Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery for just over a year and it was the best decision we ever made for her development, social skills and networking. We have had days where the separation anxiety got a bit much, making drop off a little more challenging than other days, and the team in Andover were absolutely fantastic. They truly went over and above to make her feel comfortable and at ease. The nursery manager is outstanding and every member of the team is fantastic, friendly and accommodating to what your children need. I could not rate or recommend Bright Horizons Andover enough! Thank you for all you do.

We are very happy with the Bright Horizons Nursery in Andover. The team of teachers is wonderful - professional, joyful, and knowledgeable, with a fantastic approach to children. Every day is a new adventure. Our son enjoys the activities and learns so much in the process. The nursery was recently refurbished and the management made sure it looks fantastic. Each room is well-equipped with toys and activities, always clean and tidy. There is a large outdoor garden that the children use daily. What I absolutely love is the warm, cosy atmosphere in each room, with soft lighting, thoughtful decorations, and a home-like feel. I've been told that the food is very tasty as well. My son loves going there, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he is in good hands every day.

Our son has been with Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool since September and he has loved it. He settled really quickly and the team have been fantastic. Everyone is so welcoming and clearly enjoys their job. I highly recommend this nursery!

Our daughter started at the nursery in April/May of 2023 at 7/8 months old and I am so glad she did. She loves all the staff and her friends and the communication from the nursery is always great! Would certainly recommend.

Honestly, the best nursery! All the staff are so lovely and my daughter loves her nursery days so much. I was nervous to send my daughter to nursery but they have made the whole process so smooth and my daughter is thriving there. They are so caring and give so much detail at the end of the day so I know how her day has gone. They are also amazing with any dietary requirements! Will definitely be sending my next child here.

The team at Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool are absolutely fabulous. They adore my child and the children in their care and this is evident in the way they interact with them. My son has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his development, especially his speech and language. I love hearing about his day on pick-up and the updates staff provide on the app throughout the afternoon are lovely! I especially like the photos and that I can see exactly what he's eaten and consumed throughout the day. Management and staff are supportive and can't do enough to help alleviate any worries or concerns. Would give more than five stars if I could.

Very nice and friendly staff, kids love to go there. I wish they allowed half days as well, just like before. I am very happy with the food they give to the kids. My only issue is they let my son sleep too much, although I asked them not to, and it has an effect on his night sleep.

My daughter has thrived since joining this nursery. The staff are helpful, kind and compassionate, and I would recommend them to anyone.

The staff are amazing here! They listen to all your worries and concerns. They cater to every child's different needs and my daughter loves going there! Some drop-offs have tears but the staff are so good at settling her and reassuring me while I'm at work! They have a great new garden area which my daughter loves and comes home talking about the mud kitchen!

Our little boy started nursery at about one year old. We are really impressed with how all the members of staff interact with the little ones, our boy seems to know them all and be comfortable with them. He has an allergy and they are great at supporting his dietary needs. He has picked up some new signs at nursery and they do a range of fun activities. The updates in the app are useful and it's nice to see photos every week.

I am exceedingly pleased with the level of care and attention my little one has received from attending Bright Horizons Andover Day Nursery and Preschool from the baby room, through the transition room all the way to the preschool room. The members of staff are always happy to talk in detail about the day and are overjoyed to share my little one's wins for the day. In the preschool room, the children always have lots of options to choose from and the staff love to engage in whatever special interest my little one has in the moment. The room itself is large with plenty of different areas set out and has excellent access to the large outdoor play area which the children have free access to. The communication from the nursery has been excellent and I haven't had any problems in all the time we have been attending. Staff are happy to accept feedback and act quickly to rectify any issues. Exceptional!

My son started going to this nursery back in 2016 and my daughter started in 2019. They have both had a wonderful experience there. When I pick up my daughter, my son still loves seeing the staff. The staff are lovely, so friendly and professional and easy to talk to. Both my children had hearing issues but the staff were so accommodating to their needs and helped with their developing speech. Like most nurseries, the prices are not cheap, but I do think this place is worth the money. The food is nutritional and accommodating for dietary needs, my kids never come away hungry. The garden really encourages exploration and if my daughter isn't dirty then I wonder what she has been doing all day! It will actually be sad when my daughter leaves to start school in September, but I know she has had the best time.
07 July 2023
Absolutely outstanding service from everyone in the team. The staff clearly care about the children and always seem to be happy and engaged with the progress of your child. My daughter has been going for the past year and a half and has really bonded with the staff. The nursery is always clean and they ensure the children have plenty of activities to help them develop. Couldn't say a bad thing about them.

I cannot express how pleased I am that I chose Bright Horizons as the nursery to send my little boy to. My son started back in February and the progress I've seen in his understanding, speech and socialisation skills are incredible. He's been counting on his fingers, showing a massive interest in reading and eating foods that I would have had to plead him to eat at home. I look forward to seeing what new skills he's learnt each week. Never once have I felt worried in regards to his safety, just taking a tour around the nursery before we enrolled, you could see the safety protocols they have in place. All the staff are so incredible, especially the toddler room manager and the nursery room manager. Nothing is ever a pain for them, when I messaged to see how he is, there's always a speedy reply. My son talks about his key person all the time and knowing he feels safe and cared for by her, is all I could ask for.

Our daughter started in March 2022 and the nursery have been amazing! They have supported her settling in, as well as us parents. She loves going in every day and there is always fun activities set up for her to enjoy. Staff are so attentive and caring, we couldn't ask for a better nursery! We have just attended a great open day and the range of activities set up was amazing. Our daughter had great fun and we loved being able to speak to the staff as well as exploring the other rooms.
06 March 2023
Our daughter started in November 2022. She'd been in a child-minding setting before starting. Since then, she has continued to thrive in all aspects, but this has mostly been noted by us in her speech and methods of play. The staff have been so accommodating from the word go. Her settling-in sessions were arranged well and rearranged when we were struck with Covid. They're all so welcoming and any issues our daughter has had, they've listened and worked with us to get the best outcome for her. They keep you up to date throughout the day via the app and post observations that show what the children have been doing. It's really lovely to see how much they genuinely care. We're very pleased with our choice and know our daughter will continue to grow and thrive here until she starts school.
06 March 2023
Our son has thrived since joining at the end of last year and has been building fantastic relationships with the staff. All the staff are so friendly, accommodating and helpful! When we had issues with our son's sleep before starting, we were given lots of advice and felt like the room leaders really were working with us so we could establish a better routine. The extra level of care and consideration given is so reassuring and puts my mind at ease when mum-guilt creeps in. Our son's vocabulary has come on leaps and bounds, he gets excited by all the new activities that might be in store each day and has built a great relationship with his key person.
04 March 2023
The team at the nursery are very friendly, always welcoming us with a smile. They clearly care about the children's wellbeing and put a lot of effort into their learning and development. Our child absolutely loves going, which says everything about the facility. Our child has shown constant improvement in all aspects of their development, especially with using Makaton to aid communication and learning to be more independent. The nursery's communication is great with the introduction of the new app, so we can now easily see how our child is doing throughout the day.
02 March 2023
We have had a fantastic experience with this wonderful nursery, I cannot recommend it highly enough! My youngest daughter started at 17 months and settled in so well, staff are warm, caring and know each of the children really well. Our daughter has never had any reluctance to go in and usually heads straight into the room for a cuddle with one of the staff. We get great feedback on the activities she has been doing throughout the day. On the occasions when she has been poorly while at nursery I have felt confident in the staff's ability to care for her and contact me when appropriate. She eats well at nursery, the menu is varied and clearly, the food is tasty! I would also like to praise the admin side of the team - they were great at responding to my questions before we moved to Andover, and were always available and friendly. Thank you to the whole team!

Couldn't ask for a better team looking after my daughter. Since day one (9 months old), she has come on leaps and bounds in their care. At drop off, it is clear that all the staff are so caring towards all the children in the setting, taking in all their individual needs. The management team are brilliant at communicating with all the parents, whether that be through the app or via telephone. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends with children.
