  • Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool, Horsham
An inspiring purpose-built nursery in Horsham.

Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is located two miles west of Horsham town centre, with excellent road and rail connections. There is plenty of space for children to learn and explore, with six individual bright and airy age specific rooms for children from 3 months to 5 years.

The beautiful, purpose-built setting has been designed to ensure each room is tailored to different age groups and offer access to the large external play area for toddlers and preschool children, as well as a separate garden for babies.

Baby Room One, registered for babies aged 0-1 year old, has its own dedicated sleep room which is attached to the main room and allows for babies to sleep comfortably in a supervised, calm environment. The other baby rooms are specifically designed for more mobile babies, who are beginning to walk unaided and need more challenge in their environment.

With all-inclusive fees, which means you have less to pack on a busy morning, onsite meals are prepared with nutrition in mind. From healthy lunches and snacks to your chosen branded nappies and wipes included in the fees. Ofsted have rated the nursery as Good (February 2023).

The team are excited to be part of your child’s journey and look forward to meeting you and your little one soon. Book a personal tour with the nursery today!

Our daughter started nursery having never been looked after by anyone other than her parents. The staff have all been absolutely wonderful, especially those in Baby Room 1 and Baby Room 2. We can't thank them enough for helping this huge step in our lives. Our daughter formed a bond with the staff so
quickly which we can clearly see at drop off and pick ups, she reaches out to them with a big smile happy to see them and her friends. Her confidence and development have come on leaps and bounds since she started. We feel secure knowing that our daughter is happy, safe and well cared for. The nursery is so clean, the toys are in great condition. The food menu is brilliant and they cater so well for her dietary requirements. The activities they offer each day are so varied. We receive regular updates on the app throughout the day with photos and videos. We are forever grateful to the staff for all their support and excellent care of our daughter and highly recommend this nursery.

Lovely staff, great standards, great care.
My child feels happy every day of the week to go to nursery.
I find the food menus well balanced.
The care and safety are great, I have been informed every time my child is not feeling well or got hurt while playing, or if he's taken out for outdoor activities
and walks.
I have seen the staff love my little one and care for him when he's down emotionally or for other reasons.
All around it's a great place for one's child to be in.

We have been at Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool for around six months now and can honestly say, we love the nursery. Our son has settled so well and we have noticed how he has grown and developed.
Upon walking in the door, you are greeted by friendly staff who all know your child
and welcome them by name.
Our child has been in Baby 1 and Baby 2 and has made bonds with the staff and their dedicated carer. My son has a great time at nursery and is so happy to be dropped off here. The updates through the day are fab too and the photos the staff provide are lovely and interesting to see what the children are up to/learning.
Can honestly say, we are very happy with our choice of nursery and love that our son loves it here too.

Feeling anxious about putting my 3-month-old into nursery after my partner needed to return to work, the ladies made the transition so relaxed and made us feel so at ease. Knowing our baby is safe and well looked after is all we can ask for as parents. The quality of care is outstanding, I cannot recommend
Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool enough.

Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is always kind, caring and supportive towards the children and parents. The staff are always building strong, positive relationships with the children and adults. We get regular updates on the app which is always helpful and it is great to see what activities
our daughter has shown an interest in. The nursery offers a wide range of activities to keep all children stimulated, engaged and support with their development. Our daughter loves going to nursery and she has been attending Bright Horizons for a year. We dread the day she moves on to start school! Thank you to all the staff who have supported our daughter. You all work exceptionally hard and the long hours the staff do have not gone unnoticed!

Bright Horizons Nursery is like our 2nd family and has a home-from-home feel. All staff are attentive, kind, and caring. Our daughter has two key workers who regularly provide us with updates and photos of our daughter's progress/activities from the day. We find these updates so helpful which tell us
what our daughter has eaten throughout the day and record nappy changes/naps. Both ladies have been fantastic! I would like the acknowledge all the staff, particularly in baby rooms 1, 2, and 3 who have provided our daughter with a safe and stimulating play environment where we have noticed her confidence continuing to grow. We are so thankful for all the staff and it puts our minds at ease knowing our daughter is always well looked after and in good hands! Thank you to everyone and Bright Horizons Horsham for consistently providing a nurturing, happy environment which my daughter loves! We are truly grateful!

A lovely intimate nursery. My child has been with them for over two years and still has another year or so to go. The key workers are the best, some of them also moved up with the children, so have kept a wonderful relationship. They do a really diverse selection of activities and teach the little ones
so many great life skills. The food menus are so good - my child eats better than we do!

As a parent, I wanted my daughter’s nursery to be a safe space which is loving, nurturing and full of joy. Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool has been that and so much more. The staff are caring and supportive, they provide individual attention to every child. Parents are daily given
an update both in person and through their app. The staff have been accommodating through my daughter’s various needs - be it food, allergens or teething issues. The nursery is clean and has multiple safety measures to ensure children’s safety. My daughter loves going to the nursery and refuses to come home, despite being there full day! I strongly recommend this nursery to any parents - all your concerns will go away once your child settles in.

Bright Horizons Horsham was able to offer my son a space after he changed childcare providers, and it has been the most welcoming and nurturing environment for him. Special shout out to the staff, who spent time and energy with our son to make him feel calm and included when he felt nervous and anxious
in his new surroundings. Thank you all so much for making his experience very enjoyable!

My daughter recently started attending Bright Horizons 3 days a week on March 24. She's never been to nursery before and she loves it. The staff were great at making sure she was settled before she officially started and had a number of settling-in days which helped. All of the staff are great and so
nice. I love that she's always learning new things and she does lots of arts and crafts. Since she's been going, her speech has improved even more. She's settled in so well and she enjoys going. The staff are great with providing updates and photos when she's there too. It's a perfect nursery and I will be sending my youngest there when he's ready.

We could not be happier with the nursery choice. Everyone is so welcoming and it feels like an extension of home for our daughter. The ladies in Baby 1 room are the best at their job, making everyday interesting for the little ones.
Truly one of the best nurseries in the area.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery every week! She has so many friends. Has fun exploring new food and playing with all her friends.
The staff are always so helpful and friendly and always up for a good chat!
Soon her brother will be joining her in the nursery, which I think he will love
as well.

My eldest has been here since he's 1 and my second child has just started. From day one we've loved it here. The staff are so lovely and I feel like they are really part of my children's lives. My eldest learns so many things in preschool and he always talks about the staff when he gets home. My youngest
is loved and supported whilst he settles in. The setting itself is modern, always clean and the food is healthy. I can't thank them enough for the hard work they all do.

All three of my children have been to a Bright Horizons Day Nursery and Preschool. We’ve been part of the Bright Horizons Horsham family since October 2021. My middle child was a lockdown baby and once she started, aged 12 months, the change in her was almost instant. My youngest one started in the
baby room and his journey is about to come to an end, aged 2, because he’s moving on to the nursery at the school he’s going to go to. The foundation the girls have given both my younger kids has been amazing and fully prepared them for the transition to a big school setting. They cater to their individual needs and with my youngest they recognised his need to be with slightly older kids because he is the youngest of three and transitioned him to the next room early. He is so happy every morning when I drop him off and pick him up, I couldn’t ask for more.
The management team have been so supportive and welcoming, I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery more. So much so that if ever I have another child, I’ll be back.

All the staff are lovely. They take great care of my son and encourage him to learn, grow and integrate with all the other children.
It's a happy place that my son enjoys going to. He is thriving, and that is in no small part due to the fabulous staff at Bright Horizons.

The nursery have been absolutely wonderful for my daughter since she started. The staff are exceptional, so caring and committed, and they always let you know as much as they can about your child's day. My daughter loves the staff in her room. The activities always look brilliant and my little one has
picked up so many songs, words and actions that she wouldn't have learnt from me at home. Highly recommended. Thanks to all the staff there for making it such a welcoming place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.902 for Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.902

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Horsham Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
