University delegates from China recently visited Bright Horizons Southgate! The group that visited were a team practitioner teachers, and had just completed one week in Oxford hearing lectures and visiting schools to learn about the UK education system. Knowing that visiting a UK nursery was very important for the group’s learning and understanding of what Early Years Education looks like in the UK, they reached out and asked to visit. In their own words, "We couldn’t think of anyone better to showcase this than Bright Horizons!" The team at Southgate showed them around the nursery and spent time talking about our Bright Beginnings curriculum and our Nurture approach as well as spending some time in the rooms. We wish them a very safe journey back to China, it was fabulous to welcome them into one of our settings! #BrightHorizonsUK #YoureTheDifference #EarlyYearsEducators
