Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool

The offer is very great in terms of opening times, activities offered and facilities. My daughter loves the childcare centre and the team have consistently been very supportive and prompt to reply to any queries. I would definitely not change this childcare centre for any other.

He has been at Long Road since September 2021 and moved to preschool in September 2022. My 3.5 years son is in preschool at Long road. As I am the one dropping and picking him up every day, I am able to witness first-hand how his journey was – and he is having excellent fun! The manager leads a excellent team at preschool that blends in personal qualities, each of which comes in handy at different occasions, having all of them the common desire to contribute to our kid’s growth and well-being! The manager is a very creative person; he is able to inspire kids with his imaginative activities that go from artwork and discovering about painters, to science and creating erupting volcanos. I am very grateful to all the team for going the extra mile. Organising activities with the kids during the weekends, where the team spend their free time doing an activity with our kids, is the ultimate proof that they are in the job because they adore it, and that’s key to making the growing journey of a kid so fantastic! That’s a five-star!

Despite covid, they have truly tried to get to know the parents and provided superb assistance to the kids. Staff are attentive and well‑informed. She is consistently excited to go to preschool in the morning and has a full and fun day!

The team at Long Road could not care more about the kids. I have a 4-year-old at Long Road (who has been there for 3 years) and a 1-year-old who has just started in the baby room. They are attentive, kind and nurturing. I am constantly surprised by the things my elder daughter will come out with (signs in Makaton, words in French, facts about planets) that she has learnt from the team at childcare centre. It’s an absolute joy taking them there and I am so grateful for everything the team do. If you work on the Addenbrookes site it is so convenient for work and the long opening hours are excellent too. I often meet people at work or at playgroups etc that ask about Long Road and my advice is consistently that I could not suggest it more.

I don’t run into any of the problems that mums at other nurseries seem to encounter. Very cheerful at this childcare centre. For example, they are consistently accommodating with changes of plan if e.g. I forgot we were coming back from holiday a day early. If the kids have only a mild temperature, they are cheerful to give calpol and see how they respond rather than insisting I take them home asap. They’ve used reusable nappies for both of my kids. I’m also impressed by the discovering the kids are exposed to in preschool. There’s plenty of outdoor space and the team are truly welcoming. There’s a nice community spirit about the place.

Our son has been attending since 12 months old and he is well looked after and cheerful. The childcare centre has been outstanding and of great value. Communication is very great with the app and we get regular updates and pictures throughout the day. The team are excellent and attentive and are genuinely interested in the kid’s wellbeing. We also get regular communication from the management team, which is consistently very reassuring.

It is incredible and my daughter absolutely loves it. I cannot praise the childcare centre and preschool, more. Everyone is super welcoming and very easy to talk to and the food is also fabulous. My daughter truly enjoys herself. Plenty of different activities for kids even outside of working hours. You are absolutely incredible and attentive!

I am consistently impressed by the bond the team have with the kids, there is a genuine affection between them. Both my kids have attended Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool since the age of 10 months. The activities they do are varied and educational and the preschool has even arranged extra weekend trips for further discovering opportunities which parents can get involved in. Staff are professional and the childcare centre has clear health and safety protocols which make you sense comfortable that your kids are in secure hands.

My daughter just turned 4 and we have been attending the childcare centre since she was a little bit over 1. My journey with Bright Horizons Long Road Day Nursery and Preschool has been nothing but excellent. The quality of assistance is truly high and goes beyond what you would definitely normally expect. It is spotless very welcoming and the food is also of a high standard. What makes this childcare centre stands out for me is the teacher. We sense like a family here and knowing that this is our last year is sad. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to anyone who is looking for high-quality of care, a warm and secure setting and also great education.

We have been using the childcare centre for over 5 years, during which time there has been little team turnover, and it has been fantastic to see team progress in their careers within the childcare centre.

The team are incredibly kind and loved by our kids, as well as being highly professional and well trained. All three of our kids attend or have graduated from Long Road Bright Horizons, and we couldn’t be happier. The discovering setting is fantastic and developmentally stimulating from the baby room to preschool, leaving kids extremely well-prepared for school.

Communication is excellent both between the childcare centre and home, and also within the childcare centre, with excellent care being taken to understand our kids within the context of our family, as well as individuals, and members of the childcare centre community. The physical setting is bright, spotless, welcoming and well-maintained. It may not be the cheapest childcare choice but it feels value for money.
