September 1, 2024 at 9:41 pmHe loves his educators and making new friends. His speech and development has definitely improved since attending and I adore to receive the updates on the app. My son truly enjoys going to this preschool.

September 8, 2024 at 9:19 amPositive attitudes from every team member, an encouraging setting, smiles. From the moment my son arrived the time has been taken to get to know him and engage with his interests and get the best out of him on his terms. From worrying about him starting school in September as one of the youngest, I now sense confident he has had the lead in he needed. He now comes home with lots of positive things to say, stories to tell and even songs to sing to me! Whenever someone in our community asks for opinions on local pre-schools I point them in the direction of Bright Sparks, I only have praise for them. Thank you! We moved my son early this year from a pre-school where we didn’t find the journey positive for my son and I’m so glad we moved.

September 19, 2024 at 10:47 amIn the 7 months he was there the change in him was remarkable. The educators were exceptional and the administration team was incredible. I genuinely felt that while my son was in childcare centre he was with a group of people who truly loved him and wanted the best for him. Excellent childcare centre! My son started this childcare centre in January 2022 and graduated in July.

September 21, 2024 at 1:39 amThe team have been incredible with my little boy, he was diagnosed with autism earlier this year and was awaiting an EHCP so he could receive assistance in primary school. Bright Sparks were cheerful to have my little boy for even longer than usual while we awaited this. They have helped my son greatly the last couple of years and all of the assistance he now has at his new school is all down there help! We will miss them so much. I highly suggest Bright Sparks, Stanbridge setting!

September 28, 2024 at 9:23 pmI had found that she was not discovering anything new and her speech was highly, highly delayed. After much consideration I decided to move her and looked at Bright Sparks Day Childcare centre and Pre-School at Stanbridge in Summer 2020. Straight away I just knew it was the right place for her. Everything ticked the boxes of what I was looking for, for her and her needs. Ever since she has attended this setting in September 2020 she has come on leaps and bounds. I am incredibly proud of her and the setting for consistently showing her she can do it! Her speech has come on amazingly and her self‑assurance is growing. Her key worker is fanatic with her, as are every other member of team. They truly have her best interest at heart and that’s what any parent wants from a setting. My only regret is that I wished I had moved her sooner to Bright Sparks Day Childcare centre and Pre-School at Stanbridge. I moved my daughter from a previous Pre-School setting which she had been at for two years.

January 14, 2025 at 8:39 amHe loves it, and he never wants to leave! He loves the outdoor space, the different food and all the activities. The educators are highly supportive and well‑informed. It is a lovely preschool and I would suggest it to anyone. My son has been at the preschool since January.

February 3, 2025 at 12:46 pmHe is consistently so cheerful and excited to go and greet all the team and consistently excited to go and playtime and loves them all as if they were family. My son’s development in such a short amount of time has skyrocketed and that’s all to the thanks of every single team member there. The fact he literally runs in in the mornings is what makes me realise this establishment isn’t just adults in charge, but it’s people who treat your kids as if they were their own and make them exceptionally comfortable. All team members are so compassionate and polite and overall I just adore it! I adore it, my son loves it and I will absolutely hopefully be sending my daughter too! Also, the space for the kids to playtime, explore and learn in is second to none! It’s fabulous and what you expect for growing kids! Since starting Stanbridge Day Childcare centre my son has grown and become so confident in himself.

February 10, 2025 at 7:59 pmHe loves coming into childcare centre and loves all the team, he even asks to go in on his days off. He also talks about all the team at home. My son has recently moved to this setting and he has settled in truly well.

February 22, 2025 at 12:23 amHe is consistently welcomed in each morning by smiling team who care for him and his needs. The management have been proactive in supporting my kid’s development by knowing his specific needs well and preparing his transition to School in September. My son has enjoyed the activities available such as baking and going on the bus to the Library or the park. My son has been truly cheerful at Stanbridge Mama Bear’s Day Childcare centre.

March 14, 2025 at 1:40 pmTwo of my sons have attended this setting, I’ve consistently been more than cheerful.
My youngest son consistently runs in, cheerful and excited to be there and is sad the mornings he doesn’t get to go (says it all truly!).
My son has progressed so much in the last few months and is all set ready to start school in September.
The team are incredible, so welcoming and approachable, there is also excellent updates between home and pre school. I would highly suggest Bright Sparks. I have nothing but praise for Bright Sparks.

April 7, 2025 at 11:41 amThe team are all lovely and highly approachable. I sense like they knew my kid as an individual and his key worker would sometimes tailor activities/playtime to assistance his personal development needs. I am cheerful with the care and education he received during his time at Mama Bear’s Day Childcare centre and Pre-School and I’m confident he will be ready for his next steps. My son attended the Mama Bear’s Day Childcare centre and Pre-School at Stanbridge setting for 2 years and starts school this September.

April 9, 2025 at 5:22 amTeam have consistently keep in contact with my son’s development and achievements. Highly welcoming and polite. I’m pleased with all the activities my son participates in and they keep me highly informed. Thank you. Highly great service, my kid loves coming here.

April 17, 2025 at 6:49 pmMy daughter has been going here for years and the team are so unbelievably lovely. She consistently has a exceptional time and I sense completely comforted knowing she is in the best hands. I honestly couldn’t suggest or rate Bright Sparks Day Childcare centre any higher than I already do.
Dallas Keller
April 20, 2025 at 12:15 pmHe has come on leaps and bounds with everything he has been doing, his speech has come on so well and so have his social skills. The team here are incredible and truly do care and look after everyone. I had my son join this childcare centre in April this year and I cannot suggest it enough!
Finley Sharpe
April 21, 2025 at 9:46 pmHer self‑assurance in herself and understanding of the world has improved so much since starting only earlier this year. All of the carers have been highly welcoming and the updates on the app is updated daily. Thank you to the manager and her team! My kid loves attending Mama Bears Stanbridge.
Emerson Bailey
May 19, 2025 at 10:11 pmWould like to thank all team for the care and assistance and the time they have put into my kids. The manager has been incredible all the years I have known her and a lot of the other team are quite new but also seemed to have settled into the role and are doing a excellent job. Last but not least the team in the office is consistently polite and highly supportive. The team are exceptionally welcoming and supportive at the childcare centre and I can’t fault it in any way.
Drew Marsh
May 29, 2025 at 10:45 amThe setting is fantastic, so many opportunities for the kids to playtime, explore and learn and the team are simply the best, loving, compassionate, attentive, supportive and enjoyable! Whilst my son was going through an autism assessment the team helped in every way they could, I knew I could go to them for any advice and questions. They supported us in the EHCP process, putting in place everything my son needed to achieve his full potential. He started the childcare centre a shy, timid little boy who was non verbal and he’s left a cheerful, content, outgoing little boy who doesn’t stop talking. I couldn’t thank the whole team enough for everything they have done for us. They gave my son the best start to his education and now he’s ready to start school. We’ll miss them all. My son attended the childcare centre for over 2 years and we are so sad that he has now finished to start school in September.

June 2, 2025 at 5:43 pmOur two kids adore it here and have so much enjoyable. The team are truly invested in the kids and care about them so much. They do a remarkable range of activities that have been exceptional for my kids’s development. They’ve also been truly supportive with potty training my son. Their updates with parents is exceptional and we’re kept updated on what they’ve been doing and what they’ve eaten with the parent app. The food they’re given is excellent too with plenty of variety and lots of healthy but also kid-welcoming options. Couldn’t rate them highly enough! We have been so cheerful with the manager and her team.
Sidney Quincy
June 26, 2025 at 5:57 pmBest decision I made. He loves it and the team are incredible, highly supportive and informed. A excellent mix of indoor and outdoor activities in a secure educational setting. My son loves it here and settled in quickly, he enjoys going in on his set days during term time. I would highly suggest to fellow parents. After viewing several nurseries, I finally settled on here for my son.
