Bright Horizons Barford Day Nursery and Preschool

The nursery staff are nothing short of fantastic! Our daughter loves being there and even squeals with delight when we’re greeted at the door.
They have been moving her onto cows milk and drinking from a sippy cup, which thanks to their dedication she’s getting the hang of.
She was a tad poorly recently and they just took amazing care of her, phoning to update us and ensuring she had lots of cuddles and attention.
Both my husband and I work full time and this wouldn’t be possible if she hadn’t settled in as well as she has, again all thanks to the amazing nursery staff. I really cannot speak highly enough, the nursery is just brilliant.

Our daughter absolutely loves Barford Nursery, as do we. When we drop her off in the morning she toddles through the door to see all her friends with a beaming smile. From the moment we first came to visit the nursery we were welcomed with such warmth from all of the staff and felt that it was a very caring, safe and nurturing environment to leave our daughter. We enjoy reading our daughter’s daily reports and speaking to the staff about what she got up to that day, which makes us feel connected to her and her day even though we are at work. Her development book is lovely to read with reports and photographs of her week and gives us confidence that she is constantly being helped in her development, we have really noticed the difference in her since being at nursery. She is very confident in new social situations with both adults and children, and will readily play, share with and learn from other children.

It’s just simply a fantastic nursery run by an experienced and dedicated team. I was so anxious about trusting anyone with our son but the management and brilliant baby room staff reassured me and kept me so well informed, it made the whole settling-in experience that much easier. They’re knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and understanding. Everyone is so positive and welcoming, you can’t help but love it. The staff’s dedication and enthusiasm shine through by how happy the children are and we love hearing about what he’s been up to when I pick him up. Size and security were key when we were looking at nurseries and we were so impressed with their standards. The facilities are clean, the building has character and it’s just been refurbished; it is lovely. They don’t seem to rest on their laurels either and are always looking at how they can improve. I can only advise that if you are considering Barford, sign up as soon as you can, as places are snapped up quickly with good reason.

We’ve been very pleased with how the staff at Barford Beehive have worked to settle our son into nursery. It’s been particularly valuable that he has been cared for by the same member of staff, who has been able to build up a relationship with him and get to know him. This means we have also been able to build a relationship with his key worker, as we’ve always been given time for a thorough debrief at pick up time. It’s been wonderful to see how he engages in the other children at the nursery and has tried out new activities. We couldn’t recommend Barford Beehive enough!

Barford is a great nursery. My son went there and now my daughter does. She very much looks forward to her mornings there and tells us of all the fun she has had painting, playing in the garden and playing pretend games with her friends. The staff are very caring and kind and communicate well with us as parents. Highly recommend!

This nursery provides children with a magical learning experience, it provides a range of activities that promote learning, safety and well-being. The staff here have always been extremely attentive to my children’s needs, it is a warm and welcoming nursery where both of my children feel happy and confident. They especially enjoy the outdoor play available and dancing and singing too. We also receive a daily report at the end of each day, which details what our children have been doing during the day, what they have eaten and nappy changes. All in all, a fab nursery, and we wouldn’t choose anywhere else to send our children.

Excellent nursery, the staff are brilliant and nothing is too much for them. My child is extremely happy there and I’m dreading the day when she leaves for school as I know she’ll really miss them. Five-star nursery with excellent facilities and staff.

Fabulous staff and a very friendly nursery that listens to us and proactively works with us to give us the best development experience for our children. We love the size of this nursery, not too big and not too small. Dedicated staff that really seem to care and have a good focus on cleanliness and health and safety.

My daughter has settled in so well after initially being quite shy, she has made friends and loves all the amazing activities she gets to do. The addition since my son was there, is of the nursery app, which is excellent and gives me so much information about the day.

I have had three children who have attended Bright Horizons Nursery over the past seven years. They are a kind, caring and professional team, offering a fantastic childcare service. My children enjoy the interactive, varied activities they put on for them and are eager to go to nursery each day.
