Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool

My husband and I are very happy with this nursery and knew it was the right place for our daughter from the minute we had the wonderful tour. She absolutely loves going to nursery and was desperate to get back after the Christmas holidays and extend her days per week. Our one year old also now runs in smiling when he is greeted by his amazing key workers. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and passionate and clearly love the children. We feel our children are not only happy and progressing well, but are safe and well looked after. Thanks to their key workers in particular and all the fantastic staff that support them. We also can not speak highly enough of the current deputy manager, who goes above and beyond, and runs the nursery so efficiently and smoothly. She has done an incredible job particularly in the difficult current circumstances, in her management and keeping everyone safe. We would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for somewhere nurturing for their children.

We have started using the nursery since mid-Feb 2020 and I am very happy with the service we have received from the nursery so far. Staff, in general, are very friendly and supportive.
One little note from us is that it would be very helpful if the date can be written down on the daily performance sheet we receive at the end of each day!

My son joined The Park Nursery two years ago when he was 5 months old. I have received extreme support from the team and developed friendships with all the teachers and staff members. This is a very professional organisation and I couldn’t be more grateful for their dedication. Nursery serves very healthy and delicious food. Children spend lots of time in the garden and parents views and requests are always respected. My son always goes to nursery with a smile and he is happy when I am collecting him. What really makes the difference is that the teachers love their job and I can see how many of them develop their career and enjoy what they do. They have a positive approach and always look for best solutions. The nursery provides fantastic education and regular reviews of my son’s progress. My favourite thing is a daily note which I receive when I collect my son from nursery. It tells me what and when he did, ate, slept and used the toilet. Really great nursery!

Both our boys have attended this nursery, so we have known The Park for more than 5 years. The children’s progress has been amazing, the range of activities are very engaging for the little ones. The staff is caring, professional and understanding, and they take very good care of the children. The food is really good, and the outside playground and garden are beautiful and with great equipment to keep the little ones happy and entertained. We have also got a lot of help and support during the potty-training phase. My kids were really happy here and they have made great friends so I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

I can’t say enough about The Park Day Nursery teachers and staff. We’ve been with them the past almost 5 years now, as we have had all three of my boys go here since they were 1. They truly are a remarkable group of people and my boys just love them and love going here! I’m happy with the continued progress and development that my boys make on a daily basis and can notice a huge difference from when they were home during lockdown to now back at nursery. The boys are always happy and excited from the moment I drop them off in the morning to when I collect them from nursery and share with me all they’ve done for the day. The classrooms and outdoor area are beautiful and bright, the food is good and nutritious. Most importantly, the reason this place is so special is because of the people; they care, are passionate, gentle, kind, nurturing… I could go on. These people are a huge part of mine and my children’s lives and I am so grateful for our relationship with The Park Day Nursery team.

I returned from Maternity leave in May 2021 and had to drop my daughter off to Nursery at The Park. As most mummys know, you’re feeling apprehensive, anxious and always questioning yourself. Our first day, luckily my daughter went in very calm and was happy to see so many toys and people! (especially having been a lockdown baby!)
When I collected her, the team were nothing but fantastic from the moment I dropped her off, to the moment I collected her! I’ve had full detailed handovers on how her days have been. They’ve made me feel so settled and reassured. She has her bad days and the team are still honestly so great, I feel settled leaving her there, knowing she is in great hands. She takes part in great activities that I would never do at home. Since she has joined, in 3 short weeks she has learned to clap, wave and even say Mumma! Thank you to the staff at The Park, you’ve made my return as a working mum so much easier.

My children have been at Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool Nursery for over 6 months now and their experience just gets better and better. I love how all of the staff know both of my children even if they are not in their rooms. One of my children has an allergy and the systems for his safety are incredible. He has his own colour coded set of cutlery and tableware and placemat. His allergy is known to the whole staff and his individual medical plan is updated regularly, checked and signed by all staff in the building and always verbally explained. I receive regular updates on the nursery app so I can see what my children are doing. Even if my child is reluctant to go to nursery on a Monday morning when we get to the building he is welcomed with love, care and understanding. I couldn’t be more happy.

Prior to my child starting at the nursery the management team and all the staff were really supportive and flexible in helping me find the right balance as they are still relatively young. This continued on joining. It is clear that they have taken an interest in my family and are committed to supporting us all as needs change. My child enjoys their time at nursery and the team that are directly involved work hard and give helpful feedback on progress. Communication both written and in person has always been timely and well considered and the app is a helpful way to track what has been going on during the day.

Our child has attended the nursery/preschool for the last couple of years. Staff are brilliant, we get an update of what he’s done everyday and if we have any concerns, the staff are happy to spend time to discuss with us. Our child looks forward to going to nursery everyday and staff changes are kept to a minimum so both us as parents and our child get to know the team well and enjoy a stable environment. Dealt with covid well and decent size classrooms and garden. Recommend.

My daughter has absolutely loved her time at Bright Horizons The Park Day Nursery and Preschool. She has been there for about three years so the team have supported her development from baby to toddler. She adores the staff and is very close to her key workers. I have no concerns at all that she is being well cared for by all the team. Activities are varied, the app is great for getting updates and she has grown in confidence, making lots of new friends. We chose the nursery in lockdown so our decision was based on convenience, reviews and the amazing outdoor space which they really get good use of. I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.
