Testimonials

…we’re awed by all that we (Bright Beginnings working with us) have achieved in the last 2+ years. My son came to your care as a little toddler with special needs but he will be leaving as a confident, sociable and a very happy boy. He loves his nursery time, singing and cuddles. Bright Beginnings has demonstrated a rare and unique willingness to go the extra mile in getting needs met and we are thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Bright Beginnings, which is an excellent school setting. Thanks!

The keyworkers are really great at guiding the kids and they’re also extremely professional – they do an amazing job and I just wanted you to know (from a parent’s point of view) just how good I think they are. They’ve always been there for me when I’ve had questions to ask (including the reception staff and Herjinder), and I’m really grateful that they’ve looked after my daughter so well – I have always felt I was leaving her in a caring and safe place – and that’s a great achievement for a nursery to make a parent feel this way!

Words will never be enough. We was always so worried about leaving our son with anyone, but we couldn’t have left him in safer sets of hands. Your care is second to none, your passion for fantastic childcare is so evident and we felt part of a big, beautiful family. How you have carried on providing a truly outstanding service throughout and after COVID has been inspiring, and watching our little baby flourish into a big, bold boy under your guidance has been so reassuring. Each and every person involved in the running of the nursery should be rightly proud of the amazing impact you have on children’s lives.

Emma and ChrisThank you!!!

Both rooms accommodate 24 children each aged between 3 –24 months. The adult-child ratio is 1:3. Both areas operate a ‘free flow’ environment, where children are given the opportunity to move around the room, accessing individual learning areas, including a covered balcony and natural garden outdoors.
