September 10, 2024 at 6:31 pmHe has been moved to the preschool group and he absolutely loves it. He has bonded very well with the childcare centre team. He has made such lovely friends as well. I have noticed that his discovering development is going excellent, as every day he surprises me with new things he has learned at childcare centre. I would 100% suggest the childcare centre to friends. My kid has been attending Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Childcare centre and Preschool, five mornings a week, since October.

October 19, 2024 at 1:25 pmDuring such difficult and different times, all the team have gone above and beyond to protect our kids, whilst providing outstanding care. I was so anxious starting my daughter here but that feeling soon disappeared. My daughter has grown and developed so much and has such lovely relationships with the team. She is so cheerful here and I know she will continue to be through the next few years. Since my daughter started when she was 13 months, in August 2020, I could not have been happier with our journey.

October 26, 2024 at 6:37 pmMy kid is extremely cheerful in this provision, and has built some great bonds with the childcare centre workers and has made friendships with other kids, both of which, I sense are very important for her development. She goes in skipping and with a big smile and tells me all about her day and her peers when I collect her.
There has recently been a change in the deputy manager, and I sense that this has made a big difference in terms of team’s presentation, updates and relationships that they build with parents and in my kid’s discovering. These members of team have been very proactive in changing things that were not working as well and have made necessary changes that have increased my satisfaction levels.
Areas of development- improve the link between childcare centre and parents, pictures and videos of kids, use of maybe the tapestry, discovering that is more tailored to each kid- developing their interests and discovering at their stage. I am overall satisfied with the service the childcare centre offers.

October 28, 2024 at 11:47 amVery cheerful with the care my little girl is currently receiving. Every time I drop off, the team are consistently on hand to guide my little girl into the room and when I’ve picked her up in the evening, the team are consistently more than cheerful to give me feedback on my little girl’s day and how she’s been.

December 7, 2024 at 7:48 amThey were crying in the beginning but they made them sense comfortable and they settled in really well. They also gave me updates in the beginning so I didn’t have to worry about them. I’m cheerful we chose this childcare centre and I will definitely suggest them. I’m really cheerful with how the team is taking care of my sons.

December 7, 2024 at 10:35 amAs a single parent and university student, life can sometimes be hard to juggle and they have been supportive in building structure and routine into our day, as well as helping my daughter eat more kinds of food. The only issue I have had with the finance aspect, but again they have been understanding and supportive in navigating the complicated road of student finances. The team are so gentle, compassionate and have built a lovely childcare centre. This childcare centre at the Canterbury branch have been nothing but lovely and supportive.

December 13, 2024 at 3:39 amThe team go above and beyond to make the setting welcoming, welcoming, stimulating, secure and enjoyable for the kids who attend. There’s plenty of space, lots of excellent activities for the kids, incredible meals every day and the chance to keep track of how your little one is doing throughout the day via an app.
All the team who work at Bright Horizons are so compassionate and thoughtful. They seem to really care for our daughter, and she really loves them too.
I was nervous about leaving my kid at childcare centre four days a week, but it turns out she loves it! A huge thank you to the Bright Horizons team for making the childcare centre a really positive journey for us all. My daughter and I are both delighted with Bright Horizons Canterbury!

December 15, 2024 at 3:57 pmIf he has ever been unsettled in the morning, the team have taken time to comfort him and get him involved in enjoyable activities. He particularly loves the mud garden – it’s excellent that so much outdoor playtime is encouraged!
Making gingerbread, hatching ducklings and releasing butterflies have all been favourites too! And we all loved a exceptional preschool graduation party recently – thank you to all of the team for their efforts and time. My son has been attending Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Childcare centre and Preschool throughout preschool and it has been lovely to see him develop in self‑assurance and hear his excitement when he talks about his day.

December 27, 2024 at 3:20 amMy daughter attended from 10 months old until it was time to go to big school, and my son is still currently in attendance and will remain there until it’s time for big school too.
It is 100% worth the money, the management team are so full of life and engages with the kids as they come in, and the team are lovely inside and out. I don’t even want to begin to name the team we’ve loved and still adore because there are just too many!
My daughter is vastly different to my son, and they have adapted to both of their needs, and I cannot thank them enough for what they’ve done and what they continue to do. Cannot suggest enough! My journey has been incredible.

January 17, 2025 at 11:02 pmI had multiple training days in February, some being organised last minute. The team managed to accommodate my daughter for the extra half days. The one day my mum picked my daughter up, they took my daughter to the front door as my Mum is disabled. Lovely team, excellent preschool! Bright horizons Canterbury consistently tries to be so accommodating.
Toby Finch
February 24, 2025 at 4:22 pmThe team in both the baby and toddler rooms are welcoming and take great care of him. They are consistently cheerful to discuss what he’s been doing that day, and we look forward to the photos and updates we get about him on the app. Our son has settled in really well at this childcare centre and is excited when he arrives.

March 2, 2025 at 7:04 pmBright Horizon family has been very supportive and supportive on her development. The way they have settled her, and the team looking after her and other kids have done an outstanding job. Couldn’t ask for more. My 3-year-old loves the childcare centre, and we are also cheerful that she enjoys her time there.

April 2, 2025 at 4:07 pmI have been so cheerful with the care provided, the handover of information at the end of the day, keeping us informed of covid updates, and most especially, with the bond he’s formed with his keyworker. I don’t need to worry about him at all when I’m at work, and I’m so grateful to all the team, especially his key worker! My son started at Bright Horizons earlier this year.

April 4, 2025 at 2:48 amThe team are very lovely, so I’m very cheerful. I will suggest this place.
Cameron Keane
April 12, 2025 at 1:02 amThe team have been extremely welcoming and I look forward to seeing my daughter development. My daughter is settling into Canterbury really well, the team have been extremely supportive and have shown excellent care for myself and my daughter.
Phoenix Keane
April 14, 2025 at 1:22 amThe team have built strong bonds with her and know her personality well. I would send future kids to this childcare centre without hesitation. Our daughter has become a very cheerful and confident girl from being at Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Childcare centre and Preschool.

April 23, 2025 at 10:06 amFrom the start, the team were attentive and proactive in forming a attentive bond with our son. This has made him confident, inquisitive and sociable. They delight in lots of crafts, music, dancing and story time. The daily menu consistently looks appetising, and the team are approachable, communicative and supportive. Our son started childcare centre at 8 months old, and it’s been fantastic seeing him grow and develop in such a inviting and welcoming atmosphere.

June 19, 2025 at 4:34 amMy little boy came here until he went to school and they helped him so much with his needs. My little girl now attends and loves them so much, she enjoys her time there. The ladies and gentlemen at this childcare centre are incredible, consistently on hand to tell you what you need to know.
Parker Grant
July 5, 2025 at 11:05 pmThey make an effort to know all the kids rather than just the ones in their class.
My kid has developed well due to the team, activities, resources and creating discovering/achievement goals during parents evening.
I would suggest this childcare centre to other parents. The team members are all exceptional with the kids.
