    Our four-year-old recently left for school and he was so well prepared from Pre School and where Phoenix prepares them in early-stage foundations. Our youngest daughter has also come on leaps and bounds at Phoenix and has been moved up a class to accelerate her discovering. We put all of this down to the outstanding team, curriculum and care that Phoenix holds so dear. All of the team have known our kids’s names for years and sense like family when doing drop off or pick up. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The outdoor spaces are larger than average and forest school has been a particular highlight for the kids where they explore the nearby woods. The food is of remarkable quality and both kids have consistently eaten brilliantly while there. The values that Phoenix upholds has been instilled in our kids and we are very grateful. Our two kids have attended Phoenix since they were less than one year old and we have been delighted with everything about the childcare centre and team.

    All team are lovely. Couldn’t be happier. Absolutely adore Bright Horizons.
    My kid loves coming in and has been with the childcare centre since he was 1.

    The only comment other than the above is that we delight in seeing the daily report card as it helps us know what they do during the day. Although some days we don’t receive a report, which is a shame, but we appreciate that you are all busy so we understand but that’s the only thing we have to comment on – other than that, everyone seems so lovely and attentive. We signed up during lockdown so we haven’t had chance to see all of the rooms or outside space yet, so our answers will be based on what we have seen to date as we have only been coming for about a month – but so far we are very cheerful and getting more familiar.

    My kids have really developed since joining and I couldn’t be happier with all the childcare centre’s help in facilitating this. Fabulous childcare centre that offers such a 5 star service for looking after and attentive for the wellbeing and development of the kids – and also the parent.

    All of the team are incredible. They are attentive, expert and have taken fantastic care of our kids. It is a lovely setting for kids and we could not be more grateful for everything that the team have done to ensure our kids are secure, looked after and have lots of enjoyable. A truly fantastic childcare centre, with truly fantastic team. Our 3 kids have gone to Phoenix and all of them have absolutely loved their time there.

    As a parent you want the best start for your kid during early years discovering, I cannot suggest Phoenix enough. They are outstanding. The team are approachable and very welcoming, and there is regular feedback on the development of your kid. They work with you to provide assistance and do the best they can for you and your kid. If there are any issues these are dealt with professionally and sensitively. My son thoroughly enjoys all the activities during the day, including the forest school programme and preschool plus. Phoenix also arranges family events throughout the year, including summer carnivals and Christmas fayres. Phoenix has a family sense to it, this for me makes it that extra bit special. I would highly suggest this day childcare centre and preschool to anyone.l My son has been attending Phoenix since he was a toddler, he is now in preschool and due to start school next September.

    Updates has been key and all team have been personable and expert! The team are attentive and the relationships the kids make with team is second to none. I consistently suggest Phoenix to others! I’ve had kids at Phoenix for nearly three years no and I can’t fault the journey and care my kids have received.

    She loves going, the team are consistently cheerful and on hand to answer any questions. The team make discovering enjoyable and go above the call of duty (in my opinion). I’m very cheerful with everything apart from there not being any spaces for my son to attend due to it being such a popular place!! Apart from that no complaints. My kid has attended Bright Horizons Phoenix Day Childcare centre for the last year and a half.

    He loves going to childcare centre each day and without doubt, this is because of the cheerful discovering setting that has been created by them. I would highly suggest Bright Horizons, Phoenix to any parent looking for a childcare centre in the Brentwood area. Extremely cheerful with our son’s development and development since attending Bright Horizons, Phoenix.

    My kid has consistently been so cheerful here and I cannot suggest the childcare centre highly enough.
    It is clear they take excellent pride in choosing their team. This is one of the main things that makes this childcare centre such a joy – they are so attentive towards the kids and passionate about their jobs. My kid absolutely loves going in every time and loves everyone that looks after her.
    My kid has a medical condition and the childcare centre management have gone above and beyond to look out for her needs. This has relieved so much stress for us, as parents, knowing she is in such great hands and also allowed my kid’s first years to be as normal as possible. We could not be more thankful to the childcare centre and the team for this. My kid has been attending Phoenix Day Childcare centre for 2.5 years and we have had nothing but positive experiences.

    She loves going to childcare centre and they are consistently doing a wide range of activities to keep her busy and entertained. The team are remarkable – they are approachable, welcoming and attentive and have a great understanding of my kid and their needs. The addition of the app has been exceptional, being kept posted on how they are doing throughout the day, both through their personal care and activities they are up to is very reassuring and excellent to be kept in the loop. We also really delight in the extra events they put on that involve the parents as well, such as the Easter egg hunt and the Queens jubilee afternoon tea. We couldn’t fault the childcare centre and we are very excited for our next baby to start there next year – thank you to everyone at Phoenix! My daughter has attended the childcare centre for just under a year, starting in the baby cottage and now in the next age group and both my husband and I have been thoroughly impressed with the childcare centre.

    Since starting nearly a year ago in the baby room, she has come on in self‑assurance and developed into a excellent little toddler. Her key people are so fantastic and seem to really delight in having her (whilst I’m sure it’s tiring). The new app is incredible, I adore being able to see what she has been up to and what she has eaten each day. Real piece of mind. Thank you. I sense so confident in the care that my daughter receives while at childcare centre.

    They both adore the food and particularly the amount of time spent outside which we as parents believe is very important. Both have remarkable key workers that go over and above. You can tell that the team really delight in their jobs and adore kids. Both our kids now attend Bright Horizons Phoenix Day Childcare centre and both are very cheerful there.

    He consistently goes in happily and tells me of all the things he can’t wait to be doing, especially with his friends (keyworkers).
    He is very much an outdoor boy and I adore how the kids have access to a garden for the majority of the day – he constantly raves about the slide.
    The childcare centre offer a great online portal too so that I am kept up to date of what he is up to and where he is with his discovering.
    The food offered is also varied and since attending he eats so much better at home as well. We are looking forward to our youngest starting soon and also to our eldest starting full days when I return to work – I trust Bright Horizons Phoenix completely to watch over them both. My son loves attending Bright Horizons Phoenix Day Childcare centre and Preschool, Brentwood.

    We have such respect for the care and attention they give all the kids and how well they know every kid.
    We cannot say thank you enough. I cannot put into words how truly grateful, impressed and secure we sense knowing our daughter is with those in the baby cottage at Phoenix Day Childcare centre.
    The team in the baby cottage are absolutely remarkable with our baby and we could not suggest them or speak of them more fondly than we do.

    She enjoyed the activities in the childcare centre. She consistently went to childcare centre very happily, and I was pleased she was well taken care of even in the pandemic situation. The team were outstanding, welcoming and consistently supportive. We were really pleased with the way was our little one was taken care of.

    My son enjoys going in the morning and all of the team make him sense welcome. He has grown in self‑assurance and made lots of friends, thanks to his fantastic key workers. The updates is great and we find out all about his day on his updates slip. Likewise, I sense as though I can ask questions and speak to someone at the childcare centre if needed. Thank you Phoenix, you really are a special team. Everything about Phoenix is inviting and welcoming.
