What do Mumsnet users think?

Staff are friendly, attentive and caring and my daughter absolutely loves it there. I have been really happy with the attention and guidance she has received while also being given the freedom to explore and learn on her own. The atmosphere is happy and the team are hands-on and helpful. Having looked at different nurseries, I couldn't be happier we chose Bright Horizons.

I've got a three-and-a-half-year-old son at Bright Horizons and I highly recommend it. He gets plenty of attention and stimulus. He's also formed strong attachments to his teachers and the other children.

My daughter goes to a Bright Horizons nursery. She is very happy there and the staff are brilliant. They are very active in planning the curriculum etc as well as encouraging child-orientated development.

My son is at a Bright Horizons nursery in Sutton which is great. He loves it there and they seem a well-organised company.
