Our daughter started at this nursery last year, just after turning one! From the get-go, all the amazing staff such as her key worker could not have done more to help her settle, support us and make the overall experience effortless, carefree and one we could not recommend more highly to others. They truly care immensely for the children in their care and do everything they can to support not only the little ones but their wider families. The daily updates and any communications for that matter, are both thoughtful, kind, efficient and thorough. Thank you so much Bright Horizons for making this overall experience so amazing and one that we shall truly never forget.

Bright Horizons Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool has been such a great support for my child. The staff at Bright Horizons are so welcoming and dedicated and I am happy with the environment and facilities provided. Keep up the good work!

My daughter started with Bright Horizons Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool last year and I am very pleased that I picked them as a nursery. They organised a good range of settling-in sessions at different times of day and took detailed information to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. They give good detailed updates on what she had been doing as well as more detailed observations and regular reviews. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and my daughter seems so happy there - she runs in in the morning and is clearly comfortable with the staff. I would definitely recommend them to others.

The staff at Bright Horizons Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool go above and beyond for my little one. I really appreciate their proactive attitude to designing activities that foster the development of my child but are also often themed around current events and holidays. The staff at the nursery are always easy to talk to and are clearly very passionate about my child's well-being and ensuring that they get the most out of their days at the nursery. One of the things I appreciate the most is the progress reports, highlighting developmental milestones my child has met and what the nursery can do to help develop them further. Overall, I don't believe these lovely staff members could do anymore to make me feel more at ease as a parent leaving my child with them, knowing they will have a brilliant and nurturing experience in a safe environment. Thank you!

Thank you to all the staff members of Bright Horizons for always going above and beyond for the children and even the parents. Both my children enjoy coming here and I feel confident they are being cared for. This is particularly important as one of my children has severe food allergies. The nursery and preschool has a warming and welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends.

My little one settled into life at BH Guildford quickly and easily, thanks to the amazing staff that made him feel safe and welcome. The staff are amazing at keeping us updated through the app and we have always felt listened to when we had questions or requests. The app has made the transition much easier for us as we can see what he is up to during the day. We also love seeing the updates at the end of the day! My son has a food allergy and the staff have been very attentive with this. They also look for cues that he is ready to try new textures, which has made a huge difference to his eating habits. Overall, we are very happy with our little one’s development since starting at BH. He has learned a lot and always seems very happy when taking part in the activities. Would 100% recommend it!

Our son has been made so welcome. He feels safe and adored by all the staff there, not just those based in his classroom. As a result, he has settled quickly and clearly feels safe, happy and fulfilled at the nursery. They have so much love and patience for the little ones which has made the transition to starting nursery really easy for us all. Our son is showing huge improvements in his communication, confidence, his eating/self-feeding abilities, holding a paintbrush, the list goes on and this has all been carefully taught and encouraged by his lovely team of teachers in fun and engaging ways. His newfound independence is spilling over into all aspects of his life. They do so many lovely activities and play based on what the kids enjoy and they celebrate lots of special events, including from the multitude of cultures that make up the class, so it feels as though the children are celebrated as individuals. Our son is so happy there. Such a special place. Highly recommend.

We have been very happy with the nursery and extremely satisfied with the all members of staff who are very helpful, kind, and caring. Our daughter is super excited to go there every day which is always great to see as a parent. She is making great progress and enjoys all the day-to-day activities she is involved with. Highly recommended.

My son turns 2 in May and has been at the nursery since he was 5 months old. He adores going to nursery and quite often doesn't want to go home at the end of the day! I'm regularly updated throughout the day on the app, and have always found the staff very helpful for advice if we need to discuss anything to do with his tantrums! We are due our second child this year and will be signing them up too!

We have been so pleased with our choice of nursery for our son. He has settled in so well at this nursery with a thorough settling-in period that made us and him feel at home. He loves going to nursery and all the staff have made lots of effort to get to know him. His keyworker is informative and so attentive to him and his needs, we get regular updates and observations for him. The management are very approachable, always happy to speak to you and answer any questions. We can’t recommend it enough!

I can't describe how great the nursery and the staff are at the Bright Horizon Guildford. My little one started there when he was 2 years and now he is turning 3 years. During the last year he was going there very happily, learnt so much, made lots of friends and most importantly he was safe. The staff are wonderful they became our second family supporting us during our hard times.
28 March 2024
Excellent nursery. Excellent care. Excellent teaching methods. My son is taught a lot and he does enjoy going to the nursery. Clean, tidy, punctual and caring staff. Plenty of learning methods, and activities.
28 March 2024
Couldn’t be more thankful to this nursery! The last few months have been hard navigating going back to work and settling my child into nursery and they have been supportive at every hurdle! It’s a really hard concept learning to let go and have other people look after your baby but all the staff at Bright Horizons are so lovely and welcoming! Always able to chat and advise you and they care so much about the children. I am so impressed and my daughter has settled in so well to nursery now, she loves going in!
28 March 2024
My daughter is well cared for and continues to develop at Bright Horizons. My daughter loves going to nursery to see her friends and her key worker. We love receiving updates and pictures on a daily basis.

I feel emotional writing this thinking we will have to leave our nursery family soon to move on to reception at a school. What a great experience this is to see my child happy, wanting to go to nursery every day to see her friends and show her teachers something new. I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Guildford Nursery enough. It is important to know that my child is safe, has a good time and learns a lot day by day. Even at times when we had something to mention for improvement, we have been heard and this has been a key point to our relationship with the nursery team. Thank you for the important work you do, well done!

My experience with Bright Horizons Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool (BHG) has been overwhelmingly positive. BHG's commitment to providing an exceptional educational setting, celebrating diverse cultures, and fostering transparency in communication between staff and parents has been invaluable. Their dedication to working collaboratively with parents on developmental milestones sets them apart. The management team's proactive approach to addressing concerns further demonstrates BHG's commitment to continuous improvement. I wholeheartedly recommend BHG to any parent seeking a nurturing, educational, and culturally diverse environment for their child. Our experience over the past year has been exceptional and we eagerly anticipate many more enriching years ahead with BHG.

Staff always attentive and understanding of my needs as a working mother with a child who has always been very fussy. The manager is always approachable and experienced, you can tell that she takes pride in her job and supporting her staff. My son is learning a lot attending the setting and I feel that they are preparing them well for the next stage.

I cannot rate Bright Horizons high enough. Two totally different characters of children of ours have gone there, and they made a huge effort to get to know them. My children have been so happy and look forward to it each week!

We are very happy with this nursery and would happily recommend it to friends and family. Both our daughters have attended this nursery since they were one year old. The support and care that all staff including managers provide for the children and parents are phenomenal. Children leave this nursery well-prepared for school with all necessary knowledge and skills, which they are developing daily at the nursery, completing well thought out activities, tasks, games and educational milestones.
20 April 2023
Our son has been going to nursery over six months now and he really loves all the activities and all the members of staff. Everyone is lovely and they genuinely care about the best for our kids. On a daily basis they do really lovely educational and fun activities and the facilities are clean and really nice. I want to say an extra thank you and congratulations to the manager and the management team for always trying to help out our family and for always addressing any needs we might have. Thank you all, you are amazing!
