My 1 year old has been attending Kiddicare nursery in Barnet for a while now and I am very happy with the childcare Kiddicare nursery provides. I was very nervous about my baby starting nursery so young but the whole team has put me at ease during the settling in sessions. My son is very happy to go there and he smiles and laughs when he sees his key person. The Kiddicare team are very attentive and asked me to provide a couple of phrases in my first language that they can use during play. They also send me daily updates and monthly reviews about my son’s development needs. I was also very impressed with their food menu, which contains lots of fruit and veggies. Overall I’d definitely recommend this nursery and I’m very grateful for the service Maryam, Methi and the rest of the staff provide. I can go to work knowing that my baby will have a brilliant time there.

The education and activities are good, but most nurseries these days have good activities. For me, the most important thing is my child is happy at the place he spends a lot of the week, and he is so happy here he shrieks with excitement when his teacher appears at the door and sometimes even protests when it’s time to go home. We took a chance in this place when it had recently opened and I am so glad we did!
