About this day nursery

Country Kids Day Nursery aims to provide a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to make their own choices and direct their own learning experiences. The nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor play, fostering a connection with nature and allowing children to develop self-confidence and self-esteem through hands-on activities in the countryside.

They believe in a flexible approach to settling-in periods, understanding that each child adjusts at their own pace, and offer support to both children and parents for any separation anxiety. The nursery operates under an inclusive and egalitarian policy, ensuring that all children have access to their services regardless of gender, race, disability, religion, beliefs, or the sexual orientation of their parents.

They also provide a free school drop-off and collection service to local schools.

Outdoor space

Both my children have been going here since they were 9 months (currently 2 and 1) the nursery is an amazing home from home.Every member of staff know the children their likes and dislikes. My children have come on leaps and bounds since being there and I couldn't ask for a better child care service.

My little boy has been attending Country Kids Nursery for over a year and I can honestly say he loves it there. He has made lots of new friends and always comes out very happy. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to any changes. I have noticed a significant difference in my little boys development since being at Country Kids. Would 100% recommend this nursery.

Both of my children have attended Country Kids Day Nursery. My eldest has just started school and I can honestly say the transition to school was made so much easier because of everyone at Country Kids. My youngest has just started here and the staff have been fantastic at helping her settle. She absolutely loves her time here and always comes out happy after having the best time 😊

Absolutely by far one of the best nurseries in the area! Fantastic staff who go above and beyond every day and do such an amazing job! Giggles accepted us (at the last minute!) from a different nursery which we did not enjoy. My little boy was 8 months old then, he is now 17months and absolutely loves it at Giggles! He is always excited to go there every morning with a big smile on his little face and is always a happy little bunny when I take him back (never mind the time when he is too tired from happily playing all day with his friends). Staff is very friendly, very flexible and always ready to help/advise/support you when and as you need it. Me, as a new mum used them a lot for advice, and no matter how silly my questions might sound they always understand and explain it all, and always calm me down with their amazing experience and patience! Huge thank you to all and keep up the awesome work that you all do!! Many thanks! Margarita xx

I have nothing but praise for this daycare. Not only do the lovely workers at Country Kids Nursery in Holbeach centre their focus around the children, but they also focus on the individual needs of the child in their care and that of the parents too!☺️ They have supported and continue to support my little one during his physical and social development. I was sceptical about placing him in childcare as he was so young and couldn't tell me if something was wrong. With the reassurance from the ladies here, I chose this special daycare! I say special because even though my little one can't talk his body language and smiles when I collect him (after a long day), tell me everything I need to know about this place.🥰 As I've said before I don't know how you continously have smiles on your faces after what must be a full on day🤣 A special Thankyou to the team for everything you do and for making our nursery journey so comfortable and enjoyable. From me and little Riley Roo👏👏👏👏
