Bright Horizons Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool

Hi Amy, Sure. My son Yazan went to pre school at Asquith Spring Lane Day Nursery. We were just arriving to the UK, and my son didn’t know any English at all. His teacher Clair was fantastic. Patient, aspiring and very professional. He spoke his first full sentence in English four months later, which was amazing !! I was really happy, every mum could’ve imagined how I felt each day leaving him knowing that if he even wants to go to the toilet, he might not be able to say it. Yet, in no time he felt happy, proud and cheerful. Thank you Clair, Yazan is now at class 2. However, you are still his favourite teacher. I hope you read this one day :) All the staff were brilliant, the nursery is super clean and well organised. Yazan loves the play area and all the activities. I highly recommend it. Thank you 😊 you left a very happy memories, we’ll take back with us when we return home.

I would like to say that I am very happy with how the staff in the baby room take care of my baby girl. The staff and management are friendly and take the time to listen to a parents needs or concerns. My daughter is developing well and really enjoys going to nursery. Thank you to you all so much.

Both of my children have attended this nursery, my daughter back when it was Asquith and now my son attends Bright Horizons. Both started as babies, with my daughter going through to preschool (my son is now in toddlers). I’ve had an excellent experience in the main. The staff have mainly been fantastic with standout care from Lisa, Jane, Claire, Anita and Tara (to name a few). The facilities are clean and well maintained, with the garden area previously needing some attention but lately looking much smarter. Another notable positive is that now nappies, wipes, formula, barrier cream and sun cream is provided by the nursery (previously they had to be supplied by parents). My biggest gripe is the huge increase in fees over the last few years. I now pay over £150 a month more than I did for the same number of sessions when my daughter attended. This is in the region of a 25% increase which seems too high. I might be being cynical but it seems that the discount we now receive through the tax free childcare scheme has perhaps been used as a mechanism to increase fees so much. In summary I have been very happy with the quality of care my children have received (in the main) and whilst the costs are difficult to manage at times, my kids have both loved it so much there that feels like it is worth it.
