 Exhibit 10.1 

BRIGHT HORIZONS FAMILY SOLUTIONS INC. 

2012 OMNIBUS LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED 

EFFECTIVE AS OF MAY 29, 2019 
 1.
DEFINED TERMS 
 Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets forth certain
operational rules related to those terms. 
 2. PURPOSE 

The Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company by providing for the grant to Participants of Stock-based and other
incentive Awards. The Plan was originally effective on the Original Effective Date, was amended effective as of June 1, 2017, and is hereby amended and restated effective as of the Restatement Effective Date. Changes made pursuant to this
amendment and restatement shall only apply to Awards granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date. Awards granted prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall continue to be governed by the applicable Award agreements and the terms of the
Plan without giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this amendment and restatement, and the Administrator shall administer such Awards in accordance with the Plan without giving effect to changes made pursuant to this amendment and
restatement. 
 3. ADMINISTRATION 
 The
Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant Awards; determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award; determine the form of
settlement of Awards (whether in cash, shares of Stock, or other property); prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the Plan and Awards; and otherwise do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Determinations of the Administrator made under the Plan will be conclusive and will bind all parties. 
 4. LIMITS ON AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN 

(a) Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(b), the maximum number of
shares of Stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Restatement Effective Date is two million nine hundred forty thousand and eighty-two (2,940,082), which is
the sum of (i) two million three hundred fifty thousand (2,350,000) shares of Stock, plus (ii) five hundred ninety thousand and eighty-two (590,082) shares of Stock, which is the number of shares of
Stock that remained available for Awards under the Plan as of April 4, 2019. The number of shares under subsection (ii) above shall be reduced by the number of shares subject to Awards that are granted under the Plan after April 4,
2019 and before the Restatement Effective Date, if any. In addition, the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan prior to April 4, 2019 that expire, become unexercisable, terminate or are forfeited to or
repurchased by the Company without having been exercised, vested, or paid in full on or after April 4, 2019 (not exceeding two million nine hundred thirty-one thousand one hundred and sixty-two (2,931,162) shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(b)) may be delivered in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Restatement Effective Date. The share reserve
represents an increase of two million three hundred fifty thousand (2,350,000) shares of Stock under this amendment and restatement. Up to two million nine hundred forty thousand and eighty-two (2,940,082)
shares may be issued in satisfaction of ISOs, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(b), but nothing in this Section 4(a) will be construed as requiring that any, or any fixed number of, ISOs be awarded under the Plan. For purposes
of this Section 4(a), the number of shares of Stock delivered in satisfaction of Awards will be determined (i) by including shares of Stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price or purchase price of the Award or in
satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to the Award, (ii) by including the full number of shares covered by a SAR any portion of which is settled in Stock (and not only the number of shares of Stock delivered in settlement),
(iii) by excluding any shares of Stock underlying Awards settled in cash, and (iv) by 

  
 1 

 
excluding any shares of Stock underlying Awards that expire, become unexercisable, terminate or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company without having been exercised, vested, or paid in
full, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan will not be increased by any shares of Stock delivered under the Plan that are subsequently purchased on the open market using
proceeds directly attributable to Stock Option exercises. To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 and other applicable requirements (including applicable stock exchange requirements), Stock issued under Substitute Awards
shall not reduce the number of shares available for Awards under the Plan. The shares which may be delivered under Substitute Awards shall be in addition to the limitations set forth in this Section 4(a) on the number of shares available for
issuance under the Plan, and such Substitute Awards shall not be subject to the per-Participant Award limits described in Section 4(c) below. 

(b) Type of Shares. Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock
or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company. 
 (c) Individual Limits. The following
additional limits will apply to Awards of the specified type granted to any person in any calendar year, subject to adjustment as described in Section 7(b): 

(1) Stock Options: five-hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Stock. 

(2) SARs: five-hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Stock. 

(3) Awards other than Stock Options or SARs: two-hundred and fifty thousand
(250,000) shares of Stock. 
 In applying the foregoing limits, (i) all Awards of the specified type granted to the same person in the
same calendar year will be aggregated and made subject to one limit; (ii) the limits applicable to Stock Options and SARs refer to the number of shares of Stock subject to those Awards; (iii) the share limit under clause (3) refers to
the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered, under an Award or Awards of the type specified in clause (3) assuming a maximum payout; and (iv) all Awards, other than Awards that are settled in cash, count against the
applicable share limit under clause (1), (2) or (3). 
 (d) Non-Employee
Director Limits. Notwithstanding the limits in subsection (c) above, the maximum grant date fair value of Awards granted to any non-Employee director of the Board in any calendar year,
calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (or any successor provision), assuming a maximum payout, plus cash retainers and other cash fees paid to any non-Employee director of the Board in such calendar year,
may not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). 
 5. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 

The Administrator will select Participants from among key Employees and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company and its
Affiliates. Eligibility for ISOs is limited to individuals described in the first sentence of this Section 5 who are employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company as those
terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code. Eligibility for Stock Options, other than ISOs, and SARs is limited to individuals described in the first sentence of this Section 5 who are providing direct services on the date of grant of
the Award to the Company or to a subsidiary of the Company that would be described in the first sentence of Treas. Regs. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E). 

6. RULES APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
 (a)
All Awards. 
 (1) Award Provisions. The Administrator will determine the terms of all
Awards, subject to the limitations provided herein. By accepting (or, under such rules as the Administrator may prescribe, being deemed to have accepted) an Award, the Participant will be deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Award and the Plan.

  
 2 

 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, Substitute Awards may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein, as determined
by the Administrator. No term of an Award shall provide for automatic “reload” grants of additional Awards upon exercise of an Option or SAR or otherwise as a term of an Award. 

(2) Term of Plan. No Awards may be made after ten (10) years from the Restatement Effective Date, but
previously granted Awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with their terms. 
 (3)
Transferability. Neither ISOs nor, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides in accordance with the third sentence of this Section 6(a)(3), other Awards, may be transferred other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. During a Participant’s lifetime, ISOs (and, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides in accordance with the third sentence of this Section 6(a)(3), SARs and NSOs) may be exercised only by the
Participant. The Administrator may permit the gratuitous transfer (i.e., transfer not for value) of Awards other than ISOs to any transferee eligible to be covered by the provisions of Form S-8 (under the
Securities Act), subject to such limitations as the Administrator may impose. 
 (4) Vesting, etc. The
Administrator will determine the time or times at which an Award will vest or become exercisable and the terms on which a Stock Option or SAR will remain exercisable. Awards granted under the Plan shall include vesting schedules under which no
portion of an Award shall vest earlier than one year from the date of grant; provided however that, subject to any adjustments made in accordance with Section 7(b) below, up to five percent (5%) of shares of Stock subject to the maximum share
limit set forth in Section 4(b) as of the Restatement Effective Date may be granted without regard to this minimum vesting requirement. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any
adverse or potentially adverse tax or other consequences resulting from such acceleration. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, however, the following rules will apply if a Participant’s Employment ceases: 

(A) Immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment and except as provided in (B), (C),
(D) or (E) below, each Stock Option and SAR that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate and all other Awards that are then held by the
Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited. 

(B) Subject to (C), (D) and (E) below, all Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant or the
Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of sixty (60) days or
(ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate. 

(C) All Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if
any, immediately prior to the Participant’s cessation of Employment by reason of death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one (1) year period ending with the first anniversary of the
Participant’s death or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate. 

(D) All Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if
any, immediately prior to the Participant’s cessation of Employment by reason of Disability, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, or (ii) the
period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate. 

  
 3 

 (E) All Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or
the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Participant’s cessation of Employment by reason of Retirement, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of ninety
(90) days, or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate. 

(F) All Stock Options and SARs (whether or not exercisable) held by a Participant or the Participant’s
permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment will immediately terminate upon such cessation of Employment if the termination is for Cause or occurs in circumstances that in the sole
determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause. 

(5) Additional Restrictions. The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit
or restrict any Award at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Award agreement and the Plan, or if the Participant breaches any agreement with the Company or its Affiliates with respect to non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may recover Awards made under the Plan and payments
under or gain in respect of any Award to the extent required to comply with (i) Section 10D of the Exchange Act, or any stock exchange or similar rule adopted under said Section or (ii) any applicable Company clawback or recoupment
policy as in effect from time to time. Each Participant, by accepting or being deemed to have accepted an Award under the Plan, agrees to cooperate fully with the Administrator, and to cause any and all permitted transferees of the Participant to
cooperate fully with the Administrator, to effectuate any forfeiture or disgorgement required hereunder. Neither the Administrator nor the Company nor any other person, other than the Participant and his or her permitted transferees, if any, will be
responsible for any adverse tax or other consequences to a Participant or his or her permitted transferees, if any, that may arise in connection with this Section 6(a)(5). 

(6) Taxes. The delivery, vesting and retention of Stock, cash or other property under an Award are
conditioned upon full satisfaction by the Participant of all tax withholding requirements with respect to the Award. The Administrator will prescribe such rules for the withholding of taxes as it deems advisable. The Administrator may, but need not,
hold back shares of Stock from an Award or permit a Participant to tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements (but not in excess of the maximum withholding amount consistent with the Award being subject
to equity accounting treatment under FASB ASC 718 (or any successor provision)). 
 (7) Dividends, Dividend Equivalents,
Etc. The Administrator may provide for the payment of amounts (on terms and subject to conditions established by the Administrator) in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to Stock subject to an
Award whether or not the holder of such Award is otherwise entitled to share in the actual dividend or distribution in respect of such Award; provided, however, that (a) dividends or dividend equivalents relating to an Award that,
at the dividend payment date, remain subject to a risk of forfeiture (whether service-based or performance-based) shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture as applies to the underlying Award and shall only be paid to the extent the underlying
Award vests and is paid and (b) no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or SARs. Any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements will be established and administered either consistent with
an exemption from, or in compliance with, the requirements of Section 409A. Dividends or dividend equivalent amounts payable in respect of Awards that are subject to restrictions may be subject to such additional limitations or restrictions as
the Administrator may impose. 
 (8) Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as
giving any person the right to be granted an Award or to continued employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates, or any rights as a stockholder except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan. The loss of existing or
potential profit in Awards will not 

  
 4 

 
constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or any Affiliate to the
Participant. 
 (9) Coordination with Other Plans. Awards under the Plan may be granted in
tandem with, or in satisfaction of or substitution for, other Awards under the Plan or awards made under other compensatory plans or programs of the Company or its Affiliates. For example, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, awards
under other compensatory plans or programs of the Company or its Affiliates may be settled in Stock (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Stock) if the Administrator so determines, in which case the shares delivered will be treated as awarded
under the Plan (and will reduce the number of shares thereafter available under the Plan in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 4). 

(10) Section 409A. 

(A) Each Award will contain such terms as the Administrator determines, and will be construed and
administered such that the Award either qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A or satisfies such requirements. 

(B) Notwithstanding Section 9 of this Plan or any other provision of this Plan or any Award agreement
to the contrary, the Administrator may unilaterally amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any outstanding Award, including but not limited to changing the form of the Award, if the Administrator determines that such amendment, modification or
termination is necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A. 

(C) If a Participant is deemed on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment to be a
“specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then, with regard to any payment that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable, payable on
account of a “separation from service”, such payment will be made or provided on the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such
“separation from service” and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 6(a)(10)(C) (whether they
would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) will be paid on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period in a lump sum and any remaining payments due under the Award
will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them in the applicable Award agreement. 

(D) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Plan will be treated as a separate
payment. 
 (E) With regard to any payment considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation under
Section 409A, to the extent applicable, that is payable upon a change in control of the Company or other similar event (including a Covered Transaction), if necessary to avoid the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty under
Section 409A, no amount will be payable unless such change in control constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations. 

(11) Fair Market Value. In determining the fair market value of any share of Stock under the
Plan, the Administrator will make the determination in good faith consistent with the rules of Section 422 and Section 409A to the extent applicable. 

(b) Stock Options and SARs. 

(1) Time And Manner Of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, no Stock
Option or SAR will be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form 

  
 5 

 
acceptable to the Administrator), which may be an electronic notice, signed (including electronic signature in form acceptable to the Administrator) by the appropriate person and accompanied by
any payment required under the Award. A Stock Option or SAR exercised by any person other than the Participant will not be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator has received such evidence as it may require that the person exercising
the Award has the right to do so. 
 (2) Exercise Price. The exercise price (or the base value from
which appreciation is to be measured) of each Award requiring exercise (other than a Substitute Award) will be no less than 100% (or in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder within the
meaning of subsection (b)(6) of Section 422, 110%) of the fair market value of the Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. 

(3) Payment Of Exercise Price. Where the exercise of an Award is to be accompanied by payment, payment
of the exercise price will be by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or by such other legally permissible means, if any, as may be acceptable to the Administrator, including, without limitation, (i) through the delivery of previously
acquired unrestricted shares of Stock, or the withholding of unrestricted shares of Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise, in either case that have a fair market value equal to the exercise price, (ii) through a broker-assisted exercise
program acceptable to the Administrator, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment. The delivery of previously acquired shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (i) above may be accomplished
either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of ownership, subject to such rules as the Administrator may prescribe. 

(4) Maximum Term. Stock Options and SARs will have a maximum term not to exceed ten (10) years
from the date of grant (or five (5) years from the date of grant in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder described in Section 6(b)(2) above. 

(5) No Repricing. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company
(which term includes, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination or exchange of shares) or as otherwise contemplated by Section 7 below, the Company may not, without obtaining stockholder approval, (A) amend the terms of outstanding Stock
Options or SARs to reduce the exercise price or base value of such Stock Options or SARs, (B) cancel outstanding Stock Options or SARs in exchange for Stock Options or SARs with an exercise price or base value that is less than the exercise
price or base value of the original Stock Options or SARs, or (C) cancel outstanding Stock Options or SARs that have an exercise price or base value greater than the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of such cancellation in
exchange for cash, another Award or other consideration. 
 7. EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 

(a) Mergers, etc. Except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, the following provisions will
apply in the event of a Covered Transaction: 
 (1) Assumption or Substitution. If the Covered
Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may (but, for the avoidance of doubt, need not) provide (i) for the assumption or continuation of some or all outstanding Awards or any portion thereof or
(ii) for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquirer or survivor or an affiliate of the acquirer or survivor. 

(2) Cash-Out of Awards. Subject to Section 7(a)(5) below
the Administrator may (but, for the avoidance of doubt, need not) provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Awards or any portion thereof, equal in the case of each affected
Award or portion thereof to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one share of Stock (as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award or such portion, over
(B) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if any, under the Award or such portion (in the case of a SAR, the aggregate base value above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the
terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, 

  
 6 

 
and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator determines; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the exercise or purchase price (or base value) of an Award is equal to or
greater than the fair market value of one share of Stock, the Award may be cancelled with no payment due hereunder or otherwise in respect of such Award. 

(3) Acceleration of Certain Awards. Subject to Section 7(a)(5) below, the Administrator may (but,
for the avoidance of doubt, need not) provide that any Award requiring exercise will become exercisable, in full or in part, and/or that the delivery of any shares of Stock remaining deliverable under any outstanding Award of Stock Units (including
Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards to the extent consisting of Stock Units) will be accelerated in full or in part, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Administrator,
following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a stockholder in the Covered Transaction. 

(4) Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction. Except as the Administrator may
otherwise determine in any case, each Award will automatically terminate (and in the case of outstanding shares of Restricted Stock, will automatically be forfeited) upon consummation of the Covered Transaction, other than any Award that is assumed
or substituted pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) above or otherwise continues after the Covered Transaction. 
 (5)
Additional Limitations. Any share of Stock and any cash or other property delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(2) or Section 7(a)(3) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator, contain
such restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject and that did not lapse (and were not satisfied) in connection with the Covered Transaction. For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a cash-out under Section 7(a)(2) above or acceleration under Section 7(a)(3) above will not, in and of itself, be treated as the lapsing (or
satisfaction) of a performance or other vesting condition. In the case of Restricted Stock that does not vest and is not forfeited in connection with the Covered Transaction, the Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or
otherwise paid in respect of such Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan. 

(b) Changes in and Distributions With Respect to Stock. 

(1) Basic Adjustment Provisions. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of
shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure that constitutes an equity restructuring within the meaning of FASB ASC 718 (or any successor provision), the Administrator will make
appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares specified in Section 4(a) that may be delivered under the Plan and to the maximum share limits described in Section 4(c), and will also make appropriate adjustments to the number and
kind of shares of stock or securities subject to Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise prices relating to Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by such change. 

(2) Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator may also make adjustments of the type described in
Section 7(b)(1) above to take into account distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 7(a) and 7(b)(1), or any other event, if the Administrator determines that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in
the operation of the Plan. 
 (3) Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the
Plan to shares of Stock will be construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7. 
 8. LEGAL
CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK 
 The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove any
restriction from shares of Stock previously delivered under the Plan until: (i) the Company is satisfied that all legal 

  
 7 

 
matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been addressed and resolved; (ii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of delivery listed on any stock exchange,
the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of issuance; and (iii) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or waived. The Company may require, as a condition to exercise
of the Award (or the delivery of shares of Stock under the Award), such representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state or non-U.S. securities law. Any Stock required to be issued to Participants under the Plan will be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or delivery of
stock certificates. In the event that the Administrator determines that Stock certificates will be issued to Participants under the Plan, the Administrator may require that certificates evidencing Stock issued under the Plan bear an appropriate
legend reflecting any restriction on transfer applicable to such Stock, and the Company may hold the certificates pending lapse of the applicable restrictions. 

9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 The
Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the Plan as to any future grants of Awards; provided, that except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan the Administrator may not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of an Award so as to affect materially and adversely the Participant’s rights under the Award, unless the Administrator expressly
reserved the right to do so at the time the Award was granted. Any amendments to the Plan will be conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by law (including the Code and applicable stock exchange
requirements), as determined by the Administrator. 
 10. OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS 

The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the Company’s right to award a person bonuses or other
compensation in addition to Awards under the Plan. 
 11. MISCELLANEOUS 

(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant waives any right to a
trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights under the Plan and any Award, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in
connection therewith, and agrees that any such action, proceeding or counterclaim will be tried before a court and not before a jury. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer, representative, or attorney of
the Company has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Company would not, in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, nothing herein is
to be construed as limiting the ability of the Company and a Participant to agree to submit disputes arising under the Plan or any Award to binding arbitration or as limiting the ability of the Company to require any eligible individual to agree to
submit such disputes to binding arbitration as a condition of receiving an Award. 
 (b) Limitation of
Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Company, nor any Affiliate, nor the Administrator, nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, any Affiliate, or the Administrator, will be liable
to any Participant or to the estate or beneficiary of any Participant or to any other holder of an Award by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax (including any interest and penalties), asserted by reason of the failure of an
Award to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code, or otherwise asserted with respect to the Award. 

12. ESTABLISHMENT OF SUB-PLANS 

The Administrator may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of
satisfying applicable blue sky, securities or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Administrator will establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan setting forth (i) such limitations on
the Administrator’s discretion 

  
 8 

 
under the Plan as it deems necessary or desirable and (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as it deems necessary or desirable. All supplements
so established will be deemed to be part of the Plan, but each supplement will apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction (as determined by the Administrator). 

13. GOVERNING LAW 
 (a)
Certain Requirements of Corporate Law. Awards will be granted and administered consistent with the requirements of applicable Delaware law relating to the issuance of stock and the consideration to be received therefor, and
with the applicable requirements of the stock exchanges or other trading systems on which the Stock is listed or entered for trading, in each case as determined by the Administrator. 

(b) Other Matters. Except as otherwise provided by the express terms of an Award agreement, under a sub-plan described in Section 12 or as provided in Section 13(a) above, the provisions of the Plan and Awards and all claims or disputes arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award or relating to
the subject matter hereof or thereof will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause
the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 (c) Jurisdiction. By
accepting an Award, each Participant will be deemed to (a) have submitted irrevocably and unconditionally to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award; (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Plan or an
Award, except in the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts; and (c) waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion as a defense or otherwise, in
any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it, he or she is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that his or her property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding

permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law; and (iii) to such Employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate. In the event of any delegation described in the preceding sentence, the term
“Administrator” will include the person or persons so delegated to the extent of such delegation. 

“Affiliate”: Any corporation or other entity that stands in a relationship to the Company that would result in the Company and
such corporation or other entity being treated as one employer under Section 414(b) and Section 414(c) of the Code. 

“Award”: Any or a combination of the following: 

(i) Stock Options. 
 (ii) SARs.

 (iii) Restricted Stock. 

(iv) Unrestricted Stock.

Stock Units, including Restricted Stock Units. 
 (vi) Performance Awards. 

(vii) Awards (other than Awards described in (i) through (vi) above) that are convertible into or otherwise based on Stock. 

“Board”: The Board of Directors of the Company. 

“Cause”: In the case of any Participant who is party to an employment or severance-benefit agreement that contains a
definition of “Cause,” the definition set forth in such agreement will apply with respect to such Participant under the Plan for so long as such agreement is in effect. In the case of any other Participant, “Cause”
will mean, as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable judgment, (i) a substantial failure of the Participant to perform the Participant’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or subsidiaries or substantial negligence in the
performance of such duties and responsibilities; (ii) the commission by the Participant of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) the commission by the Participant of theft, fraud, embezzlement, material breach of trust or
any material act of dishonesty involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) a significant violation by the Participant of the code of conduct of the Company or its subsidiaries of any material policy of the Company or its
subsidiaries, or of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or its subsidiaries; (v) material breach of any of the terms of the Plan or any Award made under the Plan, or of the terms of any other agreement between the Company
or subsidiaries and the Participant; or (vi) other conduct by the Participant that could be expected to be harmful to the business, interests or reputation of the Company. 

  
 10 

 “Code”: The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time
amended and in effect, or any successor statute as from time to time in effect. 
 “Compensation Committee”: The
Compensation Committee of the Board. 
 “Company”: Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. 

“Covered Transaction”: A Covered Transaction shall be deemed to take place if hereafter: 

(i) any Person (other than any Person which is a holder of Stock on the Restatement Effective Date or any direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then-outstanding securities; 
 (ii) individuals who, as of the Restatement Effective Date, constitute the Board (the
“Continuing Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; provided, however, that any director who is not in office on the Restatement Effective Date but whose election by the Board or whose nomination for
election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the Restatement Effective Date or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for purposes of the Plan; 
 (iii) the
consummation of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or to a holding company of which the Company is a direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary prior to such transaction; 
 (iv) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company, other than a
reorganization, merger or consolidation which would result in the combined voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately prior to the transaction continuing to represent (whether by remaining outstanding or by being converted
to voting securities of the surviving entity) 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities or the voting power of the voting securities of such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
transaction; or 
 (v) consummation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a “Covered Transaction” will not be deemed to have occurred solely
because of the acquisition of the securities of the Company (or any reporting requirement under the Exchange Act relating thereto) by an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company for its employees. 

“Disability”: In the case of any Participant who is a party to an employment or severance-benefit agreement that contains a
definition of “Disability,” the definition set forth in such agreement shall apply with respect to such Participant under the Plan for so long as such agreement is in effect. In the case of any other Participant,
“Disability” shall mean a disability that would entitle a Participant to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan in which the Participant participates. 

“Employee”: Any person who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate. 

“Employment”: A Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company and its Affiliates. Employment
will be deemed to continue, unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, so long as the Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a capacity described in Section 5 to the Company or an Affiliate. If a
Participant’s employment or other service relationship is with an Affiliate and that entity ceases to be an Affiliate, the Participant’s Employment will be deemed to have terminated when the entity ceases to be an

  
 11 

 
Affiliate unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the definition of “Affiliate” above, in
construing the provisions of any Award relating to the payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (subject to Section 409A) upon a termination or cessation of Employment, references to termination or cessation of employment,
separation from service, retirement or similar or correlative terms will be construed to require a “separation from service” (as that term is defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury
Regulations) from the Company and from all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any, that would be treated as a single “service recipient” with the Company under
Section 1.409A-1(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations. The Company may, but need not, elect in writing, subject to the applicable limitations under Section 409A, any of the special elective rules
prescribed in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations for purposes of determining whether a “separation from service” has occurred. Any such written election will be deemed a part of the
Plan. 
 “Exchange Act”: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

“ISO”: A Stock Option intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422. Each Stock
Option granted pursuant to the Plan will be treated as providing by its terms that it is to be an NSO unless, as of the date of grant, it is expressly designated as an ISO. 

“NSO”: A Stock Option that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422.

 “Original Effective Date”: January 11, 2013. 

“Participant”: A person who is granted an Award under the Plan. 

“Performance Award”: An Award subject to Performance Criteria. 

“Performance Criteria”: Specified criteria, other than the mere continuation of Employment or the mere passage of time, the
satisfaction of which is a condition for the grant, exercisability, vesting or full enjoyment of an Award. Such criteria may include, but shall not be limited to measures of performance relating to any or any combination of the following (measured
either absolutely or comparatively (including, without limitation, by reference to an index or indices or the performance of one or more companies) and determined either on a consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional,
subsidiary, line of business, project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof and subject to such adjustments, if any, as the Administrator specifies): sales; revenues; assets; expenses; earnings before or after deduction for all or any
portion of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization or equity expense whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per share basis; return on equity, investment, capital, capital employed or assets; one or more operating ratios;
operating income or profit, including on an after-tax basis; net income; borrowing levels, leverage ratios or credit rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow; stock price; stockholder return;
sales of particular services; customer acquisition or retention; acquisitions and divestitures (in whole or in part); joint ventures and strategic alliances; spin-offs, split-ups and the like; reorganizations;
center openings (including openings in new markets); new service or product lines; or recapitalizations, restructurings, financings (issuance of debt or equity) or refinancings. A Performance Criterion and any targets with respect thereto determined
by the Administrator need not be based upon an increase, a positive or improved result or avoidance of loss. Any Performance Criteria that are financial metrics may be determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”) or may be adjusted when established (or at any time thereafter) to include or exclude any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP. The Administrator may provide that one or more of the Performance
Criteria applicable to such Award will be adjusted to reflect events (for example, but without limitation, the impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, mergers, acquisitions, and other unusual or infrequently occurring items,
and the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes, each as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) occurring during the performance period that affect the applicable Performance Criterion or Criteria.

 BRIGHT HORIZONS FAMILY SOLUTIONS
INC. 
 2012 OMNIBUS LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
PLAN, AS AMENDED AND 
 RESTATED AS
OF MAY 29, 2019 

NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION
AGREEMENT (EMPLOYEES) 
 This agreement (this “Agreement”) evidences a stock option
granted by Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) to the undersigned (the “Optionee”) pursuant to the Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and
Restated as of May 29, 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. 

1.    Grant of Stock Option. On the date of grant set forth above (the “Date of Grant”), the
Company hereby grants to the Optionee an option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase, on the terms provided herein and in the Plan, up to the number of shares of Stock set forth above (each, a “Share”, and collectively,
the “Shares”) at the exercise price per Share set forth above, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof. 

The Stock Option evidenced by this Agreement is a non-statutory option (that is, an option that does
not qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code). The Optionee is an employee of the Company and/or of one or more subsidiaries of the Company with respect to which the Company has a “controlling interest” as
described in Treas. Regs. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E)(1). 
 2.    Meaning
of Certain Terms. Each initially capitalized term used but not separately defined herein has the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan. 

3.    Vesting; Method of Exercise. Unless earlier terminated, forfeited, relinquished or expired, the Stock Option
shall vest [●], provided, in each case, that the Optionee has remained in continuous Employment from the Date of Grant through the applicable vesting date, with the number of Shares that vest on any such date, other than the final vesting
date, being rounded down to the nearest whole Share. No portion of the Stock Option may be exercised until it vests. Each election to exercise the Stock Option must comply with such rules as the Administrator prescribes from time to time and must be
accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price in one or more of the forms described in Section 6(b)(3) of the Plan. In the event that the Stock Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Company will be under no
obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the person to exercise the Stock Option and compliance with applicable securities laws. The latest date on which the Stock Option or any portion thereof
may be exercised will be the [seventh 

  
 1 

 
(7th)] anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Final Exercise Date”). Any portion of the Stock Option that remains outstanding
and has not been exercised by the Final Exercise Date will thereupon immediately terminate. Upon any earlier termination of Employment, the provisions of Section 6(a)(4)(A)-(F) of the Plan shall apply. 

4.    Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation. By accepting the Stock Option, the Optionee expressly acknowledges and
agrees that his or her rights (and those of any permitted transferee) under the Stock Option or to any Stock acquired under the Stock Option or any proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any
successor provision). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 9 of this Agreement. 

5.    Transfer of Stock Option. The Stock Option may not be transferred except at death in accordance with
Section 6(a)(3) of the Plan. 
 6.    Certain Tax Matters. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees
that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued the Shares (or any portion thereof) upon exercise of the Stock Option, are subject to the Optionee’s promptly paying, or in respect of any later requirement of
withholding being liable promptly to pay at such time as such withholdings are due, to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion, including by withholding shares of Stock from any payment
hereunder in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee) all taxes required to be withheld, if any. No Shares will be transferred pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option unless and until the person
exercising the Stock Option has remitted to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local requirements with respect to tax withholdings then due and has committed (and by exercising the Stock Option such person
shall be deemed to have committed) to pay in cash all tax withholdings required at any later time in respect of the transfer of such Shares, or has made other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator with respect to such taxes. The Optionee
also authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold such amounts from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed as relieving the Optionee (or any permitted transferee) of any liability for
satisfying his or her obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section. 
 7.    Effect on Employment.
Neither the grant of the Stock Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Stock Option, will give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affect any right of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries to discharge or discipline the Optionee at any time, or affect any right of the Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time. 

8.    Form S-8 Prospectus. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has
received and reviewed a copy of the prospectus required by Part I of Form S-8 relating to shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan.  

  
 2 

 9.    Acknowledgments. By accepting the Stock Option, the
Optionee agrees to be bound by, and agrees that the Stock Option is subject in all respects to, the terms of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. The
Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the signature to this Agreement on behalf of the Company is an electronic signature that will be treated as an original signature for all purposes hereunder and (ii) such electronic
signature will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when this Agreement is countersigned by the Optionee.
