes during the pandemic. We have had a excellent journey with St Mary’s.
