    Couldn’t thank them enough. My son loves going to childcare centre, even if he does get upset in the morning, as soon as I’ve turned my back he’s having lovely cuddles being comforted and is playing so well. Really lovely childcare centre, all the team are so supportive of the parents and the kids, keeping you informed all the time, whether that’s a phone call or on the app.

    From the team, to the facilities, everything has been exceptional. Everyone consistently goes the extra mile to assistance 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. My daughter has been at Talbot since she was 9 months old, for three days a week and the whole journey has been outstanding.

    Her keyworker is very attentive and we really value the bond they have. It is very reassuring to talk to the room leader/key worker on pick up and drop off. We adore receiving updates throughout the day, particularly photos. All the team are very accommodating and as first time parents, to have our worries put to ease, means a lot. Seeing our daughter go into childcare centre cheerful, is the best feeling. We are very cheerful with the care our 17-month-old daughter gets from all the team.

    Team are consistently welcoming and work hard to assistance kids to development in their development while ensuring they delight in their experiences of childcare centre and preschool. Our daughter took a couple of months to settle in and during that time team were incredible at helping her to settle into childcare centre and now she loves her time here.

    The days are filled with enjoyable, creative and educational activities. The food that is served is very varied and healthy. I would suggest this childcare centre to any new parent. All of the team at Bright Horizons are remarkable.

    Never had any issues with either of my kids over the last three years. Would highly suggest. They have outdoor areas for all age groups, which is a real advantage, especially for kids who are there all day. Very imaginative and creative activities too, in a secure and cheerful setting. Very compassionate and attentive team.

    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 consistently seemed cheerful on collection. Eventually, he got to know the team and bonded with one of the team members and then when moved up groups later with another member of team. But even in their absence, he was cheerful 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 team of birthdays and special occasions and keep up to date on his development and needs. Really great childcare centre, team and flexibility.

    It has been a massive adjustment for all of us, but the team couldn’t have been kinder and make such an effort to make her sense more settled. You can sense how much everyone cares and it’s a very personable setting. 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. Our daughter started at Talbot Woods on 3/01/2023.

    They give the kids so many activities and she’s consistently doing something new., They are very attentive towards the kids and she consistently comes back cheerful and wanting to go. My daughter goes and she loves it.

    The team are excellent, so welcoming and communicate with me on drop off and pick up. I adore the online portal and I get lots of updates and pictures. The setting is consistently spotless and tidy. I also think the range of activities they come up with for the kids is exceptional! My son has been going to Bright Horizons for over 18 months now and I highly suggest it to any parent.

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

    Management are cheerful and approachable and acknowledge all the kids when in the building. Remarkable setting, excellent people and my kid has a lovely bond with all her key people and they have been very informative with information.

    Both kids adore coming to childcare centre and have excellent relationships with key workers. We have especially exceptional care from three members of team in particular. The cost can be difficult as I pay for two kids, four days a week, but knowing they are cheerful and well cared for does make it worth it. I think more opportunities for trips/walks outside childcare centre would be nice if I could change anything. Having both kids in this childcare centre, the care both kids have received has been exceptional.

    Both my kids are settled, supported, challenged and stimulated in all the best ways. The Talbot Woods team are welcoming and approachable and I trust and value their input on my kids’s early education. I can’t thank them enough and would suggest this childcare centre to everyone! The team at Talbot Woods Day Childcare centre are exceptional.

    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 adore this incredible childcare centre and preschool for adore, care, but also I sense like I trust the team – to me this is the most important aspect when somebody else is looking after my kid. 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 excellent time and that is what she does. I also see how much childcare centre loved on with times (I have the pleasure of actually witnessing it); so my adore for tech and ability to record the journey of kid, send me updates and all nuances around her development – adore it. Last, it is people who make this childcare centre so incredible. People who adore kids and people who I can trust. Absolutely incredible childcare centre – our family in fact.

    My daughter started at 9 months old back in 2021 and has now transitioned through three of the rooms within the day childcare centre. All of the team show such care, consideration and understanding to not only my kid, but the whole family, they have been able to create such lovely bonds with us all and really made such a difference in her growth and development. I would highly suggest Talbot Woods over and over. Both of my kids have now attended Talbot Woods and I would not dream of a better, more welcoming and perfect setting for them both.

    At the beginning, we were worried about his adaptation to the team and to the new setting, since we (parents) are international students, who had limited understanding of the childcare system in the UK. Nevertheless, with the help of the team, our son bonded with the team and happily goes to the childcare centre every morning. As a result, we gladly extended his time at the childcare centre from three half days, to five half days. Thank you very much for your care and assistance! We are cheerful with the level of the care and assistance that our two-year-old kid gets from the team at the childcare centre.

    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 cheerful and I was able to relax and get on with my work without worrying. His meals there are very nutritious and he seems to delight in every meal. Everyone who works at the childcare centre are so welcoming 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 cheerful so far and I would suggest this childcare centre 100%. My 1-year-old son has been at the childcare centre since May and after a few tears the first few weeks, he now absolutely loves it.

    Great updates from the girls in fireflies, who look after my daughter. They have sup[ported me and my daughter with her settling-in sessions and her first few days at childcare centre. Also, the team in bumblebees have helped my daughter settle into childcare centre. The childcare centre team are all very welcoming and the management team are cheerful to assist you in any queries you have.

    My son enjoys every moment of his time there. He appears to adore all the team, 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 journey possible. Updates is also very great, particularly with the new app, and it’s remarkable to get live updates and pictures during the day about what he has been up to! I can only say positive things about Talbot Woods Day Childcare centre.
