We are really happy with Farnborough Bright Horizons. The staff are excellent and extremely attentive to our daughter's needs. We have already seen a huge step forward in terms of confidence and our daughter definitely shows signs that she is very happy there.

My son goes to the preschool and I am very happy with his development. He comes home very happy, chatting about his lovely teachers and what he's been up to all day. I am very grateful and happy with everything. The staff and the management are amazing. Thank you. You are the best.

Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool has been outstanding from my child’s first day to his current one. We are always welcomed with a friendly hello, the staff all know my child by name and will make a point to greet him (even if he's in another class). They offer lots of new activities every day, they go above and beyond in helping children develop their social and emotional skills in a child-safe setting. The chef offers a great selection of nutritious food which my child eats a lot of! Even stuff he would never eat at home (so it must be good). The management team are supportive, kind and professional. The teachers in the rooms are always upbeat, kind and friendly and bring fun and excitement into the classroom. I’m so grateful to have my child in such a wonderful setting for his early years education.

I just had to write a review on this nursery! I was so worried about my baby starting nursery so young but I can honestly say my journey at Bright Horizon Farnborough has been so lovely. The management team are so understanding and supportive. They take their time, they get stuck in also and get to know your children. Every single member of staff are polite and fantastic with children. I feel like all my worries were for nothing as they look after my son so well and he is so happy. Thank you so much to and team.

Such a wonderful place for my son's learning. Excellent management with an open-door policy and they have some really fantastic nursery teachers. I cannot speak highly enough about this nursery my son is so happy every day he attends and his learning has grown over the last few months. Very satisfied.

The whole Bright Horizons team and setting have been outstanding. My son settled in well with the help of his key worker and with the other lovely staff too. He's well-fed, spends lots of active time outside, and is making great connections with other children and adults. It's well run, and the facilities are excellent and provide a range of different activities to keep him entertained and to aid the development of lots of skills. He loves the soft playroom! We are very happy to send our little one here.

Lovely friendly nursery, the rooms are clean organised and welcoming. The staff are professional and personable they clearly know the children well. My daughter has been attending for 2 years now and I could not be happier with the care she receives. They communicate well, they use an app which allows me to check in throughout her day.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Not that I have had any other experience of any other nursery - I don’t need to as this is perfect. Bright Horizons has been very beneficial to the development of our son whilst providing us with childcare. Every member of staff I have encountered at the nursery has so much enthusiasm and energy for the children they look after and from my understanding know all the children independently and what personality they have even if that member of staff isn’t their key worker. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bright Horizons and have only good things to say about it.

The management team is always open to helping you and your child, particularly during the settle-in period. They know your child by name and you have direct communication through the nursery app. They are kind and very professional. The nurses are selected carefully and have long experience and studies in childcare. After a long day of activities, children come back home happy and with a smile. I feel every day reassured that I made the best decision with this nursery, of all there are in Farnborough, even though this is not the closest to my home.

Both of my daughters attend Bright Horizons Farnborough - my oldest has been there since July 2021 - and I’ve continuously been impressed by them. Both girls thoroughly enjoy their time there - they get so much out of their interactions with both the other children and the staff. The team of staff have always been great too - attentive, and friendly, and I have great confidence in their abilities to look after my girls both safely and in a way to support their learning too. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

We are so pleased with this nursery. Having moved from another large chain nursery, we were worried that similar big chain attributes would be here too but we have been so surprised. Our little boy is so happy here. He is always excited to go in and tells us he loves nursery. The room staff are attentive and caring. Yesterday my son was upset as we were attending his big brother's school nativity without him. So the pre-school staff quickly arranged a small Christmas sing-along concert for my son and his preschool friends. He was so happy! We couldn't believe they did that just for him to feel happier. The management is also brilliant at this nursery. Both young mums who genuinely care for all the children's wellbeing and often pop into the rooms too. There have been instances when my son is extra clingy at drop off and they have helped comfort him, get down to his level and talk to him, allowing me to feel extra reassured as I leave. The food choices are also excellent!

We really love the team and the care the provide to our son. He comes home happy and full of chat everyday about the activities they do. He talks very highly of his carers and friends. Both our children have been to the nursery and we have always felt happy and safe with them being there.

A great nursery. The management team and staff have been very helpful, friendly and welcoming from the get-go. The activities are varied and superb; not to mention the high quality and plethora of food they serve during the week. We can rest assured at work, whilst our child is in their very caring and capable hands during the day at nursery. The nursery app is an amazing tool for parents to keep track of their children during the day. Top class! Keep up the excellent work!

My son started nursery here a few months ago so I could go back to work. He is one of the youngest there but I am so pleased with the level of attention he gets from all staff. We get updates on the app every day, and even photos, sometimes multiple times a week, that shows me the activities that he does and how his development is getting on. They focus on sensory experiences for my little one and also encourage movement and for him to develop at his own pace. I would recommend this nursery 1000 times over. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and this stretches from the office to the classrooms. So happy with my choice and I have told all of my family and friends about how amazing it is here.

The safety and care of a child is every parent's priority and Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool does exactly that. I drop my children off each day knowing that their needs are being catered for. Come pick-up time, they've always had a smile on their faces and even secret handshakes with the team. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Our son started nursery in April of this year (2023). As every new parent, I was apprehensive when maternity leave ended and our son would need to be cared for by someone else for part of the week. The staff at Bright Horizons Farnborough Day Nursery and Preschool, from day one, took the time to make me feel as comfortable as possible. They were empathetic, caring and worked hard to make the transition as smooth as possible. Since starting, our son has thrived. He's picked up so many new skills and has become quite the social butterfly. The app is fantastic and helps me feel in touch with him at all times, giving me real-time updates on his nutrition, nappies and naps. I also get regularly updated with the activities he's been up to and love coming home with baked treats and drawings that he has been working on at nursery. They say it takes a village to raise a child and for some people, circumstance means they don't have that village naturally, I'm so lucky to have Bright Horizons Farnborough as my village.

I have two nieces that thoroughly enjoy their time at nursery. They have both grown and developed wonderfully into amazing, bright, and confident little girls with the help of the kind, caring and dedicated staff. This is such a lovely nursery and they have so many friends that they enjoy telling me about every time I see them.
26 April 2023
Our daughter started nursery in September and has flourished since day one. We have both noticed her confidence in walking, talking and awareness develop over this time. We have had two occasions where staff have picked up on an illness that has required medical attention i.e. throat infection which saved Christmas for us in getting antibiotics early. A special mention must go to two staff members in particular, who allow me to ask questions as a first-time mum and are not only incredibly professional but also approachable in their work. The only consideration we would suggest for the future is a welcome introduction pack for parents. Whilst those two staff members have been brilliant in answering questions this could be a smoother process potentially for other parents in the future. Thank you for all the hard work you are doing and supporting our daughter.

We have been sending our 20 month old son to Farnborough Bright Horizons for two days a week, for almost one year. We have been very happy with our son's care throughout his time there. The team make great use of the fantastic app with regular updates and photos from the various activities that he is taking part in. My wife and I enjoy checking the app to see what our son has had for lunch, nap times etc. The standard of care and attention has been consistently excellent. The staff know the children and their little personalities and our son smiles when he is handed over in the morning which says it all. We have also been very impressed with the variety of food that the children are served - far more adventurous than we would have imagined and our son certainly enjoys eating it. We would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents.
26 April 2023
As a first time mum putting our babies into nursery is scary and daunting. We have been using Bright Horizons Farnborough for nearly a year now and they have been excellent and I always feel very happy leaving my son there. The app they use is fantastic and I love being able to check in and see what he has been eating and doing during the day. I love the photo and learning updates too. I feel very confident that the staff really care and would highly recommend them.
