21 March 2025
My daughter began attending nursery at 9 months after I accepted a role at a local hospital. While she did cry a few times during my initial departures, she quickly adapted and now seems to happily ignore my goodbyes. It's clear that she is really enjoying her time there! The staff are wonderful, always greeting the children with positivity, and I have found the other parents to be just as lovely. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and love it!

Great nursery, our child loves it and they know them well. Wish they had more capacity. Food is good, lots of activities, always comes home happy. App is good too. Great opening hours and open all year round.

My daughter started attending Bright Horizons Bunnybrookes Day Nursery and Preschool full-time since she was 11 months and stayed until she started reception. Staff were very friendly and helpful with a high retention rate comparing to a lot of other nurseries. Activities were fun and engaging, they did a lot of messy play and arts and crafts with various themes. They spent a lot of time in the garden with seasonal activities, such as growing vegetables, using the apples they picked from the garden to make apple pies etc. In the pre-school year, she learnt how to write her name, counting and alphabet. Management team was always very responsive. They always provided updates on the app regularly with pictures which was always nice to know so I could ask her about the activities she did! The fees and fee increase over the years were also very reasonable comparing to other nurseries as well. Only thing that could be improved would be that the facility of the nursery was a bit outdated and the temperature control system wasn't very good.

The staff are helpful and patient with my child settling into nursery. The updates from the app give us parents peace of mind. He gets good manners and repeats polite phrases from Bright Horizons Bunnybrookes Day Nursery and Preschool. Every time we pick him up he is not always in a hurry to leave. We are very pleased.

The staff are amazing. Very helpful and kind. They are giving a very good care of my little girl and she is very satisfied and happy with them. They've got a lot activities for the kids and trying to make sure that all of the kids will be included. Thank you, Bunnybrookes!

We have both our children at Bunnybrookes and have been with them for 2+ years. I couldn't speak higher of the staff. They are always so kind and helpful. Always greet my children with a smile and a hello. I am often told detailed stories from what they have been doing in the day and take home the crafts they have been making. There is always such a wide range of educational activities to keep the children entertained such as dress up, play dough, tuff tray, messy play, painting, imaginative play, garden play and learning time. A great variety of food on offer. They are very accommodating when we collect the children early to pack them up with a sandwich. The older children’s room could do with a bit of a facelift as it feels a little tired and well worn. But no reflection at all on the care and love they show each child that walks in there door. Thank you to all the staff at Bunnybrookes, you make going to work so much easier knowing they are being loved and having fun with you all!

We've been at 3 nurseries, all have been good, but this is by far the best. The staff are very caring and most have all been there for over a year, which means they build good relationships with our 2 children which means they are happy to go in every day. We haven't had any days where kids can't go in due to short staffing issues, which can happen at other places. We are very happy and would gladly recommend.

My daughter is now coming to the end of her 3rd and final year at Bunnybrookes. She has loved it throughout. We have always found the team to be helpful and supportive, our daughter has always developed excellent relationships with her key person and talks like they are her best friends. The activities put on for the children are entertaining and nurturing, something our daughter always gets a little addicted to.

The nursery has been excellent for all 4 of our boys and we will greatly miss all of the girls. All four boys would all like to pass on their thanks and fondest regards to everyone at Bunnybrookes.

My son loves coming to nursery every day! The staff have been amazing at settling him in and the management have been so helpful sorting everything out for us. He loves the food at Bunnybrookes and the chef is so helpful at catering for all his needs! Can’t recommend enough!
05 April 2023
Everyone has been wonderful with our son in nursery! They have encouraged him to continue potty training (which I initiated over Xmas holidays) every day and I will forever be grateful for that. Every detail is looked into - allergies etc and I am always pleased to get reports on how much he has eaten or slept. I would highly recommend the nursery!

I think my son enjoys going to the nursery because he doesn't cry when we leave him at the door. He also looks forward to going to the nursery. The app is regularly updated with the food they have eaten for the day, sleep times and nappy change times, which is great. The staff are great and they really do care for the kids. The only reason why I gave four stars instead of five is because they don't regularly post photos every day of your child. Maybe it's just me but I am feeling envious of my friends who have their kids in a different nursery and they post pictures of the kids activities every day. I just felt that it would be nice to have daily photos posted on the app. Other than that, it's very convenient for work. And all the staff are friendly and accommodating too.

Both my boys love going to Bunnybrookes, every day. The staff are very friendly and professional. Communication is good between staff and parents. The nursery app updates regularly so we know our boys' development and progress. The location is convenient for anyone who works at the biomedical campus.

The staff are very friendly and make our child feel very welcome in the morning, so she settles in quickly. We get regular feedback about her, which is great and the activities the children do together are fab. I particularly enjoy the photo updates. Our child is always asking to go back to Bunnybrookes (even at weekends!).

We would recommend Bunnybrookes to all parents or carers. The staff are amazing, the facilities are great and the activities and care they give to the children is so lovely. Our son has been going since he was nine months old, he settled really well and the staff went out of their way to reassure us re his development and changes due to covid. We have a lot of confidence in the nursery and trust that the staff care and look after his needs well. The management newsletters and daily app updates and photos are great, and we really love seeing what he’s up to.

We could not be happier with every aspect of Bright Horizons Bunnybrookes Day Nursery and Preschool. The staff are so incredibly kind and caring, they have adapted well to the changing rules regarding Covid-19 and kept us updated at every step. Our son has fantastic relationships with the staff and other children, and he talks about what he enjoys about his day at nursery.
24 May 2021
Both my kids have been in Bunnybrookes. So it's almost 8 years of Bunnybrookes experience for me. Friendly, caring staff. My kids love them. I am feeling sad that my association with Bunnybrookes will be over soon as my kid will be moving to school.
18 May 2021
We’re so grateful to the staff at Bright Horizons Bunnybrookes for the excellent care and support they provide for our son. He settled in quickly (much more quickly than expected!), has made great friends with the other children as well as the staff and is happy to attend every day. We especially appreciate the focus on learning and development and regular progress reports, which have provided valuable insight during this time when we cannot enter the building or interact as much with the staff day to day. A big thank you to the team!

It was absolutely fantastic when my son's key person handed us the folder with his latest works for Christmas and his growing booklet with all his activities and related pictures. We were very grateful to see our son in that lovely and friendly environment, always having fun. Thank you for your amazing work keeping kids safe and meanwhile, letting them have fun.

My daughter has thrived since joining the nursery. She absolutely loves going and is a lot more independent. She enjoys spending time with her friends there. The teachers are kind and approachable. The back garden is an added bonus for outdoor activities.
