Bright Horizons Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool

I can only say positive things about Talbot Woods Day Nursery. My son enjoys every moment of his time there. He appears to love all the staff, and I must say that his key workers really do show a real desire to enhance his development and make sure he has the happiest experience possible. Communication is also very good, particularly with the new app, and it’s fantastic to get live updates and pictures during the day about what he has been up to!

Since starting the nursery at 7 months old, my child has had the best care from the staff at this nursery. They have and still do, tend to her needs and keep me informed with any issues. My child is now 19 months old and has come on leaps and bounds. I couldn’t fault this nursery in any way.

My son has been going to Bright Horizons for over 18 months now and I highly recommend it to any parent. The staff are great, so friendly and communicate with me on drop off and pick up. I love the online portal and I get lots of updates and pictures. The setting is always clean and tidy. I also think the range of activities they come up with for the children is brilliant!

My daughter goes and she loves it. They give the children so many activities and she’s always doing something new., They are very caring towards the children and she always comes back happy and wanting to go.

My 1-year-old son has been at the nursery since May and after a few tears the first few weeks, he now absolutely loves it. I get updated throughout the day with pictures and what he has been up to, which I look forward to seeing via the app. This helped me so much in the first few weeks when he was upset and they were so quick at updating me and letting me know that he had settled and was happy and I was able to relax and get on with my work without worrying. His meals there are very nutritious and he seems to enjoy every meal. Everyone who works at the nursery are so friendly and welcoming and my son seems to have already bonded with his key worker and the other girls that work in his group. Myself and my son are very happy so far and I would recommend this nursery 100%.

Really good nursery, staff and flexibility. My son has been attending since Sept 2020. Although he was scared at first being a covid isolation baby and we could not do any settling-in sessions, he did well. The girls helped reassure me that the tears didn’t last very long and he always seemed happy on collection. Eventually, he got to know the staff and bonded with one of the staff members and then when moved up groups later with another member of staff. But even in their absence, he was happy to go on in. They now have an interactive app which allows me to see what he has been up to whilst there and also monitor his nappy/sleep patterns which was a huge help when we potty trained and it took him a week to go completely dry. You can also share pictures with the staff of birthdays and special occasions and keep up to date on his development and needs.

Our daughter started at Talbot Woods on 3/01/2023. It has been a massive adjustment for all of us, but the staff couldn’t have been kinder and make such an effort to make her feel more settled. You can feel how much everyone cares and it’s a very personable environment. We’ve been really touched by all the little photos and descriptive updates on the app and the pictures and little cookie that she had made/decorated that we will treasure forever. Thank you to all.

All of the staff at Bright Horizons are fantastic. The days are filled with fun, creative and educational activities. The food that is served is very varied and healthy. I would recommend this nursery to any new parent.

Absolutely amazing nursery – our family in fact. My first one has been through all stages and now the second one is in the toddler’s room (made transition from babies just recently). We truly love this incredible nursery and preschool for love, care, but also I feel like I trust the team – to me this is the most important aspect when somebody else is looking after my child. From transition now I see that age developmental needs are considered and quite frankly my daughter is smiling and being so pumped to go back, is the best testimony. I want her to have a great time and that is what she does. I also see how much nursery loved on with times (I have the pleasure of actually witnessing it); so my love for tech and ability to record the journey of child, send me updates and all nuances around her development – love it. Last, it is people who make this nursery so amazing. People who love children and people who I can trust.

My daughter has been at Talbot since she was 9 months old, for three days a week and the whole experience has been excellent. From the staff, to the facilities, everything has been brilliant. Everyone always goes the extra mile to support us with new stages, such as the current potty training, which has been a huge help! We are very pleased and my daughter loves it here! Thank you.
