With Bright Horizons, you’re part of something much bigger than any single job role or title. As a global organisation, with almost 300 nurseries in the UK alone, we’re shaping the future of childcare, work, and family. We’re at the cutting-edge of early years learning and development. Our unique and innovative solutions are creating positive change for families as we support the parents of today and help to raise the parents of tomorrow.

I’ve had the pleasure of working in many Bright Horizons nurseries, and the culture has always been wellbeing first… the wellbeing of our Practitioners and our families and our children.

Have you ever worked for a company you’re proud to say you work for? I’ve always felt proud to say I work for Bright Horizons because of how amazing the team is, the partnerships we have with our parents, and the magical way in which our practitioners deliver their teaching to our children. Bright Horizons support their employees every step of the way to ensure that they are growing and excelling in their own personal development. The HEART Principles are extremely important to every single member of staff – we respect each other, always work honestly.

Deputy Manager

Culture

At Bright Horizons, the way we do things is just as important to us as the outcome itself. This is at the foundation of what sets us apart from others in our industry: a culture that places people – our colleagues, our clients, and those we care for and support – at the heart of everything we do. We want you to feel welcome and extend that welcome to your colleagues, children, their parents, and carers. Our open culture is vital to each person’s happiness, and to being outstanding at what we do.

Values

Our HEART principles are as relevant and vital to our business today as they have always been - Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect and Teamwork. They set a standard for the kind of company we want to be. They remind us all that whoever we are and whatever we do at Bright Horizons, we share a set of deeply held values. Perhaps most importantly, they help us make the right choices every day for each other and the people we support.
