Bright Horizons Bexleyheath Day Nursery and Preschool

Highly advocate! They are welcoming and encouraging, kind and giving. The set-up is great, both inside and outside. Since our boy joined Bright Horizons after lockdown, he has come on leaps and bounds, thanks to the crew. Our little one treasures talking about the educational activities he’s been taking part in each morning. They promote kindness, positive values and excellent discovering. The environment at the childcare centre is wonderful. The ensuite kitchen crew put together an excellent, broad and accommodating menu across the week.

The personnel have always shown a genuine connection with our girl and looked after her best interests whilst in their support. The management are well organised and have worked well to keep things running throughout the pandemic and ensured that the standards of childcare didn’t suffer as a result. A wonderful nursery setting which has cared for and supported our daughter’s progress over several years.

A big thank you to all the team. Daily feedback is great, so is the whole contact with the preschool. I would strongly advocate Bexleyheath, Bright Horizons Nursery and Preschool to anyone looking for a great place for their kids to discover and develop. The management is absolutely fantastic and exceptionally efficient. Every single member of crew, from management to the admin team knows every little one by name and genuinely care for all the youngsters. All of the crew were absolutely wonderful, caring and helpful. Every day there is so many new activities planned for the little ones that my young lad was astonished from the variety. We were really lucky to find such a fantastic place for our young lad.

Pre-school has been great in developing his competences and preparing him for school. The support he received has been exceptional. He has always been pleased to go to nursery setting. My grandson started at Bright Horizons aged 7 months and left age four and a half years.

Now his confidence has grown so much and he has achieved lots and developed so well. When my young lad first started he didn’t settle well and the personnel were great at making the process as easy as it could be. Both my sons now join and both enjoy the early‑years hub and look forward to coming each week. They were encouraging of both us, as parents and my little one.

The personnel made me realise straight away I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I have nothing but positive feelings towards this childcare centre. They send numerous updates throughout the day and are extremely good at communicating when appropriate. My baby joined the early‑years hub when he was 8 years old and with him being so young I was quite nervous sending him, to begin with. My kid has thrived at the nursery setting and I have seen noticeable improvements in his social abilities as well as life skills.

Kudos to them! Hardly a day went by when she didn’t mention it or the personnel members in the Rising 2-3s room. The office team have doubled up as chaperones to the kids, and they are so patient and kind! Her excitement was through the roof when we could go back again in September. Happy youngster, happier parents! As parents, we feel it has been the best decision to send our young lady to Bright Horizons Bexleyheath. She even wakes up on the weekends asking if she can go to the ‘daycare’! If there was one thing my little one missed during the lockdown, it was definitely the childcare centre! During the pandemic, the crew have been working really hard, and yet they are always so cheerful!

BUT, the settling in sessions has been incredible in supporting her. I have found the class keyworker to be so welcoming, warm and attentive that my heart is assured that she is well looked after. As a mummy, I was nervous about how this would have worked given covid restrictions etc and a youngster who has hardly had the chance to engage with other youngsters and adults due to covid. Evidence of this is that she smiles when she talks about the nursery setting, wakes up asking if she is going to nursery setting and say Yes whenever you ask if she likes nursery setting and wants to go back. So, thank you to everyone, you are fantastic. Having had our firstborn enrol at this early‑years hub, it was always going to be Bright Horizons Bexleyheath again for our second youngster. Everyone has been so welcoming and coming to say hi, how are we, it feels like an extended family. Fantastic work was done to help our little girl settle in and the administrative aspects of organising everything was seamless.

My little one, after the 1st lockdown, joined the nursery setting and was moved to the preschool class where she has formed a beautiful bond with her key worker. Her keyworker has been brilliant in understanding and relating to her, and I see a lot of confidence being built in her thanks to her keyworker. Thank you all for your excellent work! Credit to all the preschool staffs, but special thanks to her main keyworker for making the whole transition so easy. Her speech is coming along beautifully too.

However, would like to share honest feedback. +Good set of toys (judging by the one visit we have been inside). – Covid is hard but should not be used as an excuse but perhaps as a reason to improve (get more digital/open etc). – No app for daily reports – only paper filled every day with truly similar info – saying this early‑years hub announced this week they will be implementing an app shortly (yay!). We’ve asked for no custard, gravy, processed meats and refined sugar – was asked to drop my request. I left it on the account of him only going few months however with that in mind – would be great to get more updates. Summary below: +Nursery setting is lovely and spacious. – Very limited information to us on our youngster activities, growth etc. + Amazing garden – was one of the selling points to us. – Food – no parents preferences taken into account unless the youngster has an allergy. Our little one is only going to this nursery setting for 2.5 months. Therefore I must say it might be early days.
