What parents say

We’ve used BH Irvine’s backup service around 7 or 8 times now and have always had a great experience. Small class rooms and attentive providers. If you download their app, you’ll get live updates and pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!

I requested sitter service through Bright Horizon Back-Up Care Program via my company, so I can work while someone can watch my child when the school is closed during holiday. They cancelled my reservation 1 and 1/2 hours before my scheduled shift. There was no apology or alternative sitter offered. I had to scramble to find a sitter last minute on my own.

Heather was so amazing and kind! I had 2 children that it was their first time in daycare and from the person at the front desk to the teachers in the classrooms they were just exceptional! They send a report at the end of each day with pictures and videos to show you what your children did throughout the day. Absolutely would have kept my kids in this school if I could've.

“Lost” reservations, last minute cancellations, no shows, and typically late sitters. They seem to make little to no effort finding another sitter when no one shows up for your reservation. This has happened now 5 times. We wait on hold for quite some time before we can speak to one of the less than helpful representatives. It really screws up your day.
