Our daughter (who is now two years old) has been going to this nursery since she was 8 months old. She has progressed from baby to toddler room and is always happy to go there! The staff are really kind and reliable. We are amazed at how much she is learning and at how they have supported her development through the various stages while encouraging her to be independent from really early on. We also enjoy seeing what she does and eats through the nursery app. We highly recommend this nursery!

Lovely staff, smiling and happy children, a safe place and a great manager. They welcomed our baby with so much love and looked after her so well. Our baby loves being there, we are so happy and lucky to have found this gem of a nursery!

Our son started here in June 2023 and we have been very happy with our choice. We looked around a few nurseries in the area but this one felt like the best fit immediately. All of the staff we have met here are exceptional and truly care for the children. They all know my son's name and likes and dislikes, even the staff members working with other age groups. For us the best parts have been: Son has a fantastic relationship with key workers and all members of staff; Son is happy in nursery; Very secure garden where children play daily with their own age group and also the opportunity to play with children of other ages; Excellent weaning support helped my son move on from purees to eating most things within a few months; Separate bedroom for the baby room allows naptime in a quiet darkened room; Lots of messy/sensory play; Daily updates on what our son is doing in nursery via the app. Staff always have time to update you on how your child is doing. We would 100% recommend this nursery.

The staff are amazing, my son has been attending since he was 5 months and loves it. His experience feels very personal and I trust he's always extremely well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My experience with this nursery has been absolutely amazing. I was worried my little 3-year-old girl would struggle transitioning from home to nursery, as she had never been to nursery before, but after less than a month she wakes up with a smile on her face, telling me she wants to go to nursery and she happily talks about her key person, other carers and nursery manager, often, when she is at home. The nursery truly managed to create a stimulating, fun, caring and loving atmosphere for my daughter. The carers are incredible and went the extra mile to suggest slight changes to her routine to help her settle better. They treated my daughter like their own and knew when to cuddle and reassure her. I was amazed at how everyone at the nursery knew my daughter and her initial difficulties settling in and how each one was also aware of her improvements. I felt I was in a big family and that all the carers were aware of where my daughter was on her journey. I recommend them without hesitation!

My daughter attended the nursery from being 14 months old to 2 years and 10 months old. Once she started there, her development accelerated and she has surprised us many times with how much she had learned and continued to thrive throughout her time there. She always enjoyed attending the nursery, she would happily go in each morning and come out with a smile at the end of the day. This was very reassuring for us as parents, especially as she started there in the early days of covid and we couldn't go inside with her. The activities they do are well thought out and ensure the children are exposed to a variety of learning, including about different cultures. The toys are clean and well kept and there is a sweet garden that they play in. The staff were always friendly and built genuine relationships with the children. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their child.

Our child started at Bright Horizons Spitalfields when he was 6 months old and we cannot recommend the nursery enough. The manager and her team have done a wonderful job settling our child in and helping him with his development through the various stages. The communication is excellent and we have always been able to speak to the team when needed. He is now 2 years old and sadly will be leaving the nursery, but we will always be grateful to Bright Horizons for keeping our child happy, healthy and supported.

From the first visit, we were extremely impressed by the peaceful atmosphere and the lack of shouting compared to other nurseries we had seen. Our son had an amazing time there, and despite spending only around a year up till school age made tremendous progress on all fronts. While he barely spoke and only in our native language prior to joining, one year later he makes full complex sentences in English. Once there he made a lot of progress on all areas of his development, but also had a very good time and was eager to go there in the morning. The staff has been nothing short of great with him and we’re very involved with him, but also provided us very regular feedback and advice to address areas of development. Overall we were very happy with this nursery and are recommending it to every one of our friends.

Our son settled in very quickly due to the attentive care of the staff. Communication was frequent and proactive. Highly recommend this nursery as staff and management provide a high-quality service.

I have two kids attending Bright Horizons Spitalfields. I have been amazed by the care provided. Both of my kids are extremely happy to go to nursery, they have bonded extremely well with their carers. I have seen great behaviour and intellectual developments. In Covid times, the communication remained opened and frequent which made us feel still very connected to our kids and the nursery.

Lovely nursery - the staff are always friendly and my son loves it. Lots of activities to keep him entertained. Their approach to menus is outstanding and they are very thorough when it comes to safety. Highly recommended.

The staff at this nursery are fantastic. I feel very safe leaving my daughter there. She gets excellent care and clear tracking of goals around her interaction with others, communication, motor skills. She genuinely seems to have fun and comes back at the end of the day surprising us with something she has learned even if she is only 18 months. Staff are polite, enthusiastic, and have made a lot of efforts to fill the gap in our nursery experience which has been left by not being allowed physically into the nursery as a parent. Whilst this is normal for me (my child started post-pandemic) I still appreciate the effort very much. We get reports on her learning and pictures which are either scanned or emailed on a regular basis so we feel like we are missing out a little less. Garden is not the biggest compared to other nurseries in the area, but from what I can tell this does not stop the kids from having fun. Very happy. Would highly recommend.

My son started full time at the nursery at 8.5 months old and left last week as we moved out of the area. I was extremely impressed by the nursery, from my initial correspondence with the manager to the settling in period to the end of his time there. I really felt the staff genuinely cared about my son, and he flourished in the time he was there in terms of his development. I found the communication from the team excellent, and would highly recommend the nursery to other parents. Unfortunately, because he joined in September when covid restrictions were in place, I was never able to physically enter the nursery, so I can't comment on the facilities.

I have found Bright Horizons at Spitalfields a good place for my daughter to spend good quality time, learn and play with very nice and qualified members of staff. She has been in the baby room for 3 months before she moved into the toddler room. The staff worked hard and patiently to help my daughter settle and start to enjoy her time at nursery. I have also noticed that my daughter learns new things which she brings back home and this reassured me that she is in the right place. All staff are lovely and professional and the manager is a diligent and professional individual.

Our son has attended Bright Horizons Spitalfields for nearly three years. We selected the nursery because of the happy atmosphere amongst both staff and children. Our son has been cared for, encouraged to be himself and listened to throughout his time there (as have we!). The staff do all they can to engage the children, develop their curiosity and help them develop into kind, thoughtful little people. We have been extremely impressed with the way the team has managed coronavirus and we trust that our son is safe in their care.

Our daughter has been full time at Bright Horizons Spitalfields since she was nine months old. She has recently moved to the toddler room after spending over a year in the baby room. The staff are very competent and ably led the location manager. They have always been open to discourse and try to work with the parents when asked eg Potty training. The nursery is small enough that she knows all the staff. She always comes home happy and tired from a full day of diverse activities and we are very happy with her development there. Feedback can sometimes be erratic but never over important things and never due to a lack of carrying out enthusiasm. They have been professional during lockdown and have never cut corners of put our daughter at risk.

Our daughter has attended Bright Horizons for 3 years and we only have good memories from her time there. The quality of care is exceptional and the facilities are great. Our daughter has learnt so much throughout her time there, she still talks fondly about nursery and everybody that works there. My daughter has also built friendships which I hope will last despite her moving to big school! I highly recommend Bright Horizons!!

My son is temporarily at Bright Horizons Spitalfields whilst we wait for his normal nursery to reopen after lockdown. The staff at Spitalfields are great. I had concerns as we hadn’t seen the nursery or met the staff but they went out of their way to reassure us as parents and to make our son feel welcome. Within a few days he was happily talking about “new nursery” and “new friends”. He is really benefiting from interaction with other adults and children after being in lockdown. I fully understand why it is Ofsted Outstanding, they have handled all of the new guidelines very well and with minimal disruption to the children or parents. We have moved a few times so our son has tried a couple of different nurseries and this one is very well managed. If the location of the other nursery wasn’t so good for us we would have stayed at Spitalfields. Thanks to the Spitalfields team for all your help during this difficult period!

This is a nursery with very happy children which is all down to the staff and management. My child absolutely adored the staff. Generally a very positive atmosphere for learning and most importantly safe. A great mix of nationalities as well. I would highly recommend the nursery for anyone considering a place for a baby, toddler or pre-schooler.

Our 2.5-year-old son loves nursery - from putting in the door code to saying hello to all of the teachers to hanging his coat on his peg. He has learned polite manners and independence and great verbal communication from interacting with the children and staff at Bright Horizons. He truly loves going to see all of the staff and team!
