Bright Horizons Nursery

[oggers]

Afternoon everyone,

Does anyone have experience of the nursery in Sainsbury's car park? My 18 month old has been offered a place there and, although we've been obviously visited and it seems okay, I'd be grateful for any first hand experiences.

Ta.

Baby Birdseye has been there since she was 10 months old (she's now 3) and loves it. We are very happy with it - the staff are great and really care about the children. They keep them busy all day with activities and although it's a play based nursery, they do try to encourage a bit of learning - colours, shapes, numbers, letters etc - along the way.

Highly recommended and from what I've heard, you are lucky to be offered a place!

I've no idea what its like but was surprised by its website. Its part of a MASSIVE chain. Not necessarily a bad thing - I was just surprised to see childcare as a big corporate thingy.

snap up that place!! I know lots of people who have used it/are using and are very happy.

I put my daughter on the waiting list when she was 6 months old - she's 9yrs now and we never got a place! I was never happy with our childcare arrangements - all the good childminders/nurseries were full when she was a baby/toddler - one of the reasons I gave up work when number 2 came along..
