Our son has been at Bright Start for 8 months and he has had the most wonderful experience. The staff are fantastic - we could not have asked for a nicer, more caring, passionate group of people. The activities which are set up for the children are excellent, and you can see a lot of time, thought and effort goes into everything they do. Thank you all!

Thank you to all the staff at Bright Start for being the best nursery in Stanmore. If anyone is questioning about putting their child at Bright start, please don’t, you won’t have any regrets. Ever since my daughter started here she has loved every single minute and never had any issues settling in. From her key worker to all the staff, she has formed a special connection with them all, which I’m sure she’ll never forget. She knows all the staff by their names and always tells me about her day with a big smile on her face. She truly loves nursery and I never thought she would settle in as well as she did, especially with being at home surrounded with her family 24/7 due to covid. However, she’s absolutely loves her time there and I know she’ll be sad to leave ALL her teachers. I’m so glad she got to start her learning journey with you, she has learnt so much in the year she has been there. She’s always been independent but coming to nursery she has learnt how to put her own coat on, her shoes, eat lots more fruit and veg, the list could go on. She loves doing French and football too. Also what I love most about this nursery, which I never experienced at other nursery’s, was the unique stuff they do to creates memories for the parents and that’s really special. My favourite one being the Christmas bauble keepsake with a ribbon of how tall my daughter was at Christmas time. Also the mother/father days tea parties and little gifts they made for the parents. They really do go the extra mile and these are the memories I will treasure and never forget, because I don’t know of any other nursery that does that. It’s the little things that count. My daughter is moving on to her next learning journey in September and thanks to you all I know she will strive to be the best she can. It’s true what they say “ it’s takes a big heart to shape little minds” and you certainly all have huge hearts with lots of love to give. You should be all proud of yourselves and the team you have at Bright Start. Thank you so much for looking after my daughter they way you have. I only wish I’d have known about you earlier so my boys could have come here too. I highly recommend this nursery and will always have nothing but positive things to say about the place that helped my little girl grow and become part of her story. Thank you.

To the dedicated staff of Bright Start Nursery,
As a parent, one of the greatest challenges is entrusting the care of your children to others. When we first brought our eldest son to your nursery over nine years ago, we were filled with apprehension but those fears were quickly put to rest. Over the course of the past decade, our two boys have had the privilege to grow and learn within the vibrant, nurturing environment of your nursery.
Your nursery's bright, cheerful ambiance was immediately inviting. It was filled with laughter, curiosity, and warmth – a true testament to the atmosphere of joy that you've fostered. This welcoming environment is undoubtedly a direct result of your dedicated, professional, and caring staff. All your regular app updates were a great way for us to see how our boys were enjoying some tasks.
What struck us most was the happiness that radiated from our boys after each day at your nursery. This positivity was more than we could ever ask for and confirmed, time and again, that we had made the right choice.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude for providing our sons with a safe, enjoyable, and enriching early childhood experience. The transition from home to school can be overwhelming for both children and parents alike, but your team has made this journey seamless and enjoyable for our second boy now who is about to leave the nursery soon.
The memories, friendships, and learning experiences that our boys have gained at BrightStart will undoubtedly stay with them for the rest of their lives. Your nursery has been a cornerstone in our family's life for the past decade, and while it is time for us to move forward, we will always look back on this time with immense gratitude. Thank you and keep up the great work!

I want to start with big thank you to all of you as a team for being amazing to the limit that I don’t think can be better. As a mother you want your child to be in a great place, with great people but most importantly to be safe and that is exactly how I felt for all the time my little boy was with you. The time and love you invest is and will be forever appreciated from me. After visiting several nurseries to register my son, I came across your place and the moment I walked in, I new that is was the right one for him, mother's instinct is never wrong. I did feel he is at home with family, just how I wanted him to be. In everything we sometimes have a name to say it was better than others but there I can’t pick one person but I choose you as a team to be the best and I hope success and great days are ahead of you all. Children who are with you guys and those who will come in the future, how lucky you are. I can only say god bless you all. I did get to meet you at September last year for the first time and you all will be part of our memories forever. My Mason talk’s about you all the time.
To the team of Bright Start Nursery Stanmore thank you ππππforever.

I could not recommend this nursery highly enough! They have been incredible, my daughter and son both attend and they absolutely love it. The nursery is small and feels like a home from home, the care given by the team is second to none, both my children have formed strong relationships with the staff and they love going! They are encouraged to be independent, caring and kind as well as pushing them academically. One thing they also do which is rare, is understand how you feel as a parent. I am able to call and see if the children have settled, they will call me to put my mind at rest if they take a trip out (yes, I am one of those parents!) but I am never made to feel like I am being a pain! My daughter is off to school in September and she is more than ready thanks to the amazing team at Bright Start!

I am so glad we found Bright Start – each and every staff is brilliant, caring and a great support to my kids. The reassurance and support that I got from Day 1 has been excellent. One of the best thing about this nursery, unlike many others, is their flexibility and their willingness to always accommodate your needs. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind, in leaving our kids in such capable hands. Highly Recommended!

Thank you from the bottom of our heart for all the hard work, love & dedication in creating an amazing nursery experience. There’s always a high ratio of fully qualified nursery staff to children & each day different activities are structured and organised with a lot of thought and care for our child's development.
We have always found staff to be very communicative and supportive at each stage of our son's development. My son feels like it’s his second home and combined with the fact that the staff are so nurturing and supportive means we couldn’t wish for a better caring and positive place.
I would highly recommend Bright Start to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for him

It’s been over 3yrs now my daughter has been at the Bright Start, how much has she learnt, developed, made friends who she wants to be with at her next stage of school. Bright Start has done very well throughout the Pandemic period and even now with everything opened up – parents are kept well informed with updated messages.
All staff take pride in the nursery making sure every child’s development is brought up to their level. They are all very caring and it's apparent to see how loving and patient they are with the children. My daughter is happy with everyone.
I've been very happy with Bright Start and cannot recommend it enough.

Both my children attended Bright Start Day Nursery. I moved my older son from another local nursery as I felt that his old nursery had so many staff and no one really was able to tell me about his day. What a contrast Bright Start was. This nursery is completely different and the staff got to know my son straight away. Even staff who were not his key worker could give me the small details of his day that made me feel like his presence was one of a community. He was part of the Bright Start family.
My daughter joined at a younger age and became part of the baby room. It is always difficult leaving children for the first time but the settling in period and connection with the key worker supported her transition so well.
Both my children have grown and flourished in this happy and purposeful environment with staff and managers who care deeply for the children. Now that my youngest leaves to go to school, I reflect on this time with Bright Start as a place that gave my children an enjoyable start to learning as well as it being a reassuring time for us as parents knowing that we were leaving our children in good hands.
I thank all the staff at Bright Start for giving us all happy memories and I highly recommend Bright Start for any family looking for a nursery place for their child.

Our daughter Amy has been at Bright Start for almost three years and because is going to school this year we would like to say thank you to Bright Start Stanmore and all the members of staff.
The staff are incredible, always warm and friendly, accommodating & supportive, in our case especially with food and artificial colouring allergies.
The setting of the nursery is very good and the childrens are encouraged to be outside in the garden or playground, giving them much more confidence.
We would highly recommend Bright Start to anybody looking for a nursery in the Stanmore area.

Bright Start Day Care Stanmore has been a second home for my child. The teachers alongside his peers have helped him develop interpersonal skills, social skills as well as learning to speak English as a second language. Many thanks to all the teachers and staff who have had the patience and love, to nurture my child while he was attending this nursery, and make him feel safe and loved.
We will be always grateful for all you help.
Many thanks.

As new parents, one of our hardest days was leaving our daighter at daycare on her first day and watch her cry. though we're told we can stay with her as she gets used to the place, we decided not - just drop and go!
"Bright Start" - the name sats it all --> clean, tidy, healthy diet, good fun, educational activities for the children etc. Staff take pride in every child and is shown on a daily basis, what more do you need.
From day 1, we knew this was our daughters second home where she's safe and happy :)
Thank you to all staff for their hard work and patience!

We previously had both our children at a local nursery in Stanmore. We were disheartened by the constant crying before going into nursery with our youngest and dismayed by the negative reports about behaviour when picking him up. We were made to feel that our child was the problem and needed help. Sometimes you fall into the trap of thinking this is the best you’re going to get - until we were recommended Brightstart - and by heck were we wrong!
Since moving to Brightstart we’ve been encouraged by the engagement of staff, their enthusiasm and the positive impact it has had on our son. As opposed to the previous nursery which was purely service driven, (ie get bums in places and give them back at the end of the day), Brightstart actually take pride in the care that they give and this is shown on a daily basis.
Our son is a different boy in this setting. He’s happy, he’s helpful and he is growing. We are so glad we moved to Brightstart and would recommend it for a first time choice of childcare setting or for those that are in similar situations to the one we were in.

It has been an amazing journey for our daughter Nasha.
When she started the nursery she was very excited and happy to attend every day.She looked forward to meeting her friends and participating in the fun activities.
She was very close to her key worker Chloe and spoke very highly of her teachers.
She enjoyed going on the trip to Odds Farm, the exciting sports day at Stanmore College and short trips to Cannons Park during the summer breaks.
The graduation ceremony was very exquisite,as the students sported their lovey blue gowns.The friends and families were a very good mixture of trained professionals,which meant that the children were from very good backgrounds.
When Nasha left the nursery she was reading and writing fluently, thanks to the help of the loving staff from Bright Start Nursery.
Thank you all for your hard work and for making Nasha’s time there enjoyable.All the very best for the future.

Our daughter has been attending Bright Start for more than three years. From the start, we know that it was the right place for her. All of the staff are attentive, kind and interested and engaged in the welfare and development of the children.
Our daughter has thrived in the setting and it is clear she loves going to nursery. She has developed confidence and made great friends, even at such a young age.
The staff always respond promptly to feedback given which has been great, plus we couldn't be happier with the care and early years education provided by Jackie, Shrina and the whole team.
We love how all the children play with each other and look after each other. Also how the staff genuinely seem to care about the children. Megan has been a great key person. We've been happy with the way Evangeline has developed whilst at Bright Start.

My little one started at Bright start Nursery Stanmore in October 2016 to present, we are very happy with the nursery & later this year my daughter will be attending. The staff are caring, kind, well lead and very affectionate/accommodating to the children’s individual’s needs. The nursery is clean and tidy and they look in detail to promoting a healthy diet, good meals and a wide range of activities for the children. They celebrate all auspicious occasions from Christmas to Diwali so the children can learn about different culture. I especially like that parents are kept informed about their children’s progress and what they will be doing from their learning log, parents evening, planning and each child has their own key person, who I am especially happy with; Chloe, and the other staff have a very good repour with my son and he loves going to nursery to see his teachers and friends, it feels like going from home to home and I know he is safe & happy …..Keep up the good work ladies!

Tiana has been at nursery for 4 months. All the staff have made myself and Tiana feel very comfortable and welcome. Claudia has been very accommodating to meet our needs in relation to booking days and sessions.
Tiana loves all the staff. the nursery team are all very close and all of them including the manager plays with the children and welcomes the children on arrival. It's a very warm and homely feel here. We love Bright Start Nursery.

My son Jelani started at the nursery in 2016 just after he had turned 2. Immediately there was an improvement in his speech and interaction with others changed due to his interactions in nursery.
I am happy with the way the teachers interact with my son. They have a personal interest in his development which is very good for him.
The nursery has a very health and safety conscious environment for the children which is very good. The children are encouraged to be independent which is also very good. Jelani has learnt to dress and undress, re: his outer clothing, shoes. Jelani has also learnt responsibility on where to put everything ie. everything has a place that it should go. All this is from his experience at nursery.
I am happy that at this Nursery, Jelani has learnt his basic arithmatic and alphabets and is able to write and recognise his name as opposite to only being able to identify himself by a picture when he started.
Thank you.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough, the staff are fantastic.
I am glad to have left my baby every single day without any concerns being a full time working parent. They really do love the kids, which is why my toddler has a happy day here. I had no idea he would learn so much, he is always singing different rhymes, counting and painting. I am amazed at the amount of different activities they have during the week to keep the children busy. They stick to the the planned agenda, the play areas are kept neat and tidy. They encourage outdoor and indoor activities.
I would highly recommend Bright Start to other parents.
A big thanks to Claudia, Shrina, Megan, Yvette, Amy, Chloe, Grace & Davina.

My Daughter joined Bright Start day Care in Stanmore October last year. She settled in very quickly and I can see that she enjoys being there. The staff are attentive, friendly and all show they take pride in their roles in the nursery. The nursery is safe and the indoor and outdoor facilities are a great place for the children to learn and have fun.
One aspect of the nursery that I do like is that your child’s progress is tracked in a book designed by their key worker. This book has all their targets and pictures of them, so that you are able to see what they have learnt and achieved at nursery.
I highly recommend this nursery and assure you that their key person and the manager will take good care of them.

My twins have been there since last April (2017)and enjoy it a lot there. Staff there are great, they look after the kids well and listen to any concerns we may have, and give great advice for things going on at home. They are very confident and caring about their abilities, and the girls there are constantly improving things and finding great activities for the kids to do. I highly recommend this nursery for any parent looking for day care for their little one..

My daughter attended Bright start day care Stanmore for the past 7 months. She thoroughly enjoyed her time there. They were very helpful and encouraging as she initially settled in to the nursery. She build a great connection with her key worker Megan as well as the rest of the team.
They have daily diaries online which is easy to access and regular pictures taken during the week. They are very approachable and professional and I would highly recommend Bright Start Day care Stanmore!

My son has been attending the Bright Start Day Care Stanmore for nearly six months and I’m very pleased with the service so far. The place is clean, has a friendly ambience and provides a safe environment for the children to play in. It is situated away from a busy road and has a yard with colourfully decorated walls, which gives the place an inviting character. The marquee that is set up in the yard provides an opportunity for the children to play outside, whatever the weather. I particularly like the positive and can-do attitude of the team. The staff are very friendly and have established a good relationship with both my son and myself as a parent. The nursery is very effective at communicating with the parents through various media. It also encourages parents to be actively involved in children’s development through weekly feedback forms and participation in special events. Pre-planned activities are definitely a forte, with emphasis on children’s individual needs and abilities. All in all, I appreciate the effort put into maintaining high standards and the focus on children’s well-being and development.

Bright Start day Care in Stanmore is a home from home for my son and he has developed exponentially since he joined. The staff there are so full of fun and energy, and they really love their jobs and the children they care for. There has been virtually no staff turnover (like I've experienced at other nurseries) and the fees are also the most competitive in the area. There is a regular encouragement for both indoor and outdoor play with great facilities, which really helps as all the age groups need fresh air all year round.
They have provided a fun, safe and caring environment where my son has gained so much confidence - socially, emotionally, and academically. He loves the staff there so much and the peace of mind that brings is invaluable, meaning I can work without ever worrying about how he's getting on. I can not praise the place enough and highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for day care.
