Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool

My son went to Bright Horizons Ely Day Nursery and Preschool after trying 2 other nurseries and not getting on. To say I was reluctant to send him was an understatement. However, my son got on so well, the care and attention he received was second to none. I’d recommend them to anyone. My little boy is now at school but his time at Bright Horizons has a special place in both of our hearts.

My 7 month old son went for his induction yesterday at Ely Day Nursery. The staff went above and beyond to make my experience a positive one, welcoming, positive and reassuring. I know he is in good hands and he is going to have the best time with the team. Thank you again and I can’t wait for him to come and have his visits next week!

Our son started Bright Horizons when he was nine months and he is now about to turn four years old. During this time, the staff have helped so much, from learning to play, to socialising, sharing, taking turns and learning to be kind to one another. The staff are so friendly and treat our son like one of their own. They even can help with things like weaning, using cutlery, developing routines and potty training. It’s so nice to know as a parent that your child is being looked after and routines etc continue whether at home or at nursery. It’s like home from home and it’s displayed in our son’s behaviour how much he loves nursery. We really recommend Bright Horizons and would certainly use it again.

My daughter absolutely loves nursery days here and is always so excited to tell me about her day when she gets home – I am always very impressed at the range of activities they do and love that they always make an effort to use the outdoor space most days.

Such a great nursery. Our son has been going for the past year and a bit and we’ve had a consistently good experience over that time. His key workers have been engaged and excellent throughout, giving good feedback and on the app as to how he’s getting on. All staff have been lovely and clearly care about the children in their care, a lot.
You may worry the site might not look like the prettiest being on an industrial estate, but it actually gives them loads of space and makes it easier for drop off in lots of ways. They also are right on the edge and the garden looks out over a big field in the fens so feels like they’re in nature a bit.
They have also been accommodating with providing extra sessions when we’ve needed them and they have had capacity which has been really helpful.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more, it’s fantastic. My baby joined when he was 7 months old. His ‘key person’ immediately bonded with him. She showed a great interest in him and played with him really nicely.
The nursery keep us (the parents) up to date on everything – if he bumps his head, or has a little rash, or if there’s chicken pox at the nursery… They show us photos of what the children have been up to. He paints pictures and plants flowers… I think he probably has a better time at nursery than he does at home. They feed him foods we haven’t yet tried at home and they do also use much posher nappies than we do! I am so pleased we found this nursery, I feel so appreciative of them and I really think they are giving him a fantastic start in life.

My daughter was new to the setup and was resuming nursery after a long break. I must admit that the staff was really very warm and she was very well adjusted to her new schedule. They took good care of her because I know my little one needs a lot of attention. Please keep up the good work.

Have been super supportive and always have the best interest of the children at heart. Amazing communication with the app, always adding photos and developmental progression! All the staff in the baby room are amazing and just an amazing team.

Ely Bright Horizons is a wonderful, fun and caring nursery and pre-school where both of our children go. Our eldest has attended since 2020 and our youngest since 2022.
Both of our children are flourishing, growing their independence, confidence and personality. The staff go above and beyond to care for them, giving us the reassurance they are in the best hands possible.
Our youngest has numerous severe allergies and the nursery have been beyond supportive of this.
We highly recommend this nursery and pre-school.

All of the staff are so kind and caring for our little boy, he loves the activities that they get up to and is always excited to see his carers in the morning. The facilities are great and the food menu is healthy and nutritious and gives him the opportunity to try lots of different things. I would recommend to anyone.
