08 November 2024
Both of our sons attended Bright Horizons Eddington Day Nursery and Preschool and we'll forever be grateful for the support and care we received from the incredible nursery staff over these past years (2019-2024). One of our sons was diagnosed with developmental and health challenges and the staff approached these with exceptional dedication, putting special development and health plans in place, reviewing them regularly and leading the applications for additional support. Their commitment was unwavering. Both of our boys loved their time at the nursery, made wonderful progress and formed deep bonds with their key caregivers. As parents, we always felt confident that they were safe and surrounded by people who genuinely cared about them.

Both of our daughters attended Bright Horizons Eddington Day Nursery and Preschool, with our eldest being part of the first cohort when the nursery initially opened. Our youngest daughter graduated in July 2024 and has now settled into reception wonderfully. It's been so encouraging to hear positive feedback from her teachers. The staff and management team at Eddington Nursery have been fantastic, not only with our children but also in their support of us, as parents. Both of our daughters thoroughly enjoyed their time there and we are truly grateful for the care they received.

I am very happy for this nursery for taking care of my child very well. Teachers are very kind and supportive. I am happy with the mobile app where we can see what our child is doing and also very good to see posts from the nursery about our child's learning progress.

Both of our children who went to Eddington really enjoyed their time there. They received excellent care, learned a lot and bonded well with their key people. We, as a family, felt supported by management as well; they were always helpful and on top of their jobs.
22 August 2023
Our son attended the nursery from May 2019 until July 2023. It has been a great source of comfort to us to know that he has been so well looked after and cared for. The staff have been excellent and provided a safe and caring environment which, for us, is the fundamental pillar of childcare. They have been open to feedback and have responded positively to our requests. We are extremely grateful to them for their efforts.

The staff at Eddington Nursery are truly one of a kind. I leave my son every day knowing he’s in the best hands and care. The nursery itself is beautiful, safe with risk assessments in place, and managed well. Communication is outstanding, and we as parents are always in the loop about updates and feedback. We can’t rank this nursery high enough and thank the wonderful team at the Eddington Nursery!

Our son has been at Eddington Nursery since August 2022 in the explorer's room (0-1). Above all, we have been very impressed with the staff at Bright Horizons and the level of care and the attention they give to our child's development and health has been very high. We are satisfied with the facilities and space for our son to be active indoors and outdoors (he is very active!), the creative activities the team organises for his development, the level of communication with us as parents both at the door and on the app and the personal touch and kindness that our child receives from his keyworker. Our son is very happy at Eddington, Bright Horizons and we are as well.

Our children have been at the nursery for a total of three years now. We are impressed with the great communication with any changes or extra support our children have needed. Always friendly when we arrive. Our kids have been thriving under Eddington’s care.

My child has been in Eddington nursery since 2019. We have been mostly satisfied with the services provided. The child is most of the time happy to come to the nursery and has formed meaningful connections with other children and staff. However, one of my concerns in the past half a year was a high frequency of permanent staff changing, including the key person changes in the same room for four times. Because of that, we have noticed a higher number of temporary agency workers covering for those roles. And there was some period of time when my child may have experienced unsettling feelings that could have affected their behaviour, including more frequent wee accidents whilst well potty trained. Also, bear in mind that facilities are great and rooms are spacious so they fit quite a large number of children, which I believe can increase the infections transmission rates and frequency of your child becoming ill, compared to say a smaller nursery group. Though I do prefer spaciousness.

Our daughter has been here for the last 2 years since she was 9 months old. She has had a few different key workers as she progressed through the rooms, has always spoken positively and frequently about each of them, and is always eager to go. From the managerial staff to the practitioners, they seem to be a kind and genuinely caring nursery. They provide a wealth of information about the activities the kids are doing, continual detailed and meaningful progress reports, and at home activities you as a parent can do to assist your child's development. We have seen them handle covid, and the response to a fire alarm effectively. This is the only nursery our child has been to, and whilst we don't have anything to compare against, we don't think there's much, if anything, lacking at all.

It's difficult to properly evaluate the nursery due to the Covid-19 situation. I feel often the management 'looks' more helpful than it really is. Often emails get unanswered or answered unsatisfactorily and with delay. We think the key worker is really good, but again, it's difficult to judge when we've not even seen the room our son is in. Additionally, things we'd consider common sense aren't always so - putting a short sleeve on when it's hot etc.

Eddington Bright Horizons is simply the best nursery we’ve encountered in our eight years of having our kids in childcare. Over the last year, the team have dealt calmly with the unprecedented circumstances of Covid whilst always delivering an amazing service and a high degree of professionalism. I’ve been so impressed with the staff who are always enthusiastic to see my daughter in the morning and from her stories put so much effort into making sure nursery is a safe, exciting and enriching place. They’ve handled changing circumstances and procedures seamlessly and have provided my daughter with a lovely dose of normality during Covid. The facilities are second to none including the on-site kitchen which produces super food for the kids. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery.

My son is very happy at the nursery. He likes playing with his friends and has a strong bond with the key person and other staff. Nursery provides a lot of great activities which are important for the development. The nursery building is great with large and light rooms. The nursery has an onsite chef who cooks fresh food every day with the allergies instruction for each child. The management is very friendly and easily approachable with any questions and queries, big and small. Huge thanks to the nursery manager and all staff who keeps the nursery a great place for our children to be happy, safe, well developed and loved!

Picking a nursery during a pandemic when you can't even look around is quite challenging. I had heard excellent reviews of Eddington and knew the manager had achieved good Ofsted reports in the past. When I called up I was immediately put at ease. My son started and was clearly one of the youngest but his key worker was and is fantastic, he gets excited to see her every morning and I know picking Eddington was right for him and me.
10 May 2021
Our daughter joined Bright Horizons Eddington in 2021, and so far, we have had a very positive experience overall. The facilities are excellent, and the nursery staff have been very welcoming, helping our daughter to settle in record time (within a couple of days). Despite the COVID-19 limitations, during the last few months, the managers have been clearly communicating with us via weekly emails, our daughter's key person provided regular developmental updates and was available for discussion whenever we needed. During winter, we were very impressed by the strict infection prevention protocols. Recently, more work was done to connect parents from children within the same room, via WhatsApp groups, which is really helpful to get to know other families. One of the challenges for this nursery is the long community waiting list, and we hope that in the future they will be able to accommodate more families settling within Eddington/close to the nursery.

My daughter likes going to this nursery very much. She loves her teachers and friends. It is obvious that they took good care of her and they create a wonderful environment for her to learn and thrive.
21 April 2021
Superb nursery led by competent knowledgeable and friendly managers. Good provision of vegan options specially prepared by an in house chef. The staff put a lot of effort into planning activities for the kids and communicating with parents. My son enjoys going to nursery each day and we have lovely discussions about his day in the evenings. I particularly enjoy the photos and notes that are sometimes sent home. Helps me to feel included.

Our two children have been very settled from the very first day. They have bonded well with the staff, who always seem genuinely enthusiastic about their development and happiness. We trust them to do everything for our children (and the others at nursery, too) and always know that they will have a fantastic time. Any queries have always been dealt with efficiently and communication has been excellent. They have coped wonderfully with the challenges of the pandemic and should be congratulated for their professionalism, hard work and kindness.
30 March 2021
My daughter is so happy at the nursery. She made many friends, her vocabulary has improved so much and she feels safe. Any parent is happy as long as their child is happy! The staff are helpful and communication is very good. The nursery has a good system in place for Covid-19 measures.
