Bright Horizons Springfield Lodge Dartford Day Nursery and Preschool

When we applied, our experience was that If you are planning to use only the government funded hours you are clearly not a priority for this nursery. We applied for our son to start in January a year before and after a long wait we called them several times just to be told the week before Christmas that our child will only be considered for 6 hours a week and and even that will be under review in the next term. They clearly managed us to put off and succeeded in their strategy to get children who will go for more hours than the government funded ones.

Both of my sons have attended this nursery and I can’t thank the staff here enough for the way they have brought both boys on. They both thoroughly love their nursery days and are always talking about their teachers and what activities they have been up to.
They have developed educationally and socially, my oldest is starting school in September and I have absolutely no worries about his transition to his new school because of the skills he has learnt through his time at this nursery.
I would definitely recommend this nursery and the staff, they are really nurturing and so obviously enjoy their work.

My eldest son has attended this nursery for over a year. It is a very pleasant place with lots of stimulation for the little ones. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at the nursery.

very happy with the care, quality of the nursery and experience. The staff make the nursery very welcoming and happy place to be in, both my children have attended the nursery over the last 10 years and have enjoyed every minute of the day being their.

Very supportive day nursery. They have been a major support system in helping my child with his additional needs and supporting me as a parent. Their childcare knowledge is outstanding. Their care and support has been invaluable.

My daughter and son attends the BH and I have never been happier with the help and support they give them. My son just started in March and he’s 21 month old. He has settled really well and loves to play in the garden. my daughter has been there almost 2 years and now in preschool. She loves the outdoor area, she gets home and talk about all the activities she’s done with her teachers. She loves them and she never get tired of going there. I love that the teachers supports the children in all areas and tell the parent about what they do day to day. I will strongly recommend. Amazing staff ❤️

My daughter has been attending Springfield Lodge foe 18 months. She made the transition from another Bright Horizons branch to this one when we moved house and the team made it very easy for us as parents to change her over but also made my daughter feel incredibly welcome to the point she barely needed a settling in period she was so happy to go in.

Recently my daughter has qualified for the 30h of funding and the nursery supported us with the required paperwork and were able to offer us an extra day too.

As I am a key worker myself my daughter has continued going to nursery in this most recent lockdown and the nursery have facilitated a day change in order to ensure my daughter is in childcare on my busiest days at work. This was hassle free and easy to arrange with the manager and making it so easy at such a difficult time has been greatly appreciated.

My daughter is very happy at nursery and jumps out of the car every day with a smile and waves me off which is amazing to see as a parent!

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 8 months old, when she joined we didn't know she would have several learning disabilities. The nursery have been amazing and have made many adaptions for her. She wouldn't be where she is today without the amazing support that she has received at the nursery. We will be sad to be leaving in September as she will be starting school. No doubt about it I would 1million percent recommend Bright Horizons Springfield Lodge to anyone.
