October 7, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little one is very happy in this nursery.
They build his own development program. Since attending this nursery, he has become more adventurous with his eating, able to self-feed, and he is now great at sharing and participating in activities. I can see that he has truly engaged with his key worker and staff in his room because he is very comfortable around them and is not in a rush to get home! It also helps that the size of the classrooms is relatively small, so unlike other nurseries I have visited, this one has a calmer environment. The nursery is clean, well kept and enjoys a nice private playground outside that has been recently refurbished.

February 19, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son goes to Bright Horizons East India and the carers and staff in the toddler room my son loves them and misses them still. I have seen him learn so much and being independent – His eating his communication and social skills have improved drastically. He loves his Rising 3 carers too now, he is 25 months old and enjoys being in the nursery. The management is nice and warm too. I am very happy as a parent.

February 19, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery staff took away the worries about my son starting the nursery. I felt very satisfied and secure leaving him in the room, knowing he will be looked after and loved. The number of activities is done with the kids is impressive and I can clearly see the progress of my son’s development. Another very important thing is that the food is fresh and cooked daily, and most importantly each child is given his own plate even for a snack, unlike I’ve seen in another place – one bowl for all the kids and no supervision for every child to take a portion of food.

February 19, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is by far the best nursery! From the teachers to the management, everyone is so lovely, knowledgeable and professional! A special Thank You to the teachers in my daughter’s class as they always go above and beyond to give a child the individual support they need to excel in certain skills! The children enjoy a variety of activities from learning colours, numbers, shapes and even planets!!! Painting, drawing and developing their artistic skills! Also, the transition from nappies to toilet use is a big milestone in the life of a child and in the life of the whole family! They have been extremely supportive of my daughter’s training and she is doing better and better every day! We are super thankful that our daughter has such caring and invested teachers!

May 18, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery has a nice setup, is clean and modern. The staff takes the time to speak with us to give us the summary for the day in addition to the daily summary form. The meals seem really well balanced and adapted for the toddlers, we know our daughter is eating well and is well cared for.
We like the special paintings and activities and pictures we get from events throughout the year. We can notice how our daughter is improving her skills on a daily basis and her speech is also developing fast.
I would strongly recommend this nursery.

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amI don’t recommend this nursery to anyone. During my child’s settling period they called me two times to pick him up claiming he has a temperature above 38C. When I arrived in about 20-30min. time, I have asked them to check it again and they now measured as 36.5C. A high temperature in a sick child would not go down in half an hour. He was only coughing a little bit and this was not pleasant to them and that’s why they wanted me to pick him up falsely claiming his temperature is high. What is worse when I got there my child was alone and all the other children were doing an activity. My observation was that they separated him and this is not acceptable. Also, the management is too rude. When we asked them to give us the policy of the nursery on something they replied saying they don’t have to give us a policy. If you want your child to start the nursery, then make sure he does not and won’t cough, and be ready to be misinformed on her/his health and sign dozens of papers too.

January 25, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Bright Horizons East India Dock for a little over a year now and we are delighted with her development and the reports and photos we see. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, we’re very comfortable with leaving our daughter there every day.

March 23, 2022 at 12:00 amWe could have not wished for a better nursery for our son. The whole team in toddler 3 room have been looking after him so well and in a short amount of time, he got very attached to them. He even asks about them during the weekend, which shows just how much he is enjoying his time at Bright Horizons, East India. They offer a lot of different activities and our son has progressed so much since he joined. The nursery is also managed incredibly well. The deputy manager and her colleagues have always been very accommodating, flexible and friendly. We highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a safe and loving environment for their little one.

March 24, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have our second baby in this nursery and there was no doubt or consideration of any other place. We had such a good experience the first time, we knew it would be no different this time.
All of the staff members are amazing, providing beyond basic care and our boy is always excited to start a new day. We have full trust and highly recommend this place for childcare.

March 28, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have had a great experience with the nursery for the past 2 years. My two sons attend full time and are being looked after really well and we are always being informed about everything related to their learning and growth. Wonderful staff and a really helpful management team.

April 12, 2022 at 12:00 amIt’s so reassuring to leave my son at East India, Docks Nursery, knowing the team will look after him. He has been going since he was 4 months old and they always made it easy for him to settle.
They pay attention to what the kids are going through and are always very insightful. They are caring and friendly and I know he is in good hands. They do lots of activities, allow the kids to play outside and I can tell how he is developing and learning. Couldn’t recommend more and I wish all nurseries were like this. Tiny improvement around food and including more diversity on the menus, but even this, I have no significant issue with.

April 20, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have had a very good experience at this nursery. Our daughter started here when she was 18-months and the toddler room staff went above and beyond to make sure she settled in well. They gave her extra cuddles and were incredibly patient with her at meal times. We are grateful for their kindness and attentiveness. My daughter is now almost 3-years old and is in the rising three-room and our experience remains positive. The children paint, learn songs and go to the garden every day. Earlier this year the staff organised for the parents to come in and talk to children about their jobs, which was a wonderful initiative and the kids were so engaged!

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to this nursery for the last two years since she was just one year old and I absolutely will recommend it as best care for your child in this area. The nursery has been taking care of her safety, and diet requirements. I am happy with the variety of activities that are conducted for the constant learning and my child surprises me with the things she’s learned there. Thank you for taking care of our children so nicely.

October 7, 2022 at 12:00 amMy twins were in this nursery for 2 years, age 13 months to 3 years old. Started in the toddler room, and were moved to rising 3s room after aged 2. Kids cried a little for the first few days, but soon began to run into the nursery themselves. Breakfast, fruits, lunch, tea, milk, nappies, everything provided. Loads of age-appropriate activities are planned every week. They celebrate festivals of all ethnic groups with equal enthusiasm and plan nice related activities. Kids have learnt rhymes, alphabets,1-30 numbers, and know so many birds, animals and more. They draw, paint, do crafts, messy play, play outdoors on most days, read books etc, regularly. Just sit and cuddle and rest if tired or unwell. Key workers are all so warm and loving towards the children. We received regular updates, and lots of photos of kids doing daily activities on the app. Weekly menus were full of variety. The place is clean and maintained well. A very lovely, welcoming and accommodating staff team and management. My kids loved it and often still remember and miss the place. Highly recommend.

June 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter had been at East India Dock, Bright Horizons for almost 11 months now, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are amazing, very supportive and kind. She loves going to the nursery, does a range of fantastic, stimulating activities every day and really enjoys the food too! As I parent, I am kept up to date with what’s happening each day with detailed information and photos via the app. I feel totally at ease that she is being well looked after and is learning new skills and socialising with friends.

June 27, 2023 at 12:00 amI am so pleased with the nursery! My son has been attending at the age of 21 months! His vocabulary has extended to a great amount and the nursery always accommodating to his needs. A big thank you to the managers for really putting all their hard work and effort into looking after their staff and therefore all the children are getting the support they need. All the staff are easy to communicate with and always sending lovely feedback and pictures daily of my child. The managers are always there to help with any problems and always resolve any issues promptly. Thank you once again looking forward to the future with Bright Horizons, East India Dock Nursery.

July 20, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child has been a part of the East India Nursery for the past two years and we have nothing but good to say about them. Starting from toddler room and the entire settling process that has been done with so much attention to his feelings but also acknowledging us as parents, respecting our wishes and ensuring they followed our routine for smooth and positive experiences. He has instantly bonded with his key worker at that time, the deputy manager, who has been very reassuring, but also very friendly and caring. Our baby moved to the Rising 3s after and all the ladies have been giving him so much love that he comes home at talks about them, singing rhymes in different languages, showing us how much he is progressing with each day. Seeing all the lovely pictures in the app is making our days at work so much easier.
Management team also organises different events for parents, celebrating children’s cultures and inviting parents to spend time in the room, sending regular updates and newsletters.

July 20, 2023 at 12:00 amBright Horizon Nursery has always gone above and beyond for our child who has been attending nursery since he was 12 months old.
The communication between the parents and the nursery is always excellent as our questions are always answered immediately.
We are always kept up to date with changes, upcoming events and progress that our child has made through the app or via email. All staff members are extremely friendly and provide a welcoming environment for both children and parents.
Our child’s key worker regularly updates us with observations and activities which gives us ideas on how to best adapt learning at home for our child.
We love how much our child loves attending the nursery each and every day. He always mentions his key worker and the manager, how much fun he has with both staff members and peers.
Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do.
