Bright Horizons Chilworth Day Nursery and Preschool

I joined this nursery in 2014 when my eldest joined and I found all the staff amazing and so helpful and they have gone out of their way to accommodate our needs.
Currently, my youngest who is in her final year has great care workers with great managers too and I would definitely recommend this nursery.

The nursery has been a wonderful setting for my little boy. He settled quickly at the nursery as a baby and I felt comfortable leaving him with the team. The team keep you regularly updated on your child progress and the tapestry app is a brilliant resource. I have seen very good progress of my little one since joining the pre-school room, offering structure and a safe place to learn. Thank you to all the staff at Chilworth for all their hard work, especially throughout the pandemic.

My little boy absolutely loves attending Bright Horizons Chilworth Day Nursery and Preschool. He’s formed excellent relationships with his key workers and is happy there all day long. It’s a delight to see him enjoying all the food on offer every day and absolutely loving some of the “messy play” carried out, in particular, the painting and garden activities. My experience at drop off and pick up have been excellent. The nursery staff are friendly and caring, carrying out the handover in a professional and kind manner.

Our little lady is very happy and is growing nicely at the nursery. She is on a full 5-day schedule, there are a lot of activities and plenty of outdoor time- which she loves. When home, she talks a lot about what she did at the nursery during the day and how she played with her friends, interacted with the key persons etc. The care and level of attention she gets is great and suits her fine. In the year after the first lockdown, we could see that all staff are extremely dedicated and took great care in having the children back. Thank you!

My children, aged 2-year-old and 3-year-old, started at Bright Horizons before their 1st birthday. I’m forever grateful that I can drop them off in the morning knowing they are in a happy, nurturing and safe environment. The staff are experienced, supportive and build great relationships with the children and parents. I particularly love getting updates and photos on the Bright Horizons app, showing them doing an array of fun and stimulating activities. I can’t thank the staff enough for their dedication over the last couple of years. During a really challenging time, families were well-supported and the childcare continued to be of a high standard. They were my saviour throughout this period. My daughter is not due to start school until next September, however, I feel she is already very well prepared, thanks to her time here. She is sociable, confident and will be well equipped for the next step. Overall, we have had a very positive experience and truly believe it’s an outstanding nursery.

My son has been attending the nursery for the last eight weeks and the nursery could not have been any more accommodating to meet my son’s and family’s needs. The nursery, my son’s keyworker and the management have been amazing at supporting my son to settle in, including working with us to support him to sleep whilst there. The whole team are very warm, friendly and approachable. They provide a high standard of care and the management are happy to get involved in supporting the staff and children. Highly recommend the nursery without a doubt.

Had my concerns with my son going to nursery as he has a dairy allergy, he has been going there now for over a year and all the staff really love him and he loves them to bits, I can leave him there knowing he is going to be well cared for while I am at work.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old and she’ll be going to school this year. She has had a wonderful time from day one and we have not had any cause for concern. The staff have been brilliant and supportive.

My daughters both started in the baby room one year after the other, they are now in the nursery room and pre school. Initially they struggled with separation anxiety, however it didn’t take long for them to start loving their nursery days and waving me off. This is down to the wonderful staff at Chilworth, they really cater to every individual child’s emotional needs and integrate them really well into the nursery surroundings and routine. I enjoy drop off and pick up as the staff always take time to give me a detailed account of the girls’ day. The girls learn so many new things from nursery and eat really well there, they only ever have good things to say. The staff have been very supportive through toilet training and also to personal circumstances such as family bereavement. I will miss the nursery and the staff once the girls start school.

My child has been at the nursery since they were 2 years old. The staff have always been very supportive, especially with difficult drop offs and changes to our family life. My child has strong bonds with the staff and other children.
