K&O is an outstanding nursery. I have 2 Children that are currently attending and one who has graduated from K&O Childcare. And their cognitive development has really amazed me. You would not believe their level of communication, writing and reading at just ages 2,3, and 5. The teachers and staff at the nursery are so warm and loving. My children are constantly telling me how much they adore them and can't wait to return to nursery. As a parent I find the teachers are approachable and willing to divulge in conversations regarding the welfare of my children. The manager also ensures a good rapport with parents. Also, The interaction between (owner) and her staff is extremely admirable. I am pleased to say that my decision to bring my children to K&O Childcare has been the best for them Educationally. And also to myself knowing my Children are well taken care of. Thanks a bunch K&O Childcare!!

My Daughter has been attending K & O nursery since my return to work back in 2015, on my first visit to the nursery, I was so impressed with how relaxed I was made to feel. My daughter had been struggling with her social and communications skills, but today she’s a confident social butterfly. The Team all pose a number of strong qualities, and through hard work, dedication and continuity they create an environment that I would proudly recommend to other parents. A** Guys!

Lovely nursery!! So far two of my children have been attending. My first was back in 2010 he is now 10. I have to say the nursery has maintained its fantastic reputation. My 2nd child (3 years) is currently attending at the moment and both my children have gained so much from being here. It has a great family feel to it! All the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive to all needs. I am so impressed with how much my children developed since starting here. Parents are always included in everything, and always welcome to participate in activities, or special events they have throughout the year. Without a doubt my third child (6 months) will be attending in the new year 2018, so they will be seeing me for at least another 4 years lol. Absolutely fantastic nursery!!!

My sister went to k&o and she has improved in every little thing she does, from being shy to being very confident and talkative. Every day she learns something new, I love the way the staff are so friendly and inviting, they dealt with my sister as if she was theirs.
