January 4, 2021 at 12:00 amAfter viewing several nurseries, I finally settled on here for my son. Best decision I made. He loves it and the staff are amazing, very helpful and informed. A great mix of indoor and outdoor activities in a secure educational environment. My son loves it here and settled in quickly, he enjoys going in on his set days during term time. I would highly recommend to fellow parents.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amI moved my daughter from a previous Pre-School setting which she had been at for two years. I had found that she was not learning anything new and her speech was very, very delayed. After much consideration I decided to move her and looked at Bright Sparks Day Nursery and Pre-School at Stanbridge in Summer 2020. Straight away I just knew it was the right place for her. Everything ticked the boxes of what I was looking for, for her and her needs. Ever since she has attended this setting in September 2020 she has come on leaps and bounds. I am incredibly proud of her and the setting for always showing her she can do it! Her speech has come on amazingly and her confidence is growing. Her key worker is fanatic with her, as are every other member of staff. They really have her best interest at heart and that’s what any parent wants from a setting. My only regret is that I wished I had moved her sooner to Bright Sparks Day Nursery and Pre-School at Stanbridge.

April 29, 2021 at 12:00 amI honestly couldn’t recommend or rate Bright Sparks Day Nursery any higher than I already do. My daughter has been going here for years and the staff are so unbelievably lovely. She always has a brilliant time and I feel completely comforted knowing she is in the best hands.

May 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son really enjoys going to this preschool. He loves his teachers and making new friends. His speech and development has definitely improved since attending and I love to receive the updates on the app.

July 28, 2021 at 12:00 amWe moved my son early this year from a pre-school where we didn’t find the experience positive for my son and I’m so glad we moved. Positive attitudes from every staff member, an encouraging environment, smiles. From the moment my son arrived the time has been taken to get to know him and engage with his interests and get the best out of him on his terms. From worrying about him starting school in September as one of the youngest, I now feel confident he has had the lead in he needed. He now comes home with lots of positive things to say, stories to tell and even songs to sing to me! Whenever someone in our community asks for opinions on local pre-schools I point them in the direction of Bright Sparks, I only have praise for them. Thank you!

July 28, 2021 at 12:00 amI have nothing but praise for Bright Sparks. Two of my sons have attended this setting, I’ve always been more than happy.
My youngest son always runs in, happy and excited to be there and is sad the mornings he doesn’t get to go (says it all really!).
My son has progressed so much in the last few months and is all set ready to start school in September.
The staff are amazing, so friendly and approachable, there is also great communication between home and pre school. I would highly recommend Bright Sparks.

January 12, 2022 at 12:00 amI highly recommend Bright Sparks, Stanbridge setting! The staff have been amazing with my little boy, he was diagnosed with autism earlier this year and was awaiting an EHCP so he could receive support in primary school. Bright Sparks were happy to have my little boy for even longer than usual while we awaited this. They have helped my son greatly the last couple of years and all of the support he now has at his new school is all down there help! We will miss them so much.

March 31, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have been so happy with the manager and her team. Our two children love it here and have so much fun. The staff are really invested in the children and care about them so much. They do a fantastic range of activities that have been brilliant for my children’s development. They’ve also been really helpful with potty training my son. Their communication with parents is brilliant and we’re kept updated on what they’ve been doing and what they’ve eaten with the parent app. The food they’re given is great too with plenty of variety and lots of healthy but also child-friendly options. Couldn’t rate them highly enough!

August 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son attended the Mama Bear’s Day Nursery and Pre-School at Stanbridge setting for 2 years and starts school this September. The staff are all lovely and very approachable. I feel like they knew my child as an individual and his key worker would sometimes tailor activities/play to support his personal development needs. I am happy with the care and education he received during his time at Mama Bear’s Day Nursery and Pre-School and I’m confident he will be ready for his next steps.

August 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves attending Mama Bears Stanbridge. Her confidence in herself and understanding of the world has improved so much since starting only earlier this year. All of the carers have been very friendly and the communication on the app is updated daily. Thank you to the manager and her team!

August 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son attended the nursery for over 2 years and we are so sad that he has now finished to start school in September. The setting is wonderful, so many opportunities for the children to play, explore and learn and the staff are simply the best, loving, kind, caring, supportive and fun! Whilst my son was going through an autism assessment the team helped in every way they could, I knew I could go to them for any advice and questions. They supported us in the EHCP process, putting in place everything my son needed to achieve his full potential. He started the nursery a shy, timid little boy who was non verbal and he’s left a happy, content, outgoing little boy who doesn’t stop talking. I couldn’t thank the whole team enough for everything they have done for us. They gave my son the best start to his education and now he’s ready to start school. We’ll miss them all.

August 29, 2022 at 12:00 amSince starting Stanbridge Day Nursery my son has grown and become so confident in himself. He is always so happy and excited to go and greet all the staff and always excited to go and play and loves them all as if they were family. My son’s development in such a short amount of time has skyrocketed and that’s all to the thanks of every single staff member there. The fact he literally runs in in the mornings is what makes me realise this establishment isn’t just adults in charge, but it’s people who treat your children as if they were their own and make them extremely comfortable. All staff members are so kind and polite and overall I just love it! I love it, my son loves it and I will absolutely hopefully be sending my daughter too! Also, the space for the children to play, explore and learn in is second to none! It’s fabulous and what you expect for growing children!

August 30, 2022 at 12:00 amI had my son join this nursery in April this year and I cannot recommend it enough! He has come on leaps and bounds with everything he has been doing, his speech has come on so well and so have his social skills. The staff here are amazing and really do care and look after everyone.

August 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started this nursery in January 2022 and graduated in July. In the 7 months he was there the change in him was remarkable. The teachers were brilliant and the administration staff was amazing. I genuinely felt that while my son was in nursery he was with a group of people who truly loved him and wanted the best for him. Great nursery!

September 1, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are extremely friendly and helpful at the nursery and I can’t fault it in any way. Would like to thank all staff for the care and support and the time they have put into my children. The manager has been amazing all the years I have known her and a lot of the other staff are quite new but also seemed to have settled into the role and are doing a great job. Last but not least the staff in the office is always polite and very helpful.

December 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been at the preschool since January. He loves it, and he never wants to leave! He loves the outdoor space, the different food and all the activities. The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. It is a lovely preschool and I would recommend it to anyone.

December 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has recently moved to this setting and he has settled in really well. He loves coming into nursery and loves all the staff, he even asks to go in on his days off. He also talks about all the staff at home.

December 2, 2022 at 12:00 amVery good service, my child loves coming here. Staff have always keep in contact with my son’s progress and achievements. Very friendly and polite. I’m pleased with all the activities my son participates in and they keep me very informed. Thank you.

July 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been really happy at Stanbridge Mama Bear’s Day Nursery. He is always welcomed in each morning by smiling staff who care for him and his needs. The management have been proactive in supporting my child’s development by knowing his specific needs well and preparing his transition to School in September. My son has enjoyed the activities available such as baking and going on the bus to the Library or the park.
