With eight nurseries in Cambridgeshire already, Bright Horizons is set to open another two new nurseries later this year: on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus on Francis Crick Avenue and Milton Road in Cambridge.

It’s clear Bright Horizons is on a roll in the region – and is looking to recruit individuals who would like to be part of making a difference to the children it cares for in a truly great place to work.

The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ list is created from employees’ feedback regarding their employer's efforts to remove barriers to women’s career advancement and create workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender, can flourish.

Bright Horizons is the highest ranked education provider on this year's list.

Ros Marshall, managing director international at Bright Horizons, said: “We are so proud that Bright Horizons continues to feature as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™, as it has done since this list first started in 2018.

"At Bright Horizons, we have woven diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) into the very fabric of our organisational culture, creating a welcoming and inclusive community for all.”
