Feedback on Bright Horizons at Bayer

I'm looking for parents' thoughts and experiences regarding Bright Horizons at Bayer in Berkeley. I'm considering sending my daughter there and it seems like a great facility with lots of happy kids. We're looking for something fairly structured for her and I imagine since this is a nationwide operation they follow a regular set of rules. I'm just curious if the "chain" aspect of it makes it somehow impersonal, or if it all depends on the teachers just like anywhere else. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone can provide.

Hey! We've been parents of two kids - aged 5 and 2 currently - at BH for about 3 years. We've been super happy with them overall and would recommend them.

For a short while they had some trouble with turnover, as lots of child care places do, but it's seemed to improve greatly lately. I think it's a great place and does not feel corporate or impersonal at all.

Hope this helps!

Hi! I'm glad you asked this question. We're thinking about sending our 3 year old son there too, starting in January. I don't have any experience with this Bright Horizons, but we did send all of our kids to a Bright Horizons in a different state. We had great experiences there, and really liked the structure they provided.
